    OFFICIAL: Michigan State basketball icon and NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson has been officially named one of the 100 Most Influential People in Sports by TIME 100 Magazine— a legend in every sense of the word!

     — Basketball icon, philanthropist, and business mogul Earvin “Magic” Johnson has once again made headlines — this time for being named one of TIME 100’s Most Influential People in Sports. The announcement, made earlier today, celebrates Johnson’s lifelong impact on the world of athletics, social justice, and entrepreneurship.

    A proud alumnus of Michigan State University, where he led the Spartans to a national championship in 1979, Johnson’s influence spans far beyond the basketball court. From his five NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers to his groundbreaking role as a public figure living with HIV, Magic Johnson’s journey has inspired generations across all walks of life.

    TIME recognized Johnson not only for his stellar athletic achievements but for his enduring commitment to underserved communities. Through Magic Johnson Enterprises, he has invested millions in urban development, opening theaters, Starbucks locations, and other businesses in neighborhoods often overlooked by major corporations.

    “Magic Johnson redefined what it means to be an athlete,” wrote TIME contributor and fellow NBA legend LeBron James in a tribute. “He brought style, grace, and joy to the game, and then took that same energy into the boardroom, the community, and every challenge he’s faced.”

    Johnson, now 66, remains active in both sports and business. He is a part-owner of several major sports franchises, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Commanders, and continues to be a vocal advocate for health equity, particularly within the Black community.

    In a statement, Johnson expressed deep gratitude for the honor. “To be recognized by TIME alongside so many remarkable figures in sports is truly humbling,” he said. “Basketball gave me a platform, but my purpose has always been bigger than the game.”

    Michigan State University is planning a special ceremony later this fall to celebrate the honor, inviting students, alumni, and fans to commemorate the enduring legacy of one of its greatest icons.

    As TIME’s list reflects on the people shaping the future of sports, culture, and society, Magic Johnson stands as a powerful example of how influence, when matched with integrity and purpose, can transcend generations. From the hardwood of East Lansing to the global stage, Magic continues to live up to his legendary name.
