Magic Johnson: Tony Romo 'Great' at Handling Celebrity
Originally posted 08/07/2008 12:50PM
NBA legend Magic Johnson knows a thing or two about playing in the spotlight – and he says Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback and Jessica Simpson's boyfriend – can handle the hype too.
The former Laker, who brought "Showtime" basketball to L.A., visited Romo at the Cowboys' training camp Wednesday in Oxnard, Calif.
"I think he's doing great," Johnson, 48, said of the 28-year-old football star. "With everything that has been thrown at him, if you remember back with the fumble [that cost the Cowboys a playoff win in 2007], and now Jessica, I think he's done an incredible job. All Tony has to do now is just win."

Basketball legend Magic Johnson and director Spike Lee are teaming up to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS in a new set of public service announcements.
Directed by Lee, the two PSAs – "Stand" and "Talk" – feature Johnson, 48, and his wife Cookie, 49, encouraging the public to get informed about the disease, especially the younger population.
"I think a lot of times we just don't have the information," Johnson tells PEOPLE. "Especially young people. They think they're invincible and nothing can happen to them but the numbers are showing that those getting HIV are real young now. We have to now do something about that."
