While many fans remember Magic Johnson from his glory days with the "Showtime" Lakers teams of the 1980s, the 65-year-old has since become an accomplished businessman and entrepreneur.

The five-time NBA champion shared a post to his Instagram account on Thursday to provide some motivation to his followers.

Johnson's caption read, "You don’t need much motivation to workout with this beautiful backdrop!"

The video shows Magic walking on a treadmill as the drone camera pulls back to reveal his location. Johnson is aboard a huge yacht named Whisper, although it's unknown whether it's his vessel or a charter.

The Instagram reel then cuts to show the yacht from another angle, from the vantage point of striking cliffs and exposed rocks near crystal-blue shallows, which could be located somewhere in the Mediterranean.

With all the attention from Johnson's followers, one fan took special notice.

NFL legend Tom Brady congratulated Johnson's post by leaving a reply that read, "Yessir."

Brady and Johnson are connected indirectly in business, as they are both minority owners in several sports leagues.

Brady, along with Mark and Carol Davis, has ownership of the Las Vegas Aces. The former New England Patriots quarterback is also a minority owner of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders.

Magic, who is reported to have a net worth of $1.5 billion, is affiliated with the Los Angeles Sparks as part of a collective called Sparks LA Sports, which owns the franchise.

Johnson has developed countless businesses over the years. He is the CEO and chairman of Magic Johnson Enterprises (MJE), an investment company with a focus on working with underserved urban communities.

Founded in 1987, MJE also owns a portion of the NFL's Washington Commanders, MLB's Los Angeles Dodgers, MLS's Los Angeles FC and NWSL's Washington Spirit.
