NBA superstar LeBron James and teammate Lonzo Ball recall their utter disbelief the moment they learned legendary Magic Johnson abruptly quit as the Los Angeles Lakers president without notice.

During the latest episode of LeBron’s “The Shop” series on HBO, he profanely recites his thoughts when Magic, who helped recruit LeBron to the Lakers from his hometown team in Cleveland, gave an impromptu press conference to announce he was stepping down immediately after just two years on the job.

This installment of the beloved barbershop series, “The Shop,” feature guests Travis Scott, Pharrell Williams, Seth Rogen, Don Cheadle, Paul Rivera, Jimmy Iovine, DeAndre Hopkins, and Lonzo Ball. Together, they discussed the euphoria of winning awards, how newer generations differ from the old, and the explosive college admissions scandal.
