Iconic Moments
Jeanie Boss

Jeanie and Buck go back a long time. Her family has owned the Lakers since he came in 1979. She was named the President before the 2013-14 season and hired him as her main man in 2017. (Image: imgur.com)
Sister Jeanie's Family

Buck has stepped down from his role within the team. Managing a professional sports team like the Lakers was going to take a massive chunk of time and effort. He could never dedicate himself to the job and did the right thing by stepping down. Jeanie understands his decision, and everything's rosy between these two. (Image: imgur.com)
HIV Positive

It came as a shock to him when he was diagnosed as HIV positive in 1991. It was mostly known as a gay disease up until that point. His diagnosis gave the virus the traction that it needed to be placed as a deadly killer that didn't spare heterosexuals either. He retired immediately from the sport, took care of his health, didn't let his immune system go completely bust, and even made a brief comeback, first as a coach and then as a player. His lewd lifestyle was always going to put him in the line of fire. We can safely say that he dodged a bullet here. (Image: imgur.com)
One Cookie's Not Enough

Cookie was equally shocked, if not more, after his diagnosis. The poor woman was pregnant at the time with EJ when she heard the news that her husband had tested positive for HIV. Rumors about him being gay were doing the rounds as well. It must have been horrible being her at the time. (Image: imgur.com)
No More Side Chicks

She stuck by his side, even though he confessed to cheating on her. Multiple times with multiple women. The good part to her about this whole shit-show was that he wasn't really gay and that he was attracted to her. Luckily she didn't contract the disease. He, on the other hand, had to call everyone that he had ever slept with to let them know of the condition. That must have been very awkward. (Image: imgur.com)
Love Life - Single, Girlfriend or Wife?
Magic Johnson Wife - Cookie

This is one tough cookie. That pun was intended. She stuck by her man when he needed him the most. That's what every man needs in his life. The straight ones, at least. (Image: imgur.com)
Magic Johnson Wife - Cookie

He's biting his tongue. Looks like he wants to say something to justify himself. You better not, mate. Cookie knows your deal. (Image: imgur.com)
Family - Get to know them
Johnson Son/Daughter? - EJ

EJ is his son. He also wants to be his daughter. Did they mess Cookie up with some weird medication when she was pregnant with him? (Image: imgur.com)
Johnson Daughter - Elisa

That's his girl, Elisa. She's a fine looking woman. We're glad she doesn't want to be a boy. That'd be bizarre. (Image: imgur.com)
Johnson Car - What does he drive?

He had it all back in the day. That car looks futuristic. His son Andre is by his side. (Image: imgur.com)
Lincoln Navigator

The Navigator is a luxury SUV sold by Lincoln. The man's too old, and too big, to be driving sports cars these days. (Image: imgur.com)
House - Where does he live?
