Magic and the Boys (in Blue): Does He Practically Own the Whole Team?
Ah, Magic Johnson. The name synonymous with no-look passes, championship swagger, and...owning a bit of the Los Angeles Dodgers? That's right, folks! Turns out our legendary Lakers point guard has his fingers in more than just the world of basketball. But how much of Dodger Stadium does he actually control? Let's grab some popcorn, settle in, and answer the burning question: Does Magic Johnson practically own the Los Angeles Dodgers?
Hold on There, Sparky! Not Quite an LA Dodgers Kingpin
While Magic might be a legend on the court, his ownership stake in the Dodgers is a cool 2.3%. That means he doesn't get to boss everyone around and tell them to "win it all...no look!" (Although, wouldn't that be something?) He's more like a supportive investor with a killer pair of courtside seats (we can only assume).
So Who's Calling the Shots Then?
The Dodgers are actually owned by a group of folks called Guggenheim Baseball Management. Think of them as the team's board of directors, with Magic being a very important (and stylish) member. This group also includes other bigwigs like Mark Walter and Stan Kasten.
Why Did Magic Get In On the Action?
Well, this is where things get interesting. Magic isn't just a basketball fanatic; he's a true Los Angeles icon. Owning a piece of the Dodgers allows him to stay connected to the city's vibrant sports scene and, let's face it, who wouldn't want to be part of a World Series winner? (Looking at you, 2020 champs!)
The Final Buzzer: Magic's a Fan with a Piece of the Pie
So, while Magic Johnson doesn't own the entire Los Angeles Dodgers, his 2.3% stake is a pretty sweet investment. He gets to be a part of the action, cheer on his team, and maybe even suggest a flashy new uniform design (we're picturing a lot of purple and gold). After all, a little Magic never hurt anyone!
