Earvin Johnson III, or EJ, is one of Magic Johnson’s three children. Magic told TMZ the following about his son: “Cookie and I love EJ and support him in every way.”  Magic goes on, “We’re very proud of him.”

EJ feels the same way about his parents. He told TMZ that he has been ‘hoping and praying’ for the Dodgers ever since his father and business partners purchased the MLB team. EJ is also a massive Lakers fan, whom his father played for during his storied career.
