The point i was trying to get across here is that i can only feel so bad for a man that has a condition that probably doesn't cripple him nearly as bad as it does other people who suffer from scoliosis. I use to follow the rockets quite frequently and there was about a 2 month span where Mac was getting treatment for his back by some of the best doctors in the world, and the rockets were footing the bill. It's like being in the best possible bad situation...if that makes sense.
I figured the magic johnson thing was self explanatory. Dude has had HIV for what, over 10 years now? Most people get full blown AIDS after 2 - 5 years, but last time i checked, Magic's infected blood cell count was so low he barely qualified as having HIV. So here is a guy who has terminal illness, got that terminal illness through sexual encounters with women while he was married, but in all likely hood, will live longer than the average person who does not have aids due to the amount of money he has, which allows him to get around the clock care and the best medicne money can buy.
