Magic vs. Bird
1979 NCAA Final
"It;s the one thing I'll never get over"
- Larry Bird
40 years ago tonight, a legendary basketball rivalry was born. Michigan State, led by sophomore Earvin "Magic" Johnson, defeated Larry Bird's undefeated Indiana State Sycamores in the NCAA Tournament final.
Five years later Bird would exact revenge with the Celtics' 1984 NBA Championship victory over Johnson's Lakers. The rest is history,
Michigan State 75, Indiana State 64. Salt lake City, Utah.
