WHHHAAAAAT HE PLAYED CENTER!?!?! Sry for the capitals, my jaw was on the shift button. Btw, larry bird wasn't mentioned once (except at the end) >_>

This was probably Magic's greatest game and hard to believe back then it was on tape delay--not prime time!!! It just proves how Magic and Bird turned the NBA around with their great all around play.

Right around 1:53 or 1:54 if you freeze it with Dr. J hitting Kareem on the head, became a famous poster. I've been looking for it but it's hard to find.

That one game proves how great magic is.

Yeah, Muggsy Bogues could start at center...it doesn't mean they will play that spot the whole game.

[jp3813]

He only started at center. He played the rest of the game in the four other positions.
