The rivalry that changed the basketball history. In 1979 NBA draft both Magic Johnson and Larry bird entered which made this event one of the most significant events in basketball history. The two players were not only famous for their fierce rivalry on the court but also their good friendship off court. They had also showed us the greatness isn’t about individual achievements, but its about pushing yourself and those around you to be a better version everyday.
In 1979 was a classic Final Four championship with Bird against Magic. Michigan State won that memorable game. Then on to the NBA to continue their rivalry.
Yeah, remembering the highlight of that feels like it was yesterday. They both were special players no doubt.
The rivalry between these two was one of the best in history. And how both had a burning desire to win.
Their rivalry was not only limited to the court. It also extended to their respective teams Laker and Celtics. Most intense rivalry!!
