Magic Johnson documentary ‘The Announcement’ headed to ESPN

Jon, this is utterly off topic, but I’m wondering if you might know anything about Daniel Espinosa, the Swedish director of “Safe House” with Denzel Washington. I can only find skimpy bio info about him, but Espinosa is obviously not a conventional Swedish name and, given his 1977 birth date, I’m guessing his parents were Chilean refugees, many of whom went to Sweden after 1973.

One of those moments in history:   I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news.  I suppose this is also one of those rare times when what seemed like a personal tragedy for him, and a collective loss for our city, became a teachable moment for the world, and the world actually listened and learned.  20 years later, he is a true leader of our city in business, civic affairs, and philanthropy.  Has there ever been a sports figure who ended up contributing so much to his city after he retired from the field of play?  And perhaps, perhaps, he will end up restoring that other LA team…

With AIDS mortality so very high at the time, I thought for sure that he was a goner. I remember being very angry at him at first because he was the greatest basketball player in history at the time and was on MY team. How could he do this to us? But then I was very sad because the guy was the greatest basketball player in history at the time and was on MY team and we were going to lose him. To this day I see his survival as a miracle and he truly is “Magic.”

Not trying to be sick or demented but, if Magic were to become our owner and he died. Who would be the owner then. Would we have to go through all of this again or what?
