Magic Johnson Praises Jeanie Buss Decision…
Although the Los Angeles Lakers have been sold to Dodgers owner Mark Walter, Jeanie Buss is sticking around as Governor like the last slice of pizza that always seems to survive family dinners. This decision ensures the Lakers won’t immediately dive into chaos like a cat with a laser pointer, and Magic Johnson is loving it. Johnson has unique ties with both Buss and Walter, having watched Walter run the Dodgers with the finesse of a ballet dancer in a china shop—and he believes the Lakers will benefit from that same grace.
In an interview with Broderick Turner of the L.A. Times, Magic called Walter’s decision to keep Buss a smart play, similar to keeping your best friend around during a zombie apocalypse. Jeanie’s trust in Walter is as strong as a hippo doing a cannonball in a kiddie pool; after all, Walter has led the Dodgers to several World Series wins. Magic points out that Laker fans want someone they can trust, just like trusting a vending machine to give you the right snack. With Walter’s track record, it’s no surprise Magic thinks this is a slam dunk for the Lakers’ future.
