Despite Calling Magic Johnson ‘Irrelevant’, 6ft 7 NBA Veteran Receives Lakers Legend’s Undying Loyalty Through 1 Gesture

Magic Johnson is one of the greatest basketball minds ever. Having played in the NBA for 13 years as a leader on the court, Magic knows a lot of things about the sport that people rarely think about. Magic has a very likable personality. Whether it be from the NBA or even before that, Magic has made many friends along the way. This friendship became crucial for one of his friends as the Laker legend chose him over everyone else when asked for the same favor.

As the NBA season is back with new stories and players, everyone wanted to have Magic Johnson on their shows, but he decided to go with his friend, whom he cares about.

Magic Johnson showed his loyalty

Magic Johnson recently joined SiriusXM‘s NBA Radio with NBA legend, Eddie Johnson. They talked about the NBA season and their hopes for the year. Both gave their takes on what they expected for the year.

As the show was winding down, Magic revealed that it was his loyalty to Eddie that made him decide to join the show. His decision made others mad, but he still chose his friend. They both have played together in one summer in high school.

Magic said, “I love Eddie. That’s my man, and will always be my man…Everybody got all these shows and they have been hounding me like crazy…I’m only doing one and that’s Eddie Johnson“.

Magic ended by saying that anytime Eddie wants him on the show, he will be there.

Eddie once dissed Magic for LeBron James

Two years ago, the Los Angeles Lakers were struggling, and people were blaming 37-year-old Lebron James for not carrying his team. Eddie did not like all the slander that LeBron was receiving and decided to share his thoughts on social media.

He posted, “It’s amazing how LeBron, at almost 37 is still being ripped for struggling, when he has an AD in his prime and not living up to expectations. Magic, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem, and Jordan were no longer relevant at 37. That lets you know how great LBJ is. ‘Keep it moving’.”

The statement is no longer true as Tim Duncan won his 5th ring at the age of 38, but it is true that no one was as dominant as LeBron James at 37. But to compare Magic Johnson to LeBron when we have not seen Magic at 37 has left many fans upset.
