Magic Johnson appeared on Oprah’s “Next Chapter” over the weekend. One of the topics that came up was Magic’s experiences with women while in the NBA. Magic shared with Oprah how he dealt with women during that time. Magic made it clear that there would be no relationship, “I already know who my wife is going to be,” no slumber parties and lots of threesomes. But, Magic maintains that he was never disrespectful.
Oprah: When you were following around with all those women were you serious about any of them? Magic Johnson: Oh no, oh no and they knew. They wanted to be Mrs. Johnson and I was like, ‘Uh, ah I only got one person that’s gonna be Mrs. Johnson’. And they were like, ‘What? Why [not] me? Who is that? Who is she?’ All those type of things..When I get married, I’m marrying Cookie and they all knew that.
Oprah: Did it ever even occur to you to use protected sex?
Magic Johnson: No. I think at that time, it wasn’t a thing that everybody even talked about [protected sex]. It was the 80′s. It was a fun time and everybody having sex, unprotected sex.
Oprah: With one or more women at the same time?
Yes.
Oprah: How do you end an evening? Does the girl just then leave, will I see you again?
Yes. I wanted her to leave. I didn’t have people sleep over. That wasn’t the thing for me. So, it was more we had fun and that was it. I never disrespected women. I was always upfront. I wasn’t a guy who would mislead anybody. Once you’re upfront then they have to make a decision on what they wanna do and so they made their decision.
Magic said the women would try HARD to convince him. I’ve always said that the most pimpish thing about the truth is that it draws you into action. Once an athlete reveals his intentions or rules for engagement, you get to decide if that’s a situation that works for you. Fair exchange is no robbery.
