Magic Johnson kicks off his summer on yacht in Ibiza with ‘great friend’ Samuel L. Jackson
Magic Johnson seems to be on a roll lately. This summer, he went on vacation to Spain with some of his closest friends, including actor Samuel L. Jackson.
This week, the 64-year-old five-time NBA champion shared a series of snaps on social media of himself with his wife and crew from a rented yacht as they anchored off the Spanish party island of Ibiza.
āWe had a wonderful lunch at Juan Y Andrea Formentera with our friends, John and Vicki Palmer, Sam and LaTanya Jackson, and Cedric the Entertainer and his wife Lorna,ā Johnson posted on Instagram.
Together with his celebrity friends, he ate the catch of the day: fresh sea bass and lobster, while they had lunch on the beach.
āSo delicious!ā said Johnson.

The former Lakers point guard appears to be a fan of Spanish food, describing a previous meal with the Jacksons and Palmers in Barcelona as “the chef’s kiss.”
However, fans on social media ridiculed the three-time NBA MVP for sharing his extravagant lifestyle, a habit Johnson seems to have every summer.
One user commented under the former basketball player’s Instagram post: “Yes, I look forward to your vacation posts every summer. Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy.”
Someone else joked, āI look forward to āourā trip every year!ā
Someone else teased: ‘Ah, finally!! Should I get my popcorn, where are we going??’

Fans of the five-time NBA champion teased Johnson for sharing his luxurious life on social media
Last summer, the Johnsons shared snaps from their vacation in Greece, where they visited the islands of Santorini and Mykonos.
The former 12-time All-Star’s vacation comes just days after the Lakers drafted LeBron James’ son, Bronny, in the second draft of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The 19-year-old guard announced during his first press conference for the Lakers on Tuesday that he will wear number 9 for the purple and gold team.
He was introduced to Lakers fans along with the team’s first-round pick and guard, Dalton Knecht.
