On this day in 1991, LA Lakers Guard Magic Johnson, one of the League's Greatest Players in its history, shocked the sports world with the announcement that he had tested positive for the HIV Virus.
Johnson was selected for the NBA All Star Game in Orlando and dazzled fans with a MVP performance. He helped the Dream Team win the Gold in Barcelona and in 2002 was inducted in the Naismith Hall of Fame by a Unianimous Vote and was presented by his good friend Larry Bird.
