I got the chance to interview Magic Johnson at his official celebration to commemorate his purchase of the Dodgers.
It was a crowded Red Carpet, to say the least so I was lucky enough to catch a couple of the interviews for you here thanks to Inland Valley News and Secret Language.TV.
Also a thank you to Magic who did a special shout out to the US Veterans for me… Sweet – JW
