most recently Magic Johnson (the greatest to ever step on the bball court) has sold his share of the Lakers. A move considered strictly on a business perspective since he plans to still stay with the team as an adviser. This column entertains the idea that magic should buy the dodgers who have been problemed with the ridiculous divorce case between owner(s) frank and jaimie McCourt. I thought this was an interesting piece in how the writer approached the possibility. Early on he mentions the possibility of him buying the pistons but is quick to write that his agent has put down any speculation of him doing so and follows the idea of him becoming a majority owner of the lakers but mentions that Jerry Buss would rather pass the team down to his "kids". he finishes the column by writing of magic's business enterprise and how he would be able to bring forth a more thriving business around it and be able to bring the dodger's more success than the fucking mccourts. i wouldve never seen magic being an owner of the dodgers but with the way the writer describes the possibility the more intrigued i am with it. i would love for magic to buy the team and i believe he will be a great owner. "Think of the cultural significance: Johnson could become the first black owner in Major League Baseball of the team that had the first black player." i hope magic has read this column, is entertaining the idea, and is gonna make it happen.
I like how the writer approached this as well. Starting off with the situation with the dodgers and progressively going through Magic's business options. Ultimately, Magic and the Dodgers arriving "face to face." I would have never thought of this happening either until, not reading this column, but watching Mike and Mike in the Morning.
ReplyDeleteAgreed...the writer moved through the phases at which magic could go very well
