Magic Johnson drew some attention from fans on Twitter Sunday with his killer NBA playoffs analysis.
Magic seemed to be watching the two playoff games on Sunday and offered commentary after each one. He was particularly impressed with Kawhi Leonard’s 39-point performance in Toronto’s 101-96 road win over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
I don’t know who will win the series with Toronto’s victory over Philadelphia to even it up, but I do know that Kawhi Leonard has been dominating the series and put on a show today scoring 39 points!

The series between the Raptors and Sixers is tied 2-2, and Magic is not sure who will win.
Johnson later offered thoughts after the Denver Nuggets’ 116-112 win at Portland to even their Western Conference semifinals series 2-2. He was impressed by Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.
Jamal Murray scored 6 straight free throws in the closing seconds and had a game high 34 points to lead the Nuggets over the Trailblazers!

Nikola Jokic has really caught my eye with his 2 triple doubles in this series against Portland!

Although the Lakers will miss his services as president of basketball operations since he resigned, his departure is NBA Twitter’s gain. This is a big win for the NBA analysis community.
