Magic Johnson on Kobe Bryant’s retirement
On Tuesday, December 1, the Los Angeles Dodgers introduced their new manager, Dave Roberts, to the media. On hand for the occasion were various members of the Dodgers organization, including players, coaches and management.
One of those present was minority owner Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who was there to talk mainly about the Dodgers and their new manager, whom Johnson said was the best man for the job. But then someone asked the NBA and Lakers legend about Kobe Bryant and his retirement from the Los Angeles Lakers. “I looked at the calendar and I said, ‘I’m going to start going to all the Lakers games. I can’t miss because this is going to be the end for me seeing him play!’ ”
Here is the video of Magic Johnson talking about Kobe Bryant.

Los Angeles Post-Examiner is not the typical news platform. We go beyond headlines, creating a space for fiction writers, poets, comedians and musicians to share their talent and be discovered. Inspired by the Beatles’ vision behind Apple Corps Ltd, they opened the door to all kinds of inspiring talent that never really got a shot. From that came the likes of James Taylor and many others. By providing a similar approach we can shine the light on some tremendous undiscovered talent and at the same time offer some familiar voices who live in Los Angeles and beyond.
