Magic's Balancing Act: Reaves Praise, Netflix Deal Fallout, and MSU's Historic Gift
Magic Johnson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Magic Johnson has kept remarkably busy this week, balancing his roles as a business titan and savvy NBA commentator. According to Athlon Sports, on Thursday the legendary point guard used his platform to spotlight Austin Reaves after the Lakers defeated the Toronto Raptors 123-120, posting that "Austin Reaves continued his dominant play this season scoring 44 points with 11 assists to lead the Lakers to a 123-120 victory over the Toronto Raptors! Reaves should definitely be playing in the NBA All-Star game this year!" His endorsement carries significant weight as the former five-time champion isn't shy about leveraging his credibility to champion young talent. This comes as Reaves has been putting together a career year, averaging over 28 points per game, making Johnson's public backing well-timed.
But the real bombshell came on social media when Magic Johnson congratulated Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandon on the streaming giant's massive 82.7 billion dollar enterprise-value acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery's TV, film, and streaming assets. Per Essentially Sports, Johnson tweeted that he wanted to congratulate his longtime friend, writing "Cookie and I have been friends with Ted and Nicole a very long time and can't say enough about how proud we are of Ted's illustrious business career!" The message sparked immediate backlash from fans who questioned the move, particularly given that Johnson's own Magic Johnson Enterprises owns a significant theater business portfolio. Critics pointed out the potential contradiction, with some suggesting the deal could hurt the theatrical exhibition industry that Johnson has invested billions into developing.
Meanwhile, on the Michigan State front, Magic Johnson has been actively promoting his alma mater's ambitious fundraising campaign. According to ESPN, Michigan State just received a historic 401 million dollar gift from Greg and Dawn Williams, with 290 million earmarked for the athletic department's 1 billion dollar campaign that was specifically launched this week and promoted by Johnson. The donation represents one of the largest athletic contributions in college sports history and comes at a critical time as Michigan State reshapes its football program.
