Lakers legend Magic Johnson sends heartfelt Instagram post

Magic Johnson is one of the best players in NBA history.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend is still very active on social media (and in sports).

On Saturday, Johnson shared a warm post for his 3.7 million Instagram followers.

Johnson captioned his post: “33 years ago I made the best decision of my life by marrying the beautiful Cookie Johnson. I thank God every day for blessing me with my wife, best friend and loving mother to our wonderful children all in one! I am eternally grateful for your heart of gold, your unwavering love for our family and your irreplaceable presence in this world. Happy anniversary baby!”

Cookie also sent her own post.

Cookie captioned her post: “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

We thank God for bringing us together, for keeping us together and for growing our love into a love that resembles the unconditional love God has for us 🙏🏾❤️ Happy 33rd anniversary my love! 😘”

The couple married after Johnson played his 12th season with the Lakers.

During those 12 years, he led the Lakers to five NBA championships and won three MVP awards.

After a four-year absence, Johnson returned to the Lakers in 1996 for the final season of his NBA career.

In addition to his 13 years as an active player, the Basketball Hall of Famer also served as the franchise's head coach and president of basketball operations.
