I find that white grandfathers generally have the most rational opinions on black people

I worked with a girl, a collegiate basketball player and attorney, who was adamant that Magic never had HIV. That he agreed to claim it to destigmatize, raise money/awareness and all that. She would not accept even the possibility of it being real.

Why did he chose that over continuing his hall of fame basketball career?

Some 30 years after his announcement, it appears what Magic contracted was the first case of long-AIDS.

I never thought he was faking it.

However, I also never bought into the idea that he contracted it thru heterosexual sex. The chances of that happening were minuscule during the full-blown AIDS epidemic of the 80s.

I think he was lying about getting it from a chick and not gay sex or needles

It was homosexual sex.

Cookie never tested positive AFAIK.

Magic just another down-low brother. (shrugs)
