Magic Johnson Steps Down as Lakers President of Basketball Operations

Who expected this!? No one! Look, he was already doing a bad job, but even then, I didn’t expect him to quit now!

Magic got the job in February of 2017. He started with dumping the 2nd pick of the 2015 N (who just brought the Nets to the playoffs after 4 years). Then, drafting a future Point Guard of his liking: Lonzo Ball. Unfortunately though, Ball has had some injuries that have taken him out of commission for weeks or months at a time so he’s never actually had time to progress or evolve into a player the Lakers want. It’s been only 2 years so I wouldn’t worry much now. But I guess Magic couldn’t wait.

Good for you, Giannis

Just when I couldn’t like this guy anymore, he finds a way!

The Oakland Raiders’ new $50 million (mildly schizophrenic?) wide receiver is still going at the Steelers, in particular, JuJu Smith-Schuster.

JuJu recently won Steeler of the Year for the 2018 season, and his former diva teammate had a problem with it when a fan brought it up on Twitter.

Okay, I am going to say this right off the bat: Dwyane Wade had a better career than Paul Pierce.

Did everyone get that? Did everyone see I wrote that? Are we good? Okay, good.

As we saw on Friday night, Paul Pierce lit a fire when he said he had a better career than Dwyane Wade. Before we go any further, I just want you to hear Pierce’s logic:
