For decades, Magic Johnson has been the face of success, both on and off the court. From five NBA championships to building a business empire, his journey remains nothing short of iconic. But even with all that, what seems to matter most to him now is family. These days, Magic appears more passionate about making memories than breaking records. And how does he do that? Well, it all starts on a million-dollar yacht floating somewhere along the European coast.

Every summer, Magic and his wife Cookie host their annual couples’ yacht trip. This year, it kicked off in Venice with gondola rides, rooftop dinners, and sunset views. He wrote, “Cookie and I had a spectacular day on vacation in Venice, Italy where we rode on the gondola, went shopping, and spent time sight seeing!” From there, they cruised to Croatia, then Sicily, Greece, and even Capri, hosting friends like the Peetes and Winfields. His post from Taormina read, “Cookie and I are so excited our friends Rodney and Holly Peete and John and Vicki Palmer joined us.” But it’s not just the exotic destinations that grab attention.

It’s the constant updates. Magic keeps his fans in the loop with photos of dinners, toga parties, and decked-out outfits. As the vacation wound down, he posted a few more pictures: one with Cookie, another alone on the yacht, and finally, a full family photo. Alongside that, he shared, “We had a great time and enjoyed some great food today at La Guérite in Cannes, France!”

Just a couple of hours earlier, he’d shared a thoughtful goodbye to the trip, naming every family member in a warm caption. “Cookie and I are so happy we’re closing out our vacation with family time – including our kids Andre, EJ, Elisa, daughter-in-law Lisa and our grandkids Gigi and Avery!” From Monaco to Cannes, every moment was documented. Fine dining, themed parties, and coastal strolls were all part of this summer’s travel diary. But it seems that some of the fans have had enough of the vacation updates, and they are not shy about letting it be heard.

Not everyone’s on board with Magic Johnson’s endless getaway

While Magic Johnson was soaking up the sun off the coast of Europe, some fans were scrolling with a raised eyebrow. The vacation looked luxurious, the smiles were wide, and the dinners? Always fine. But for a few followers, the constant flow of yacht updates was starting to feel more like déjà vu than delight. One user joked, “IG gotta start limiting the number of magics post per week 😂”. It was a playful nudge that captured a growing feeling among fans.

Others didn’t just want fewer posts; they wanted Magic to return to basketball. One netizen even pleaded for him to join the management of the Lakers once again. He wrote, “@magicjohnson is time for you to come Back, @lakers need you, we need you, is maybe the last year of @kingjames we need a team for win we need you back.” It came at a time when the Lakers are in flux. LeBron James, now 40, is reportedly frustrated after being left out of talks about Luka Doncic’s arrival and the $10 billion franchise sale. It seems while Doncic was in the loop, LeBron was kept in the dark.

Fans also didn’t shy away from throwing serious shade. One asked, “Are you vacationing off of ICE money? Like your partner @mark_walter?” What’s this about? Well, it’s not only a jab at Johnson, it even brings his business partner, Mark Walter, into the conversation. He was hinting at Walters’ connections with private prisons, for which he received a lot of backlash from Latino fans recently.

And just when it seemed like the trip was winding down, a comment summed it up with one line: “And was just there 2 weeks ago as well!” That remark echoed the sentiment many shared: this vacation seemed to go on forever. Another user followed up with, “The never ending vacation,” sealing the mood with just four words. Not everyone is against the fun, of course. But when the comments start piling up like that, it’s clear some followers are not loving the constant updates.
