Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, during an episode of his HBO show, “The Shop,” talked about his initial reaction upon learning about Magic Johnson's abrupt resignation as the organization's general manager.

When James was a free agent last summer, the Los Angeles Times reported Johnson made the final push to urge James to don the purple and gold. James revealed that when his friend Randy Mims shared the news that Johnson was stepping down, it left him in shock.
