A Courtship of Rivals - Magic & Bird

"If he were black, he'd be just another good guy." Isaiah Thomas. The themes of black and white are recurring and the honesty and extremes to which these athletes push their bodies are compelling. However for me the most poignant moment was at the end of Magic Johnson's career when we get to see how it impacted his relationship with Larry Bird. I never understood the hype surrounding these players. You hear heaps about them, but they don't play anymore and I rarely watch archived games. But the understanding the two men arrived at is something rare and worth watching so if you have an hour and a half, this documentry will be worth your time!
