Tuesday marks Magic Johnson's 59th birthday. The Los Angeles Lakers' president of basketball operations posted a video this afternoon of his celebration with loved ones. It was hard to make out what exactly was going on, though, because the footage was so blurry—it looks like it was taken on an old flip phone.
Second-year Lakers guard Lonzo Ball had a perfect response to the grainy video.
It looked like a good time, from the little we can gather.
Lonzo probably feels emboldened to joke with Magic now that he knows he won't be packaged in a deal for Kawhi Leonard. Leonard made it clear he wanted to join the Lakers, and the Lakers attempted to work out a deal with the San Antonio Spurs, but the Spurs reportedly wanted nearly all of L.A.'s assets in return.
As a rookie, Lonzo averaged 34.2 minutes, 10.2 points, 7.2 assists, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. He'll celebrate his 21st birthday in October—and we're guessing any footage recorded that night will be of a higher quality than Magic's.
