Magic Johnson has taken to Twitter to reveal that he will no longer complain about the Los Angeles Lakers as it does no good, reports USAToday.
The NBA legend, who was five titles with the Lakers in his career, has criticised the team on a number of occasions throughout the last few years.
However, he’s now admitted that his complaining doesn’t help anyone at the Lakers and he’s fully behind the team.
Laker Nation: I’m going to stop complaining. I’m going to support and encourage Jim Buss and Coach D’Antoni because I love the Lakers!

It is not uncommon for players to talk about their former teams and even criticize them, but, with Johnson, the criticism was beginning to become so consistent, it seemed as if Johnson was going out of his way. Nonetheless, Johnson seems to have realized that he may have overstepped his boundaries:
Laker Nation: It doesn’t do the Lakers players, coaches or ownership any good for me to complain.
