He was a master entertainer who directed Los Angeles Lakers "Showtime" basketball to the heights of both glory and epic excess, all of it driven by his mind-blowing no-look passes and personal charm. Then in 1991, at the height of his charismatic power, Johnson then shocked the world with a startling cautionary tale about sexually transmitted disease that pushed public awareness of the HIV/AIDs crisis.

Through hundreds of interviews with Johnson's coaches, representatives past and present, teammates, opponents, friends and loved ones, as well as key conversations with Johnson himself over the years, Lazenby has produced the first truly definitive study, both dark and light, of Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Jr.--the revolutionary player, the icon, the man, the mystery"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.32309 Johnson La Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.32309 Johnson La Checked out 07/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Johnson La Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Johnson La Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Biography B Johnson La Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
