magic johnson and LeBron James have always held a strong amount of respect for each other, and have appreciated each other's similar yet unique abilities on the basketball court. This once again has been proven with a recent tweet from LeBron Raymone James in regards to the 58th Birthday of Magic 'Earvin' Johnson, from one of the greatest ever to another of the all time greats.
Magic Johnson turned 58 on the 14th of August, making it over 20 years since we last saw him on a basketball court playing in the NBA. Johnson spent his prime years in the 1980's and will forever be remembered for his title runs, domination over the sport and his rivalry with Larry Bird.
Although it's debatable, a lot of people will see Magic Johnson as the greatest Los Angeles Laker of all time.
LeBron wishes Johnson a happy birthday
LeBron James has been very active on social media during the offseason, posting many interesting and controversial items on his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. It's seen on the Twitter page of @KingJames has wished Magic Johnson a happy birthday.
LeBron interestingly gave a little more insight into the post, it wasn't just the usual 'happy birthday' post. The King mentioned the impact Mr. Johnson has had on his life and has been one of the true friends of his who has never let him down and always showed him respect and love. Both legends of the National Basketball Association share similar skills on the court, especially the skill of passing the ball.
This is a huge reason they have so much respect and appreciation for each other.
Happy birthday @MagicJohnson!! One of the few that's always showed love from day 1 to me! Thank you. Enjoy your day!!
