Larry Bird and Magic Johnson - One of the most storied rivalries in sports history became so ingrained in popular culture that it was even recreated as a Broadway show called “Magic/Bird”.
Starting in the late 1970s, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did legendary battles on the basketball court, first electrifying the NCAA’s March Madness tournament and then igniting a beleaguered NBA.
Before they were enemies, they were All-American teammates for 5 days, thrust against teams from the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Yugoslavia at the 1978 World Invitational Tournament. At the time, Bird and Magic were second-stringers on the U.S. squad.
But few predicted the duo would soon explode as college stars, professional rivals, and later on, close friends. That odyssey only added to their lore.
