More quotes by Magic Johnson
When you are a successful business person, you are only as good as your team. No one can do every deal alone.
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
I'm from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers... it was easy it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.
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
I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.
Magic Johnson
If the community is happy, then they support your business and if your business is doing well, then you can give back even more to the community.

If you want someone to be your mentor, you better be ready to listen and be humbled.
Magic Johnson
Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players. I picked guys with less talent, but who were willing to work hard and had the desire to be great.
Magic Johnson
I was around when my father finished the last payment of his house. I remember like it was yesterday. He had worked all those years to own that house and he cried. He was so excited and so happy and I want to see other people get that feeling, too.
Magic Johnson
When you are honest and open with young people, they let you in.
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
I was able to see what I wanted to do, I could see the opportunity, even when others could not, and I stay committed to doing it and doing it well, no matter what.
Magic Johnson
Any guy who can maintain a positive attitude without much playing time certainly earns my respect.
Magic Johnson
The real story is that I had unprotected sex. That's that. That's easy.
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
Standing on that platform, I said a silent prayer. I thanked God for giving me the strength and the opportunity to come back, to play basketball again, and to be part of that whole magnificent Olympic experience. It's a memory I will always cherish.
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
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom. Just like right now with the whole mortgage crisis, I want to help people get back into their homes.
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
We are a company that lives and breathes a philosophy that's centered on not only making sound business decisions but also personally and professionally finding ways to contribute to the well being of society. We are also a company that understands community.
Magic Johnson
