Magic Johnson is leaving ESPN.

Wilbon out, but Bill fukkin Simmons gets to breathe on live TV? I can't stand that CAC. Magic was bad, but Simmons just annoys me throwin all those useless "Moneyball" stats and slow developing, dry ass jokes in there. He also looks/seems so awkward on the set with everybody else imo.
I really think they should let Tim Legler get a shot and get a dedicated host. Passing that shyt around from segment to segment wasn't working.

you could tell Magic hated his guts right off the rip when during their first telecast he threw out the "you didn't play the game" card.

And he didn't say it to Bill's face too. He said it to Jalen like "This guy didn't play the game." as if Bill wasn't even in the room. Even more disrespectful. The two of them were never gonna work.

THe one member of that crew that had to stay was Jalen. And since Jalen and Bill are good buddies now, getting rid of Wilbon/Magic was a forgone conclusion.

We all knew that Magic wasn't feeling Simmons. Magic was a great player but analyzing is not his forte.

nikka he got them to give him his own website with considerably less restrictions than on the real ESPN website. How is that shocking?

It's play or get played. When he first got to ESPN Jalen did every TV show he could just to survive. Now he's got a permanent gig. Respect the hustle.
