Chris Baker and Langdon Perry, on their KTLK 100.3 radio show in Minneapolis yesterday, said that they are convinced that the former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson faked AIDS.

While on the air yesterday the conversation went like this:

PERRY: What about diseases that are eminently treatable and you can live with for a long, long time quite happily if you just get some basic drugs?

BAKER: Like Magic Johnson.

PERRY: Like Magic with his fake AIDS.

BAKER: You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?

PERRY: I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS.

BAKER: Yeah, me too.

PERRY: ‘Cause he’s the only cured AIDS guy ever.

Michael Rand of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, overheard the exchange and decided to contact the former NBA great to get Magic’s reaction. Johnson said:

“I am extremely disappointed in KTLK in Minneapolis. I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue. Millions are dying of HIV/AIDS and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable. Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies.”

The 49 year old Johnson was diagnosed with AIDS in 1991. He was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2002 and was named Greatest Point Guard of All Time by ESPN in 2007. Magic and his wife Cookie have a son Earvin III and a daughter Elisa.

Something tells us this might not be the end of the story….
