Pretty good documentary. With the exception of Bird hurting his back putting in his mothers driveway(tightwad), nothing I didnt already know. Some of the passes they showed by both guys were just unreal.

Yeah they had a special relationship...really turned into close true friends. I remember Magic a few months ago talking about the day he announced he had AIDS. I believe Larry Bird was the first one to call him and offer any help he could for his good friend.

I've long that their friendship was exaggerated. I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm being lied to when I hear about how much they care for each other.
It didn't start that way. They never really liked each other. It was when they shot the Converse "Choose your weapon" commercial that they got to know each other off the court. And even after that, they still weren't friendly on the court. Bird finally cracked after Magic hit the Finals winner, when he said "Magic was the greatest he's even seen."
