Chicago Tribune - Magic Johnson envisions a situation in the future where he would purchase an NBA franchise with his friends Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.
"If the right franchise became available, trust me, I'd make the calls," Johnson said.
"What better situation for us than to do it together?"
In this scenario, Jordan would run the basketball operations, while Magic would be in charge of the business side of things and Charles would be Charles.
"Charles could handle the sponsors and dealing with people," Johnson said in an off-the-air conversation while working as an analyst for TNT this week.
"And if we needed somebody to talk harsh to the team, he could do that."
"If I owned a team, I'd have to get somebody with Michael's skills to run the basketball side," Johnson said. "If he bought into a team, he would have to find somebody like me to make the company profitable. It would be the perfect marriage."
"What a message it would send," Johnson said.
"It would be unbelievable. I really think we can do it."
WOW! If this gonna happen.. I wonder what the roster might be like :razz:
How you guys take this thought?
