Lakers News: Stephen A. Smith Targeting Magic Johnson For ESPN NBA Pregame Show

Perhaps no current or former NBA player has had more success in their career off the floor than Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson.

In addition to owning businesses and being an entrepreneur, Johnson has also remained involved in sports by being a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers as well as coaching in the Lakers organization. Most recently, Johnson also took on a front-office role as president of basketball operations of the Lakers before stepping down at the conclusion of the 2019 season.

While Johnson’s tenure as leader of the front office was mostly criticized, he did have some success, namely luring the best player in the NBA, LeBron James, to the Lakers.
