For most, the news of Magic Johnson’s re-hiring by the Los Angeles Lakers probably came across as a public relations move by a franchise that desperately needs to clean up its image. Recent reports, however, paint a very different picture, according to Bleacher Report’s Kevin Ding.
Per Ding, Jim wasn’t even contacted about the move until right before it happened, and far too late for him to say anything about it.
Johnson went on Spectrum SportsNet Wednesday night and did not sound like someone ready to play a figurehead in ways he has with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
