Week 3 post 1

This week i changed what I was going to read because that piece was boring. As I searched I wanted to go the NBA route and seen this piece on Magic Johnson stepping down as the Lakers president. It came from an actual news reporter this time named Kurt Helin. I began reading his article and it was basically saying that Magic Johnson was busy man from ‘family, a far-reaching business empire worth an estimated $700 million, charity work including HIV activism, being a spokesman for the NBA on some issues, and much more’. Helin was basically saying that he wasn’t fully committed to the job titled. Magic being a busy man held wanted to step down and he called a press conference. Ben Simmons a All-star for the Philadelphia 76ers had reached out to magic earlier in the season about being a mentor. The whole world knew about this, meanwhile it came the same time as the tampering situation with Lebron and magic for trying to get Anthony Davis to LA. Also magic getting fined $50,000 from the league for tampering with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Magic knew he couldn’t do that without getting a fine or something again. Now magic not being in the front office for it gave the path to Ben. Helin had mentioned that as “Magic may feel better, but it leaves the Lakers in chaos.”. And tells us that will the current coach Luke Walton be fired. With landing Lebron and having unexpected horrible season will the Lakers GM be promoted to build around LeBron or move on. Helin used Twitter tweets in his article to show how the league and how the organization is reacting. The way Magic said what he said in his press conference, it seems like maybe he was forced out of office?
