The Stars Magic Johnson and Lary Bird

The Video about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson is one of the best videos i have seen all year. These two unique basketball players both played around the same time and both changed the game of basketball forever. Earvin Magic johnson went to michigan state where he played ball. He was a smart kid grew up in the city with his family with his brothers and sisters. He was hard nosed kid who practiced alot and already knew what he wanted to do in his life: Play Basketball. At the same time Larry bird was almost quite the same. Bird grew up with his family in a very small town and were very poor at the time. Things even got worse, his dad commited suicide when bird was at young age. The only thing Larry Bird knew what to do was to play basketball. He went to Indiana but soon found out that he didn't have the money to attend so he went Indiana State instead. Michigan state and Indiana State are two different places to play basketball. You have a power house team and then you have team that most likey wouldnt get in the NCAA tournemnt unless that had someone like Larry bird to change the course of the game. They were the top athletes in countryt and soon played on the USA dream team, and when they saw each other play they were shocked. Magic didn't know a white kid could play so well. They both made it to the NCAA championship against eachother. Michigan State won but it wouldnt be the last time they would see eachother. Bird went to the Celtics and Magic went to the Lakers. Two teams that were destined to play against each other in the finals. I really liked the video and i wish we could of watched the whole thing because I was drilled in and lost track of time.
