Here are a few quotes to give you a feel for this outstanding sports documentary:

HBO Sports’ Bryant Gumbel: “One of my pet peeves always is when people say, ‘Oh, Michael Jordan saved the NBA.’ Bull! ‘Magic’ and Larry saved the NBA.”

Larry Bird :“They talk about it every day somewhere. If I go to a foreign country, it’s ‘ “Magic”, where’s “Magic?” ’ It’s the same everywhere…We got this connection that’s never gonna be broken. I mean, right to our graves. They’ll be talking about this a hundred years from now.”

“Magic” Johnson: “We don’t have to see each other. We don’t have to say hello. We don’t have to call each other. You know you got this tight bond with this cat. And you don’t have to see him for a year or two. But you’re always gonna be linked to him.”

“Magic Johnson on the nickname given to him after his high school varsity debut: “In the beginning I thought…it was dumb. I didn’t know nothing about a nickname. And then you start saying, ‘Wait a minute, it fits my game.’ And then people in the street start saying, ‘Hey “Magic.” ’ And I said ‘Hmmm.’ ”

Bird’s teammate Kevin McHale: “Larry and ‘Magic’ could control the game with 12 shots. It was amazing. They’d be seven for 12, they’d have 20 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. And you go, ‘Man, he shot the ball twelve times and was the best player on the court by far.’ ”

Larry Bird :“But I always get this good feeling when I know I’m gonna see him because he makes you feel good, he really does. He’s unbelievable.”

“Magic” Johnson: “He’s very private, but if he’s your friend, you got a friend for life. And Larry Bird is a straight shooter. He’ll tell you when he don’t like you. That’s one thing I wish I could have that he has that I don’t have.”
