The world of basketball has seen plenty of shocking revelations, but the latest bombshell from Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has left fans completely stunned. In a recent video interview, Buss appeared to drop a major hint that she may have hooked up with Magic Johnson shortly after he was drafted by the Lakers in 1979.
This revelation has sent the NBA world into a frenzy, with fans and analysts now revisiting decades of Lakers history in an attempt to piece together what really happened between Buss and the legendary point guard.
During the interview, Buss was discussing the Lakers’ golden era, reflecting on the team’s transformation after Magic Johnson was drafted first overall in 1979.
Then, almost casually, she made a jaw-dropping remark that immediately caught everyone’s attention.
"Let’s just say… that was a very exciting time in my life," Buss said, smirking.
The interviewer pressed her, sensing she was hinting at something more personal. That’s when Buss dropped another cryptic line:
"Magic was, well… Magic. And I was young, and it was Los Angeles in the late ‘70s. Do I need to say more?"
The clip of Buss’ comments has since gone viral, with NBA fans rushing to social media to dissect what she really meant.
- "WAIT, did Jeanie just admit she and Magic had a thing?! This is wild!"
- "Magic Johnson really had the Lakers in the palm of his hand from DAY ONE, huh?"
- "The Buss family and the Lakers are more dramatic than any soap opera. I love it."
Some are convinced that Buss just confirmed a long-rumored secret, while others believe she was simply having fun with the conversation.
Either way, the speculation has rekindled interest in the early days of the Lakers dynasty, when the franchise was undergoing a major transformation, both on and off the court.
While Buss’ latest remarks are the strongest hint yet of a possible romance, whispers of a deeper connection between her and Magic Johnson have been circulating for decades.
- They’ve always shared a close friendship, with Magic frequently praising Buss’ leadership and calling her a key part of the Lakers’ success.
- Buss has repeatedly spoken highly of Magic, calling him the most important player in Lakers history and even saying she “loved him” in a past interview.
- Magic was one of the few people Buss confided in during the drama of the Lakers’ front-office power struggle in recent years.
Could it be that their bond was built on something deeper than just basketball?
As of now, Magic Johnson has not publicly commented on Buss’ eyebrow-raising remarks.
However, given his history of being open about his personal life, many expect that he’ll have something to say once this story picks up even more steam.
Could we be on the verge of a legendary NBA tell-all moment?
Or will Magic and Buss brush off the speculation, keeping the mystery alive?
While Buss never explicitly confirmed a relationship, the implications of her comments have been enough to send fans into full conspiracy mode.
Some believe she was just joking around, playing up the mystique of Lakers history.
Others, however, are convinced that this is the closest she’s ever come to admitting a real past with Magic Johnson.
- Will Magic Johnson address Buss’ comments, or will he stay silent?
- Could more details about their rumored past emerge?
- How will Lakers fans react to this unexpected revelation?
One thing is certain—Jeanie Buss just ignited one of the most intriguing conversations in NBA history, and the internet can’t get enough of it.
