15 years ago today....

Wow! I can remember the afternoon press conference so well. Magic Johnson told the whole world that he would be retiring from the NBA because he had HIV. Being a diehard Lakers fan my entire life, and watching "showtime" for so many years, it was probably the single most devasting day of my life.
Thankfully, with research and medication, many folks with HIV can live totally normal, healthy lives. Thankfully, Magic has stepped up and contributed tons of money for research and eventually a cure for this disease.
Yeah Magic Johnson.
