Magic Johnson's Surprising Reaction to Lakers Series Cancellation: "I Never Watched"
Magic Johnson responds to the cancellation of the HBO series "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty," stating that he never watched it because nobody can tell the Lakers story like it needs to be told. He expresses his belief that the Showtime story, including the team's success and the Laker girls with Paula Abdul, is unbelievable and cannot be accurately portrayed in a fictional series. However, Johnson remains open to the idea of a narrative format for his own life story, potentially with the involvement of friends Denzel Washington and Samuel L. Jackson. In addition to his entertainment ventures, Johnson is heavily involved in various business interests, including co-ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Commanders.
