“Best Player on the Floor Tonight Was Neither.. Caitlin Clark or Angel Reese”: After Kim Mulkey Take Triggers Fans, Magic Johnson Makes Disagreeable Claim

March Madness has officially come to an end with the LSU Tigers lifting their first-ever NCAA trophy in the school’s history. The team went up against the Iowa Hawkeyes who were led by the National Player of the Year Caitlin Clark in the Final after previously defeating Virginia Tech in the Final Four. Despite Clark’s 30-point performance, LSU beat Iowa by 102-85 on Sunday. Shortly after the win, Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson took to Twitter to extend his congratulations to the new champions and gave his flowers to one particular NCAA star who, according to him, was the best player in the game.

Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark undoubtedly gave outstanding performances in their previous two games. The 21-year-old rising star led her team to the Final Four for the first time in 30 years while having a 41-point performance in two consecutive games. She capped off her historic tournament with 30 points.

Magic Johnson gives a shout-out to LSU guard

As fans celebrated LSU’s first NCAA victory, Hall of Famer Magic Johnson didn’t take long to share a post in the Tigers’ favor. According to one of his tweets, he believed that LSU possessed more talent than Iowa. In a second tweet, Magic became a little more specific and declared that he didn’t believe Caitlin Clark or Angel Reese were the best players.

The 5x NBA champion stated that it was Alexis Morris who deserved the flowers and credit for leading her team to victory. Morris dropped 21 points, two rebounds, and nine assists. Whereas Angel Reese added 15 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists.

Johnson also shared one other tweet to congratulate LSU head coach Kim Mulkey, who is not the most favorite public figure at the moment.

Johnson urges fans to ‘”show some love”

Kim Mulkey won her 4th NCAA tournament title on Sunday night and Magic Johnson was among the ones who praised the Hall of Famer for the big win. The Lakers legend wrote, “We have to give LSU’s Head Coach Kim Mulkey some love for winning her 4th NCAA Championship! With her win, she now has the 3rd most championship wins of all-time in women’s college basketball!”

The WNBA world heavily disagreed with Magic’s tweet as they called out Mulkey for her antics during the game and for her past comments. Mulkey could be found shouting instructions from inside the court. Moreover, she even bumped into the ref at one point, but nothing was given against her. This, on top of the controversial in-game calls, fans were not best pleased.
