Serena Williams is extending her influence well beyond the tennis court.
The former world no.1 is getting scores of endorsements, and it seems that her future tennis-afterlife will be linked to being an entrepreneur.
Serena Williams and Magic Johnson
Johnson stepped down from his position as Lakers head of basketball operations last night.
The American legend was already under pressure during his tenure with the basketball team for missing out the post-season and for alleged players’ tampering.
According to reports, Johnson decided to accept a proposal from Serena Williams to comment
“Serena Williams called me about a week ago and asked me to mentor her and be on her advisory board, and I thought ‘yeah, I’m going to do that’”
Serena Williams management team didn’t release any comment about this.
The communicate from the Los Angeles Lakers
This was the statement from the prestigious franchise
“There is no greater Los Angeles Laker than Earvin Johnson. We are deeply grateful to Magic for all that he has done for our franchise – as a player, an ambassador and an executive.
We thank him for his work these past two years as our President of Basketball Operations and wish him, Cookie, Andre, EJ and Elisa all the best with their next steps. He will always be not only a Lakers icon, but our family.
As we begin the process of moving forward, we will work in a measured and methodical fashion to make the right moves for the future of our organization.”
