What impact did Magic Johnson and Larry Bird have in the 1979 NCAA championship game?

Are you kidding me??? That was one of the best NCAA Championship games I have ever seen... That was the first time the basketball world had ever seen the "Alley-Oop"... Magic Johnson and Greg Kelser shocked the nation when they performed this magnificent ground breaking manuever in which the basketball is just simply thrown towards the area of the rim where the recipient jumps as though he's going for the rebound, then magically catches the basketball and slam dunks it... I'm not exactly sure how many points were scored by Magic Johnson, or Larry Bird... Heck, I was in the Seventh grade when I saw that game... So... I guess I really didn't answer your question... Sorry!!!... Michigan State won the game!!!...
