The Los Angeles Lakers have already been fined twice for tampering since Magic Johnson took over the team, although one of the times wasn’t Magic’s fault, and the other time didn’t really seem to be tampering, given that he said Giannis Antetokounmpo would win a championship “in Milwaukee.”
Still, those two incidents at the very least mean the league is watching Johnson and the Lakers closely, and one of the most endearing things about Johnson is how he hasn’t let that deter him from letting Lakers exceptionalism flow through his every interview.
