That Old Celtic Magic

paulkatcher:

Two of my favorite Sports Illustrated covers — both of which I own in my collection — of a pair of basketball legends in their college days.

* Larry Bird - “College Basketball’s Secret Weapon,” Nov. 28, 1977
* Magic Johnson - “The Super Sophs,” Nov. 27, 1978

Absolutely love SI’s classic concept covers.

NBA Playoffs Throwback: New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics, 1984, Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Larry Bird’s line you ask? 39 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. This is basically Bird doing everything and against Bernard King who had scored 44 points at the Garden in game 6 and, with Bird, was one of that years leading MVP candidates (Bird eventually won MVP making it two in a row).

The new chapter begins in New York on Saturday at 3:30pm on ABC.
