Today, Apple debuts two docuseries about basketball. One is called The Long Game, about upcoming NBA hopeful Makur Maker. The most prominent is a four-part documentary on the life of the basketball legend Earvin Johnson, called They Call Me Magic. Both series are streaming now with an Apple TV+ subscription.
Utilising unprecedented access to Magic Johnson, and his family and friends, the series covers his career as a professional NBA superstar player on the Los Angeles Lakers, in addition to his later life as a business magnate, helping other Black communities be recognized in corporate America.
It also charts how his HIV diagnosis began a sea change in how the disease was perceived in worldwide culture.
The Long Game is about the burgeoning career of Makur Maker, who was headed to the NBA draft as a five-star candidate until an unexpected course of events led him to play college basketball for Howard University.
