Lakers Lose their Magic

Remember NBA player Magic Johnson from back in the day? Of course you do, because he is one of the best bballers of all time. Well, since his days as a player (Magic played all of his 13 seasons in the NBA with the Lakers), Magic briefly coached the Lakers, became a broadcaster, and bought a 4.5% stake in the Lakers franchise. Yesterday, it was announced that Magic sold his share in the team to Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a 25 year Lakers ticket holder and more importantly, successful physician, buisnessman, and teacher.

Apparently, Magic sold his share with the hope of one day purchasing a larger stake in a professional team. (Recently, Magic has shown interest in purchasing a large stake in the Detroit Pistons.) Can the Lakers go on without Magic on their side?
