Magic Johnson Warns LeBron about Durant and Giannis

LA Lakers legend Magic Johnson had a dire warning for LeBron James after Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA championship on Tuesday night.


It is undeniable that both Antetokounmpo and Durant are two of the best players in the NBA and are top contenders to be the best players in the league once LeBron retires in a few years. But you have to wonder why Magic is making this claim to LeBron. Many have speculated that he is trying to psyche King James up for another championship run after a disappointing first-round exit for the Lakers this year. What better way to light a fire under James than by warning him others are looking to take his spot?

This was the first season in a long time that didn't end with either James or the Golden State Warriors playing in the Finals. Things are obviously changing in the NBA as a younger generation of players takes over. Magic has a point there. But will anyone ever really take the throne from LeBron James?
