A former employee of Magic Johnson says the basketball legend fired her for being seven minutes late to work a delay she blames on his request for a turkey sandwich.
Lanita Thomas filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court this week saying her dismissal over tardiness was actually a pretext for ageism. She is 45 years old.

I would put in language such that all personnel shall be let go at the end of a year, and then freshly re-hire any that did an exceptionally good job.
Hi jet, his choice. Mind you, I have ZERO respect for this AIDS infested, whore millionaire ex-basketball player, but he has the right to hire and fire based on whatever criteria he so desires. None of my business either way.
I would pick Bird, because he did not show the propensity to live a wanton lifestyle and get infested with preventable diseases that would shorten his career.
We need pics to determine guilt or innocence.
I didn’t know that. Wikipedia says its some sort of red licorice made in California. Who eats this stuff besides the elite mentioned above?
Thanks! I’ve learned something new today.
Sounds like he treated her like a slave? Where did he make all his money other than charities? He was near bankruptcy when he left the league.
So then...that begs the questions "how is that different than Sterlings situation? It is HIS team right? He should be able to hire and fire who he wants."
Magic owes me money due to income inequity.
If in the contract of hire it states that she must be of looks that promote arousal with expected completion of servicing for the customers then she was terminated under proper contractual conditions.
So what, his friend Obama has one too!
We all know Johnson will end up owning the team.
When Magic Johnson was asked, who is the best player in the N.B.A., he humbly (in my opinion) said, “Larry Bird on the ground and Michael Jordan in the air”.
Larry’s last three seasons were really hampered by pain, but he simply played at a level that disguised it. If you go to his first three seasons...he transformed the way that the NBA was playing. He made the other Celtics better players than what they would have ever achieved. They weren’t just average or great...they were as legendary as Larry himself. You look around today, and what you see is a wasteland. No ticket in the NBA should be valued at more than $15...it’s ‘AAA-league’ stuff.
Licorice sticks
As my 88 year old dad calls him, HIV Johnson. (But then, he’s a Wolverine so he was never fond of him).
Red licorice “is for elites”??
What planet are you from?
Last time I checked, it was Earth. You could fill a book about what I don’t know :)

It’s red licorice. We have eaten it over the years. When our kids were young it was much more prevalent in our house than now.
