Lakers legend Magic Johnson called out Russell Westbrook during the game against the Warriors, going as far as saying that his trade will be the worst in the history of L.A. if the team fails to make the playoffs.

The 33-year-old point guard finished the game with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, helping the purple and gold snap a four-game losing streak. Westbrook’s performance prompted a tweet from Johnson.

“I am so proud of Russell Westbrook! He was a big reason why the Lakers beat the Warriors, scoring 20 points tonight. That’s how the Lakers need him to play night in and night out! He played hard, was aggressive, and made good decisions on the court,” Johnson tweeted.
