- Savvy sports fans had seen it coming since the Summer
- Olympics in Barcelona: MAGIC JOHNSON, the world's most
- recognized basketball player, would make a triumphant return to
- the N.B.A. And last week that's just what he did. After less
- than a year in retirement, Johnson, who'd announced he was
- infected with HIV, says he is ready to come back to the court.
- The much loved Magic plans to play 50 to 60 of the season's 82
- games for his team, the Los Angeles Lakers. He has got the green
- light from doctors and received nothing but support from former
- teammates, fans and friends. Topping all the warm wishes: a
- hefty $14.6 million extension on his contract.
