Magic Johnson's retirement from basketball on Nov. 7, 1991, after learning he was HIV positive, was arguably the most shocking sports announcement in history.
ESPN's newest film, "The Announcement," looks back at its impact more than 20 years later.
According to ESPN, the movie includes Johnson talking about how he told his wife that he was HIV-positive, how his friends reacted, and the important role Pat Riley played shortly after Johnson's retirement.
Among those also interviewed in the film are Chris Rock, Karl Malone and Arsenio Hall.
The film airs Sunday, March 11 at 9 p.m. on ESPN. You can watch the trailer for "The Announcement," and the actual announcement, below.
