Luke was definitely smashing Jeanie
STOP
HiKevin wouldn’t you hit that?
i dont think so. luke is a fine young fellow in his 30’s he can do better than her.
Max went at him in the beginning wow
“As a man you have to make decisions based on your own well being” it’s that simple
Exactly gotta respect it my g ?? everyone gotta make dat
LeBron Outta ALL PEOPLE should relate to that being that he teamed up wit Wade and Bosh in Miami and came back to Cleveland for HIS OWN WELL BEING ??
Facts!
If im the lakers, rob pelinka has to go
everybody in the Lakers organization. The only people that matter
+TheRealBandito does the fans support him and does help with the team to bring in talent and elevate this team to get to the playoffs and win rings
ummm no
He gotta go
+TheRealBandito Watches video on why Rob Pelinka is trash….
…Somehow believes everybody likes Rob Pelinka…
+TheRealBandito oh course mf. But if im trying to get a star player and if they agent got problems with him then it’s a problem
Max was born to be an interrogator.
The guy kinda just asked straight questions to his face
its called credible non #dicksucking journalism u weakassbioooootch
Brett Kozlak chill out u misogynistic pos
Magic is too smooth and experienced to fall into those questions he was asking him though lol
Well…if you had a brother that was brutally murdered….you would ask DIRECT questions, too.
No one:
Stephen A: Rob Pelinker
jol dut ?? every time he can’t say jokic to save his life
LMAO
Jaja Pachulia
???
Also Stephen A: Kemberr Walker
Such a positive person. Teaching them all a lesson despite trying to push him off board. Take care of yourself first.
I would’ve done the same.
Magic was a rich millionaire before Lakers who simply enjoyed life.
There was too many restrictions with his title at the organization.
Your peace of mind is worth everything.
Also, just because you are a laker fan who loved magic growing up or becuse he is your favorite player that doesn’t mean you HAvE to defend his poor decisions and actions. That is the worst and clearest kind of bias and it sickens me in sports. There is a difference between your favorite and the correct answer
No magic wasn’t a millionaire or successful b4 the Lakers the Lakers made magic
+Jordan Willett THANK YOU!!!!
Without basketball would we even know him??
Would he be “Magic”?????????????????
+Darren Gordon-Hill
Nope no-one would know who he was he stabbed his hometown and his fans in the back it’s almost as bad as what KD did to OKC
Exactly, these haters and idiots want to make magic out to be the villian because they live in a world where they have to accept or stay a job that they don’t like, life is too short to be doing somethin you’re not happy doing, ESPECIALLY if you have to because you’re already a millionaire with other businesses, people are mad because magic is one of the few people who can step down from an executive position and be even happier
MAX IM NOT A REGRETFUL PERSON…..
-Magic Johnson
+vogeto bolton naw, not even that. He has handled that. And it really is none of our business. Thanks for pointing U OUT.
+Scott Davidson facts bro. Nobody thinking about that man’s personal business. these net clowns are sick
+vogeto bolton that’s low fam.
@vogeto bolton FOH BITCH HOW DARE YOU GO AN MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE FOR HAVING A DISEASE
I wonder if he regrets exposing his wife to HIV all those years ago? what would that say about his character I he said no? What kind of person doesn’t regret hurting people? I appreciate Magic coming on the show to address this but that statement was disappointing.
Tomorrow
Max KellerMan: You saw it on the show yesterday, Kobe “Bean” Bryant is the power behind Rob Pelinka. Magic Johnson told us already!”
Max: where does Rob’s power comes from?
Magic: I don’t know man, one of the infinity stones I guess…
pogingpogi214 ?
Lol super casual
?
He’s fuckin her
WOW. The tea ?
Mr. Johnson ain’t scared of ANYONE!
? ? ?
lynsie.bear he has absolutely no reason to be lmao
2019 Lakers > Game of Thrones
LA Clippers game of thrones is nothing compared to this
LA Clippers when this series is over the lakers 2018/19 season better win an Emmy
This comment makes no sense but has 42 likes ?
Brandon 98 It means watching the laker power struggle is more interesting and entertaining than the current season of Game of thrones which is true…
+Brandon 98 Maybe your comprehension is lacking
Rob Pelinkuur is a super villain
Rob is clapping jeanies cheeks it’s that simple ??♂️
+Jamin crenshaw she was in playboy
Damn Jeanie needs to give ME them cheeks ??
The end???????
Sadiki Stephenson can’t blame him bro
In LA if you want the good jobs you gotta kiss ass. Rob is probably a master ass kisser I’m guessing.
“She lauuuuv Luke as a man”…….
there goes our answer to the million dollar question
giggity
They smashing lol
Next Episode:Anthony Davis Spilling the Beans on the New Orleans Organization.??
Max is trying to start something between MAGIC & KOBE!! Stop it max!
he hates on Kobe so much
And what people should realize is that it’s bigger then magic kobe jeanie or pelinka, it’s about making the purple and gold relevant again
Respect to Magic for not backtracking on how he felt,as a man you do have to make moves that are best for you #thatslife
Y’all pathetic. You don’t make decisions that hurt others intentionally. If the others are just in their feelings then screw them, but if you take a responsibility and then betray trust, that ain’t manly, that’s cowardly. But then again the modern man today is mostly a confused coward anyways
This sounds similar to “well I got married cuz she was really hot but then I decided I WANTED to fuck some hoes so I peaced out. HEH HEH HEH. I’m so manly that I don’t understand the term or meaning of responsibility”. Fucking pathetic. It is seriously insane how far off we have gotten as a culture when it comes to what real masculinity and femininity is and how it looks when embodied
nah. you dont make decisions that fuck over those who didnt wrong you.
magic is weak for what he did and has lost the respect of many. things got too tough for him so he bailed.
+Schuyler Savage what the hell are you rambling about. Who are you to question a proven leader, winner, and saavy proven business man. You keyboard bastards cant define shit. Tell you what hotshot.. give me your real name to Google. Lets see how successful you are as a leader of men. He was tired of his power being overridden by less experienced people dummy. Its not that hard to comprehend.
+Elijah Martin The way he did it was wrong, but the decision in itself is soley on Magic and nobody else, if you start a job and feel it’s not the right fit, it’s your decision to step away, everybody else will live, you’re not obligated to do anything for anybody
Wtf is Rob Palinkuur, though???♂️?
First time i seen stephen A. Just Sit back & listen. Max lows got all the right Questions W / great energy ??? Respect.! For magics honesty too
