Magic Johnson, the Lakers’ Hall of Famer and an entrepreneur, sat down with Los Angeles Times columnist Bill Plaschke for a one-on-one conversation about things past and present.

Without further adieu, take a listen to what the legendary playmaker had to say about the Dodgers’ current ownership situation (above) and about his interest in an NFL team playing in Los Angeles (below).

Magic’s biggest prediction? An NFL team for L.A. within two years. And he’d be interested in owning a piece of the Dodgers.
