Larry Bird's intro was gold, the guys hilarious, and so humble. Both he and magic are pure class.

[@julius8386]

To be honest, All I heard about Bird was that he was a trashtalker who backs it up, But I never expected him to be a different man on stage. Such a great speaker

[@mikes3827]

​@@julius8386 Yep he is. But because of how Larry's roots never left him, he was about as brutally honest an athlete as there ever was. Straight Shooter (as Magic called him) and GREAT shooter, who is among only a handful of the greatest shooters in NBA history. I'm a Celtics fan, but if ever I get a chance to see Magic and Larry together (at a talk show, interview, etc.), it's must-see viewing for me. Their improbable story makes them THE #1 sports rivalry ever, IMO.

Magic so often is cutting up, big smile on his face and laughing.... In this speech, his demeanor was more reserved and humble. Spent the whole speech thanking everyone along the way.

Very moving and heartfelt, from beginning to end. Magic...

[@daveyo-yo8530]

But NOT ONE of them were all of those things wrapped up into one player who could play any position, play against any other player, and have a great amount of success in one fashion or another. Not to mention Magic was a natural leader and one hell of a showman.
