A crowd of over 10,000 fans listen to Earvin "Magic" Johnson speak before the beginning of the game. Footage includes highlights from the game and interviews with players from both teams. The 1979 squad defeats the All-Stars, 95-93. The 1979 players are coached by Jud Heathcote, and the All-Stars are coached by Tom Izzo.
