With the Commanders now under the leadership of new owner Josh Harris, there’s a palpable sense of change and optimism in the air.
As the team prepares for the 2023 NFL season, fans are buzzing with excitement, not just about the matches but also about the rejuvenation the franchise has witnessed. As if this wasn’t enough, Magic Johnson, the basketball legend, has joined the Commanders’ leadership team.

Magic Johnson, with his unparalleled legacy of NBA championships, recently graced the Commanders’ practice ground. His mission? To impart the essence of what makes a championship team. Johnson’s conversation with the players seemed to strike a chord, especially when it came to defining the character of a championship squad.
Recently, a video by ESPN featured Ron Rivera, the head coach of the Commanders, talking about the impact of Magic Johnson speaking to players. “It’s enlightening to see our players engaging with magic.” Their questions about championship characteristics, and Magic’s insightful answers, were eye-opening. It’s akin to the impact a wise elder has on a youngster; the words hold more weight. He elaborated on team accountability and his success story, truly cementing why he’s revered.“
Magic’s golden touch beyond the court
As the Commanders readied themselves for their faceoff against the Arizona Cardinals, Magic Johnson’s presence on the practice field became a testament to his dedication to the franchise. QB Sam Howell expressed gratitude, emphasising Johnson’s wealthy revelry throughout a couple of championship groups. Receiver Terry McLaurin’s desire to have Johnson as his mentor indicates Magic’s influence.
McLaurin praised Magic’s power and ardour, mentioning that Magic embodies success, no longer just as a sportsman but as a businessman. His adventure, filled with stories of willpower and triumph, is something I yearn to understand extra deeply. Yet, amidst a majority of these interactions, one message became clear: prevailing in championships requires more than simply skill; it also demands teamwork.
