I disliked Magic as a player,(he got way 2 much credit 4 those titles) but as a man, he is really showing folks what time it is. Love it.



He deserved the credit Gray, without him they wouldn't have won those five titles

C'mon man. Honestly,remember the 79 Supersonics championship team.
There is no one in their right mind who didn't think they were not
going to repeat with the talent they had on that team. Then some
2nd bannana lol named Magic Johnson came in with the Lakers and
ended that and any talks of a Sonics dynasty right away. The Lakers
were good before Magic but Magic made them great.

Magic Johnson, the 50-year-old former LA Lakers basketball star, is in discussions to buy Johnson Publishing Co., which prints Ebony and Jet magazines and owns an archive of powerful photographs documenting black like in America.

Although no final agreements have been announced, “there have been discussions,” Eric Holoman, president of Magic Johnson Enterprises, which already works with Starbucks Corp., 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide Inc. and T.G.I. Friday’s Inc., told Bloomberg.

Ad revenue at Ebony, one of the oldest and most successful black magazines, declined 38% to $35.5 million in 2009, according to Publishers Information Bureau. So Johnson surely won't be making millions more if he acquires the company. But bringing Ebony into the fold will help boost his image as a monied mogul willing to scoop up an ailing magazine that has powerful, cultural significance.


Doesnt he own Fatburger?




falloff I love how they say "fatburger" when prepping an order.


FFFAAAATTT BBUUURRGGER!!!!

Co-sign, Kareem was great but Magic put that Laker team over the top, he was the leader hands down

I wonder what his vision is.
I hope it's more cutting edge and news driven.
What black america needs is a publication without sacred cows.
One that doesn't throw almost unquestion support to celebrities who just happen to be African American or claim to support African American interest.
No More Haters on the Internet.

He ought to start fresh rather than keep with the same ole same ole. He will need a new publishing/marketing/journalistic team for that rather than keep the same people in the same positions.

That's what Monroe and the Lowes were supposed to be, an infusion of new talent schooled in hard journalism at white publications. The Michael Jackson tribute "interview" done after Monroe took over showed just how weak the new approach was going to be.

Gosh, I miss Emerge.
