LeBron James & Magic Johnson Supported Los Angeles Rams Legend Aaron Donald After Retirement

Los Angeles legends LeBron James and Magic Johnson were among many high-profile stars to show Rams star Aaron Donald Support after his retirement

Los Angeles Rams superstar Aaron Donald hung up his cleats last month, officially retiring from the NFL after a Hall-of-Fame career.

And while many Rams fans were saddened that the Donald era came to a close, he largely received overwhelming support at nearly every turn.

In fact, during an interview on 'Green Light with Chris Long', Donald revealed that he heard from some of the biggest names in L.A. Sports history, with Magic Johnson and LeBron James both among the star-studded names reaching out and sending their support.

“A lot of people reached out,” Donald told Long of his post-retirement experience. “Like, LeBron (reached) out. Magic Johnson reached out. (Kevin) Durant reached out. A lot of people that are great players and great in their era and did a lot of great things reached out just to congratulate me on my career. It’s pretty special, bro, when you think about how many people reached out. Warren Sapp reached out. A bunch of guys.”

Despite starting his career in St. Louis, Donald cemented his name as one the greatest sports figures in Los Angeles history. Certainly, that is a crowded field to join as well, with James and Johnson just two of a litany of legendary sports figures in the city's history.

Of course, names like Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Vin Scully, Clayton Kershaw, and many others certainly loom large.

Not to mention former Rams like Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen, Larry Wilson, and Eric Dickerson.

But even stacked up against all those names, regardless of the sport, Donald can hold his head high and rest assured that his name belongs near the top.
