Yah but at least Magic left way earlier than Phil. Phil still the ****tiest one of all.

This is a surprise. I switched to NBA TV to hopefully see game action of Memphis at Detroit and I see this. I'm stunned Magic Johnson is stepping down. Maybe he sees a not so good free agency for The Lakers this summer.

I do think there might be something more to this though.

No need to spend so much money with Space Jam 2. Just make a Lakers reality show.

Magic saw the writing on the wall, no one wants to come to play with LeBron. Pelinka should be gone too now and luke walton will also get the axe, time to start fresh for next year.

Can't say that I'm surprised, something had to be done over there and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Lol - omg did Jeannie really not know he was quitting and he did an impromptu press conference to tell her? No way that’s what really happened - has to be staged. No NBA team is that dysfunctional - just can’t be,,,

Is there a video of his quitting speech?

Yup he said clear as day that he could not tell her in person he was quitting.

If you are Lebron you have to be thinking wtf and why did I not sign a 1+1 option contract

I think this gives Magic more freedom to tamper.
