Later that evening, I got a call from my oldest friend who I have known since I was 4 (we were 35 at the time). He told me he was diagnosed that day with a fatal form of leukemia. Due to advances in medicine, both Magic and Donny are alive and very healthy today!!!

I heard that Magic was having a press conference shortly. I said "I LOVE BASKETBALL"!!! Basketball is my life. So I forgot work to sneak inside and watched the TV with Magic eventually saying words that I didn't want to hear & didn't even understand. (20 years old also). Since Foot Locker has so many windows I had to hide from supervisor. She kept coming out looking for me. I was devastated by the news. Not only was Magic not going to come back to take back his throne from MJ but now he might even die?!?! WTF? This really rocked my World. I hated Jordan throughout the 90's because I always believed that Magic would had came back in 92 to win the Championship. (Like he always did). He lost once to Dr.J, Bird, Isaiah but always came back to win the next year. I wanted 1 more shot at MJ like Magic & Laker fans deserved. Disappointment. I had to spend the next 7 years watching Jordan win titles against a watered down league. He didn't have to face an all-time great team like Magic did throughout the 80's. The 80's Celtics, Sixers, Pistons etc... were a real challenge. But Magic still found a way to make it to 9 out of 12 Finals in his first 12 years in the league winning 5 titles (should had been 7) Thanks to Riley in 89' and Worthy & Magic making bone-head plays in 84'.

You should have had that trademarked, you fool. I would have been happy to represent you in a Trademark Infringement lawsuit against MWP!
