The Bird-Magic NCAA Final
happened:
When Indiana State erected a Bird statue on campus in Terre Haute in
2013 — making bloody well sure it was taller than the Magic statue in
East Lansing — Bird was still brooding about a night 34 years before.
“You never get over that. It’s impossible to get over it when you
have your heart broken. I knew going into that game that I was going to
have to play the best game I’d ever played in my life, and I didn’t do
it. I let us all down.”
That contest might be one of college basketball’s golden moments, but
he has never watched a replay. He never will. “I know how it ended.”
