“Report Suggests that Magic Johnson and ‘V. Stiviano’ Conspired to Steal the L.A. Clippers from Donald Sterling; DA is Investigating ‘Stiviano’ for Possible Extortion of Sterling.”]

“he says he is ready to help Silicon Valley hire more blacks and Latinos to diversify the technology industry’s largely white and Asian workforce.”
He’s not “ready to help” anyone! He’s looking to extort millions of dollars from tech firms, and at the same time force them to hire incompetent blacks and Hispanics who will either hold parasitic “show-no” jobs or, even worse, jobs as “diversity officers,” which they will use to sabotage the firms. Hiring Johnson’s affirmative action parasites would, in any event initiate a cycle of constant, frivolous lawsuits by the new, incompetent, black and Hispanic hires.
When Johnson was in the pros, he played on one of the greatest teams of all time, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/Lew Alcindor, James Worthy, and A.C. Green, teams that won five NBA titles in nine years. Back then, he was one of the two or three best players in the league (first with Larry Bird, and later with Michael Jordan), but was content to let others sing his praises. His career was cut short when he came up HIV+, after years of orgiastic promiscuity with both sexes. Since his retirement, he has accomplished nothing, indeed, he has been a curse, yet he now compulsively praises his non-existent accomplishments.
More recently, he was in the middle of the campaign to destroy Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, and steal his team out from under him.
Johnson was sleeping with Sterling’s mistress/prostitute, Vanessa “V.” Stiviano (among other aliases she’d used). Stiviano sent out an Instagram picture of herself and Johnson at a Clippers game at Sterling’s arena, presumably to racially and sexually humiliate him. Stiviano then manipulated Sterling into having a private conversation about race and the Johnson matter, which she secretly, and criminally tape recorded, and then either sent to the media, or gave to a criminal accomplice, who sent it to them.
At the same time, Magic Johnson suggested that he looked forward to getting the Clippers handed over to him. Things didn’t work out for Johnson, as the media-manufactured scandal increased the Clippers’ value three-fold, and they were bought by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, for $2 billion.
At the time Johnson was working the Sterling angle, he also sent out tasteless tweets about Lakers head coach Mike D’Antoni.
Prior to the advent of social media, the MSM could protect Johnson from himself, but social media made this much more difficult.
Sterling and Stiviano recently reconciled.

MAGIC
Earvin "Magic" Johnson has become the most powerful African-American businessman in America
[As far as I can see, he’s no businessman at all. I have yet to find any instances of him risking his own money in a business undertaking.]
MJE REEL
Our expertise in Strategy, Business and Creativity [sic] coupled with our unique understanding of the Urban [sic] marketplace has driven unparalleled results for our clients and partners.
[What “understanding”?]
Magic Johnson Enterprises serves as a catalyst for and fostering community/economic empowerment by making available high-quality entertainment, products and services that answer the demands of ethnically diverse urban communities.
DISCOVERING THE POWER OF
MAGICIZING
Infusing the Magic Johnson Enterprises philosophy and web of influence into the strategy of other established brands in order to serve and capitalize off of the growing buying power of minorities and value of the multicultural [read: parasitic] economy. Our expertise in Strategy, Business and Creativity [sic] coupled with our unique understanding of the urban marketplace has driven unparalleled results for our clients and partners. For Best Buy, Starbucks, 24 Hour Fitness, Canyon Capital Realty Advisors and others, MAGICIZING has proven to be a critical and measureable [sic] success factor in achieving a significant Return On Investment [sic].
[Measurable? How? How did paying racist extortion to Earvin Johnson increase the market share of any company?]
EARVIN
JOHNSON
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
NBA Legend…2-Time Hall of Famer…Entrepreneur…Philanthropist…and Motivational Speaker are just a few honors of distinction that show the culmination of greatness possessed by Earvin “Magic” Johnson. The business mogul has successfully parlayed his skills and tenacity on the court into the business world, propelling his company to the status of #1 Urban Brand in America.
[“Honors of distinction”? “The culmination of greatness possessed”? This sounds like it was written by a semi-literate narcissist… named Earvin Johnson.]
Today he is Chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises (MJE), which provides high quality products and services that focus primarily on ethnically diverse and underserved urban communities through strategic alliances, investments, consulting and endorsements. [What “products and services”?] The conglomerate is comprised of multiple business entities and partnerships that include Canyon Johnson, a $1 billion dollar real estate fund, Yucaipa Johnson, a $500 million dollar private equity fund, ASPIRE, a new African-American television network, SodexoMAGIC, Magic Airport Holdings, Best Buy, T.G.I.F. Friday’s Restaurant, Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, Detroit Venture Partners, and Vibe Holdings, LLC - Mr. Johnson is the Chairman of the multi-cultural media company that houses the Vibe, Uptown, and Soul Train brands.
Most noted for his unprecedented Starbucks partnership [Racially extorting money out of a company is no more a partnership than is a leech and his host], which served as the catalyst for redevelopment in urban communities and is literally the blueprint for Corporate America’s engagement and success with urban consumers [That was a very long sentence fragment]. In 2010, the savvy businessman divested his Starbucks and Los Angeles Lakers shares in excess $100 million dollars. However, he will continue to assist Starbucks with their community development initiatives and will remain Vice President of the Los Angeles Lakers. [In other words, he’s still extorting money out of both firms! Note, too, his vicious tweets hoping for the failure of the Lakers under its white head coach during his Sterling campaign last spring.]
Mr. Johnson has also teamed up with Tim Lieweke of AEG in an effort to build a new stadium and bring an NFL team back to Los Angeles as well as thousands of jobs to the city…The story of Mr. Johnson and Larry Bird’s inspiring friendship and rivalry will be unveiled April 2012 in “Magic & Bird” on Broadway.
[In other words, the NFL project failed. But since Johnson didn’t contribute ay money to the project, what was his contribution?]
Mr. Johnson also serves as Chairman and Founder of the Magic Johnson Foundation, where his unwavering commitment to transform Urban America continues through HIV/AIDS Awareness & Prevention Programs, Community Empowerment Centers, and the Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program. Celebrating 20years of success, the Magic Johnson Foundation has become one of the most recognizable philanthropic organizations around the world. [That’s funny; I never heard of it before. That might be because the MJF’s number one beneficiary is Earvin Johnson.]
Magic Johnson ready to assist tech in diversity

San Jose, Calif. — Retired Los Angeles Laker Magic Johnson became famous for dishing out assists to his teammates during his Hall of Fame basketball career. Now, as an entrepreneur focused on minority markets, he says he is ready to help Silicon Valley hire more blacks and Latinos to diversify the technology industry’s largely white and Asian workforce.
Johnson believes his own Beverly Hills, California, company, Magic Johnson Enterprises, could connect major technology employers with more minority engineers if they call upon him.
“We have to make sure the Apples and Googles of the world get together with others who know what they are doing and who can make a difference, whether it’s myself or somebody else,” Johnson told The Associated Press Wednesday after appearing at an Intuit Inc. conference in Silicon Valley.
