Johnson was with the Lakers for 13 seasons and he led them to five NBA Championships.

He also shared more posts with his thoughts on the game.

Johnson: “Congratulations to the Boston Celtics Majority Owner Wyc Grousbeck, Coach Joe Mazzulla, their three leaders Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, and the rest of the team for winning the NBA Championship!”

Johnson: “Celtics GM Brad Stevens trading for Jru Holiday and Kristaps Prozingis was an MVP move that made the Celtics the best team in basketball this year! Adding Holiday made them the perimeter defending team in the league, and adding Prozingis made them the most explosive offensive and best starting 5 in basketball this year!”

Johnson: “Congratulations to Jaylen Brown on winning the NBA Finals MVP! 👏🏾🎉”

Johnson: “Joe Mazzulla really improved as a coach this season and had the Celtics prepared for every round of the playoffs, making all the proper adjustments on offense and defense.”

Johnson:”The Playoffs are a game of matchups, and the Celtics were too much of a challenge for the Mavs with all their depth. Their strengths outweighed the Mavs strengths and its the reason why they are Champions!”

The Celtics have won more championships than any other franchise in NBA history.

This was their first title since 2008.
