Extractions: He has made it to 42. He has made it to 260 pounds. He has made it to CEO. He has made it to father-of-three. He has made it to big-brother-of-Kobe. He has made it to seven rings. He has made it to 10 years. "A lot of people thought I would be dead," Earvin "Magic" Johnson says of his anniversary. Magic Johnson's retirement 10 years ago stunned the world, but it likely hit closest to home for so many athletes who have enjoyed the spoils of their success. They thought he had the plague, but today he has a pickup basketball game to play. They treated him like a leper, but today they watch movies in his theatre. They thought he would whither away, but today his shirt size is XXXL. They remember Nov. 7, 1991, like it was last Thursday. They remember where they were when they heard that sickening phrase: HIV. They remember weeping. They remember rationalizing. They remember thinking, "He must be gay." They remember thinking he'll be gone in two years. They remember thinking he'll shrivel up and deteriorate. Right in front of them. And they know who they are. Michael Jordan. Larry Bird. Pat Riley. Arsenio Hall. Isiah Thomas.

Extractions: MARLENE CIMONS; TIMES STAFF WRITER WASHINGTON - The message from Earvin (Magic) Johnson, the newest member of the National Commission on AIDS, was simple but eloquent: The battle against AIDS belongs to everyone. "We're all in this. It's not just Magic Johnson. It's everybody. Until everybody recognizes that, we're not going to win this battle. I'm not the only soldier here. . . . Magic Johnson cannot do this alone." The former Los Angeles Lakers guard, who retired from professional basketball last fall after his disclosure that he was infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, was attending his first meeting Tuesday as a member of the federal panel. Johnson, 32, was similarly direct in delivering an unsparing message to President Bush, who appointed him to the commission. He told Bush in a hand-delivered letter: "No matter how good the team may be, it won't win the championship without the owner fully in the game. I don't feel you've been there up until now." The commission advises Congress and the White House on a national strategy to combat the epidemic. Johnson replaced Belinda Mason, a journalist who died of AIDS last fall.

Located in the Bayfair Mall in San Leandro, Calif., this new concept club is a full service fitness facility born out of the partnership between Magic Johnson Enterprises and 24 Hour Fitness. Twenty years ago, 24 Hour Fitness put down roots in the San Leandro community when it opened its first club and began what is now a 300-club strong national fitness chain. In 1983, the San Leandro location had 1,500 members and eight full-time employees. Today, the 45,000 sq ft., club is nine times its original size and is one of only six Magic Johnson Sport Clubs in the 24 Hour Fitness family. "This club holds an important place in the hearts of the 24 Hour Fitness family," said Mark S. Mastrov, chairman and CEO, 24 Hour Fitness. "In a way, this community started the round-the-clock business trend when late-shift factory employees began showing up at 2:00 a.m. in the early '80s. Today, this club supports 2,000 workouts a day. To see it evolve into one of our new concept clubs is exciting."

Grand River Ave., which opened earlier this month. Johnson, a Lansing native who led MSU to the NCAA championship in 1979, became emotional when talking about opening the East Lansing store, pausing to compose himself while speaking. Schultz said he is excited about the store opening. Schultz praised Johnson for his work with Seattle-based Starbucks. JENNIFER JANKOWSKI Besides helping Starbucks open in East Lansing, Johnson also donated his basketball jerseys from Lansing Everett High School, 3900 Stabler St., MSU and the Los Angeles Lakers for store display. This is the first time the three jerseys will be displayed in the same place. As Johnson unveiled the framed MSU championship jersey, the Spartan Marching Band broke out in the MSU fight song, to the cheers of the crowd. The crowd was filled with Johnson fans, who were not discouraged by the cold and the rain.

Extractions: and Casey Morse '00 Earvin Johnson didn't give a lecture last Thursday at Cornell. Instead, the basketball legend, AIDS activist and businessman gave some memories to a largely student audience of 2,000 who packed Bailey Hall and gave him a standing ovation when he entered. Sure, "Magic" Johnson helped the Los Angeles Lakers to five National Basketball Association championships and nine NBA finals appearances. Going one-on-one against the Isaiah Thomases, Moses Malones, Charles Barkleys, Larry Birds and Michael Jordans of his era, Johnson set a high standard of athletic excellence. But on Nov. 7, 1991, the high-flying, championship world of Magic seemed to come crashing down. "That was the hardest day of my life," Johnson told the sold-out Bailey Hall crowd Thursday evening. His doctor had summoned him to his office to give him some chilling news: Johnson had been diagnosed as being HIV positive. "After I got myself off the ground, I decided to get a positive attitude. There would be no stress in my life, I would take the medicine and do what the doctor told me to do," recalled Johnson.

(AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews, File) 'Magic' Johnson trying TV again The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) Basketball great Earvin "Magic" Johnson is getting back into the TV game after fouling out in 1998 with his talk show. Johnson said Wednesday he will produce and occasionally appear in the MTV reality show "Who's Got Game," documenting the lives of 12 street basketball players competing for fame and a $100,000 prize. Johnson said he's trying to play to his strengths as an athlete after the ill-advised attempt to be a comedian-interviewer on his own late-night talk show, which was pummeled by critics and canceled after two months. "This is what I'm all about: basketball. I grew up playing street basketball. I wasn't myself in 'The Magic Hour,"' said Johnson, who will visit neighborhoods in cities such as Washington, New York, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles in the next two months scouting for contestants.
