Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson is doing his bit in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. He isn't part of the battle on the frontlines, but the Hall of Famer has opted to place the Magic Johnson experience on an auction to raise funds for the pandemic relief efforts.
According to Tyler Conway of Bleacher Report, the opportunity to play HORSE and sit courtside with Johnson during a Lakers game has gone to a bidder that is willing to part ways with a whopping $220,000. The auction was held on the Fanatics website as part of the All-In Challenge auction, and this is how they described the once-in-a-lifetime experience:
“Watch out for his signature no-look pass! You'll need to be dialed in as you become friendly rivals with Magic Johnson, competing in a game of H.O.R.S.E. and spending the day with the NBA Hall of Famer. Your once-in-a-lifetime experience tips off with Magic coming to YOUR town. You call the shots for this hour of the experience. Talk hoops, pick his brain on business or just have him hang out with your co-workers, family or friends. You'll then jet off to Los Angeles and head to the Staples Center where you'll try to beat the legend at his own game. GOOD LUCK! Win or lose, you'll enjoy a pregame dinner with Magic and 10 of your friends at an LA hot spot at the Lakers game. Your buddies will head to an all-inclusive VIP suite as you head down to the floor. Watch LeBron's pre-tip chalk throw up close, wink at Lakers fanatic Jack Nicholson and mingle with Magic the entire game while sitting courtside. End your dream day with a private tour of Magic's trophy room where you'll see five Larry O'Brien Trophies and NBA Championship rings, three NBA MVPs and more of his most prized possessions.”
That actually sounds like a pretty awesome experience, if you ask me. For this lucky winner, this is definitely an experience that he/she will never forget.
