    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Magic Johnson has carried the proverbial “torch” many times throughout his illustrious career.



    First, along with Larry Bird, for college basketball during the late '70s; second -- again, with that Bird guy -- for the NBA during the '80s; and then, most importantly, for HIV/AIDS awareness.

    It is only fitting that Magic will help carry the Olympic Torch during one of its legs on the way to Athens for this summer's Games.

    A gold medal winner with the Dream Team in 1992, Johnson joins other notable athletes carrying the flame this year, including Cathy Freeman, Carl Lewis, Gail Devers, Michael Johnson and Edwin Moses. Also running with the Torch are actresses Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. But none of them has magic. </div>

    <div align="left">What does Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie have to do with the Olympics? Horrible picks. But congrats to Magic on being selected.</div>

    I don't know about Anniston but Jolie is an American ambassador. She does charity work and helps 3rd world countries and stuff. I read an article about it, she really is a good choice.

    Aniston seems like someone who'd drop out of the relay as soon as she begins for forgetting that she's not supposed to run in high-heels.
