There’s a new Jerry West biography coming out this week called “Jerry West: The Life and Legend of a Basketball Icon.” While the book is about West, the passage that is sure to attract the most media attention is this juicy tidbit about Magic Johnson in the final chapter:

“That November, as a new season was set to open, Magic Johnson announced to the world that he was HIV positive, a stunning event that brought revelations about the climate of sexual frivolity around the Lakers. Johnson admitted he had been sleeping with 300-500 people a year. The team’s locker room, and its sauna, had been a place where the star and other players had entertained women, even right after games. Johnson would retire to the sauna after a game, have sex, then put on a robe and return to the locker room for his post-game media interviews. How far had the team gone in condoning such questionable behavior? ‘I cared,’ West said in his interviews for this book. ‘I did things for those guys. It was ridiculous, some of the things I did for those guys. If the public knew they’d be outraged. It was a pretty crazy period for us.’”

First and foremost, the wording of this is strange, hence it’s placed in bold text. I know I can’t be the only person who finds it weird that he said “people” rather than “women”.  Nonetheless, I won’t judge. It’s clear, Magic definitely got it popped off in the 80’s. How horny do you have to be to have sex immediately after playing full court basketball game and then do your post game interview. Shit, it’s hard to for me to even be convinced that Tiger has a sex addiction when I hear stories about Magic. Between beating chicks in the elevator & right before post game interviews, he was clearly trying to break Wilt’s Record. The question I wanna know is……how the hell did AC Green manage to stay a virgin all those years?  No matter how religious you are this is simply impossible.
