I did too. MSU and Illinois were 1 and 2 in the country and the Illini won on a jumper by Eddie Johnson in the last few seconds. Eddie went on to have a great NBA career with the Suns and is now a sportscaster.

As for Doncic, he's made 1st team All NBA two of his first three years. Lebron and Magic never did that.

I saw Magic in Ann Arbor. Funny, Michigan wasn't that good but as I recall won the game on a jumper by Mike McGee who went on to the NBA as well. Similar games, crazy.

My then girlfriend, who was visiting from out of town, did not want to go. I was like, if a 6 foot 9 point guard they call Magic is in town, you don't pass up the chance to see him.
