You say championship, and Magic Johnson hears his name. Why wouldn’t he? The Lakers legend has built an unmatched collection of titles—not just on the basketball court but across multiple sports. With 17 championship rings to his name, Johnson continues to expand his legacy. And now, after Team Liquid’s latest win, he couldn’t help but flaunt his ever-growing collection.

“What an amazing addition to my collection! I’m now up to 17 championship rings: 11 with the Lakers, 1 with the Sparks, 1 with LAFC, 2 with the Dodgers, and now 2 with Team Liquid!” he wrote on social media.

After this esports triumph, Magic is celebrating another victory. His Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the championship, and during the team’s ring ceremony, he received his latest piece of hardware. But he wasn’t the only one in the Johnson household to take home some bling—his wife, Cookie, also got a ring. Proud as ever, Magic shared the moment on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into the special night.

“The Dodger’s ring ceremony last night was off the charts! Anthony Anderson did a wonderful job hosting, and the rings are beautiful, next level, and big with a lot of bling 🤩 My hat goes off to Dodgers Controlling Owner Mark Walters on the design of the ring,” he wrote.

Fans invoke $15 billion franchise to celebrate Magic Johnson

Clearly, Magic Johnson’s championship haul has left fans both amazed and amused. That’s why fans couldn’t resist drawing comparisons to one of the most iconic franchises in history. “Magic is the new Lord of the Rings? 😂 Congrats,” one fan wrote, while another dubbed him “The real Lord of the 💍.”

Given that J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary series revolves around powerful rings, the parallel seems fitting—except in Magic’s case, his collection just keeps growing. The Lord of the Rings franchise, spanning books, movies, and merchandise, has reportedly raked in $10 to $15 billion as per Money Inc., in 2020.

Not only that, some fans even tried to give context to how big this feat is. “Magic, you have more rings than fingers lol,” one fan joked, while another pointed out, “You have filled your fingers, and now you’ve almost completed the toes.” They’re not wrong—at 17 rings, he’s just three away from fully covering all fingers and toes.

And with the way his teams are performing, that number could rise soon. The Lakers strengthened their roster by adding Luka Doncic, making them a serious title contender. Meanwhile, The Athletic’s Jim Bowden believes Shohei Ohtani is poised to claim his fourth MVP award, which could push the Dodgers to another World Series win. If things go according to plan, Johnson might be looking at ring No. 18 before long.

But beyond the humor, fans also took a moment to appreciate Magic’s contributions to Los Angeles. “Thank you @MagicJohnson for restoring Dodger baseball and for all you’ve done for the city of LA. 💙🤍💜💛” one fan wrote, showing that his impact goes far beyond championships.
