It should be a pretty good documentary. HBO always does a good job with stuff like this.

It's an hour and a half long. I posted it on this forum as their battle in the 1979 NCAA Championship game was the genesis of their rivalry.

Liev Schreiber is the narrator.

I don't have HBO but would love to see this. I remember watching the game live. And always enjoyed their subsequent NBA match ups

I'd love to watch this I wonder if someone will stream it anywhere.... I have nothing but respect for Magic! Him and Larry did so much for the game of basketball!

They both put college basketball & the NBA on the map. There will never be 2 players like them ever again.
