I'm glad Magic stood up and said something about the pea-brains in Minnesota, radio host Chris Baker and his sidekick Langdon Perry, who claimed that the NBA legend faked the fact that he is HIV positive.
Magic's statement (Media Matters):
"I am extremely disappointed in KTLK in Minneapolis. I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue. Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable," Johnson said. "Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies."
