Episode Title: The Making of Magic vs. Bird

Episode Summary:

  • The game was significant not only for the intense rivalry between these two future NBA stars, but also for its record-breaking viewership.
  • The game drew in 24.1 rating, meaning a quarter of all television sets in America were tuned in, making it the highest-rated basketball game ever (college or pro).
  • The episode likely explores their humble beginnings, the lead-up to the game and the impact this matchup had on their careers and the sport of basketball.
  • A key element highlighted in the sources is the "storybook" quality of both players' journeys to the championship game.
  • Larry Bird, who could have gone pro earlier, chose to stay at Indiana State, leading his team to the brink of a national title.
  • Magic Johnson's performance fueled speculation that he would soon join the NBA.
  • The episode might also feature a retelling of the game itself, potentially including key moments and commentary on the players' styles.
  • The reference to the World Invitational tournament where Bird and Johnson played together suggests the episode could include their early interactions and budding rivalry.
  • The Season starts with Bird's High School Career in French Lick, Indiana, Bird's hometown, hinting at a deep dive into Bird's background and path to basketball stardom.
