If Magic Johnsons NBA career wasn't "bad ass" enough for the the average man, it's how he has dealt with certain problems off the court that makes him a bad ass.

The number one pick in the 1979 NBA draft went on to have an amazing professional basketball career. 3 time NBA MVP, 9 times he led his team into the NBA finals, and has made 12 NBA All Star appearances.

It was in 1991 that Magic retired for the first time after announcing he had HIV. Now for the the normal man, HIV isn't anything that just comes and goes, but it truly is Magic the way that Johnson has been able to deal with it for the last 18 years!

Another interesting fact about Magic is that he is every bit the business man. He owns Magic Johnson enterprises which combines many different companies. Apparently while on the local Washington DC radio station a few years ago, he explained how he owns about 80 Starbucks franchises. Thanks pal.

Either way Magic is rocking his 18th year as a man living with HIV. That's way better than Pedro Zamora can brag about! I'm sure Puck regrets putting his fingers in the peanut butter now!
