Magic Johnson is one of the greatest business minds of this generation and one of the greatest of all-time to ever play on the professional hardwood. It seems like whatever business venture he touches turns to gold, the restaurant business, real estate, he even became a partial owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they went to the World Series last year. Now, it looks like he has a good chance of changing the losing culture of the current Los Angeles Lakers.
The TMZ Sports cameras were able to catch up with Magic while in Los Angeles last night and was initially asked about LaVar Ball's semi-threat in regards to Lonzo Ball not re-signing with the Lakers if the team doesn't sign the other two Ball brothers in LiAngelo and LaMelo. Magic responded with, "LaVar is a good guy, he's trying to be a good father to his son, you know? I don't even look at it like that. I don't even take it like that, alright?"
Magic was also asked if he sees the LiAngelo and LaMelo on the Lakers' roster in the future to which he responded, "We'll see." Lastly, Johnson shared a laugh with the TMZ paps after being asked if he missed the theater business with Black Panther officially out now in which he admitted to.
When it comes to Magic Johnson, you never know his next move, he's a genuinely good guy and is understanding of LaVar's intentions but, he's also a cutthroat businessman. Time will only tell how the relationship between the Ball family and the Lakers organization will blossom.
