    Magic is such a hypocrite. He partied and had orgies wgike playing. Luka didn’t have Kareem his rookie year

      Luka had Dirk his rookie year, then had Kyrie and now LeBron. And despite Magic having his “fun parties” He was always in shape

    Luka that guy! itโ€™s the finals and they still using his name for ratings ๐Ÿคฃ second alright we all know why Luka really got traded stop with this ownership didnโ€™t trust him they just got there they didnโ€™t own the team on the level they do now the whole time he was there so how would they know?? They avg Joe may believe that ๐Ÿคฃ but like i said we really know so find something else to get ratings instead of rehashing 6 month old lie ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    Of course it would be some unathletic white man that would be on Ja beef. They just be so jealous of us and itโ€™s really not funny. Ja has nothing to do with this. Why is his beef hanging out his mouth like that?
