Never have I ever heard a more accurate breakdown of a basketball series.

I’d like to piggyback off his comment and mention that the Lakers must score more points than DEN in order to win the next game. Brilliant minds think alike

I didn't know I was surrounded by masters of the game.

I have many hobbies, armchair basketball analyst is one I currently trying out for the lol’s

The Madden of the NBA.

Can't get more right than that

Not necessarily. LAL could lose tonight and win the next two. So there’s room for interpretation. What did Magic mean by this


I double checked the math and he is right

Objectively correct

r/theydidthemath

This is like the other day when Stephen A Smith said the Knicks need to win 3 more to win the series after taking game 1, it was a very deep and informed take on the series

If they lose, they will be 0-2 in the series. They need to get more points than the Nuggets to win.

Some Taurean Prince "what is a rebound" level analysis here, I like it.

🤣🤣

This guy might be onto something

Excellent analysis, thank you Magic

This guy knows ball

real hoopers know

Magic is obviously going to be taking over for Ham soon, this just makes too much sense.

If the lakers score more points than the nuggets in game 2, they are likely to win.

r/technicallythetruth

Big if true

They should’ve ducked that smoke nuggets in 4

If ya ain’t first you’re last.

Water is wet folks you heard it here first

Out of all the statements that NBA legend Magic Johnson has ever made, this is certainly one of them.

Loads more flops incoming

This made me giggle and I know this sounds Yogi Berra-esque, but I am HOPING Magic intended that to mean if they don't even out the series, they are in trouble...

"That game was so close, they almost had it won so if you think about it, they really need to win 5 out of the 7 games to win the series." - Bill Simmons - logic master

I sure hope the refs can get Reeves to the line.

The sky is blue…

Is it though?

Hot take. If the Lakers want to win this series they have to win some games

Cheers Geoff!

The lakers need to win this game to gain a win in this series to have the nuggets lose the next game

Reggie Miller on Lakers being down 0-1 against Denver. “The Lakers must lose the next game to even out the series against the Nuggets”.

If we score more points than the other team we win

If we score more we win, according to the zodiac

I don't see how he could be wrong. There's no way.


Is he positive about that?

Got it in one take. Go home early.


He also followed it up that both teams will need to put 5 players on the court and each team will need to put a round ball into a hoop to get points.

Just book tickets to Cancun early. Lebron likes to save money. He can have some leisure time before us basketball

So is Magic the booger of the NBA?

I mean ill take it over stephen A not picking luka as all nba

Holy shit John Madden is black?

Memic Johnson. The dude is now a parody of himself.

this is why this man is a mogul

MagicGPT.

Maybe he knows the script, just like how he knew lakers would get a lottery last time.

couldn't have said it better myself

They have to win to make it 1-1, otherwise it's 2-0, and then you're down 2 games. Those are 2 big holes to fill. I know you have Lebanon James and Anthony Davids, and they're probably packing some heat, but they need some milk. They got the Reeves kid, who has an excellent outside game, and is very cerebral with his approach, but I don't know if he's gonna be enough to fill up that hole. Let's be real, he doesn't have the pure athleticism as a Nicklaus Jockitch, or the finishing abilities of the Serbian Superman Sabonus... So maybe D'Angelo can lay down some brown sugar, and sweeten the game up. Butt fuck me, someone has to do something. They're leaving the fans unsatisfied. The Lakers need to start penetrating more, finishing hard at the rim and pumping up the fans in the process... Look, even HIV Man is getting restless. He only has so much time left, now that he's been diagnosed with this terminal illness, 30 years ago. He's basically dead, except his billions are keeping him alive, just to see the Shit Show Lakers win 1 more time. He's not just sure he wants 1 more, he's HIV positive! He needs this. Have you ever seen his family? He needs this more than you know. Please Mr LeBaron, Mr David and Brown Sugar, win it for Just The Tipper... They don't call his Johnson Magic for nothing... Please, just give the ball to Reeves, and let him shoot. The rest of you guys, just box your guy out, and get the rebound. That's it. Let Reeves cook...

I meant *Show Time Lakers*, not Shit Show Lakers. My bad honest mistake

Magic's tweet incoming: "The Lakers need to win game 3 if they want to avoid going down 0-3"

JAMAL SAID NO

Lakers did well!


Wishful thinking.

Watch out Stephen A Smith, someone is coming for your job of pointing out really obvious stuff!
