Appelez-moi Magic Johnson

Overall, its a pretty good, but short docuseries. It shines and entertains, but like Earvin 'Magic' Johnson's career it seems short and a little rush towards the end. Still it is pretty good, and almost anyone will love watching the series. Magic Johnson is just easy to love. He's a legend on the court, and off the court he cemented a legacy unlike anyone else.

This series is very very pro Magic. It almost feels like propaganda although its all true and Magic has done so many great things for him, his family, his community, and the rest of the world. This series mentions his relaxed nature and party-boy nature, but kind of glosses over his life as a young adult and what led him to his H. I. V. Diagnosis. But this series does mention his absolute love and loyalty to his family so its hard to think Magic would ever do wrong.

I came away from this series knowing more about Earvin Johnson and his business career than I initially did. Its just amazing what he has done since his first retirement from the NBA. Magic is lucky to be here and we are lucky to have Magic.

I've been a fan of Magic Johnson and Showtime Lakers up to this day. But I have been pondering this the whole time, how was Magic's sex life after the diagnosis? I think Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty is a better watch. Why would he also think that Karl Malone stabbed him in the back, during those times AIDS was raging, it's just natural that there would be apprehensions playing with him. And this documentary focuses more on his relationship with his wife Cookie, which despite his being a polygamist, wedding plans cancelled still ended up with each other. Watch this if you have 4 hours to spare.

I like Magic but this documentary is lame and hasn't the dynamic of the Last Dance by fare .

Also they don't show the very low points of his personal life when it came to all the scandals with the hookers ,groupies and cheerleaders involved at the beginning of the showtime era.

Way trash winning time is way better. Looking sad bland and no life as if it was rushed to put out an unpolished product to compete and it didn't work it's pure pure trash avoid this at all cost if u can.

First, I grew up in the 90's as a teenager loving NBA basketball. I remember Magic's smile and showtime. This documentary helped me a lot to understand who really was and Magic Johnson. One of the best basketball players of all-time.

Second, the documentary it's pretty well done, probably not as good as The Last Dance but not far from it. After watching this, I think Michael was the best player but Magic was overall better. With all his mistakes I think he has more charisma than Michael. His smile is contagious and it's difficult not admire for what it represents.

So, overall a great documentary if you loved 80's - 90's NBA and specially the Bird vs Magic era. Enjoy!
