Magic Johnson buys stake in NWSL’s Spirit: ‘I got 14 world championships. I need 15’

Magic Johnson wants to win another championship.

He won five with the Showtime Lakers and another nine as a partial owner for LAFC, the Dodgers, the Sparks, the Lakers (five times before selling his stake in the team in 2010) and esports’ Team Liquid.

So could another — the Washington Spirit.
