Before anything else, you have to note that it's not very often that Magic Johnson makes use of emojis in his tweets. Well, he was so blown away by Irving that he had two use two emojis. Imagine that.

At the end of the day, Magic Johnson is a fan of the sport and he just wants to see the best players compete for the biggest prize there is. Clearly, the Lakers icon considers Kyrie Irving to be in that mold.
