Magic, who has been retired for over 20 years now, is still a very busy man. He is a very successful businessman and has many businesses to run. A few years ago, he was named president of basketball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was instrumental in lowering the Lakers salary cap and he acquired several young star talents like Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma.
Johnson was also instrumental in bringing LeBron James to Los Angeles. Even though they couldn’t reach the playoffs in 2019, Magic left the team due to differences. Either way, the young talent he acquired was needed to secure Anthony Davis. The Lakers won the title the year they traded for Anthony Davis.
