EL SEGUNDO – The following statement was issued today by Los Angeles Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss regarding the purchase of the Dodgers by Magic Johnson and partners.
“Magic Johnson is probably the most beloved sports figure in Los Angeles history,” said Buss. “In addition to being a phenomenal success on the court in leading the Lakers to five NBA Championships, he has been a success in everything else he’s become involved with, most notably his spectacular business career and also his educational campaign on behalf of HIV awareness. I’d like to congratulate Magic and his partners on their acquisition of the Dodgers and wish them the best of luck.”
