Magic Johnson is looking to round out his championship ring collection, this time with the Washington Commanders.
The bid the NBA legend is aiming to join was laid out in late March by billionaire businessmen Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales, fully financed at Daniel Snyder’s $6 billion asking price, according to ESPN.
Harris also owns the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils, and is a partner to David Blitzer in ownership of Crystal Palace Football Club (EPL).

Johnson already has an ownership stake in multiple franchises, most notably the Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB), Los Angeles Sparks (WNBA) and Los Angeles Football Club (MLS). He explained on the “Today” show Tuesday why he’s interested in adding the NFL to his portfolio.
“I got a ring in every sport, but I need a Super Bowl ring,” Johnson said, via Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post. “And I would love to be the owner of the Commanders to not only do great work on the field, but the work we could do with the city.”
