Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson is quite a renowned team owner. It’s a known fact that the 64-year-old is stern when it comes to that side of the job. However this time, the 5-time champion took a step further to share a harsh criticism on his team, that too on social media. Unfortunately for LeBron James, who was counting on Magic’s team to make the King‘s prediction come true, the $6 billion franchise betrayed expectations in a blowout loss.
Well now, the Johnson-led Washington Commanders are facing the wrath from all sides, even from their owner. What harsh take did Johnson share?

The Commanders were 2-2 before their game against the Chicago Bears today. The Bears, who were on a four-game losing streak, took full advantage of the Commanders to get their first win of the season, beating Magic’s side 20-40 on their home turf. Now, Johnson’s team is 2-3 and will need a lot of patchwork to sustain the heat in the NFC East.
Magic Johnson has been an honest reviewer of the game on his Twitter. When his team failed today, the 3-time MVP did not hesitate to blast them.
Johnson shared, “Tonight the Commanders played with no intensity or fire. We didn’t compete in the first half and got down 27-3 heading into halftime.”

The Commanders, led by Sam Howell, tried their shot at a 24-point comeback. Sadly they still lost by a 20-point difference nonetheless, which fueled their owner. Johnson further shared his frustration, “It was too big of a hole to climb out of and that is why we ended up losing 40-20.”
