This is a BRAND NEW Hardcover Edition of the 2023 book entitled, "MAGIC: The Life of Earvin "Magic" Johnson" By Roland Lazenby.

Longtime biographer Roland Lazenby spent years tracking the unlikely ascension of Johnson--an immensely popular public figure who was instantly scandalized but who then turned to his legendary will to rise again as a successful entrepreneur with another level of hard-won success.

Through hundreds
of interviews with Johnson's coaches, representatives past and present,
teammates, opponents, friends, and loved ones, as well as key conversations

revolutionary player, the icon, the man.
