LeBron James will face the Lakers on Christmas Day, and Magic Johnson has a clear message for the home crowd: hold the boos.
The Lakers legend told TMZ Sports that fans should show appreciation for the four-time champion's contributions to the franchise.
James left Los Angeles to join the Philadelphia 76ers, making his return to Crypto. com Arena a highly anticipated matchup.
The game also marks the first time James will play against his son, Bronny, adding extra intrigue to the Christmas showdown.
Despite the split, both sides have remained cordial, with James and the Lakers exchanging kind words after his departure.
Magic believes the fanbase should acknowledge everything James accomplished in purple and gold, even if he's wearing a visitor's jersey.
