Johnson, a former forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, led the Lakers to five NBA titles. He was part of the Olympic ‘Dream Team’ in 1992 and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002. Johnson is also known for going public after he was diagnosed with HIV. By going public, he helped turn the tide of the stigma against people living with HIV. Since then, he has become a vocal advocate of HIV prevention and awareness, and has championed development programs in poor urban neighborhoods.
