"What you've got here though, is a testament to the power of fame. And a testament to the power of a modicum of charm. Because Magic Johnson is charming. But, Magic Johnson was given a late night television show, because he's famous and charming. Failed in 11 shows. Magic Johnson was given a head coaching job of the Lakers, because he's famous and charming, failed in 16 games. Magic Johnson, not interesting as a broadcaster, given broadcasting opportunity after broadcasting opportunity, because he's famous and charming. And now, he gets to run the entire Lakers organization because he's famous and charming. That's amazing. That's amazing. He's a very kind man, to be in his presence is to be awash in all the things people like about celebrity, he will make you feel special, but he wasn't good at any of those jobs I just mentioned, and he got all of those jobs, bypassing a whole lot of people who are more qualified, because he's famous and charming."
