Happy birthday to my son EJ! I love you, and you are so special in so many ways. Thank you for changing the world!

I had an awesome time at Google this morning! A big thank you to Amin Vahdat - Chief Technologist, Senior Vice President of AI and Infrastructure for inviting me to speak to over 500 members of his leadership team. I had a blast!

What a very very entertaining Game One! Jalen Brunson was too much to handle for the Spurs tonight, scoring 13 of his 30 points in the 4th quarter! It was a great coaching move by New York Knicks Head Coach Mike Brown to put Landry Shamet on the floor in the 4th quarter. His 3-point shooting ability gave Brunson more room to operate. Josh Hart played with heart tonight, leading both teams in rebounding with 15 boards, 4 big steals and 6 assists!

The Spurs just played too much isolation basketball in the 4th quarter, and it was a key reason they lost.

NEW YORK STRIKES FIRST IN SAN ANTONIO 🗽

BRUNSON & THE KNICKS TAKE GAME 1 ON THE ROAD 🍿

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

What team will be affected the most? The Knicks because of their 8 days off, or the Spurs only having 3 days off after a grueling 7 game Series before Game 1?

This is set to be one of the most watched NBA Finals because both teams peaked at the right time and got hot in the Playoffs!

And for the Knicks, I’m wondering who’s going to guard Victor Wembanyama. They won’t have as easy of a time on offense due to the much better defensive ability of the Spurs compared to their previous matchups against the Hawks, 76ers, and Cavaliers.

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

Victor Wembanyama dominated the paint on defense during the Series against OKC while playing in a zone, but that won’t work against the Knicks given the 3-point shooting ability of Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby.

I want to congratulate Victor Wembanyama on winning the Earvin “Magic” Johnson Trophy as the new Western Conference Finals MVP!

San Antonio Spurs forward-center Victor Wembanyama is the recipient of the Earvin “Magic” Johnson Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the 2026 Western Conference Finals.

I want to congratulate San Antonio Spurs Head Coach Mitch Johnson, superstar Victor Wembanyama, and the entire Spurs organization for advancing to the NBA Finals!

I can’t wait to watch Game 7 of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs tonight on NBC. This game is must see TV!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

My Los Angeles Sparks get their 3rd straight road victory tonight over the Washington Mystics 92-87! They were led by Erica Wheeler who scored 14 of her 21 points in the 4th quarter, Nneka Ogwumike finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds, Cameron Brink continued her excellent play with 16 points, and Dearica Hamby scored 14 points.

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

Game 6 of the San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder was total domination by the Spurs in every area - defense, offense, rebounds, intensity, and physicality! The new face of the NBA, superstar Victor Wembanyama, delivered tonight with 28 points and 10 rebounds and set the tone with aggressive play on both ends of the floor. Their 20-0 run in the 3rd quarter is something you don’t see often, and the Thunder couldn’t respond to stop the blowout. This series has definitely made a massive impact on the NBA worldwide!

NOT DONE YET!

I want to congratulate New York Knicks Head Coach Mike Brown, superstar Jalen Brunson, star Karl Anthony Towns, and the entire Knicks organization for advancing to the NBA Finals after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

Oh, and a fun fact - I played against Mitch Johnson’s dad, Seattle SuperSonics superstar John Johnson in the Western Conference Finals back in 1980!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

The San Antonio Spurs were outstanding on defense tonight, holding NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to 19 points in their victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Victor Wembanyama dominated the game with 33 points, but what really impressed me was his leadership and how he communicated with his teammates throughout the entire game. I also have to show some love and credit to Spurs’ Head Coach Mitch Johnson, who had a great game plan and made major adjustments from Game 3 to Game 4. The Series is now tied 2-2 and I can’t wait for Game 5 on Tuesday!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

It was a great sports day for me! My Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 11-3! Go Dodgers!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

The New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-108 and go up 3-0 in the Series. I was disappointed in the Cavaliers effort and body language tonight. There’s no way you’re at home, down 2-0 to the Knicks, and come out with a lack of effort and urgency.

The Knicks are on their way to the NBA Finals playing their best basketball, which is going to be trouble for the Oklahoma City Thunder or the San Antonio Spurs!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

My Los Angeles Sparks beat the Aces on the road in Las Vegas 101-95! They were led by Sparks superstar Kelsey Plum with 38 points, but it was a total team effort. Dearica Hamby and Cameron Brink both had 16 points, and I was very impressed with Brink’s play tonight - she will be a key player for us to have a good season! Ariel Atkins had 11 points, Rae Burrell and Erica Wheeler both scored 10 points and Wheeler hit a big three pointer down the stretch to seal the win for us. What makes this win so special is that they did it without a big part of their team, Nneka Ogwumike, who did not play tonight.

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

The Oklahoma City Thunder showed us all exactly why they’re the Champions tonight! They were down 15-0 to the San Antonio Spurs in the first couple minutes and came back to win the game 123-108. OKC had six players in double figures with big contributions from their bench - Jared McCain had 24 points, Jaylin Williams had 18 points and the NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished a good game with 26 points!

I thought the Spurs lost their cool a little bit tonight and that hurt them.

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

The New York Knicks 109-93 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers proved that the Knicks can win a NBA Championship! Tonight they showed that they can win even when Jalen Brunson doesn’t have a big game - the entire Knicks starting five finished with double figure scoring led by Hart’s 26 points. The Knicks lead the Series 2-0!
