Lakers News: Magic Johnson Calls Jeanie Buss ‘One Of Best Owners’ In Sports

Magic Johnson has been involved in his fair share of drama when it comes to his relationship with the Los Angeles Lakers.

After abruptly resigning from his role as president of basketball operations without informing owner Jeanie Buss beforehand, many questioned if the two had a falling out that led to that decision.

However, Johnson has long referred to Buss as his “sister,” saying that he only avoided telling her first because he would’ve been too emotional if he chose that route. He has also spent the last two years backtracking his comments about vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka, giving Buss and the entire Lakers front office the credit for their 2020 NBA championship.
