Dug up from the archives! Highlights of the 2 games between the Magic Johnson All Stars vs The New Zealand All Stars. Both games were won comfortably by Magic’s Team. Probably the first and last time that NBA players of this calibre will play here. I actually won the Sunday News competition for free tickets, however had to turn them down as I was starting university.. I know.. priorities huh! I did however win an autographed basketball by Magic which was second prize so stoked about that. Game 1 was screened live by TV3 and I have this game in full. I may upload parts of this game if I have time.
Michigan State, coached by Jud Heathcote, won the national title with a 75-64 victory in the final game over Indiana State, coached by Bill Hodges. Magic Johnson of Michigan State was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. The final game marked the beginning of the rivalry between future Hall of Famers Johnson and Larry Bird. To this day, it remains the highest-rated game in the history of televised college basketball. Both Magic and Bird would enter the NBA in the fall of 1979, and the rivalry between them and their teams (respectively, the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics) was a major factor in the league’s renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s. The game also led to the “modern era” of college basketball, as it introduced a nationwide audience to a sport that was once relegated to second-class status in the sports world. This was the first tournament in which all teams were seeded by the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. The top six seeds in each regional received byes to the second round, while seeds 7-10 played in the first round.
