Joel Embiid, Billie Jean King, James Harden, and more sports celebs react to Dodgers' nailbiting win over Blue Jays in World Series Game 3

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the 2025 World Series with a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. The game ended in the bottom of the 18th inning, courtesy of a walk-off homer from Freddie Freeman.

Baseball fans were on the edge of their seats as the game spanned almost seven hours. Several celebrities from the sporting world showed their love for baseball on X after Freeman clinched the game for the Dodgers.

"Walk-off home run! Amazing [Freddie Freeman]," Billie Jean King wrote.

King is a minority owner of the Dodgers. Earvin "Magic" Johnson, a part-owner of the team, also reacted on X. While King hailed Freeman, Johnson's praise was directed to Shohei Ohtani and the pitchers.

"Shohei Ohtani hits two HRs in Game 3 against Toronto! Words just can’t explain how great he is!" Johnson commented. "Dodger Nation, every single relief pitcher was outstanding in Game 3 and helped to put us in position to win the game in the 18th inning against Toronto!" he added.

Yankees legend CC Sabathia praised relief pitcher Will Klein, who was among the heroes of the victory, along with Freeman and Ohtani.

"Unbelievable performance from Will Klein!! 72 pitches in the World Series extras after never throwing more than 30 ever…4 scoreless innings in a postseason winning debut…October hero salute 🫡," Sabathia wrote.

Philadelphia 76ers' big man Joel Embiid paid close attention to the game. Since he had to play on Tuesday, Embiid wanted the game to finish as soon as possible.

"I have a game tmw… let’s end this! LOLWHAT A GAME!!!! [MLB]," Embiid wrote.

Shortly after Embiid's prayer, Freeman hit the home run, resulting in the former NBA MVP praising the Dodgers' first baseman.

"OMG LETS FREAKING GO!! Freddie," Embiid commented.

Embiid's fellow NBA colleagues, such as James Harden, Kevin Huerter, and Donovan Mitchell, also commented on the game.

"FREDDIE FREEEEEMAAAAAAN!" Harden reacted. "Thank you Freddie Freeman 😂," Mitchell reacted. "Freddie is inevitable," Huerter reacted.

Harden currently plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. Donovan Mitchell is the star player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Huerter is a shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls.
