He began his journalism career at “Sports Illustrated” as a reporter. He then worked at “The New York Times”, before returning to “Sports Illustrated” as a senior editor. During that tenure, Johnson co-authored the magazine’s exclusive, first-person account of Magic Johnson’s sudden retirement from the NBA due to the HIV virus. Johnson has also spent time at “Savoy” and “Fortune”. He has co-authored two books: “Magic’s Touch” with Earvin Johnson and “Outrageous” with Charles Barkley.
