What makes global sports icon Earvin Johnson "Magic"? For some, it's his megawatt smile and dazzling style of play – a style that forever changed the game of basketball. For others it's the shock of an HIV diagnosis that he transformed from grief into triumph, shifting the global dialogue about the disease and overcoming its odds.
This Apple Original four-part documentary series They Call Me Magic explores the life of a black kid who parlayed his position as a superstar player into a billion dollar business empire, blazing new trails for former athletes and revolutionising the way corporate America does business.
