Clip of the stark contrast between Magic and Jerry West

What a legend!

This is a recurring theme with Magic, I don’t wanna knock the guy Bc he’s a legend and does so well in business but dude struggles a ton to explain himself in a way that’s coherent, did he ever graduate from Michigan State anyway?

Magic is as bad as Isaiah Thomas but can talk himself into more opportunities.

Very rarely do guys who are naturally gifted make good gm’s or coaches.

Magic sucks
MJ sucks
Lebron has sucked


However average athletic cerebral players have excelled

Kerr is great
West is great

and does so well in business

You mean the actual smart people who manage his career and are the brains behind his operation have guided him correctly into good business opportunities.

You mean to say he has hired the right people

Being successful in business is all about hiring smart people to work for you.

Or the right people approached him. He probably has people that he got into contact with through his network. Most, if not all of his managers were probably brought on through your run of the mill LA cocktail parties.

the balls just got 1.5 million took from them. They lack business acumen. Magic doesn’t. That’s why he worth’s hundreds of millions.

Yeah but that guy was hired before Lonzo even got to UCLA. Way before his network had expanded, and you saw how Lonzo reached out to his newfound network to discover this guy was a thief.

Foster has served as the business manager of all of the Ball family's companies, including Big Baller Brand -- which was formed as a limited liability company in 2014. Foster developed a close friendship with the Ball family beginning around 2010, when Lonzo and Foster's son became friends as seventh-graders.

According to documents and emails reviewed by ESPN, questions about Foster's business decisions and communication were first raised last fall to Lonzo and LaVar by Lonzo's financial adviser. That adviser, Humble Lukanga of Life Line Financial Group, alleged in an October email that Lonzo's personal taxes and Big Baller's taxes could not be completed on time due to an inability to account for the whereabouts of $1.5 million.

That Humble Lukanga guy has a lot of celebrity/athlete clients, so he probably didnt take on Lonzo until he hit the NBA.

Lonzo should have the right connections to avoid something like this in the future.

Magic trading Zubac (a key piece for AD) for Mike Muscala should tell you everything

That was lebron moreso than magic. Lebron told them the players he wanted to play with him. And they going get them.

Before his sexual harassment fiasco, Isiah got a bad rap for some reason, maybe it’s because he played for Detroit and Detroit’s not a Blue Blood like Boston or LA so they became the poster children for ultraphysical play when Boston was pulling that shite years before the Bad Boys were assembled, Coastal Royalty’s a thing yo
