Four-time NBA champion John Salley compares NBA players with COVID-19 to the Lakers great Magic Johnson becoming HIV+:

Per Wikipedia: “Johnson retired abruptly in 1991 after announcing that he had contracted HIV, but returned to play in the 1992 All-Star Game, winning the All-Star MVP Award. After protests from his fellow players, he retired again for four years, but returned in 1996, at age 36, to play 32 games for the Lakers before retiring for the third and final time.”
