True love, the US media dug out Magic's classic quotes about James, how many have you seen?

Magic Johnson previously said in an interview that if he cannot recruit the Lakers within two years, Superstars will take the initiative to resign. Last summer, Magic was fined $500,000 by the league for illegally recruiting George. He originally thought that George would definitely bring his talent to the West Coast this summer, but in the end, Pickle resolutely chose to stay with the Thunder, and the signing lasted for 4 years! What hurt the magician even more was that George didn't even have a meeting with him!

Fortunately, Magic Johnson's injury did not last long. Just one day later, LeBron James, the league's number one player, announced that he would join the Lakers. For a time, the city of Los Angeles once again saw the home team's hope of competing for the championship, including Kobe who was also surprised by LeBron's arrival.

Speaking of Magic Johnson and James, when the latter first entered the league, most people outside regarded Magic as James' template, not Jordan. As James succeeds step by step, Magic's love for LeBron is growing more and more.

After James joined the Lakers, the American media hoopshype also dug up the parity that Magic Johnson once had with James. After reading this, I am even more convinced that Magic truly loves LeBron!

“A lot of people often ask, ‘Who is better, Kobe or James?’ I say, ‘Are you serious? Kobe has 5 championships and James has 0, even though I like that guy a lot. I know he's going to improve his performance in the 4th quarter this year'" - Magic (October 2011)

"Who is better, the number of championship rings says it all; Jordan has 6, I have 5, Bird has 3, James has 2, and Dr. J has 1" - Magic (August 22, 2013)

"LeBron has the right to express his opinion, but I I still think his and my playing styles are similar, and that's why I like watching him play." - Magic (August 22, 2013)

"James' performance in the Finals was our The best I have ever seen, but he still lost the finals after all, so I will still rank Jordan first, but LeBron is probably already ranked second, so this will be Jordan first and James second." --Magic (June 2015)

" Laker Nation: The Lakers should call James' agent. We all know LeBron is likely to stay in Cleveland, but the Lakers should also tighten up. Follow him!" It can be seen that Magic was already calling on the Lakers to recruit James in 2016!

"James used this championship to lock up a spot among the five best superstars in history. LeBron has fulfilled his promise to bring a championship to Cleveland. If he decides to leave now, no one in Cleveland will complain about it. , there should be no more James scoundrels, he used this championship to prove that he is still the best player in the world" - Magic (June 2016)

It can be seen from the above comments It turns out that in Magic Johnson's heart, LeBron has long been a top-five player in history, and he even thought that James was second only to Jordan. As a senior, he doesn't mind putting James ahead of him at all. This is definitely a kind of true love! The reason why James chose to join the Lakers this summer was, on the one hand, for his family, and on the other hand, he believed in Magic's ability to build a championship-level team. The mutual trust between the two was the reason why James quickly decided to join the Lakers.
