Kelsey Mitchell’s reaction to a WNBA All-Star game question sparked so many Magic Johnson memes

Kelsey Mitchell Magic Johnson WNBA Fever

Kelsey Mitchell‘s unintentionally funny response to a recent question about the Fever hosting the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game is the gift that keeps on giving.

Of course, with the news this week that Indianapolis will host the All-Star game next year, Fever players were going to be inevitably asked their thoughts about it. But I’m not sure this is what the media had in mind when someone asked Mitchell for her opinion.

In a clip recently shared on social media, Kelsey, who will be a free agent after the season, seemingly hadn’t given the idea much thought and somewhat stumbled to come up with a response. Her answer totally gives the “that’s great for them” vibes, and I cannot stop laughing.

As the clip circulated on the internet, fans immediately noticed Kelsey’s reaction — which invoked shades of Magic Johnson — and generated so many splendid memes.
