NBA legend Magic Johnson works hard and plays hard. A few months after acquiring an ownership stake in an NFL team, Johnson embarked on a journey to combine his three favorite things and have the time of his life. Johnson’s trip to Italy has been highly covered. It’s all thanks to the former Los Angeles Lakers player’s openness in sharing the highlights of his vacation with his fans via social media.

Johnson once again took to Twitter to share some new highlights from his trip to Italy.

One picture showed the legend holding two big melons in his hand whilst on a boat. The other two media perfectly capture the beautiful ambience of the Cliffside village of Positano, located in southern Italy.

Sharing the tweet with his 5.2 million followers, Johnson said, “Positano, Italy is so beautiful and they grow the biggest lemons I’ve ever seen in my life!” Looks like Johnson is certainly taking cartons of some immensely large lemons back home.

Johnson’s visit to the village is another stop as he and his wife, Cookie Johnson, continue their tour of the Mediterranean ports on their private yacht: the Phoenix II. The couple recently welcomed their children and grandchildren on the same boat as they joined the NBA legend on his trip.

Magic Johnson’s highlights about Positano come a few days after a vibe session with his wife and a prominent Marvel actor.

Johnson’s yacht has been dubbed as a ‘Soul Boat’ according to a banner. It was the host to a dance session that very same day. Cookie uploaded a few videos on her Instagram story that showed her husband standing in the middle of the crowd while the 1979 song Ring My Bell was playing in the background.
