Best introvert+extrovert combo in history

[LFKGooner]

Magic Johnson's laughter is infectious for real.

[chefdemarco]

Man I could watch two hours of them talking together. What a pair of legends!

[alexatanasie]

Basketball royalty right there!!!! Thank you Magic&Bird for all the great games...Legends.

[zd]

Arguably this is the best interview Dave ever did.

[stellarwind]

Larry’s dry sense of humor cracks me up

[carlmay]

Damn. I could have listened to these two for hours.

[thedude]

Man, I loved watching these guys play each other in the 80s.
2 GOATs

[SWEETMAN]

These two gentlemen literally saved the NBA from going out of business and made it what it is today. This is a legendary moment right here. I love it.

Even now, French Lick's population is less than 2, 000 and it's high school, Spring's Valley, has a roll of less than 500. What are the odds of such a tiny place producing a basketball player of Larry Bird's caliber; one of the greatest to ever play the game? Incredible.

[jayltmoon]

As a Hoosier it was amazing to watch Larry Bird grow into Larry Legend. The epic battles between the Lakers and the Celtics are etched in sports history forever.

[markhildebrand]

Larry's sense of humor is hilarious! I'll bet when it's just the two of them, they're laughing most of the time.

[albertpahati]

MAGIC JOHNSON has the MOST WONDERFUL SMILE in the NBA.

[privatepenguin]

Often times I'll watch a 2 minute video on YouTube and think "well...that's 2 minutes I'm never getting back". This video was 21 minutes and I wished it could have lasted forever.

[marcoramirez]

Two of the greatest to EVER play the game. Massive RESPECT for these two!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[jerrymauro]

When Magic was diagnosed with HIV many people turned their back on him but Larry Bird was by his side. That is a TRUE FRIEND when you are in need 👍

[markanthony]

Just two wholesome guys.. Great ball players and even better men..

[jdp]

Magic made a great point at the end of the video that was basically ignored by Letterman. He said we made passing fashionable again. That is one of the most underlooked talents they brought to the game! They were 2 of the best passers the game has ever seen.

[craigroeser]

Magic and Bird two of the all time greats of basketball and life! I truly loved seeing those two again, and seeing that dynamic between them! Just awesome!

[Gregory-smpf]

There was no color between these two, they looked each other with the utmost respect and have an unbreakable friendship
