you remember that he coached the lakers and also had 'the magic hour' talk show

but i'm also happy for him. i hope he continues to do well but if he's an owner of another franchise, i expect good trades to float the lakers way.


Yes I agree just like Mike Jordan he is not the best evaluator of talent. He has no experience has gm or front office so there will be learning curve and he will make mistakes on the way.

Exactly. Magic's entire business has pretty much been establishing franchises in poor black areas.

I don't understand your point.

Not everyone in this world is going to succeed in business. Not everyone in this world is going to have self control when you have millions of dollars.

You don't know until you're there.

I once tasted a minor fraction (the size of an atom) of their success, and I squandered it away the first time around. Lesson learned, but I can't help but regret that a little.

magic's already deity status in LA but if he took his money and makes what he wants happen.........holy ish

LOS ANGELES -- Magic Johnson told the Los Angeles Times that he would be interested in bringing an NFL team back to L.A., but he hasn't had any talks with the league.

Johnson recently sold his small ownership stake in the Lakers to Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong and sold his Starbucks outlets back to the company, fueling speculation about his future.

The Hall of Famer told the newspaper he has no plans to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers or purchase a stake of the Golden State Warriors or Detroit Pistons. He says he talked to the Warriors, but nothing came of it.

The 51-year-old Johnson says he "really, really wants the NFL to come back to L.A." but hasn't had any conversations with the league.

A spokeswoman for the NBA great told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Johnson wasn't available.

If Magic is selling all his stuff, it's a sign that the economy is going to tumble even more...

^Wow, way to be a downer. :P

If Magic helps bring the NFL back to Los Angeles, I will worship his statue every chance I get when I'm at the Staples Center.

We should redistribute his wealth and give it to the poor.

He earned that money and is self made but he should be taxed up the you know what so poor people who don't try as hard can have a taste......

Seriously...lets do it!

His first move should be to forfeit the 1989 championship to the Lakers.

Then Magic would have 6 rings.
