"They Call Me Magic" is a four-part documentary that will focus on Magic's iconic basketball career as well as his global impact both on and off the court. The docuseries series premieres April 22 on Apple TV+

In an April 6 interview with Variety's Selome Hailu, Magic spoke about learning to accept EJ's sexuality after he came out in 2010. 

A post shared by EJ Johnson (@ejjohnson_)

"When you grow up in team sports, you're thinking, 'Is he gonna play sports?'" Johnson told Variety. "And then when I saw that he liked dolls and to play dress-up … 'What are you doing?'"

Magic told Variety that they experienced a falling out before EJ went to college, but they've since reconciled their relationship.

"A lot of people don't love that I love my son," Magic continued. "He changed me. He was so proud. This dude here is just so proud of who he is."
