David Ortiz Puts Magic Johnson On The Spot With Funny LeBron James-Lakers Question
This past offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers were fined $500,000 for tampering with Paul George. This was mainly because of Lakers president Magic Johnson, who more or less tried to publicly convince George to join the Lakers.
Magic Johnson not only is the Lakers’ president, but also a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, as he joined David Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez and at FS1 before Game 2 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium.
David Ortiz asked Magic about bringing LeBron to the Lakers in a funny exchange:
Ortiz: “This between you and me, nobody’s watching, nobody needs to know, what is it gonna take to bring LeBron to the Lakers? I’ll pay the fine! I’ll pay the fine! I’ll pay the fine!”
Magic: “I’ll be in trouble! I’ll be in trouble! You know, we’re trying to build a championship team with the Lakers and hopefully next summer, we’ll be in line to sign free agents. That’s how you do it!”
"What's it gonna take to bring LeBron to the Lakers?" —@davidortiz with the full-court press on @MagicJohnson 😂😂😂
