Magic Johnson wasn't too pleased to see the Celtics win their 18th championship.
That didn't sit too well with Magic Johnson, who, as he so often does, weighed in with some thoughts after the game.
Johnson admitted defeat, for now, in terms of the battle of banners between the L.A. and Boston, though he made it clear he wasn't happy about it. "I hate that the Celtics officially have more championships than us now," wrote Johnson on X, formerly Twitter, along with an eye-rolling emoji.— Earvin Magic Johnson The 2024 NBA Finals are the Celtics' first championship since 2008. The Lakers last won a ring in 2020.
Of course, those two franchises dominated the earlier days of the league. From 1957 to '69, Boston went on a historic run during which they won 11 championships in 13 seasons, including eight straight from '59 to '66. The Lakers won five of the first six championships in league history and enjoyed a three-peat in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Now that Boston has once again surpassed L.A. in terms of NBA championships, Johnson seems eager to see the Lakers even things back up.Karl Rasmussen is a writer on Sports Illustrated’s Breaking & Trending News Team.
