Earvin Johnson Dominates Apple TV+ this April 22nd With his new Docu-series, They Call Me Magic

After revealing that they had placed an order for a new documentary from Earvin Johnson back in February, Apple TV+ has finally delivered a glance into this new show.

The docuseries focuses on Ervin Johnson’s (playing Magic Johnson) real-life chronicles; Barry expects to achieve the best reputation on and off his court duties. It also focuses on Magic’s effect on basketball ball back at Michigan State.

The official trailer kicks off with Johnson displeased with his label “Magic,” as he thinks nobody would carry him seriously with such a name. 

After playing LA Lakers for thirteen seasons, Magic retired involuntarily in 1991 when he got HIV. He still played on and off till he officially withdrew in 1996. Since then, Magic has become an activist for HIV/AIDS prevention and a great icon to the community.

The player’s Magic Foundation of 1991 supported community affairs based on health, education, and social needs. Magic retired with a total of thirty-two jerseys.
