Five-time NBA champion and Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson praised former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama for their speeches at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), calling them 'the best political speeches in the history of our country.'
Johnson, who is also part owner of the Washington Commanders, expressed his admiration on social media following the second night of the DNC in Chicago.
'Former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama gave the best political speeches in the history of our country. The powerful couple discussed working-class families, family values, and the importance of moving the country forward together. Their speeches were powerful, intelligent, compassionate, and filled with integrity,' Johnson wrote in a post on X.
'The Obamas energized the crowd for the Harris/Walz campaign leading up to the election and highlighted the reasons why Kamala Harris would make a strong President,' he continued in another post.
'What a special and phenomenal night for the 2024 Democratic National Convention!'
While Johnson's remarks resonated with many fans, some followers on social media appeared to disagree with his assessment.
