Magic’s Cheers for Dodgers and Mookie Betts…
Lakers legend Magic Johnson, forever the dazzling assist king, now mixes business adventures like they’re milkshakes. He’s co-owner of the L.A. Dodgers and partnered with Mark Walter, who’s also cozying up to buy a chunk of the Lakers. The Dodgers, fresh off their NASA-sized World Series win in 2024, faced some hiccups. With injuries popping up faster than microwave popcorn, they fought hard against the San Diego Padres in their race for NL West glory. Johnson’s social media gave a standing ovation after the Dodgers’ sweep—a cameo so rare, it happens less often than a solar eclipse.
Speaking of Magic, his thumbs-up also shines brightly for Jeanie Buss, who stays as Lakers governor despite the team switching hands faster than a hot potato. From Magic’s viewpoint, keeping Buss is like picking the last cookie—a no-brainer. Buss and Walter’s synergy smells like success to Johnson, whose connections in sports are tighter than sardines in a can. His trust in Walter’s skills, seen at the Dodgers, spotlights optimism for the Lakers’ future. And yes, this comes with Magic’s signature nod, as trusted as Santa’s naughty list.
