Well, let\'s see. It was 1984 and as a budding six-year old sports fan, I recognized that there were two prominent athletes who were leading the way in the NBA.
One was a smooth, flashy point guard named Magic Johnson who played amidst the excitement and glamor of \'Showtime\' in Los Angeles. The other was a pasty, brain-dead, ball-hog hick who played on a court with a leprechaun in the middle. Boy, was that a tough decision.
Also of note is that, same as last season, the Celtics defeated the Lakers in the 1984 Finals. Of course, the Lakers bounced back to beat the Celtics in the next year\'s finals, as well as 1987. Hmmm. Interesting.
