“Had fun hanging out with your mom” – Magic Johnson’s questionable phrasing in heart-warming message to Stephen Curry has fans puzzled

Magic Johnson sent a heartwarming message to Stephen Curry for award, but made fans confused with his last line

Stephen Curry has won nearly every award during his 15-year NBA career. The last one missing was the PBWA Magic Johnson Award, but the Professional Basketball Writers Association just named him the winner. Understandably, Magic Johnson, whose name is on the award, sent a heartfelt message to Curry.

Congratulations to Stephen Curry on winning his second PBWA Magic Johnson Award honoring a player who displays "cooperation and grace in dealing with the media and fans" both on and off the court!

However, the last line has left netizens puzzled.

By the way Stephen Curry, I had fun hanging out with your mom last night at the Sparks home opener!
Magic Johnson’s message continued

Fans were appreciative of the first part of the message. It was a genuine appreciation for the work Curry has put in during this NBA season.

Stephen Curry endured a tough season with the Golden State Warriors. Despite besting last season’s regular season record, they were bumped out of the play in games. However, he displayed exemplary composure in front of the media and dealt with hard-hitting questions well. That is what resulted in this award.

On the other hand, Magic Johnson spent time with Curry’s mother Sonya, and Shaquille O’Neal‘s mother Lucille on their new show, Raising Fame. The first trailer suggests that he was part of one episode where his mother was on video conference speaking about him. But fans probably did not know this part.

Netizens confused over Magic Johnson’s message to Stephen Curry

Some netizens might not have had any clue about the show that Sonya Curry is hosting. Or that Magic Johnson was a part of it. Moreover, the show’s trailer was too early in the internet world for fans to notice. Which is probably why the last part of Johnson’s message left them puzzled. The former Los Angeles Lakers great is a friend of Stephen Curry but likes to banter with him too. Leading to a lot of discussions and trolls as well as negative messages to blow up the internet.

Fans threw all those variables through their reactions on social media. Check out some of those comments below:

Had fans known what the great Magic Johnson truly meant, it would not have led to the internet blowing up. But knowing his jovial nature, it is probable he did intentionally write that, knowing that fans will be clueless.
