LeBron James breaks silence on Magic Johnson resignation

When Magic Johnson stepped down from his position as president of basketball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, it came as a surprise to everyone, including the team’s lone superstar LeBron James.

For the first time since Johnson’s shocking resignation, James broke his silence on Saturday on an episode of his HBO talk show “The Shop”:

“Between my stretching sessions, my right hand comes up to me and say, ‘Magic just stepped down.’ And I’m like, ‘Man, get the f--- out of my face, you’re bulls----ng me.’ I check my phone, I look at it, the s--t happened.
