Magic Johnson’s Support for Mookie Betts and Lakers…
Magic Johnson, the legendary Lakers superstar, is not just a basketball icon; he’s also a part-owner of the L.A. Dodgers. Imagine his joy when the Dodgers did more sweeping than a janitor on caffeine, defeating the San Diego Padres in a crucial series. Johnson teamed up with venture capitalist Mark Walter, who also recently acquired a majority stake in the Lakers. Despite the Dodgers’ year being bumpier than a roller coaster on a trampoline, key player Mookie Betts finally found his groove, leading the Dodgers to victory. Johnson made sure to shower love on his social media, showcasing his pride.
Even as the Lakers change hands, with Mark Walter taking the reins from the Buss family, Jeanie Buss will still serve as Governor. Picture this as Walter throwing a grand party and still letting Jeanie DJ all the tracks. Magic Johnson loves the decision, comparing it to allowing cake and eating it too. He believes Walter’s past success with the Dodgers will translate to the Lakers. Magic, who closely knows both Walter and Buss, voiced his support, noting that their game plan should keep the Lakers championship-ready. It’s continuity over chaos, precisely what Johnson wants.
