the president already promising to take in 100,000 refugees, and at this hour russian forces, agency you know, are intensifying their attacks. we have been reporting here. this is part of the new offensive, russia says, focusing on the eastern donbas region. the russian front extending 300 miles. ukrainian forces are refusing to surrender in the crucial port city of mariupol. the last remaining fighters are refusing to surrender inside the massive steel plant, a ukrainian commander acknowledging in the last 24 hours they are out numbered by the russians ten to one, warning they are possibly facing their last days if not hours inside the steel plant. abc news unable to independently verify reports about 1,000 civilians might also be inside the plant for shelter. up to 120,000 people are still mariupol.o be trapped in - to surrender, mariupol would give russia, of course, a crucial land bridge to crimea given the region we are talking

about. russia also with a new show of force, test launching a new intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. vladimir putin declaring it a success and saying those who threaten russia will think twice. let's take a listen to president biden expected to announce the new aid to ukraine. >> good morning, everyone. sorry to keep you waiting a little bit. i had the honor of spending some time with the ukrainian prime minister who is in town today, and he is meeting with some of my cabinet members including secretary of treasury and others. and we had a good discussion. i have talked about what i'm about to tell you about today as well as he was thanking the american people for their support, understand it is significant and we talked about keeping everyone together in terms of europe, the european union and others, in the effort to stop putin's brutality. but before i head out to the

west coast i want to quickly update the american people on the latest steps we're taking to support the people of ukraine and to hold putin accountable for his brutal and bloody war. russian forces have retreated from kyiv, leaving behind them horrifying evidence, and you have seen it and you reported it, you follows -- by the way, i don't say this often but i think we should give enormous credit to the folks from your agencies on the ground, in ukraine, in these spots, and they're really -- i have spoken to it is -- we owe them. but uncovering these evidences atrocities and war crimes against the ukrainian people, it is so clear to the whole world now. now they've launched and refolk refocused to seize territory in ukraine, and we're in a critical period of time where they will set the stage for the next

period of the war. we are moving as fast as possible to continue to provide ukraine the forces they need, the weapons they need, excuse me, the equipment they need, their forces need to defend their nation. last week i signed a $800 million package of security assistance to ukraine including new capabilities like artillery systems and armored personnel carriers, equipment responsive to ukraine's needs and tailored to support the intense field fighting in the donbas region which is a different war than other places because topographically it is different. it is flat, it is not in the mountains and it requires different kinds of weapons to be more effective. today i'm announcing another $800 million to further augment ukraine's ability to fight in the east, in the donbas region. this includes heavy artillery weapons, dozens of howitzers and 144,000 rounds of ammunitions to go with the howitzers. it also includes more tactical drones.

in the past two months we have moved weapons and equipment to ukraine at record speed. we spent thousands of anti-armor, helicopters, machine guns, rifles, radar systems, more than 50 million rounds of am m ammunition have been sent. the united states has provided ten anti-armor systems for every one russian tank in ukraine, a ten-to-one ratio. we are sharing and will continue to share significant timely intelligence with ukraine to help defend them against russian aggression. on top of this, these direct contributions from the united states, we are facilitating, we are the outfit facilitating the significant flow of weapons and assistance to ukraine from other allies and partners around the world, like the s-300 long-range anti-aircraft systems that slo vau slovakia recently gave to ukraine, we are getting them in

there. we can't support everything, but to modernize teddy roosevelt's famous at vice, sometimes we will speak softly and carry a large javelin because we are sending in a lot of those as well. we are not sending on the funding congress has provided for ukraine. we are sending it directly to front lines of freedom, to the fearless and skilled ukrainian fighters who are standing in the breach. you have to admit you must be amazed at the courage of this country, the resolve that they showing, not just their military but the average citizen. men and women, young men, young women as well. you know, the sustain and coordinated support of the international community, led and pta sill at facilitated by the united states is a significant reason why ukraine is able to stop russia from taking over their country thus far. every american taxpayer, every member of our armed forces can be proud of the fact that our country's generosity and the

skill and servic of our military helped arm and repel russia's aggression in ukraine. to beat back putin's savagery that tried to seize ukraine's capital and wipe out ukraine's government. the battle of kyiv was a historic victory for the ukrainians. it was a victory for freedom won by the ukrainian people with unprecedented assistance by the united states, our allies and our partners. now, now we have to accelerate that assistance package to help prepare ukraine for russia's offensive that's going to be more limited in terms of geography but not in terms of brutality, not in terms of brutality. combined with our recent drawdowns, it will ensure a steady flow of weapons and equipment into ukraine over the next few weeks. however, with this latest disbursement i have almost exhausted the draw-down authority that i have, that congress authorized for ukraine in a bipartisan spending bill last month. in order to sustain ukraine for

the duration of this fight net week i will have to be sending to congress a supplemental budget request to keep weapons and ammunition flowing without interruption to the brave ukrainian fighters who continue to deliver economic assistance to the ukrainian people. my hope and my expectation is that congress would move and act quickly. i want to thank the congress, democrats and republicans, for their support for the people of ukraine. our unity at home, our unity with our allies and partners and our unity with the ukrainian people is sending unmistakable message to putin. he will never succeed in dominating and occupying all of ukraine. that will not happen. in addition to bolstering ukraine's resistance on the battlefield, we are demonstrating our support for the people of ukraine. today the united states is announcing we intend to provide an additional $500 million in direct economic assistance to the ukrainian government. this brings our total economic support to ukraine to $1 billion

in the past two months. this is money the government can help use to stabilize their economy, to support communities that have been devastated by the russian onslaught, and pay the brave workers that continue to provide essential services to the people of ukraine. you know, these past weeks have seen a terrible human cost of putin's ambition for conquest and control. approximately two-thirds, two-thirds of all ukrainian children have been displaced from their home. more than 5 million ukrainians have fled their country. it is an absolute outrage. the idea that this is happening approaching the second quarter of the 21st century is just -- last month when i was in europe i announced that the united states would welcome 100,000 ukrainians so that we share in the responsibility of supporting the ukrainians fleeing putin's war machine. we have already welcomed tens of thousands of ukrainians to the united states, and today i am

announcing a program unite for ukraine, a new program to enable ukrainians seeking refuge to come directly from europe to united states. this new humanitarian parole program will complement the existing legal pathways available to ukrainians, including immigrant visas and refugees processing. it will provide an expedient channel for secure, legal migration from europe to the united states for ukrainians who have a u.s. sponsor such as a family or an ngo. this program will be fast. it will be streamlined, and it will ensure the united states honors its commitment to go to the people of ukraine and need not go through our southern border. we are continuing to ratchet up the pressure on putin and further isolate russia on the world stage. yesterday the treasury department rolled out additional measures to crack down on the entities and individuals attempting to evade

unprecedented sanctions, not just ours but throughout the west. today i'm announcing the united states will ban russian-affiliated ships from our ports as they did in europe. that means no ship that sails under the russian flag or is owned or operated by a russian interest will be allowed to dock in a united states port or access our shores. none. none. this is yet another critical step we are taking in concert with our partners in the ukraini european union, the united kingdom to deny them the benefits they saw in the past. we don't know how long this war will last, but as we approach the two-month mark here is what we do know. putin has failed to achieve his grand ambitions on the battlefield after weeks of shelling kyiv. kyiv still stands. president zelenskyy and his democratically elected government still remain in power, and the ukrainian armed forces joined by many brave ukrainian civilians have

thwarted russia's conquest of their country. they've been bolstered from day one by an unstinting supply of weapons, ammunition, armor, intelligence, from the nations of the free world, led by us, the united states. as russia continues to grind out the military advances, and their military advances and the brutalities against ukraine, putin is banking on us losing interest. that's beeniew. you heard me say this from the beginning. he was counting on nato, european union, our allies in asia cracking, moving away. he's betting on western unity will crack. he is still betting on that. once again we will prove him wrong. we will not lessen our resolve. we will continue to stand with the brave and proud people of ukraine. we will never fail in our determination to defend freedom and oppose tyranny. it is as simple as that. again, i want to thank the american people, thank the

american people for their support of the ukrainian people. this is our responsibility, it seems to me, and we've been able to hold the whole world together in this effort. so thank you very much. thank you. >> reporter: mr. president! >> i'm going to take just one or two questions. i have plane to catch. >> reporter: what is putin claiming control over mariupol mean? how significant is that? >> well, first of all, it is questionable whether he does control mariupol. one thing for sure we know about mariupol. he should allow humanitarian corridors to let people from that steel mill and other places buried under rubble to get out, to get out. that's what any, any -- any head of state would do in such a circumstance. so there is no evidence yet that mariupol has completely fallen. >> reporter: mr. president, according to -- are you delaying -- >> no, what i'm considering is continuing to hear from my --

first of all, there's going to be an appeal by the justice department, because as a matter of principle we want to be able to be in a position where if, in fact, z fact, by the scientists that we need title 42 that we would be able to do that. there has been no decision on extending title 42. >> reporter: how long can the u.s. maintain the level and pace of this military support for ukraine? >> well, we have the capacity to do this for a long time. the question is are we going to continue to maintain the support of the international community and keep the pressure on putin to prevent him from overrunning the country, number one. number two, make sure we continue to maintain the economic sanctions which over time, and we're beginning to see

it, are devastating their economy and their ability to move forward. so the most important thing right now is maintaining the unity. so far, so good. thank you very much. >> reporter: mr. president. >> that was the white house talking about new steps to help ukraine defend itself against the russians, talking about how the russians have retreated from kyiv, leaving behind enormous atrocities and war crimes, is what he labeled what we have witnessed, the world has witnessed. yet again he talked about russia's new phase here in the east, saying we're entering a critical window in helping ukraine, mentioning the $800 million in military assistance last week he approved, saying he has approved another $800 million in heavy artillery, howitzers in addition to javelins, tactical drones which we reported on here, and also $500 million in help for the government of ukraine to sustain in the middle of the invasion from the russians. let's bring in our chief white

house correspondent cecelia, vega. the president talking about what he believes is the u.s. responsibility here to keep the allies united in helping ukraine. >> reporter: yes, and that question on how much longer the united states can continue to help bank roll this war was from our colleague here at the white house, karen travers, and it is an important one because you have the president promising more money, hopeful for more money, saying that he will ask congress for additional support to bank roll more money. he is basically signaling here that the united states wants to continue to keep helping, but it is really going to come down to this coalition of international support and keeping the coalition together. that is the big question right now, whether other countries will continue to stay on the same page with the united states. david, you mentioned that support, 800 million hlast week 800 million today, the 500

million, we're talking about more than $3 billion since the start of the war. the president, i'll give you one more number, saying $1 billion in the past two months. you are seeing the type of military aid and support to ukraine shift as the needs in that war shift, more need for long-range artillery and ammunition. that's what is going to them now, david. >> cecilia vega live at the white house. as we talk about the numbers we are aware of the dire situation on the ground in ukraine. let's get to our foreign correspondent james longman who has been talking with people leaving mariupol. james, you heard the president say despite russia's claim that mariupol has fallen, though clearly a city on the brink, he said it is not clear that the ukrainians have lost the fight for mariupol, at least not yet. you were telling us before we came on the air of the desperation, the descriptions from the people escaping that city. >> reporter: yeah, david. i mean as i talk to you now there are families reuniting all around us here in zaporizhia, which has been kind of a staging point for people getting out of

mariupol. we just saw three buses pull up packed full of people. i say 30 mostly women and children and elderly people. i spoke to one man who got off, vitaly, i man i think in his late 60s,nd i told me he was living underground for more than 20 days. the journey out, also significant. he said there was nothing left in mariupol. he was crying, talking about how awful the last month has been in that city, but also the journey out. 15, 20 checkpoints to get out of the east towards parts where ukraine is still in control, where we are here. at every single one, ritual humiliations, russian soldiers forcing them to get off the bus, give over paperwork, looking over documents, telling me to take off their clothes, checking for tattoos as it is a sign that there's an affiliation with the military. this man had his photograph and

fingerprints taken. everyone feared death there. one of the things that president biden was talking about was help for refugees leaving ukraine because so many have been displaced. more than 10 million inside the country, 5 million refugees, but so many won't be able to go home. people in mariupol won't be able to return because russia wants to control that place permanently. david. >> just a reminder why it is so important we have you and the team there on the ground. we appreciate your extraordinary reporting, james. you heard james longman there just describe what it is like for ukrainians just trying to get out of mariupol, facing multiple check points, questioning from the russians and in some cases as james just described being told to take their clothes off, checking for any kind of tattoos or allegiance to the ukrainian military. i want to bring in market thaw raddatz because you have heard the president list what is on the way and the tactical drones that you have reported on and just how extraordinary they are

given how small they are. you can carry them in a backpack, but the damage they can inflict. >> reporter: exactly, david. they're called the switchblade drones. we have already given about 700 of those switchblade drones. they are like little kamikaze drones. you load with explosives. as you said, you can put them in a backpack. they launch them and then they can travel many miles and go right for the target and explode. you can also call them off, abort the mission if they see that there are civilians in the area. so this is something the ukrainians have really wanted and say that have been very effective, david. >> our thanks to martha raddatz, to james longman, to cecilia vega this morning. president biden announcing moments ago more help from the u.s. on the way, military aid and assistance to the government there. another $800 million in military aid this week in addition to the $800 million last week. as cecelia mentioned, the $500 million to help the government of ukraine.

occurred and the bureau also listed multiple complaints from crew members that were ignored. >> if standard industry practis lowed, the oongf halyna ns anderious to joel souza would not have occurred. >> reporter: the attorney for the film's armorer, hannah gutierrez reed, who has also filed a lawsuit against the movie production saying in a statement, critically osha determined that production failed to call her in to perform her duties and inspect the firearm right before its use in the impromptu scene with alec baldwin.

now, prince harry says he's not sure he can make it because of security issues, but he did say he really wanted his children to meet his grandma, the queen. guys. >> i'm sure. all right, lama, thank you so much. and coming up next, the so-called, what did you say, summer revenge -- we're going to go on this trip, by golly. gio has secrets to score some deals. hey there, gio. >> reporter: hey there, robin. that's right. these seats are booking up fast, prices averaging $100 more than last year. so how do you find those deals? well, we're going to tell you next right here on "gma."

airline competition. >> if prices don't look good now you can generally hold off and wait, monitor very closely and snag a good fare when it comes up. >> reporter: some deals popping, austin to los angeles, $128 in may and august. newark to chicago, just 168. looking for some sun, buffalo to ft. lauderdale in may, june, july, $148. and here's a tip for international flights. if you're trying to go to paris or london, for example, maybe fly to a less popular destination first like scandinavia, for example, and then continue on your journey, robin. >> and gio, while people are excited to get back to flying, there is a new poll out showing most people actually prefer masks be required on public transportation. so, gio, remind us, how does the air filtration work on board? >> reporter: so, robin, the science actually shows that 99.9% of the particles are filtered out. that includes viruses. let me show you how that works

right here. so the air comes from here, above the overhead bin, it wraps around under the seat. it's actually filtered out under the seat and what happens is that it's refreshed every three minutes, half of it is filtered air. half of it is new air coming in from the outside and that's why jetblue and the other airlines actually say that the air here on board in an airplane while it's in flight is actually as clean as a hospital room. >> all right. >> wow. >> okay, gio, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> appreciate that explanation. coming up next, we have our "play of the day" on this friday eve. ♪ medusa lived with a hideous curse. uhh, i mean the whole turning people to stone thing was a bit of a buzz kill, right? so she ordered sunglasses with prime, one day delivery. ♪♪ clever girl. people realized she's actually hilarious once you get to know her. eugh. as if. ♪♪

saying that it is still in the public health interest to keep those masks on if you're on a plane, bus or train, but that is optional while this legal fight plays out, robin, this one could go all the way to the supreme court. >> as you said, cecilia, so confusing. all right, thank you. we're going to turn to the latest on the war in ukraine. russia ramping up its offensive in the eastern part of that country, also firing off a new long-range missile test. let's go back to our foreign correspondent james longman in ukraine. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. a huge show of force from russia. tested an internet continental ballistic missile that's capable of holding a nuclear weapon on board. vladimir putin has called the test a success. meanwhile, a lot of focus on mariupol. we've been watching reunions. meanwhile, president biden has announced a new military aid

mrs. smith" is really popular here i kind of had the ability to go where maybe reporters wouldn't be safe for them to go so i traveled to the front line with soldiers and, you know, america can't put boots on the ground for announced reasons, but it doesn't mean that american soldiers aren't coming over here so i traveled with some soldiers to the front lines who are bringing technology to ukrainian special forces and i got to sort of be there firsthand and watch them conduct an operation behind enemy lines. >> and you spoke about, you know, being able to get to the front lines and about safety. so how do you ensure your safety? is there any way to do that? >> i mean, i'm traveling with soldiers. i'm the only one in the convoy without a gun and, but honestly, you know, i just feel like it's very important for the world to see what's happening here and

jobina: we will have another update in about 30 minutes. as always, you can find us on our app and abc7news.com ♪ we have a great guest joining us now. he has it all, he has an emmy and s.a.g. award and a director guild's nomination for the hit show "ozark." >> smoking camel colored jacket. >> yes. >> it's got to be back in an hour. >> get that jacket back to the store. and now he is in the final season of the "ozark" series which is about to wrap up. jason bateman, great to see you. it's been a while since you have been here. do you remember the last time you were here? >> yeah, i think so. i feel like i remember walking out through -- you guys had like a crowd. there used to be -- there was an audience.

>> yeah. >> another question, do you remember the first time that you were here because, wait a minute, we do. 19. >> jason bateman, this is your life. >> oh, boy. >> you've got tv series, you got movies coming up. can you work college into all of this now or does -- >> not really, no. there isn't really a lot of time for high school, although i'm done with that now. i'm not a big school fan and i know that acting isn't really something to lie back on, but i will take it as far as i can and as long as it's fun. >> you know, it's so painful to see how douchey one is at a young age. can i say that in the morning? >> probably not. >> do you guys have video of

yourself at that age? it's not great, i'll bet. >> that is definitely not a stay in school ad, but it worked out well for you. >> god, he was so confident back then, wasn't he? >> he had reason to be, so let's fast forward. >> yeah. >> let's talk about "ozark." my wife and i are obsessed with this show, so are many others, the suburban chicago family moves to the ozarks and gets wrapped up with the cartels. it is stressful to watch so we had the first part of the final season. how do you think the fans will respond to this last chapter? >> well, i hope they love what this incredible writing staff has done as far as, you know, closing up a bunch of loose ends with plot and with characters and ultimately answering the question about, you know, should the byrdes get away with it and should they not, and if they do, what's the bill? you know, so we tried to create kind of a bittersweet ending with, like, is it a good ending so is it a good ending?

hopefully that's a good tease. >> we do have a little bit of a clip. let's take a look. >> got us into this. you're getting us out of this. we, we chose this together. nobody talked you into this. you were excited about this. >> you were a good salesman. >> okay. >> like a ten-hour scene. it's really cool. >> that is your character marty byrde who is a -- he works for the drug cartel, he launders money, and he's responsible for having people killed but the fans love him. why do you think that is? >> i don't know. he -- i -- any time he does something that's a little mean or a little criminal i try to make him look a little bit dumb or a little -- a little bit guilty about it. i always make the comparison

to -- i'm going to date myself here -- "all in the family," carroll o'connor played archie bunker and he always said really nasty things but he played the character in such a way where he seemed just kind of ignorant as opposed to intolerant and -- >> exactly. >> so there's sort of, marty bryde is a guy who thinks he's smarter than he is, and so if you can play a little doubt when you're doing something that's not that nice, then maybe you can have some empathy from the audience like, aw, poor guy is not smart enough to make a better decisions. >> just don't call us meatheads, okay? >> yeah. >> great podcast you have. >> thank you. "smartless." >> you interview people and we could tell. during the mechelle break, it felt like we were being interviewed. >> we'd love to have you all on the show. please. >> if we were on the program,

what would be your first question you'd want to ask us? >> oh, boy. >> i'm scared. >> how much longer will you be in the show because i'd like your job. [ laughter ] >> now that you just said that probably -- >> i'm not kidding. >> it would help your golf game. >> you would like to do this? >> oh, yeah, always. first of all, i love new york city. to have like a steady job in new york city would be a dream because i always come here and it's just like in, out, i'd love to be able to live here, have a job, frees me up by lunch. go back out to the golf course, michael. you know, it's just -- i know it seems cushy but i know you work your tail off, but i love this show and let me know when you're done with it. >> you know our producers -- they're like -- >> eenie, meenie minie, moe. >> looking at all of our contracts right now. >> thanks a lot, jason. >> your podcast, though, you took it on the road. do you think you'll probably do that again? >> well, there was -- we were sold out all over the place so

that was very, very nice -- we're shocked that people even listen to it let alone come out and buy tickets to see it because we're just three idiots on a stage talking. it's not standup, it's not music. it's not cirque du soleil. anyway, so if people want to buy tickets to come see us bs on stage, sure, we'd love to do it again and we've got -- we filmed it and so there's going to be sort of a documentary of this sort of tour of us idiots on discovery plus, i think, in a few months so maybe if people dig that we'll do it all again. >> you three are great. if you want to audition for this gig, you can throw us to break right here. >> here we go. >> where's your camera? >> america, part 2 of the final season of "ozark" premieres april 29th on netflix. period. do i say the period part? no? okay. >> keep going. the legendary magic johnson, dash, plus -- don't say the dash -- plus his surprise for

some fans, see, i've just failed. >> i still got a chance at keeping my job. let me go home and pack. i'm dan o'dowd and i approved this message. you are watching actual videos of the tesla full self driving technology as recorded by the drivers.

from turning too tightly and hitting a pylon... [ expletive ] to swerving toward a pole. jesus. watch the bicyclist on the right almost get hit before the driver takes over. sometimes it seems the tesla doesn't want the driver to take over. i'm trying. this driver had to hit the brakes when the tesla didn't understand a detour sign. ok. here it almost hit a truck. obviously, i had to take over. and here it swerves into an oncoming lane. look at that! often, the tesla doesn't know what it wants to do. what is it doing? or just doesn't know how to turn. jesus, oh my god! tesla's full self driving software for drivers and pedestrians, it's unsafe at any speed. tell congress to shut it down.

this is a tough shot for stephen curry. it's certainly not easy being on this green. we're back on "gma" with some magic. i recently had we're back now on "gma" with some magic. i recently had a chance to sit down with nba legend, the earvin "magic" johnson ahead of his new docu-series to talk about his life, legacy as a lakers legend, the challenges that he has overcome and what he wants to leave behind for the next

generation. >> magic at the other end. it went in! >> reporte lakers legend and three-time mvp earvin "magic" johnson. that era was electric. >> yes. >> it was entertainment. what are your fondest memories? >> it was an exciting time and there was a time that guys just -- they wanted to play every single night and that's what made it fun. when you think about the anticipation of the celtics versus the lakers, it's just amazing. >> here's magic. oh! >> reporter: his humble michigan beginnings, a remarkable 13-year nba career and his life to follow, the center of a new four-part docu-series. you only saw it a few weeks ago for the first time at the south by southwest festival. what took you so long? >> it's great. i love, you know, what i saw, but i'm a perfectionist. i knew if i was in the -- when they were cutting it and putting

it together, it never would have came out. >> reporter: that perfectionist spirit leading the lakers to nine nba finals and five championships. then, the world watched as the historic 1992 olympic dream team brought home the gold in barcelona. >> it was on my bucket list to play with larry bird and charles barkley was unbelievable in that game, and i'm here with my guys. we'll sacrifice our egos and all that just to win the gold medal and did it with class and style. >> except in practice i heard those practice games, oh, it was on. >> oh, it was. >> reporter: magic reflecting on the highs and lows he faced on and off the court including his life with his wife cookie. >> my wife, all the ups and downs that we had throughout michigan state and then after michigan state. three times i got engaged, broke the engagement. i want everybody to understand i didn't do everything right in life but ijust came back from those negative things.

>> because of the hiv virus that i have attained, i will have to retire from the lakers. >> when you got up there with cookie and you talked about your diagnosis, hiv, and to see you now 30 years later, what do you want your message to be to people who are facing that? >> you just talked about cookie, my kids, my parents, my brothers and sisters, my laker family, they told me, you're going to be here for a long time. when everybody else was saying, i was going to die and look where i am. meet your fears head on. when you're going through something, just know that you're not by yourself and thank god he's put me in that position where cookie and i can grow old together. >> 30 years. >> 30 years. >> reporter: also for decades magic has been blazing new trails as a business titan. you have done so much. can you list out right now all

your business ventures? >> part owner of the dodgers, we might, you know, win the world series this year. wnba sparks, lfc, esports, jlc, our infrastructure company. so when i think about all the companies, all the investments, it still trickles down, how can i help people and help the community? >> reporter: that's why we brought magic to earl monroe new renaissance basketball school which teaches the business around the sport and its unique career paths. the students here have no idea the slam dunk surprise in store. >> the beauty of it to me is when they come in with the love of basketball and take that energy to expand it to different horizons. >> if i don't make it to the nba i could do other things like commentating. >> well, hello. >> hello. >> how is everybody? i'm robin roberts, "good morning america." we have a really special guest. you ready? >> yep.

magic johnson to just walk into our class room. >> good luck. keep going. keep going and keep going. >> boy, he spent some time with those kids and they had really great questions but he revolutionized the point guard position. >> absolutely. > never knew a 6'9" point guard until that point. >> i didn't appreciate his game until he retired and saw the highlights. no, i don't like the lakers but, man, he could do everything. creme -- kareem gets hurt, he plays center. he did everything and he did everything right especially now he is a great example for how to handle your career when the game is over. >> when you think about it, he had only been married to cookie for 45 days when he made the announcement about being hiv positive. 45 days into the marriage and asked her, you know, you didn't sign on for this and she didn't hesitate to stay by his side. 30 years they've been together so -- >> also notice with those kids too, he is a cross-generational superstar. he had the success, he had the struggles but perseverance. >> he did and we have a big thanks to the earl the pearl
