Magic Johnson Instagram – Jeanie Buss – since we were young, I knew you were destined for greatness! Your drive, determination, and winning mindset have equipped you to grow to one of the most powerful women in sports as the NBA’s first woman president and owner of the Los Angeles Lakers! After becoming the first female controlling owner to win the NBA championship in 2020 and the In-Season Tournament Championship in 2023, you have truly proven to everyone that women can be just as successful as men while running a professional team- if not more. You have successfully upheld the first-class Lakers’ legacy that your father and my mentor Dr. Jerry Buss created with such grace! It was an honor and pleasure to be able to work with you side by side fulfilling a dream of Dr. Buss. You truly have the biggest heart. I’ve seen firsthand how you’ve blessed people through opportunities and donating millions of dollars to charitable organizations. I know your father is beaming with pride for the woman you are today! My sister and life-long friend – you are women’s history! Your passion, resilience, and advocacy for women in sports have certainly inspired women who want to become sports executives. Thank you for all you do, and the love you’ve always shown me! 💐
