OT: [Blog] Magic Johnson slept with 300-500 people a year!

Still nothing compared to Wilt.

Wilt's claim has been refuted by a number of his friends and ex-teammates. Apparently, his "game" was actually pretty weak.

Heheh.

Seriously though, in a book I read about Wilt, some close friends of his (of which there were very few) think that the amount of women he was sexually involved with is far smaller than many think. One "lifelong" female friend of his claims that she rarely saw him in the company of other women.

Methinks Wilt just liked talking about numbers. Plus, he's never had any women try to take him to court.

i'm sure it wasn't that count a year. you can't sleep with that many ppl a year and perform as an athlete.

"PEOPLE"

According to bill simmons wilt was overcompensating.

In the 60's, I made love to many, many women. Often outdoors... in the mud and the rain. And it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing

Pro athletes are not average people. Besides, Magic was having groupie sex immediately after the games, in the Lakers locker room.

I call BS. Where does one come up with a number like 300-500? The deviation in range calls the claim into question.

[bakafool]

500 was obviously in his contract year.

Sorry but losing so much of his seed on a daily basis would leave him drained and lethargic

Doesn't this make magic johnson bisexual?, The dude specified that he slept with "people" and not "woman". So how don't we know a dude gave him HIV. This just came up in my mind, i..wait, i HOPE i am wrong.

Why does it say "people" and not "women"?

EDIT: Looks like the guy above me pointed this out already.

[Kabookalu]

Maybe it just isn't "people"? Hmmmmm....

[Tony_Montana]

go away.

[I.D.]

What changes about Magic Johnson if he is bi-sexual? What difference is there between that and him being black instead of white or male instead of female? How does this change what he was capable of?

On a side note, and not meaning to speculate, but numbers for transmission of the HIV virus in cases of conventional heterosexual intercourse are exponentially lower than in cases of homosexual intercourse or needle sharing etc. The main fluid of transmission is blood and so the myth that unprotected vaginal intercourse with a carrier pretty much guarantees transmission is often not the case (not that that makes it OK). The chances are actually extremely low in those instances (from much of the statistics I've seen, which I will say are reliable to the best of my knowledge). Take from that what you will.

this guy is a MACHINE!!!

but this is when we have to be mature adults.
it doesn't matter if its a guy or girl that gave him HIV.
if he was banging 500 guys a year, its as equal of a ridiculous accomplishment as banging 500 girls.

There’s a new Jerry West biography coming out this week called “Jerry West: The Life and Legend of a Basketball Icon.” While the book is about West, the passage that is sure to attract the most media attention is this juicy tidbit about Magic Johnson in the final chapter:

“That November, as a new season was set to open, Magic Johnson announced to the world that he was HIV positive, a stunning event that brought revelations about the climate of sexual frivolity around the Lakers. Johnson admitted he had been sleeping with 300-500 people a year. The team’s locker room, and its sauna, had been a place where the star and other players had entertained women, even right after games. Johnson would retire to the sauna after a game, have sex, then put on a robe and return to the locker room for his post-game media interviews. How far had the team gone in condoning such questionable behavior? ‘I cared,’ West said in his interviews for this book. ‘I did things for those guys. It was ridiculous, some of the things I did for those guys. If the public knew they’d be outraged. It was a pretty crazy period for us.’”

I bolded that one sentence for emphasis. 300 to 500 people a year! And am I reading too much into this when I notice that the word “people” is used instead of “women”? We’ve all heard the rumours, right? Anyway, it seems to me that Jeff Pearlman needs to get started writing the definitive unauthorized Magic Johnson biography, pronto.
