In the NBA, time moves like a comet—fast, fiery, unforgettable. The Conference Finals stage has arrived, even though October 2024 feels like it just passed. Through bruises and brilliance, thirty teams gave it all, and now, only four remain. In the East, the Pacers gear up for a clash with the Knicks this Wednesday. First, the West takes the spotlight as the Timberwolves meet OKC. But just before the action exploded, NBA icon Magic Johnson stepped in with a prediction that turned heads.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has his priorities sorted before the mega clash. He has delivered his verdict for the Conference Finals. The 65-year-old tweeted: “I have the New Knicks beating the Indiana Pacers and the Minnesota Timberwolves beating the Oklahoma City Thunder to advance to the NBA Finals!” An NBA Finals between the Knicks and Wolves would mean a massive face-off between Anthony Edwards and Jalen Brunson. The two best guards in the league!

Besides, on the day the Knicks took down the Celtics, Johnson didn’t hide his celebrations; he dropped two tweets: “Congratulations to New York Knicks Coach Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks players, and the entire organization for advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals!” And another one analyzing the game and giving the Knicks that edge against the Cs.
And interestingly enough, the NBA community isn’t shutting out Magic Johnson’s predictions. The 2025 Playoffs have been anything but predictable. Therefore, if miracles do happen nothing will be shocking!
