For Earvin “Magic” Johnson, some of the biggest moments in his life happened in Utah.
He won the NCAA Tournament in Salt Lake City 39 years ago. He competed against the Utah Jazz as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
And, after a short visit to Salt Lake City, he learned he was diagnosed with HIV.
“All the things in my life that were powerful happened in Utah,” he said. “My championship game in college was here. The day I got called home about HIV. Where was I? Utah.”
Johnson was one of the speakers at the Qualtrics X4 event on Thursday.
