1. Propaganda is REAL.

Celebs that evoke positive emotional responses from the demographic are best suited where there is no logic in the agenda.

#MagicJohnson allegedly contracted HIV while having extra marital affairs while playing for the @Lakers.
He attempts to tell what “he would’ve done” as a moral push for current players, when his immoral actions back then is how he contracted HIV.

One of the Ostrower Family's most valued possessions is a VHS recording of the #StarWars world bcast premiere on CBS from March 1984.
No one owned home videos back then so this was a big BIG deal. It was the only way to rewatch a movie.

🧙🏿♂️Earvin Johnson nació el 14 de agosto de 1959 en Lansing, Michigan, en donde fue creciendo su amor por el basquetbol y a los 15 años se ganó el mote de “Magic”, cuando un periodista local relató sus hazañas en la duela y remató su crónica con el apodo de “Magic”.
🏀Los Espartanos de la Universidad Estatal de Michigan fue su equipo en los colegiales y con ellos ganó el título de la NCAA de 1979, al vencer a la Universidad de Indiana en donde jugaba Larry Bird.
💥Ahí fue donde inició la 'rivalidad' entre los dos jugadores de la NBA.
