Magic Johnson is not used to losing. He was a multiple-time basketball champion with the Showtime Los Angeles Lakers. He has followed this trend throughout the business world, including his achievements as owner or part-owner of sporting franchises.
The Washington Commanders are one of them. Johnson was part of Josh Harris's ownership group that wrestled the organization from Dan Snyder's grasp. He legitimized the project and provided the players with a strong support system whenever they needed it. Unsurprisingly, the progress was immediate.
Washington went from having the No. 2 pick to reaching the NFC Championship game in one year.
