Lakers Legend Magic Johnson Announces Signing of Multi-Time World Champion
The Los Angeles Lakers have risen in the Western Conference rankings, securing a spot among the top five teams. This surge has been fueled by the addition and strong performances of former Mavericks star Luka Doncic, elevating the franchise’s championship hopes.
Earvin “Magic” Johnson, the Lakers’ all-time leader in assists, assists per game, and triple doubles, is a well-known figure at Lakers games. The East Lansing, Michigan native has five NBA championships to his name.
On Friday, Johnson, who boasts a net worth of $1.6 billion as a successful entrepreneur, took to his X account to announce that one of his brands had signed a multiple-time world champion from another competitive realm.
“I’m thrilled to see my @TeamLiquid bring the GOAT of Chess, @MagnusCarlsen, into their group of champions!” Johnson posted on X.
