The NBA schedule on April 3 will feature the marquee matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, with both teams aiming to secure a direct spot in the Playoffs. As the tension builds, a legend like Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson began to heat up the rivalry with a message for Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and company.

In the possibility of signing a star like Luka Doncic, Jeanie Buss, the owner of the Lakers, didn’t hesitate, metaphorically pulled the trigger, and made one of the biggest trades in history. Since then, the Los Angeles team has accumulated 14 wins and 8 losses, securing the fourth spot in the Western Conference.

The case of the Golden State Warriors is very similar. When it seemed the season was lost, being in elimination positions, they made the trade for Jimmy Butler and will enter the game against the Los Angeles Lakers with a record of 19 wins and 4 losses when the shooting guard is on the court.

‘Magic’ Johnson, who was a five-time NBA champion, started to hype up the Lakers vs. Warriors game on Thursday, April 3 at 10:00 PM ET at the Crypto.com Arena with the following message on X: “I’m so excited to watch LeBron vs. Steph tomorrow when the Warriors face my Lakers in a game both teams must win with playoff implications!”

Ahead of what Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors will face when they take on the Lakers, Earvin Johnson made one thing very clear with a strong message. “I’m really excited about the excellent play from our bench lately. Both Gabe Vincent and Dorian Finney-Smith hit six three-pointers and finished with 20 points in the win against the Rockets. If they keep hitting threes at that rate, the Lakers will have a major role in the Playoffs,” Magic posted.

Who has more NBA titles, Stephen Curry or Magic Johnson?

Magic Johnson was one of the first to prove that in the NBA, you could play and win while putting on a show. One of the most talented point guards of all time, Magic has one more title than Curry, winning five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers. ‘The Chef’ has also won all four of his titles with the same team, the Warriors.
