The irony of the Trial of the Century was that Morrie was just normally going to the bathroom while the whole world was watching the television with wide eyes and was thought of a huge moment for the country. Morrie did not care about this moment at all. This makes a connection because his life and the trial are both ending. This evidence from the book shows that Morrie doesn't care about drama or crazy things, he just cares about the people he loves and trusts before he dies. The 1979 basketball game reflects on Morrie as a person because it shows that Morrie is such a humble and thoughtful person and he thinks that it is not about being number one or winning, it is the fun and happiness that matters most.
