Magic Johnson seems to be cruising in life lately, as he’s gone on vacation with some of his A-list friends, including actor Samuel L. Jackson, to Spain this summer.

This week on social media, the 64-year-old, five-time NBA champion shared some snaps of himself with his wife and crew from a yacht they seem to have rented while anchoring near the Spanish party island of Ibiza. 

‘We had a wonderful lunch at Juan Y Andrea Formentera with our friends, John and Vicki Palmer, Sam and LaTanya Jackson, and Cedric the Entertainer and his wife Lorna,’ Johnson posted on Instagram. 

He and his high-profile pals ate the catch of the day, fresh sea bass and lobster while having lunch on the beach. 

‘So delicious!’ Johnson said.

The former Lakers point guard seems to be a particular fan of Spanish food, having described a previous meal with the Jacksons and Palmers in Barcelona as the chef’s kiss.’

However, fans on social media mocked the three-time NBA MVP for sharing his lavish lifestyle, a habit that Johnson seems to have every summer.

A user commented under the former basketball player’s Instagram post: ‘Yes I look forward to your vacation posts every summer. Thanks for bringing us along. Enjoy.’ 

Another person joked: ‘I look forward to ”our” trip every year!’

Someone else teased: ‘Ah finally!! Let met get my popcorn where we going??’ 

Last summer, the Johnsons shared snaps of their vacation in Greece, as they visited the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. 

The former 12-time All-Star’s vacation comes days after the Lakers drafted LeBron James’ son, Bronny, in the second draft of the 2024 NBA Draft. 

The 19-year-old guard revealed that he will wear the No. 9 jersey for the Purple and Gold in his first Lakers press conference on Tuesday. 

He was presented to Lakers fan along with the team’s first round pick and guard, Dalton Knecht.
