The Detroit Lions are hot right now, and everyone is noticing it. Of course, those in the sports world are taking the most notice.

On Tuesday (Dec. 20), Michigan basketball icon Magic Johnson tweeted his praise for the team. Johnson's tweet was specifically geared to receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and return specialist Kalif Raymond.

"I’m so happy for everybody in my home state Michigan! The @Lions are on a 3 game win streak, won 6 out of the last 7 games, & are one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL! I love the WR core especially my man @amonra_stbrown & @bigsgjamo. Plus Kalif Raymond has been 🔥!"
