And he has no problem with it because their were rumors he caught the disease when he was "frolicking" with other men, namely a singer who died of HIV, can't think of his name at the moment. It's no coincidence that the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

BUt despite that, he is a stout business man, so I salute him with his investments, particularly into black neighborhoods, and owning the LA Dodgers.

I thought the downside would be he got a house in virginia.

His son is gay, but doesnt mean he's not a good person or that magic didnt do a good job raising him. Its not like he out there getting locked up or doing hella drugs like most rich kids do. His son is happy and doing well, I call that a win

Basketball legend Magic Johnson has opened an education center in downtown Atlanta for high school dropouts.


The Magic Johnson Bridgescape center helps give those who have left school, or are at risk of dropping out, the opportunity to earn a high school diploma. The program, which has just opened its doors, is free and accepts students aged 14 to 20 years old.

Unlike traditional schools, Bridgescape takes a holistic approach, with life skills counselors as well as teachers on site to provide developmental and academic support. Students get academic credits online, including one-on-one and small group classes.

Magic Johnson Bridgescape centers are already operating in Ohio, Missouri, New Jersey,North Carolina and Pennsylvania. More Georgia locations are planned in Augusta, Macon and Savannah
