Podcast – Thirty-six years old. About fifteen kilos too much. More than four years without playing. In January 1996, Magic Johnson became one of the most unlikely signings in NBA history.
In terms of comeback, in the NBA, we mainly talk about Michael Jordan, who came out of retirement twice. It was in 1995 and 2001. But between these two dates, another legend had retired from the courts, only to return later: Magic Johnson. HIV positive, the king of “show time” was forced to retire. And then, more than four years later, here he is back on the field!
As is often the case in this podcast, you will see that Michael Jordan is never far away when it comes to telling an incredible story.
Magic Johnson’s return to the NBA is what we tell you in this episode of Histoire(s) de basketball.
