Description

There was one player in the 1979 NBA draft that everybody wanted.  That player was Magic Johnson.  As everybody knows, the Lakers picked him with the 1st draft pick, thus starting the Showtime era.  However, they only received that pick because they won a coin toss against the Bulls.  What if the Bulls received that pick and picked Magic Johnson instead of the Lakers?
