Magic Johnson’s admiration of his LA Lakers has stopped him from thinking about owning any other NBA franchise.
The NY Knicks would be the 1 organization that could make him have 2nd thoughts.
“I think it would be very interesting,” Magic admitted. “The only franchise I would actually probably consider is the New York Knicks.”
Magic was part of a speaking engagement in the Big Apple and shared that he had already refused to be a part-time owner at the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, and Atlanta Hawks.
However, he could have a change of heart if he has the chance to own NY Knicks.
“I think because of the way supporters love basketball, you need to consider that 1, because I love coming to the Big Apple and buying ticket for the Garden and watching the Knicks compete,” Magic shared in an interview.
“Only team I’d actually probably think about is the Knicks…I love coming to New York & the Garden…fans…so passionate…smart…I’d probably never think about being part of another franchise”
