It might seem impossible to imagine now, but there was a time when Magic Johnson was afraid of Los Angeles.
Johnson is not only arguably the most beloved player to ever suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers, but is now the team’s president of basketball operations. He also boasts a nearly 100 percent approval rating in L.A. after signing LeBron James in free agency this summer.
Plus, given Johnson’s famously outgoing and gregarious personality, it’s hard to imagine him ever not wanting to go out and hobnob around the city.
