I am thrilled to announce my 250th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will talk about the fallout from the shocking news that Magic Johnson delivered on Tuesday night.

With no warning, Magic Johnson fired off another “no look pass” on Tuesday night. The Lakers President shocked the organization and the sports world when he resigned after just two years. Magic said he was not happy and the current state of the Los Angeles Lakers were making him miserable.

Magic pulled off one of the biggest free agent moves in NBA history last summer when he signed Lebron James to a four year deal. But this season was one of the biggest disasters in league history for the Superstar. Not only did the Lakers not challenge the Golden State Warriors for a championship, but they didn’t even challenge the Los Angeles Clippers for the 8th and final playoff spot.

I don’t blame Magic for this humiliating failure. I don’t blame head coach Luke Walton. I blame Lebron James. With a roster of Lebron, Kuzma, Ingram, Rondo, and McGee, the Lakers have WAY more talent then several of the teams that finished ahead of them in the West. But when Lebron James plays ZERO defense, alienates his teammates, and sits out when he is healthy, the team went into a full blown meltdown.

I have always been a huge fan of Magic Johnson. I am happy for him to be “free” again, as he stated last night. But I feel bad for the Lakers fans. They were sold a big old bag of fools gold, called Lebron James. And now the greatest franchise in sports has less hope than they did before James took his talents to Hollywood.

It will be a long summer in L.A.
