About Magic/Bird

What Is the Story of Magic/Bird?
Magic/Bird traces the fascinating relationship on and off the basketball court between Los Angeles Lakers star Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Boston Celtics great Larry Bird, which began 30 years ago when they led their midwest universities to the 1979 NCAA Championship game. The two went on to dominance in the NBA, winning three MVP awards apiece and a combined eight NBA titles. Though sharing Midwestern roots and following the same team-oriented philosophy, the introverted Bird (from the small town of French Lick, Indiana) and the extroverted Johnson (from industrial Lansing, Michigan) couldn't be more different in personality. But during their illustrious NBA careers, Johnson and Bird, went head to head, electrified the nation, reinvigorated the NBA, and turned their rivalry into the greatest and most famous friendships in professional sports.
