- I can see that story really being true he really did terrorize college basketball he was a one-man Wrecking Crew out there Indiana State was just him basically that's what's amazing about it I've never seen another guy dominate college basketball like he did. And on top of that when he went to the Celtics they were the laughing stock of basketball the first year I think they made the biggest Improvement ever for a guy coming in the league that's what kind of impact he really made probably the most impact ever of an individual people can talk about best all-around basketball player Jordan Colby blah blah blah but Larry Bird really is as far as all around basketball

I was born in 1968. Got to see them in the 1979 national championship game. I feel so fortunate to have witness these two save the NBA. Can you imagine Larry nd Magic practicing and the caoch says practice is over and they say about the other one I know he is still working on his game. I can't leave yet because he is still practicing. They definitely lived rent free in each other's heads.

Magic and Bird together saved the NBA from tanking, it's a story Hollywood couldn't have scripted better, they both enter the NBA at the same time, one is white, one is black, Bird goes to the East side, Magic goes to the West side, both make their teams great, meeting each other three times in the NBA finals, both winning multiple awards during their luxurious career's, putting fans in the seat's selling out stadium's wherever they played on the road, the list just keeps going on and on, anybody that saw this from beginning to end was blessed to have saw it, you'll never see anything like it again in any sport, just wicked awesome!

Never was a bird fan in fact I hated the Celtics, all of’em every single one. It wasn’t until after Larry retired and the Celtics started to decline(yes, ha ha), the nineties were “birdless” finally. After he had left there was a void, not noticeable at first because we still had “air” Jordan & Pippen, Barkley, Wilkins, Ewing, Drexler, Olajuwon, Stockton & Malone, Shaq had just arrived and many others. But these guys and many others all played against Bird and to a man “toughest opponent ever” “pick a guy to win a game, Jordan…..pick a guy to take a shot to save my life, Larry Bird” - Pat Riley, Lakers head coach.

- Im not sure what you’re trying to say?? I firmly believe that Magic catching the disease jump started research into a cure. He was so loved, nobody wanted him to die…I think he MIGHT (no proof just a hunch) have invested $$$ toward research himself. I do know that around that time there was a real push toward finding a cure…and Magic & a few other high profile people like Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor & Michael Jackson were doing public relations & some education regarding AIDS…at the very least they were doing their best to de-stigmatize the disease.
