Summary

In signing LeBron James to a four-year contract, Magic Johnson has validated all of the hope, faith, and expectations placed at his feet by Lakers fans who were hoping the Johnson could once again bring Showtime to the Lakers, even from an office overlooking the court rather than sprinting up and down it. So this episode, we took a look back at the first instance of the Lakers putting their future into Earvin's hands; specifically, we examine from a historical perspective Dr. Jerry Buss offering Magic a lifetime contract. We discuss Buss's motivations, Magic's motivations, and a brief rant or two. Hope you enjoy this short episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
