NBA Fans Roasted Magic Johnson for His Very Obvious Statement About the NBA Finals /

In this story:

The Heat punched their ticket to the NBA Finals with a dominant Game 7 win on the road over the Celtics on Monday night.

Jimmy Butler and the Heat now head to Denver where they will face Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets, who have been resting since sweeping the Lakers last week, in Game 1 on Thursday night.

Speaking of the Lakers, the legendary Magic Johnson weighed in on the NBA Finals in classic Magic Johnson form, stating the obvious about the Heat-Nuggets matchup. If you follow Johnson on Twitter then you know that he mostly just tweets the most obvious things about games and NBA topics.

That’s exactly what he did here:

The NBA Finals will feature the two players who dominated the NBA Playoffs this year, Nikola Jokić and Jimmy Butler.
