I remember when...

I'm too young to remember the Kennedy assassination or the day the Challenger exploded so this was my first big, pivotal "I remember where I was..." moment. Obviously, this ended up not being as big as the Oklahoma City bombing or 9/11, but this was big, especially for a huge NBA fan like me. The documentary really does a good job at taking us step-by-step into the process that Magic went through up "The Announcement."
Of course, Magic had to narrate it himself. Not that he was bad, but he was "Magic." I would've went with someone else. This is my biggest complaint with this documentary.
As far as the AIDS crisis goes, there was pre-Magic and post-Magic. Magic has been nothing but good for getting the message out there about AIDS. Now, his son has come out as gay, which further moves his story along.
