Watch: Magic Johnson has learned his lesson about tampering rules

Magic Johnson has had such a difficult time keeping his mouth shut about players from other teams that his tampering charges have become something of a running joke in the NBA, but it appears that he might be learning his lesson.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ president was on hand to watch Murray State standout Ja Morant in the Ohio Valley Tournament on Friday night, but when talking to a reporter, he managed to keep the name out of his mouth because “they’re amateurs.”

See? He’s learning.

Johnson has been fined for tampering before and got caught up in another controversy recently, though he was cleared of any wrongdoing. Maybe the message has found its way through to him.
