NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson recently reflected on 30-year of retirement from professional basketball after his HIV diagnosis.
The former Los Angeles Laker legend thanked God for his life and protection during the past 30 years.
“God has really blessed me!” Johnson, 62, tweeted. “Today marks 30 years living with HIV, so the message resonated with me in such a tremendous way. I thank the Lord for keeping me, giving me strength, and guiding me for 62 years but especially the last 30.”

After 11 All-Star selections, three MVP awards, and five NBA championships, Johnson retired in 1991.

The athlete’s comments this week were inspired by a sermon titled “Living Through the Affliction” by his pastor, Bishop Charles Blake of West Angeles Church of God in Christ in LA.
