Watch Magic’s interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Last year, Magic Johnson was criticized for publicly stating on social media, that his Los Angeles Lakers should tank this season. With Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Julius Randle all set to miss the entire year, he doesn’t have to dream of the purple and gold getting a high draft pick anymore. In a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Magic tried to justify his comments saying “If you’re going to be bad, be bad all the way.”
While the team isn’t tanking at all, he’s looking to the future with the team possibly drafting stand-out Duke Blue Devil player, Jahlil Okafor. Watch more from the interview above, including Johnson discussing his first ever sit-down with Kobe Bryant away from the court only a few years ago.
