Magic Johnson called his shot Thursday night, and he wasn’t shy about it. “The Dodgers are going to win the World Series this year,” Johnson said. The Dodgers, with the best record in the major leagues, are trying to win the World Series for the first time since 1988. The Lakers, with Johnson as the newly installed president of basketball operations, have not won the NBA Finals since 2010. Johnson won five NBA titles as a player with the Lakers.
