Magic Johnson Reacts to Hall of Fame Induction of Top Sports Reporter

Oliver began her TV career in the 1980s before making her mark in sports reporting during the early 1990s. She became known most for her work as an NFL sideline reporter with Fox Sports, covering more than 500 games.

Oliver’s career includes multiple Super Bowls as well as interviews with many of the biggest names in the NFL. Her reputation has always been for professionalism and the ability to talk to players and entertain audiences.

Outside of football, Oliver also covered major events in basketball and track and field earlier in her career, giving her a very versatile resume in sports media.

Johnson’s congratulatory message to Oliver shows his continued presence in sports and business. Since retiring from the NBA, Johnson has built a large business portfolio, including ownership stakes in several major sports franchises. He is currently a co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB, the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA and the Washington Commanders in the NFL.

Off the field, Johnson has remained busy in community projects and health advocacy, while also often using his social media to talk about achievements across sports.

Oliver will be reporting from the sideline Sunday in Seattle for the Week 1 NFC West showdown between the Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET on Fox.
