Hours After LeBron James and Anthony Davis Suffer Heartbreak From Nikola Jokic, Lakers Legend Magic Johnson Issues Public Apology

The Los Angeles Lakers have seen their fortunes fluctuate throughout the season. Despite starting the year with a record of 2-10, the team made a remarkable comeback. After vanquishing the No.2 seed and the defending champions, LA’s success story has been disrupted by Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets as they broke the hearts of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers with a pivotal win on Saturday. Staring at a series sweep, the Lakers will need a miracle to recover from the 0-3 deficit. After boastfully predicting LA’s chances ahead of the Conference Finals, Magic Johnson issued a public apology following the Game 3 disappointment.

The Nuggets have managed to capture the attention of everyone. Despite being the No.1 seed in the West, very few people gave them a chance of overcoming LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry. However, they have proved everyone wrong, including Magic.

Lakers legend Magic Johnson makes disappointing admission

Magic Johnson is a devoted supporter of the Lakers. During his impressive 13-year career with the Lakers, Johnson led the team to unprecedented success, securing 5 NBA championships. Johnson’s influence extended beyond his playing days, as he served as a head coach for the Lakers and later assumed the role of president of operations. Notably, he played a pivotal role in bringing LeBron James to the team during his tenure.

Johnson continues to show his unwavering support for the Lakers by attending games and expressing his enthusiasm through social media posts. However, after Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, the 3x NBA MVP apologized to the Denver Nuggets for doubting their caliber.

Johnson tweeted “I have to apologize to the Denver Nuggets, they proved that they are a better and more talented team in their victory over the Lakers tonight. They put both teams in the Eastern Conference on notice that they are committed to winning a championship!”
