Knicks Are ‘Only’ NBA Team He’d Consider Owning Says Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson has expressed his interest in potentially owning an NBA team, and surprisingly, the New York Knicks are the only team he would consider becoming part of as an owner or an ownership group. While he has ownership stakes in various sports teams like the Commanders, Dodgers, Sparks, and Los Angeles FC, his strong connection with the Lakers, where he became an NBA legend, has made him hesitant to explore ownership opportunities elsewhere in the league. In the past, Johnson declined ownership offers from teams such as the Warriors, Pistons, and Hawks.

Magic Johnson clarified that he hasn’t engaged in any discussions with Knicks owner James Dolan and hasn’t actively pursued ownership in the Knicks. However, he finds the idea intriguing due to the passionate and knowledgeable fan base that supports the Knicks. Johnson appreciates the energy and basketball intelligence of Knicks fans, making it a unique opportunity worth considering.

While James Dolan, who oversees the Knicks, Rangers, and MSG, has mentioned that he isn’t particularly fond of owning teams and acknowledges that fans often fancy themselves as owners or general managers, Magic Johnson’s potential involvement in the Knicks’ ownership could bring an interesting dynamic to the team’s future.
