Black Magician: Owen Johnson, Bai Niao: larry bird.
Speaking of the most classic confrontation in NBA, it is nothing more than the black-and-white duo and the yellow-green war in the 1980s. Larry Bird and Owen Johnson are similar in height, opposite in skin, equally mature and comprehensive in technology, and entered the NBA in the same year. One was selected as the No.1 pick by the Los Angeles Lakers, and the other was selected as the sixth pick by the Boston Celtics a year ago. Then, the NBA showdown between the two began.
Black-and-white people and black-and-white people combined to rule the whole 1980s, in which the Lakers entered the finals seven times and the Celtics entered the finals five times. The Lakers won five championships and the Celtics won three. In the 1980s, they won eight championships in nine years. No rival group in history can monopolize the whole era like them. This is the reason for their high historical status. Not only their honor and data, but also their historical influence of monopolizing the whole 1980s and bringing the NBA back to life.
