Johnson has expressed his utmost excitement for returning to NBA, most especially to the team that he started his career with. He played point guard for LA Lakers for 13 straight seasons and even nabbed NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award along with a championship back in the early years of his career. He retired as a player in 1996 but was a coach for LA Lakers, too, in 1994.

Buss said that he is thrilled and honored that they could make use of Johnson’s basketball expertise and skills in the team, making Buss and the fans ecstatic about this news as this can clearly help LA Lakers bring back its former glory. Johnson returning to the court as an adviser signals that there is a possibility that more influential players will be coming back to lend a hand to current NBA teams. Just like Michael Jordan, Johnson has been behind the scenes of NBA since he used to own LA Lakers until he sold it in 2010 and was the honorary vice president of the said team until just last year.
