Larry And Magic
As it usually goes with the best of the best, rivalries exist, some friendly, some solely competitive. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson played in college and in the pros during the same time, so it was only natural to be pinned up against one another. During their NBA careers, both played for two of the NBA’s biggest rivals, the Lakers and the Celtics. The two teams, and two friends, came head-to-head in the NBA finals three times. The player’s rivalry began when they were in College, Larry at Indiana, and Magic at Michigan State. The two teams battled it out at the 1979 NCAA Championships, Michigan taking the title with a final score of 75-64. This game is a very accurate representation of the two teams today, as Michigan State is one of the NCAA’s most dominant programs and as Indiana State has faded into a losing team.
