Bill Walton on Larry Bird & the GREATNESS of 1986 Celtics | Ryan & Goodman Podcast

Ray Melchiorre nearly saved the Celtics from a practice in 1986 by hitting a half court shot, until the C's got so caught up in the competition they decided to have the practice anyway. Walton remembers the trainer that hit the shot that Larry Bird couldn't that day.
During a 36-6 route during the 1986 season, Tree Rollins got fed up with Danny Ainge and fired an in-bounds pass directly at his head. As everyone stood waiting for the referees to determine what the call is in that situation, Danny Ainge took the ball back and hit another three-pointer over the Hawks.

I had the honor of shaking KC Jones's hand. He was a member of a golf club I played at. His house was next to the 3rd hole. I saw him in the clubhouse once and met him. He's a great person.

I like how he says “rolling and rocking” as opposed to the cliche rocking and rolling.

The single greatest team that's ever played basketball.

Think of how LB would have played under John Wooden during the BW days. Scary is all I can think of.

[@MustangMike012]

Larry Bird was the greatest.
