    Magic Johnson Has Totally Backstabbed The Lakers!
    He did so by talking out of school. And the only reason he did talk was to make himself look good. As always, it's Magic who comes first, everything else second.

    He says he's upset because Pelinka joked that Magic was never in the office. Johnson doesn't deny he was never in the office, only that he was upset Pelinka said so behind his back. Well if you're never in the office there's gonna be a lot of stuff said behind your back......because you're not there!

    Then he blames the Anthony Davis botched trade fiasco on the Pelicans GM. Of course, it's always someone else's fault.

    Then he got mad because he was over-ruled about firing Luke Walton mid-season. Magic was the only guy in the office who wanted Luke gone at that stage of the season and got miffed when he didn't get his way. "If I'm not having fun, I'm not gonna stick around" was his comment. So let me get this straight--firing Walton mid season (when the team is riddled with injuries) is FUN to you?!

    He could've just left and kept quiet, but instead felt the need to whine to Steven A. Smith and his co-tool Max Kellerman. Boo Hoo!

    The Lakers organization has become a laughingstock. Jeannie Buss is completely in over her head. The media will spare her because she's a woman and pointing out the ineptitude of a woman is not PC these days. Pelinka is a con man. Kurt Rambis and his wife are hanger-ons who've outlived their usefulness.

    But Magic is the one who looks the worst here after chirping to ESPN. He's completely fallen from grace and should be ashamed to ever show his face at the Staples Center again.

      Right. The guy that was dishing out assists his entire career suddenly became self centered & wanted everything for himself. Get real bro

          Lavar ball was right. But no one likes hearing the brutal truth & a man speak his mind w/ conviction. Everybody likes to get hypnotized with the media narrative because it’s easy to consume & they don’t have a single creative thought flowing through their mind. LeBron is done? Lakers franchise in shambles? Magic is the bad guy? Get penetrating real

                Now that I know Magic is the one who wanted Luke Walton fired I have much less respect for him

                I assumed he left because he DIDN'T want him fired.

                    Agreeing? He was right. Facts. Magic was a puppet & Lakers have no clear hierarchy of power. This is facts. He said it first

                    You are proving my point bro. Media makes Lavar look like a nut job & so you just follow along. The guy is a character. But behind the personality & shit talk he holds nothing back. He says what’s real. Like it or not

                      It's been pretty well known magic quit because he wasn't allowed to fire Luke. He didn't have full power and that was why he quit. The thing I find funny is someone is calling you lazy and you admit you are lazy but get mad when others say it.

                          Laker don't blame him. The HIV gets him angry sometimes when it flares up.

                            Magic was a great basketball player that's it.. He sucked and quit as a coach and now as GM.. Magic was never made to work jobs or stay in the office. You don't take the job to have fun, you take the job to make the LAKERS the best team they can be, you sit in the office day after day and work work the phones..

                            Magic should have never been hired on in the first place for the job.. Laker owners and management decisions are their biggest problems and have been for a while.. They got away from hiring the best, Like Jerry West as GM and Phil Jackson as head coach..

                            The dynasty is a disaster now, wouldn't be surprised if Lebron demands a trade now.

                              What the F are you talking about? He was correct about what?

                              He's a egomaniacal diva who didn't get his way so he quit.

                              Magic's as dumb as a mailbox. He couldn't shut his pie hole during a radio interview earlier this year and admitted to collusion with Simmons from the 76ers. Last year he was openly recruiting the Greek Freak......when he's not allowed to do so.

                              Magic thinks the world revolves around him. NBA rules are for everyone else. He was a terrible hire. Too self centered, too dumb. Almost caused a mutiny this season on the Lakers by openly dissing everyone but Lebron.

                              And now he's a snitch and a snowflake. Yikes!

                                Magic seems like the type to rush deals.... and not think things through.

                                I agree.... probably wasn't in the office more than he should of been.

                                  some people think just because you are a sports team in new york or los angeles, you're supposed to be successful... and that the lakers/knicks are now such huge disappointments because they are supposed to be able to just buy whoever they want... sports no longer automatically work that way

                                  knicks haven't won a championship in 46 years and yet they are supposed to be title contenders with no major stars? same with lakers? just bringing in an over the hill fake hate-crimer lebron and teaming him up with a bunch of bums isn't enough to do the trick

                                    Sorry bro gotta call you out here. You are all over the place. Lakers last won a ship in 09. That’s 9 full seasons ago. Since then LeBron has won 3 of those 9 ships. Been to the ship finals in 8 of those 9. The Spurs have won 2. Warriors 3. Mavs 1. Look at those numbers closely. Understand them. LeBron is a WINNER.

                                    If you are arguing that LeBron makes a team WORSE or anything by that stretch of the imagination you simply need to sit down and chill. Stop watching Skip bayless. Stop watching hoop. Just stop. Go to the park or something. Do some push ups. Get the blood flowing. Don’t be a hater bro

                                      lebron is probably the greatest basketball player i've ever seen

                                      but he's over the hill (past his prime) and without a super team he can't win shit

                                        It was a selfish act by Magic. Some say he is trying to tarnish the team to force Jeannie to sell.

                                          But what about the notion that everyone hates Pelinka, going back to his agent days, and Magic is finally the one to come out an publicly say that he's a douche.

                                          Was magic right, telling it like it is?

                                          Pelinka a known con in the basketball world, or at least known not to be truthful or straightforward.

                                          That's the rumor anyhow.

                                            Magic Johnson has always been tough to listen to. Hence, the longevity of his failed TV talk show.

                                            Earvin was whining like a little bitch in the hallways
                                            about Jeanie listening to Linda Rambis and not him.


                                            Just a little bitch with AIDs addled emotion.

                                              "Let her rip!"

                                              "Are you ready for Magic?"...

                                                  You are proving my point bro. Media makes Lavar look like a nut job & so you just follow along. The guy is a character. But behind the personality & shit talk he holds nothing back. He says what’s real. Like it or not
                                                  What’s real in his mind which is generally pretty far off reality.. nobody makes him that way, he does it every time he opens his mouth which is far too often. All dude did was have some kids w a little talent, nothing more.

                                                    What other kind of real is there? The type that everybody nods in agreement with? No. Real is selfish and personal. He’s living out his mind and for that to be anything but respected is foolish. Everyone is scared to say the wrong thing or piss people off. This guy has no fear. None. Nike won’t cut the check? Fine let’s do our own thing. Sons can’t play in NCAA? Fine let’s do our own thing. Luke Walton not making us better? penetrate Luke Walton then.

                                                    Lavar ball represents the mindset of a lot of young folk. So I can see how if you are older you can be shocked or intimidated by what he says. Because you’ve conformed. Accepted things. But us young folk are still carving out a path. Seeking truth. Creating our realities. So we can identify with someone that’s more out of the box. We welcome that and appreciate it.

                                                          Yeah jtoler it’s called charisma. Ali had it. 2pac had it. Michael Jackson. Shit Obama, Trump, JFK whoever. It’s not what you are saying but how you say it. Nobody knows shit in this world. But fake ness is easy to spot. They hate you when your fake. They hate you when you speak your truth too though. Probably more. Welcome to 2019 the world of opinions

                                                              Was magic right, telling it like it is?

                                                              Pelinka a known con in the basketball world, or at least known not to be truthful or straightforward.

                                                              That's the rumor anyhow.
                                                              I think there's probably a good amount of distrust in the NBA of Pelinka but I don't think there's a GM in the league who isn't trying to get over in every transaction they make.

                                                              Probably a lot of truth in what both sides are saying. Pelinka at least handling himself like a professional.

                                                              Local media has been destroying Magic all day. It's disappointing all around.

                                                              You know what they say though... winning is the best deodorant.

                                                                    Yup and he's gonna start getting injured now every season.. Alla Lakers when they signed an over the hill Steve Nash.. The guy was injured all the time and never played.
