Few people in NBA history understand what it takes to make the Los Angeles Lakers successful better than Magic Johnson, and the legendary former point guard is "ecstatic" about the reported sale to Mark Walter.

On Wednesday, the Buss family reportedly agreed to sell its majority ownership stake in the Lakers to Mark Walter, the CEO of TWG Global and Guggenheim Partners. Through Guggenheim Partners, he has owned a sizable stake in the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Lakers legend Magic Johnson applauded the agreement to sell the organization to Dodgers owner Mark Walter for an astonishing $10 billion — and found a way to poke fun at the Celtics. The pending sale — reportedly the largest ever for a sports team — is set to end the Buss family’s control of one of the NBA’s marquee franchises.
