    Puzzle # 8158 Answer: MAGIC JOHNSON
    Image 2 - Row 1: David Copperfield's ad says the word "Magic" in plain sight

    Image 4 - Row 2: President Johnson gives the rest of the puzzle
    Image 1 - Row 1: Hollywood should give the name Los Angeles or "LA"
    Image 1 - Row 2: Great Lake's image is to give away the name "Lakers"
    Image 3 - Row 1 - He participated in Olympics in 1992 and obtained a gold medal on behalf of Men's Olympic Basketball Team
    Image 2 - Row 2 - He was honored as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history in 1996
    Image 3 - Row 2 - He was inducted twice into Basketball Hall of Fame

    Credit: @kkrish, @kaniths, @sokanasanah and @Gauri03

    Additional note: @kaniths gave a hint in her spoiler that the person is a real life Tom Hank meaning he suffered from HIV as Tom Hank acted in a film called "Philadelphia" as HIV patient. @sokanasanah gave an excellent clue as well through his comment "stop making us jump through hoops". @Gauri03 has given the clue "basket-case".

    Magic was drafted in 1979 NBA draft by the Lakers. He not only won a championship but also became NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award in his rookie season, and won 4 more championship with the Lakers during the 1980s. Johnson retired in 1991 abruptly announcing that he had contracted HIV, but returned to play in 1992 All-Star Game, winning the All-Star MVP Award. After protests from his fellow players, he retired again for 4 years; but returned in 1996, at age 36, to play 36 games for the Lakers before retiring for the third and final time. Johnson's career achievements include 3 NBA MVP Awards, 9 NBA Finals appearances, 12 All-Star games, and 10 All-NBA First and Second Team nominations.

    Who am I talking about? There are some interesting image clues that may throw the answer away pretty quickly.

    Difficulty level: Medium

    Dear Lakshmi,

    I am not sure I got your spoiler clue. But if you think the answer is someone who is connected with music, the answer may not be right.
