Magic Johnson Gets Roasted For Flaunting Lakers’ 2020 Title Ring Despite Quitting On Team (PIC + TWEETS)

Magic Johnson’s resignation in April 2019 as the Los Angeles Lakers’ president was a huge shock. There was the fact that he was telling the media first and not his boss, Lakers owner Jeannie Buss.

Fast forward to 2020 and somehow he is still reaping some rewards from a team he suddenly quit on.

The retired Lakers legend took to Twitter on Saturday to show off the rings that were gifted to him and his wife Cookie by team owner Jeanie Buss.

Cookie and I are so blessed to receive our championship rings! Thank you to Laker owner @JeanieBuss, the Laker players and especially @KingJames because he told me he was going to bring a championship to Laker Nation. This is my 11th NBA Championship ring! pic.twitter.com/R5n7foBPuR

If he got a ring, he shouldn't be allowed to tweet and tamper. Either he's part of the organization or he isn't. https://t.co/YhNVPKKQps
