Two days after Magic Johnson stepped down as the Lakers’ president of basketball operations, LeBron James spoke about the way Johnson chose to resign like it was a betrayal.

“I came here to be a part of the Lakers organization, having a conversation with Magic and really kind of breaking it down and saying how we was gonna make this Showtime again, and I wanted to be part of that process,” James said during an episode of his HBO show “The Shop,” which aired Saturday but was taped April 11 in the aftermath of Johnson’s decision.
