13, 14 years ago, I was working a movie premiere at the Manns Chinese Theater. As the show let out , all the stars come out wave to the crowd & duck into their limos & drive off. Magic walks out of the theater , walks directly over to the security rails, signs autographs & takes pictures with all of the people that waited for everyone to come out. He did that for 15-20 minutes easy. Its the little things that go a long way.

Magic is one of those guests that is just a pleasure to see. And that bit with the coats was incredibly funny. That is why Jimmy Kimmel is the best late night talk show host!

I love Magics laughter! Such a beautiful and addictive laugh! He's an amazing human being deserves all the success .

I lived in an apartment in Nashville for 23 years, and the only trick or treater I ever had, in the early 80's, was a black kid about 10 yrs old dressed up like Magic, with a number 32 Lakers jersey. So cute.

In 1977 we got to see Earvin Johnson play in Germany with the inaugural McDonald's All American all-stars after his senior high school season. It was such fun to watch him play and that famous smile of his was already magic. Fans ever since.

His laughter is truly joy-filled! What a remarkable example of humility and grace!

I have been a fan of this man since the 80s, Lakers were my team, so glad he's still on shows like this, he's been retired for 27 years and still considered the best Point Guard

He's literally the first person to get AIDS, and be like, "I'm gonna beat that!". And did. And due primarily to him transformed the disease from an imminent death sentence, to something you can manage and live with. A true hero.

He hasn't progressed to AIDS that is the late stage of disease w/ CD4+ count < 200 and/or opportunistic infection w/ an AIDS-defining illness. He announced in 1991 that he contracted HIV from unprotected (heterosexual) sex. His virus level is virtually undetectable as he is on the HAART regimen; only AZT (zidovudine) was available when he was 1st diagnosed - the triple therapy regimen was approved 5-years later. He is not "cured" and remains on treatment.

He is very charismatic , charming , and very personal. He is always in such a good mood , outlook , his laugh is so contagious. Great to see him on Kimmel's show. ps The tres Amigos with the coats lol.

The aura of Magic is pure light, just a genuinely good guy. very rare thing

Magic's interviews are always stellar

Man I love seeing him reunited with his coat that was awesome Jimmy

I love the way he laughs. Brings joy to my bad day.

The greatest point guard ever. The greatest nickname ever. A humble great human being.

This made my day. Thank you Magic, Jimmy and the rest of the show peoples!

One of the kindest men I have ever met! Magic, you are Magic! Mona loved you ❤️

This was a classic interview! I pray everyone finds that Magic kind of joy in life!

Think about what this man has accomplished in the last 32 years since announcing that he had the, at the time, death sentence of HIV. That forced him to choose a new path and that path made him a billionaire. Props.

The man is just the definition of all you wanna be and the way he make it so cool about it is just out of this world. Huge respect that a billionaire can do that so comfortably. Much love magic!

Magic Johnson has a grandfather's laugh, beautiful. 😊

I was a huge Lakers fan back in the Magic J days. Even back then I always enjoyed watching him play with such intensity, but at times sure joy. He enjoyed playing at that level. I haven't seen many players do likewise. His sense of humor is GOAT.

How can you not love this guy!!

You just have to love Magic! Absolutely deserved his wealth. God bless him and his family❤🙏🍀

I like that magic still knew he still is and was the greatest point guard of all time

His pure poker face shade to Curry was old school class.

I love magic he is so friendly and he makes it easy to talk to him What I would like to se is him in his office on the phone or in person when he gets heated up on a business deal

Very contagious laughter

Cleto and the Cletones played Mr. Magic by Grover Washington Jr. So cool! Thank you!

Geez, MJ looks as young as ever. And that beautiful smile. Love him!

He’s a joyful guy

Following MJ on tour is and was always my dream

Is there any man happier than Marvin Magic Johnson.

Magic needs to invite Jimmy and Molly next trip, JUST on the strength of that laugh he got from the fur coat recycleorama.

Magic is such a nice dude!

Probably the most charming and magnetic billionaire ever... My father was a Bird and Celtics fan from the 80's. The first NBA game I've ever watched was a Celtics game. He used to have our relatives send recorded Celtics games in VHS from the US to our country. I've grown to appreciate Magic because of his rivalry and friendship with Bird. Magic is probably one of the most charismatic African-American celebrities in my generation.

The man is just a pure bundle of joy, lifts me up with the laughter alone

Its impossible to not like Magic.

I've always thought Magic was a sweet, genuine guy but now it's nice to know he's a kickass businessman!

Hilarious fur coat stooges scene😂 great guy Magic Johnson 👏👏👏💕
