As a Laker fan it's sad to see that even Magic is on this bs. This organization has become a clownshow just to appease a 39 year old. Jeannie Buss has thrown the legacy of her dad down the drain.

[@user-zi1fu7cw6p]

Magic Johnson should be held totally for what a circus Lakers Team has become. Don't forget it was him who brought LBJ to Lakers. It's like you are living your worst nightmare of what this Team has become a laughing stock.

[@johnjohnson8364]

I think LEBALCO is sleeping with genie and the OTHER white girl he has rubbing on him at that game 😮....sad part was if you rewatch it u can CLEARLY SEE he was with it all 😢....savana went on line and did at least two interviews talking about their future or what would you do if you divorced 🙏 after the fact

[@lightningjuniorsuper]

@@johnjohnson8364you’ll need proof not word of mouth when it comes to that accusation Also it was clearly Jennie and that other chick who had their hands on him

[@lightningjuniorsuper]

Also your organization was a clown show before Lebron and still is because of the powers at the top

[@user-dq8ik9ce1v]

I agree. This is the year that I found out that Shaq, Barkley, Stephen A, Broussard, and now even Magic still follow the script given to them. Not one of them is their own man. Bought and sold.

Lakers drafting Bronny is why the WNBA should have picked CClark for the USA team….even though I don’t like what LA did…they understand business WNBA doesn’t

[@m3xic4n91]

Actually, you have a point there. This Bronny draft can be looked as more of a marketing strategy like CC being in the USA team but the only thing is the USA team are still gonna win versus the Lakers are gonna lose.

Knicks drafted thanasis when Giannis was avg. 6pgg in 2013-14 season way before he was MVP caliber player! thanasis actually earned getting drafted thats the point of all of this! Thanasis made it to the bucks so they could resign giannis well after he became MVP greek freak! this is just facts stop spreading false information because you lazy and listen to goofy narratives!

[@patek9789]

Him getting drafted wasn’t nepotism he was actually nasty when he played for Filathilitikos.

[@high_IQ98]

So....why is he still in there? 🤔 ​@@patek9789 So many players deserve that spot that didn't get picked before him for some strange reason or another....but that 55 pick? That spot was special and so many 55th picks are superstars in the league, I as a long time Lakers fan, is in an outrage that there were so so many players to choose from didn't get picked and may not never, ever have an opportunity to be an NBA player because of that one special pick. That's another reason MJ the goat, he wouldn't have picked his son, wouldn't even look his way draft night.

[@iSnags]

As a black man I am happy with the Bronny James getting drafted but as I told my nephews he isn’t gonna get time out there , I watched his games at USC and he sucked , he just came back from the heart thing not even a year and a half ago , he got drafted in the 2nd round at 55 ….. I want him to do good but there are players that are better than him now

[@therealdonaldtrump1646]

If Lebron is 6'1" then hes Bronny James. Same skill. Different physical gifts.

Never heard anybody complain about a 55th pick. Ever. Year after year these guys you claim are better and should be picked get drafted and go nowhere, all of a sudden the 55th pick is Valuable. lol
