Lakers legend Magic Johnson may be on vacation but he is still very busy
Magic, who has been retired for over 20 years now, is still a very busy man. He is a very successful businessman and has many companies to take care of. A few years ago, he was appointed the president of basketball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was instrumental in the Lakers reducing the salary cap and he acquired several star young talents like Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma.
Johnson was also instrumental in getting LeBron James to Los Angeles. Even though they couldn’t reach the playoffs in 2019, Magic left the team due to differences. Regardless, the young talent he acquired was needed to secure Anthony Davis. The Lakers won the title the year they traded for Anthony Davis.
