5. Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals
Site rank 1, IMDb rank 11; Overall Score 12
Directed by Ezra Edelman
A Courtship of Rivals follows an amazing story of two of the greatest players that ever played the game and how their relationship transitioned from that of bitter rivals to lifelong friends. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird made the 1980s in the NBA. Both of them revolutionized the game with their unorthodox playing styles, Magic as a 6’9’’ point guard and Bird as the world’s first “stretch four.”
