Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson turned into a figure of fun for the NBA world today. Using Twitter to share his hot takes on NBA basketball, Johnson’s latest tweet to support his “fellow Spartan” players made him the laughing stock on the internet. Minutes after sharing his expectation for the Golden State Warriors, the five-time NBA champion went on to share a ridiculous tweet that lead to fans hilariously calling him out.
Without going too much into detail, Magic loves to tweet his opinion about NBA stars and teams. While fans appreciate his honest and simple takes, his latest tweet left fans a little surprised. His attempt at showing love to Michigan star Draymond Green went in vain.

Green stole the spotlight this week after an unexpected physical play got him in trouble. After a late ejection in game 2 against the Sacramento Kings, the NBA decided to suspend the four-time champion for one game. While the league’s decision is creating chaos with several stars and analysts sharing their takes, Magic Johnson seems to have no idea about it.
After game 2, Johnson had taken to Twitter to appreciate the Kings for their impeccable home performance to take a 2-0 series lead. Leaving a warning note to the Warriors, Johnson mentioned, “Warriors were awful all season on the road, and Sacramento isn?t afraid of Golden State.”

However, considering his latest tweets, it seems like the three-time MVP is totally unaware of Green’s ejection. Johnson tweeted, “Let me give all of my fellow Spartans in the Playoffs some love!.. I want to also shoutout the most famous Spartan playing today with 4 championship rings Draymond Green”.?Though Johnson has been active on Twitter, especially about the playoffs, the 63-year-old failed to make a note of Green’s suspension.?
I expect the World Champion Golden State Warriors to win both games at home and make this an even series starting tonight against the Sacramento Kings!
