After Getting a Shoutout from Magic Johnson, Commanders RB Has a Thrilling Business Proposal for New Boss

Magic Johnson has been on cloud nine since the new NFL season began. The newly-minted owner of an NFL team has been enjoying the Washington Commanders’ winning-streak with pride. It’s a testimony of not only the energy booster the Los Angeles Lakers legend is, but also of his sharp business acumen. His astute sense is also popular among his new team who are keen to take advantage.

The Commanders running back stopped by The Rich Eisen Show recently to talk about the NBA legend running their team. The footballer already landed in Magic’s good graces recently. Now he might have a one-of-a-kind business proposal for him.

Magic Johnson’s player has a business pitch for him

The Washington Commanders‘ running back, Brian Robinson Jr. is known for a larger-than-life fashion statement. Quite literally.His ‘big hat’ fashion comes up in most media appearances, and it came up while he was on The Rich Eisen Show too. Eisen of course had to ask Robinson what’s it like to have a sports icon at the top of team management. By the young footballer’s account, the team is starstruck.

Calling him a “very cool guy,” he said Magic is bringing the championship-winning mindset from his NBA days to the gridiron.

Magic is apparently helping footballers like Robinson to channel the mindsets of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

The interviewer and the athlete later praised Johnson’s business acumen, calling it “second to none.” That’s when the host suggested that Robinson attempt a partnership with the new head honcho to make big hats a thing.

“I have not got a chance to talk about big hats,” Robinson said about bringing up the topic to businessman Earvin “Magic” Johnson.

Brian Robinson wore an oversized baseball cap after the Commanders won a game last year. The hat was made by a friend’s company he was promoting. Robinson kickstarted the phenomenon that caused big hat sales to surge across the country.

Eisen suggested that Robinson should make a Shark Tank-style pitch to Magic to further grow the big hat craze. Interestingly, the hat-making company did pitch on the show which further boosted sales. Magic Johnson has an eye for business. So perhaps, Eisen and Robinson are on to something. Besides, the trendsetter has left a good impression on the new team owners.

Magic Johnson shows appreciation for his players

When the Commanders dominated the Denver Broncos, Johnson was on X, giving Robinson a shoutout when he ran for two. The Washington Commanders are facing off against the Buffalo Bills on September 24. Another opportunity for Brian Robinson to flaunt a big hat in front of Magic.

The noteworthy philanthropist has done a lot for the Washington DC community.

He’s boosted business over the years through his establishments like the many Starbucks franchises here. When he joined the ownership group of the Commanders, he was ecstatic to do more for the community. And the Commanders are already flourishing under the Magic effect.
