I know the Magic Johnson/Larry Bird story.  A lot of us do.  So when I walked into Broadway's Longacre theater last night, I was really curious to see how they pulled off telling me a story I already know in their production of "Magic/Bird."    Here's the thing.  I didn't know it like this.  This [...]

The story of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird is hitting broadway this month, with a new production called "Magic Bird."   Here's how the the show is described on their website:  At the heart of one of the fiercest rivalries in sports, two of the greatest athletes of all-time battled for multiple championships and the future [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

He pauses, decides to qualify. “From the players? Management? Coaches? [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Did Ainge do the right thing? If the Celtics can make another deep run or two, he probably chose wisely. But if we saw the last gasp [...]

Magic Johnson is pretty fired up about the Finals. Couldn't have said it any better myself.  Well… I could probably have delivered it a little more cleanly… but I mean the sentiment. Via Lex [...]

Last night, The Boston Celtics and HBO converted the Garden into a movie theater for an advance screening of "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals."  It was an "invite-only" crowd of season ticket holders… but I managed to find my way in as a friend's "plus 1." It was pretty cool to see the [...]
