Lakers podcast: Magic’s back and what it means in franchise history

Nearly 40 years ago, Magic Johnson was given the reigns of the Los Angeles Lakers at the team’s point guard. The franchise once again has handed him the reigns, only this time as President of Basketball Operations as he attempts to restore the Lakers to their former glory.

Mark Medina and Bill Oram of the Southern California News Group examine the early returns on Magic, including his decision not to break up the Lakers’ young core of players. Hear from Magic, Lakers head coach Luke Walton, and two of the young stars, D’Angelo Russell and Brandon Ingram.
