Magic Johnson’s Obvious World Series Take Goes Viral Before Game 5

With the series tied 2-2, Game 5 in Los Angeles carries extra weight before a possible return to Toronto.

Overview

  • Johnson, a minority owner of the Dodgers, posted on X: “With the Series being 2-2, Game 5 is very important. Whichever team wins takes control of the Series!”
  • The message amassed over one million views by midafternoon, according to The Sporting News, aligning with his well-known pattern of plainspoken posts.
  • Social media users and brands piled on with jokes and parodies, including quips from Jon Root and a tongue-in-cheek post from QuikTrip.
  • Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman acknowledged the point by sharing it, giving a player’s nod to the obvious framing.
  • The Blue Jays and Dodgers are even at two games each, with Game 5 at Dodger Stadium before potential Games 6 and 7 in Toronto, heightening its strategic value.
