Following to this another NBA legend Magic Johnson also pays his tribute. He said, “I was really sad to hear the news that one of my boxing heroes, George Foreman, passed away. I attended so many of George’s championship fights over his career. He was a knockout artist in the ring, and it was a pleasure getting to know him not only as a boxer but as a man. After leaving the ring, he turned into an amazing businessman — I even bought one of the first George Foreman grills! Cookie and I will be praying for his family during this time.”
