Despite all that went on during the 2018-19 NBA season, former president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and Los Angeles Lakers controlling owner Jeanie Buss have maintained a familial relationship.
Johnson has outwardly supported Buss throughout the entire 2019-20 season, and has been one of the Lakers’ most vocal fans on social media. Buss made headlines when she posted a racist and sexist letter sent to her by a Lakers fan.
The letter contained several racial slurs and was extremely crude and hateful, but Buss felt a responsibility to post it to show just how prevalent these issues remain today.
