Godot 149 Posted April 15, 2006 Hi there, Mr FTS, Has Earvin III got HIV too? Not that it matters, he's not really famous enough for the DL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted April 15, 2006 He's survived - like - a decade and a half when he's HIV. That's Magic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted April 15, 2006 Im pretty sure Im right in saying hes in very good health - I saw him on TV not long ago and there is no sign of any illness. Well-remembered DWB but I think Magic will be going for plenty of years to come. Is this still his address and phonenumber MAGIC JOHNNSON FOUNDATION 2029 CENTURY PARK EAST SUITE 810 LOS ANGELES,CA 90067 (310)785-0201 Talk about obsessive fans.. You all need to get a life of your own and be somebody... Kneeling at the gates of his home isn't going to put green dollar bills in your pocket and it certainly won't make your lovely lives a success. But I do find it amazing that he's survived so long. He must have a certain form of HIV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I just had a portion of what he has spent on AIDS cure and I could retire! Have you ever considered defrauding the charitable? Start up a fake AIDS research charity and let the money pour in.

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted June 28, 2012 In late breaking news former New York Knicks and Miami Heat forward Patrick Cummings has been found to be dead in a New York City abode. Police are saying there does not appear to have been any foul play. His girlfriend is said to have found him dead on a pullout sofa in a 1st floor unit at 40 minus 10 Christopher Street. Former NBA veteran, Cincinnati standout Pat Cummings dead at 55 - ESPN Former New York Knicks forward Pat Cummings dies at 55 - NYPOST.com Former Knicks player Pat Cummings found dead | 7online.com He was born July 11, 1956 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and went on to drink his milk (which does a body good) and eat Wonder Bread (known for building bodies in 12 ways) before topping out at the height of 6 foot 9 inches. He played with the Knicks (once known as The New York Knickerbockers) in the mid to late 1980s with the likes of Patrick Ewing so given the similarity in names I am wondering if the grim reaper took the wrong man and will be back soon to collect.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted February 18, 2013 Sad news. Jerry Buss was a great owner Guess your inside info about his character is sound about him. Shame i never new much about him beyond his wiki page. However thanks to the news from Death Impends, that he was very ill, has proved of such sound insight that my Rotten.com Deadpool team is off and running.

Death Impends 7,975 Posted February 18, 2013 Glad to have been of assistance Confessedly I hadn't heard of him either until he was in the hospital last year, but most of the basketball players I've heard of had played under his team some point during their careers (Shaq, Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,975 Posted February 19, 2013 This article on Buss mentions that Bill Sharman, a Lakers coach, is now in failing health. He's 86 so it could very well just be age rather than specific ailments, but I figured it was worth sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
