Ever since he retired from basketball, Magic Johnson went into the world of business. Johnson owns all kinds of businesses, but sports remain his true passion. No matter how rich he is, he still attends Laker games when he can and he even commentates some games.

Magic Johnson is now in his 50s and he feels like going back to his roots. The former NBA star is working hard in an effort to get an NFL team back in Los Angeles. Outside of his NFL aspirations, Magic Johnson has been checking in on the Detroit Pistons.

The former championship contending team is currently up for sale. As a native of Michigan and being very wealthy, naturally, Johnson was interested in buying the team. If things go well, Magic Johnson will be the owner of the Pistons. But, it appears as if the team does not want to sell to him. For many years, Johnson has been a part-owner of the Los Angeles Lakers.

While Magic Johnson doubts he will ever own the Detroit Pistons, he is confident that he will end up being the owner of some NBA team. Magic Johnson does not know if he will be the majority owner of any team, but he knows he will have an ownership role in teams of many professional sports leagues.
