With the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select: Josh Jackson. Pow! Storming out of the gate of his debut season, like it’s 2015 and he’s American Pharoah. Los Angeles Lakers President Magic Johnson strikes his first major splash of the offseason by taking Josh Jackson over Lonzo Ball.
Normally, when Presidents begin their new campaign, a common phrase heard is “roll up our sleeves”. When Magic Johnson came to the Lakers, he made no such remarks regarding his sleeves. For Magic, rolling up his sleeves would reveal his trick.
Every great magician knows to never reveal their trick, but what many magicians don’t tell you is the process of their trick.
