Magic spent his first four years in LA in an apartment somewhere on Green Valley Circle. Longtime team owner Dr. Jerry Buss owned the building and put a number of Lakers up for discounted rates. For years, Earvin “Magic” Johnson was the face of the Los Angeles Lakers—and easily one of the most popular public figures in the city. Now, it appears that (for better or for worse) Johnson will return to the team, this time as its President of Basketball Operations. In honor of the big news, we’re updating our map of some of the LA locations that have shaped his legacy over the years.
