Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, the legendary basketball player and limited partner of the Washington Commanders, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Joe Biden. The ceremony took place at the White House, where Johnson was one of 19 recipients to receive the nation's highest civilian honor.
