More quotes by Magic Johnson
You can't get AIDS from a hug or a handshake or a meal with a friend.
Magic Johnson
My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That's the key I may be up early, but I'm in bed early too.
Magic Johnson
Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.
Magic Johnson
People don't stop eating, and they don't stop drinking coffee.
Magic Johnson
It all started when I got injured early in my second season. This turned out to be as difficult emotionally as physically.
Magic Johnson
My father was a great example of a strong and good man and Christian man, and my mother taught all my six sisters how to be young ladies and mothers and how to take care of your family. And so I think they were - they still are - great examples for all of us to their kids and to the world, too.
Magic Johnson
I tell you, it's funny because the only time I think about HIV is when I have to take my medicine twice a day.
Magic Johnson
For me, it always goes back to something I learned in basketball. There's winning and there's losing, and in life you have to know they both will happen. But what's never been acceptable to me is quitting.
Magic Johnson
Assists is what Earvin is all about. That's what my whole life has been, assisting others.
Magic Johnson
Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could've had.
Magic Johnson
I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.
Magic Johnson
It's a burden trying to keep a secret. It's hard. It probably takes more out of you trying to hold it and keep it than it does for you to really let it out.
Magic Johnson
You either have to be great or you have to be bad to get a good pick.
Magic Johnson
On the best tactic when playing alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar- Just give him the ball.
Magic Johnson
Once Michael gets up there he says, 'Well, maybe I'll just hang up here in the air for a while, just sit back.' Then all of a sudden, he says, 'Well, maybe I'll 360. No I changed my mind. I'll go up on the other side.' He's just incredible.
Magic Johnson
I motivate others by making sure that they understand to go after their dreams and dont let anyone tell you you cant. If you are motivated enough and put the work in that you can achieve anything in life that you set your mind to.
Magic Johnson
We cut him off and there was nowhere for him to go but out of bounds ... It's still the greatest move I've ever seen in basketball, the all-time greatest.
Magic Johnson
God blessed me with two unbelievable parents, and I am just like both of them. I have the smile and charisma of my mother and the big heart of my mom, because she wants to save the world and help the world, so I am just like her.
Magic Johnson
When you face a crisis, you know who your true friends are.
Magic Johnson
You know I was a shy guy and people didn't know that and still don't know it today. I'm sure basketball brought my shyness out because of the fact that you have to do interviews, and that people are always talking to you in terms of the fans and everything.
Magic Johnson
