Magic Johnson Twitter Rant: Lakers Icon Calls Out Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Mike D'Antoni

Like all fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, Magic Johnson is frustrated by the team's uneven start to the season. Unlike the vast majority of Lakers fans, Magic knows that his voice -- and perhaps his tweets -- can get the attention of the players.

With a loss to the Nuggets on Sunday having dropped the Lakers' record to 15-18 and a report of infighting a hot topic of conversation on Monday, Magic vented about the team on Twitter.
