[Saba Sports News] Magic Johnson’s congratulatory message to Steph Curry for winning the 2023-24 PBWA Magic Johnson Award unexpectedly went viral due to an unintended humorous twist. Curry, who beat out Bam Adebayo, DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gobert, and Tyrese Haliburton, was acknowledged by Johnson for his excellent rapport with the media and fans.
In his post on X, Johnson not only celebrated Curry’s second award win but also mentioned,
“By the way [Stephen Curry], I had fun hanging out with your mom last night at the Sparks home opener!”
While Johnson’s comment about spending time with Curry’s mother, Sonya, at a basketball event was likely innocuous and genuine, it amused fans who read it as a playful jab. This added line captured the attention of the online community, adding a lighthearted twist to the congratulations.
