Mat Ishbia is in the process of purchasing the Phoenix Suns and the NBA world has thoughts on the impending sale.
Including Magic Johnson.
The NBA legend took to Twitter Tuesday to write a glowing post about Ishbia, a billionaire mortgage lender, telling other NBA teams to “watch out” for the Suns under his ownership.
“I had a great call with fellow Spartan Mat Ishbia congratulating him on his purchase of the Phoenix Suns,” Johnson tweeted. “He’s going to do great things not only for the Suns organization, but for the entire league. All of the other 29 NBA teams better watch out because Mat’s a winner!”
