Johnson made quite an entrance with the GOAT, who played seven-plus seasons of his historic NHL career for the Kings. The video of them entering together was shared by a popular Twitter golf page, NUCLR GOLF, and it wrote, “Major Flex — DJ arrives with The Great One at LACC. #USOpen2023.”

It indeed was a flex, and we are here for such boastful moments!
