Magic Johnson living the dream—Is this the ultimate retirement goal for NBA legends?

If anyone knows how to vacation right, it’s Magic Johnson. The 12x All-Star’s vacation is nearly as popular among some fans as his gameplay! This may seem to be an overstatement, but there are certain fans that actually wait to get a peek into his vacation life. And the former LA Lakers star does not shy away in sharing regular updates with his followers through his social media handles.

The most recent update in this has been more people joining Johnson and his group on their present vacation. “Our family has arrived safely and joined us on the boat! Cookie and I are thrilled to see our kids Andre, EJ, and Elisa, daughter-in-law Lisa, and grandkids Gigi and Avery! Looking forward to the quality time and memories ahead!” he wrote in the caption. Magic’s eldest son Andre and his wife were earlier spotted in Spain, seemingly on their own family get away.

And now the entire Johnson family has united with Magic and Cookie in Monte Carlo. Notably, the vacation had started with just the 5x NBA champ and his wife with their friends — LaTanya Jackson, Samuel L. Jackson, John Palmer and Vicki Palmer — in Barcelona, Spain.

However, by the time the group reached Ibiza, even Cedric the Entertainer and his wife Lorna had joined in. There were speculations that Michael Jordan may as well join in as he too was earlier spotted in Ibiza. And the Bulls legend has, on earlier occasions, been with this bunch on vacations. In fact, there is a popular instance of MJ and Buck completely cutting loose on the budget on a vacation.

The group was on a luxury yacht cruise journeying through France, Italy, Greece, and Montenegro, ending the journey in Croatia. As per the reports, the yacht’s weekly charter prices were something around $1.25 million. And the group spent 6 weeks on it, spending nearly $7.5 million on the trip. But it seems MJ specifically reserved this year for his wife Yvette Prietto, and his daughters. But Johnson’s vacation has been no less exciting either way.

It is worth mentioning the 5x NBA champ still lays a constant focus on his health and fitness, as evident from his physique that he flaunted during jet skiing. And to maintain this, Johnson has included regular workout sessions even on his vacation.

He shared multiple instances of his workout, including one at Singular Gym in Puerto Portals, Spain and yet another on the boat itself. Apart from this, the group of friends also celebrated the 4th of July, also on the boat itself. “A great day celebrating the Fourth of July with our friends overseas!” he wrote in the caption to the post featuring the moments of celebration.

Yet another interesting highlight from this vacation came as the group dressed up for an 80s-themed party. And now that more members have joined in the vacation, it is most likely that we will get more of these interesting highlights.
