I remember when Dr. Jerry Buss was building the Showtime Lakers and searching for someone who could bring a unique presence to the organization as a PA announcer. He wanted a voice that was powerful, memorable, and distinct – that was Lawrence Tanter.

As someone who was both a fan and a friend of Lawrence when he was disc jockey on multiple jazz radio stations in Los Angeles, long before he stepped behind the Lakers microphone, I could not have been happier. For more than 40 years, his baritone voice was the sound of the Lakers franchise and he was an integral part of many Laker Championships, right alongside us players.

He will be missed by more than just Lakers fans, Lawerence will be missed by the entire jazz community who loved his music and velvet voice. Rest in peace my friend!

Today the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opened in Los Angeles’s Exposition Park! I want to thank George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson for creating this beautiful gift for the world to see.

I just had a good check-in call with our @Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels! I was happy to hear that he’s in good spirits, and I’m praying for a safe and healthy recovery 🙏🏾

Happy 35th anniversary to my forever love, Cookie. 35 years of you choosing me, building with me, and holding this family together with a grace I’ll never take for granted. You've been my partner in every real sense of the word…through the years that made the highlight reels and the ones that didn't.

"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." (Proverbs 31:29) That's you, in every season my love. I love you more today than the day I put your ring on your finger. Here's to many more years of loving you ❤️

Today, on the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack, I am remembering all of the victims and their families. We will never forget them and all of the incredibly brave men and women who risked their lives to help others during such a devastating time in our country. May God bless their families and loved ones!

“He’s not only the greatest owner in NBA history but he also has a strong argument for the greatest franchise owner in sports history.”

Words from Khobi Price in his latest article in the @nypost - and he’s exactly right! I 100% agree that Dr. Jerry Buss is the greatest franchise owner in sports history and deserves a statues in front of Crypto arena soon in his honor!

I had the honor of delivering the keynote yesterday afternoon at https://t.co/r4oDF3rjFB’s CoCreate 2026 - standing in front of 10,000+ founders, creators, and business leaders at the LA Convention Center to share my journey and the real lessons behind how to WIN in business.

I want to thank https://t.co/r4oDF3rjFB’s President Kuo Zhang for the invitation and for building a space where entrepreneurs come together to grow!

What a match! Tiafoe and Michelson just delivered the best tennis of the 2026 US Open so far. Down two sets, Tiafoe clawed back to win three straight and seal it in a tiebreak. I loved watching the fight from Tiafoe, and huge credit to Michelson too for some incredible tennis this afternoon! 🔥

I want to congratulate @MSU_Football’s new head coach Pat Fitzgerald on his first win with my Spartans as they defeated Toledo 30-20 last night! #GoGreenGoWhite

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

Congrats to @CUBuffsFootball on their win last night vs Georgia Tech! It was a pleasant surprise to hear Coach @DeionSanders say he wanted his QB to control the field like me in his post-game interview - what an honor to be mentioned!

I want to congratulate my good friend Stan Kroenke on becoming the new owner of MLB’s Los Angeles Angels! Stan has been a winner with his current teams - a Super Bowl Championship with the Rams, a Stanley Cup Championship with the Avalanche, and an NBA Championship with the Nuggets 👏🏾 I’m sure he will do the same with the Angels.

BTW- Cookie and I wanna thank Stan and his wife Ann for allowing us to rent their beautiful yacht named Aquila for 7 years!

My beautiful family at the Tigers vs Dodgers game this weekend. Evelyn, Pearl, Kim, Larry and his wife Jennifer and my Mom Christine - who is 91 btw!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

A big, big thank you to the owners of the Detroit Tigers, the Ilitch family, for taking care of my family during the Tigers vs. Dodgers series this weekend. My family said that the food and experience at Comerica Park were absolutely spectacular!

I also want to thank the Ilitch family for revitalizing downtown Detroit - between Comerica Park and Little Caesars Arena (home to the Red Wings and Pistons), they’ve brought so much life back to the city and created thousands of jobs along the way. And by the way, I never got the chance to tell them that I grew up eating Little Caesars pizza!

I want to congratulate my good friend Mike Greenberg AKA Greeny on being at ESPN for 30 years! May God continue to bless you and your family.

I want to personally thank everyone who contributed to the Legacy of Magic Gala hosted by the YMCA of Lansing this past weekend in Lansing, honoring my family and our impact in the city. It’s a true honor to have the YMCA I grew up in now be named after me and to have a beautiful mural of my family painted on the building! I have no doubt that Casey Thompson, President and CEO of the @YMCALansing and her team will continue to incredible work and change lives.
