@@TomJones-zm3kz obviously you are a white male unaware of the social climate in america today.

They are one of us. Gives us a sense of hope. If they can do it, we can do it too!
It's amazing. When Magic talks, I just genuinely want to listen and I could listen for hours. And I didn't grow up in his era. I'm 21, I wasn't around with the Showtime Lakers. But there's something about a person with so much wisdom and so much influence with such an inviting aura and so much charisma that makes you truly want to be there and experience what he has to tell you. And there's not a lot of people that can do that for me. He's truly "Magic".
@Tommy Walker If you were intelligent you would listen to enough successful people and they all say the same, making your first million is just as hard as making your first 10 million/100 million. If I were to judge your intelligence, it would be "I'll go nowhere in life/10".
@@marer1000 Yea. To expound on that, in this particular context he's saying that at this point in his position, he has millions of dollars to invest, and only a limited amount of time. The time you put into a business deal is roughly the same whether you're risking a million or twenty million, you still do your homework on the details, weigh the pros, potential ROI, etc. So he's saying for people to stop asking him about 100k investments when at this stage he's more into doing 100 mil investments.
Magic is ruining the Lakers! Great player, but TERRIBLE GM! Based off of desire to make a big splash and entirely wishful thinking he's made bad decision after bad decision after bad decision Please fire his stupid ass!
Providing jobs all across the country. Magic has a cleaning company that cleans schools. The average person cleaning makes $21 an hour. That’s what he’s doing.

@@allgasnobrakes919 I agree. In my opinion there's 4 guys that can unquestionably hold that title. Kareem, MJ, Wilt, and Bill Russell. Kareem just happens to be my favorite so I'll always pick him. I hold those four in the same category at the end of the day.
If we can't shoot jumpers, run a football or sing where are we suppose to get the start up money? They clearly said they don't do deals with regular people

I worked at a Magic Johnson Theater back in 2002. So when he's saying he created jobs, he's talking about people like me. I helped my mom pay her car note that summer. That's real shit. Thank you, Magic.
Magic is such an iconic human! So positive and such a good talker that makes anyone want to listen to what he had to say!! So much respect for this man!
No two players have transcended the game more than MJ and Magic. From a professional athlete to billionaire business men. The charisma Magic has is unbelievable, can’t help but smile when you see him.
...funny thing about all this i met his Dad as Car HAULER...back in the day never ...never knew WHO the Man was ...Un-til-...somebody ...said TELL-ME-WHERE-HAVE-YOU-SEEN-THAT-...smile...before...looks just like his dad ...

A wonderful interview and discussion. For those who did not understand why LeBron left Cleveland to go to Los Angeles here is your answer. It is an opportunity to work with and learn from the best. No more to be said.
You're Exactly Right! I Love LeBron James and his move to the LA Lakers, an Historic Championship Team says precisely "I'm Going to be Mentored by Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant, while Contributing to the Lakers and helping the young Players Improve themselves as well, OMYGOODNESS! LeBron Leveled UP on this move here for Historic Reasons!!!!!
One of the best interviews every. Magic is the man. His greatness on the court and off the court is unmatched. He is humble but he keeps a real. Maverick and Lebron team can learn alot from this guy. That's one of the reason he went to Lakers (for life legacy not BB legacy). #showtime #businessman
This is where it starts. So much of changing culture is finding the right people to show pathways. Getting to the people that can provide guidance or a blueprint that you can shape to your individual personality
I’m a 20 yr hispanic kid and unfortunately I didn’t get to see Magic on the court growing up but I did(and still do) always see him in a suit and in newsmagazine making deals left and right that would help minorities or was just a regular HUGE deal. I’m glad I’m still able to witness greatness even past the court from him
"You have to have rivalries, and you have to have superstars to tell the story" I know im going off topic a little bit, but notice how truthful that statement is. Any era in the nba was always interesting because they always had a story to it. Wnba needs something like that for that business to prosper so they can get paid more.
Magic is truly the king of LA IMO. Saw him jogging early in the morning near Beverly Hills a few years ago and people were saying hi to him and he was being nice and saying hi right back...wasn't "too busy" or pretended not to notice, but engaged with the people. It's no surprise that he's been so successful throughout his life and hasn't let basketball define him though it was the platform that introduced him to the world. Some may claim Kobe or now LJ is the king, but it'll always be Magic who runs this town.
@@bendover3653 that is a true statement. Here is another true statement, we are aboriginals of every continent your agreement does not change this fact!
I enjoyed this interview and lol Magic was serious at the end when he said he forgot there were cameras. I'm pretty sure this interview was way longer and had a lot of editing because there was a clear gap/fast track between Magic buying a stake in the Lakers to talking about Jerry Buss' death.
This is probably the most impactful thing I seen from two brothers doing big things in my life. I have a new found repect for Maverick and I've been rolling with Magic since he broke Bird off at Michigan State. I wish my father could see Magic now. When he took me to those Bulls games at the Old Chicago Stadium to see the Showtime Lakers who knew we were looking at a Basketball and a Business Legend. Thanks to both of you guys for letting us in on the next Level.
He's telling the truth I grow up with the Johnson's in Lansing EJ was the man in Lansing him and the Vincent boys from the Eastside. I love my friend Buck.
This was so inspiring and full of insight , that when i saw that (16) viewers didn't like it, i was damn near offended by the (16) and I wanted to see what they wrote and why. As i began to scroll down I stopped myself thought, Not everyone is going to like what you do or like. Sometimes they just can't, understand. This was Dope!
This was so well done! Lots to soak up and take in. I especially liked that Magic made the decision early to ignore his fellow players and continue building a relationship with Jerry Bus, because he knew that was where he wanted to eventually end up! Also incredibly motivating to see two brothers chopping it up about business moves.
We took a group of kids to see the movie Birth of a Nation. We took them to a Magic Johnson Theatre in Harlem. When we were leaving and we heard 2 young people talking and they said to themselves..."Who is Magic Johnson?" We realized that they never saw Magic the ball player. They will only know the business ventures that bear his name. And they were impressed with that.
This is a phenomenal interview. I will definitely be following your UA-cam account now. Reminded me of sitting down with mentors when I was younger as they just opened up about the reality of making things happen. Be present, intentional and get prepared for the opportunities that are constantly arising.
I don’t want to do one deal with you, I want to do 10 deals with you.” -Magic Johnson, love him, there is a similar video ua-cam.com/video/qqseqit-4Us/v-deo.html
I like hearing about what Magic has done in business, because I think about all the folks who he gets to make a positive affect on. Having the legacy of employing people, giving them great pay, offering great benefit packages. That's what really great business is.. it's about people growing for the greater good!! GREAT GUY!! #MagicJohnson
Hello...tell that to those who hold the race card like a badge of honor and an entitlement. Turn the pain into fuel not self destructive hate. Time to be about the business. Capitalism does not have a color. It is proven...somebody will give you a chance. You only need one chance. The failures pack significant lessons you can't learn anywhere else. Even if it takes 99 closed doors. U only need to prepare for one open door. Can we say Kentucky fried chicken? Does it really matter the reason the 80 doors were never open?? Just saying...
This also shows that while growing up, black representation is important in a racist system like America, because without that black CEO giving that cleaning job so he could dream, we might never have magic the business man
@@dahulkters1 Can't be racist because it "doesn't affect his income and social standing"? You may want to look up the definition of racism. I'm not "butt hurt", I feel bad for you. Whether you want to term it racism or prejudice, you are clearly categorizing people according to their race. You're referring to "white people" as some category instead of judging individuals within that group by the content of their character. Race is a very secondary thing for me. You can change my race and you won't change my character or my spirit. It's sad that you focus so much on race and categorizing people that way. Let me tell you, no "white person" will lose sleep over your thoughts or words. You are mostly affecting your own life with that perspective. Magic Johnson rose above race and wasn't too prejudice to accept help from people like Jerry Buss. Would you even be able to work with "white people" the way Magic does? You're only hurting yourself.
@@dahulkters1 Wow. Sad statements. I've never stopped anyone from doing anything good with their life. Time to re-read your words and look in the mirror. It sounds like you have a lot of negativity and toxicity in your brain. If you're not getting where you want in life, look no further than your terrible attitude.
James Thompson wypipo...smh, u said no wypipo care about my words, but u still here replying because u want to prove u not like your ppl, in the words of Jay Z, we don’t believe you, you need more ppl, your statement u never stop anything from getting anything, show u don’t understand racism, question, what have done to fight racism, u call out your racist grandma or grandad, u ever call out your racist friend, what have u done to help fight the structure, in words of Mohammed Ali, if I see twenty snakes coming at me, I’m not going to stop to see which one is good, it’s funny how no wypipo is racist but racism exist, the basketball u watching you not even know it part of a modern day slavery system, NCAA basketball not even pay the players but university benefited from it, dude do yourself a favour and read , go and read the autobiography of Malcom X , until then STFU, until u know what u talking about, cause u doing lick a dunce and hella defensive
Awesome job Maverick I salute you brotha for all you have done and become. You truly paved the way for yourself and for others to follow. Best wishes and much success to you. God Bless
As a Celtic Fan growing up- Magic broke my heart SO many times(baby hook '87- hurt the worst)- but even tho I hated him, I had so much respect. Magic- in my opinion- GOAT. Real recognizes Real
Has been my hero since I started Watching hoop in 85. I'm 39 years old and this Man is still my Idol!!! Magic is everything we should aspire to be. Black success and Black excellence personified!!!
Great video, really feel like I learned a thing or two! Magic is in my mount rush more and I’ve never even seen him play. RESPECT! Love a great Business man that opens up jobs for Latinos and Africa Americas.
Excellent interview, I got the privilege to be @ a seminar with Magic @ Stanford. The meeting after the meeting was amazing. So many gems were being dropped, I just sat back & listened & soaked in all that knowledge. Magic is a down to earth Brotha. Mav release the full interview of this, I know that was deep! Great work Maverick!
This was one of the best interviews with Magic Johnson on business that I have ever seen! Great job Maverick; please make these kind of interviews a habit!
This Is A Great Interview!! Magic Was My Fav Player In any Sport When I Was A Kid!! I Cried When I Thought He Was Gonna Die!! He Is Alive & Blessed!! Tell Me GOD Ain't Good!!
Great interview! Magic Johnson is a great guy. To have a vision to be in business. Basketball was a means to it and yet the level at which he played was a show of his character. Pursuing excellence. His reputation for being outstanding. Not to mention the way he honoured Dr Buss. Wisdom.
Good interview... I need a strong women like that in my life damn time's has change... Magic Johnson$!$! I always tell myself be ready so you never have to get ready!!

I became one too, saw a vid earlier than this ua-cam.com/video/qqseqit-4Us/v-deo.html , check it if you are a new fan
Wow, listening to magic is a reminder we can do what ever we tell ourselves.
Hello...tell that to those who hold the race card like a badge of honor and an entitlement. Turn the pain into fuel not self destructive hate. Time to be about the business. Capitalism does not have a color. It is proven...somebody will give you a chance. You only need one chance. The failures pack significant lessons you can't learn anywhere else. Even if it takes 99 closed doors. U only need to prepare for one open door. Can we say Kentucky fried chicken? Does it really matter the reason the 80 doors were never open?? Just saying...
+NXTCHP FORME get help.
This also shows that while growing up, black representation is important in a racist system like America, because without that black CEO giving that cleaning job so he could dream, we might never have magic the business man
Not to mention white man Jerry Buss...
If you think The U.S. of A. is so awfully racist, go try to start a company yourself in most other countries.
@@dahulkters1 Can't be racist because it "doesn't affect his income and social standing"? You may want to look up the definition of racism. I'm not "butt hurt", I feel bad for you. Whether you want to term it racism or prejudice, you are clearly categorizing people according to their race. You're referring to "white people" as some category instead of judging individuals within that group by the content of their character. Race is a very secondary thing for me. You can change my race and you won't change my character or my spirit. It's sad that you focus so much on race and categorizing people that way. Let me tell you, no "white person" will lose sleep over your thoughts or words. You are mostly affecting your own life with that perspective. Magic Johnson rose above race and wasn't too prejudice to accept help from people like Jerry Buss. Would you even be able to work with "white people" the way Magic does? You're only hurting yourself.
@@dahulkters1 Wow. Sad statements. I've never stopped anyone from doing anything good with their life. Time to re-read your words and look in the mirror. It sounds like you have a lot of negativity and toxicity in your brain. If you're not getting where you want in life, look no further than your terrible attitude.
James Thompson wypipo...smh, u said no wypipo care about my words, but u still here replying because u want to prove u not like your ppl, in the words of Jay Z, we don’t believe you, you need more ppl, your statement u never stop anything from getting anything, show u don’t understand racism, question, what have done to fight racism, u call out your racist grandma or grandad, u ever call out your racist friend, what have u done to help fight the structure, in words of Mohammed Ali, if I see twenty snakes coming at me, I’m not going to stop to see which one is good, it’s funny how no wypipo is racist but racism exist, the basketball u watching you not even know it part of a modern day slavery system, NCAA basketball not even pay the players but university benefited from it, dude do yourself a favour and read , go and read the autobiography of Malcom X , until then STFU, until u know what u talking about, cause u doing lick a dunce and hella defensive
Great interview. I'm enjoying listening to two powerful men talking. Bring Magic back, he is very wise and has a lot to talk about
Magic was my hero and still might be.
Awesome job Maverick I salute you brotha for all you have done and become. You truly paved the way for yourself and for others to follow. Best wishes and much success to you. God Bless
This was just an incredible interview. Very well done.
There's a reason his name is Magic. He just has tons of charisma. Anyone would love to just hang with Magic.
As a Celtic Fan growing up- Magic broke my heart SO many times(baby hook '87- hurt the worst)- but even tho I hated him, I had so much respect. Magic- in my opinion- GOAT. Real recognizes Real
Has been my hero since I started Watching hoop in 85. I'm 39 years old and this Man is still my Idol!!! Magic is everything we should aspire to be. Black success and Black excellence personified!!!
Brilliant interview, full of golden nuggets of wisdom and knowledge. I'm inspired.
Great interview magic gave some gems
Great video, really feel like I learned a thing or two! Magic is in my mount rush more and I’ve never even seen him play. RESPECT! Love a great Business man that opens up jobs for Latinos and Africa Americas.
Excellent interview, I got the privilege to be @ a seminar with Magic @ Stanford. The meeting after the meeting was amazing. So many gems were being dropped, I just sat back & listened & soaked in all that knowledge. Magic is a down to earth Brotha. Mav release the full interview of this, I know that was deep! Great work Maverick!
"If you don't dream it, you can't become it."

Excellent interview. Wish it were longer.
Excellent interview! I love these brothers and how they are going about their business. Peace!

All I am saying is thank you!!!!
Brother Carter is a great interviewer! Such good info and it was natural.
The Magic Man!!
Great interview! Magic Johnson is a great guy. To have a vision to be in business. Basketball was a means to it and yet the level at which he played was a show of his character. Pursuing excellence. His reputation for being outstanding.
Not to mention the way he honoured Dr Buss. Wisdom.
Good interview... I need a strong women like that in my life damn time's has change... Magic Johnson$!$! I always tell myself be ready so you never have to get ready!!
Magic is Magical. Love this brother and the wonderful things he’s doing. Maverick Carter is the man.
Great interview!!!! When they talk about Magic they need to include that he was and still is a smartass Black Man...
Love Magic Johnson! He always leaves you feeling inspired to take action for the greater good.
