Magic Johnson has handed on NBA possession alternatives up to now with the Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks and Detroit Pistons, however the New York Knicks are the only team he would consider purchasing into, Johnson mentioned in an interview with The Associated Press.Â
“I think it would be intriguing,” Johnson mentioned of having into NBA possession. “The only team I would actually probably think about is the New York Knicks.”
Johnson, who says thus far his loyalty to the Lakers has stored him out of the possession sport with different groups, defined it like this:
“I think because of the way fans love basketball you might have to think about that one, because I love coming to New York and going to the Garden and watching the Knicks play. I love being with fans who are so passionate about their team and the Knick fans are, and they’re smart. They’re smart basketball fans and so that one I would have to think about. I think that other than that, I would probably never think about ever being a part of another franchise.”
Johnson says no possession dialogue has ever taken position with present Knicks proprietor James Dolan. It’s simply a hypothetical.Â
“That one you would really have to think about, in terms of being a minority owner of that team,” Johnson mentioned of the Knicks. “But other than that, I would just stay with the Lakers and even with my role now, just being a fan, I’m happy just doing that with the Lakers because, again, I bleed purple and gold.”
