Did you ever hear Isaiah talk about how he learned how to win from Bird? It's a cool story and involves a playoff series. If you are interested, I'll either find it or pass it along as best as I can....

[@PowerfulAndWise]

Thank you Patrick Ewing and Larry Bird! Two great players who are part of the reason why I started playing basketball. Blessings to everyone!

[@mikes3827]

I'm a HUUUGE Celtics/Bird fan, and I was a young kid growing up during that era. But, Patrick Ewing also grew up around that same period (Cambridge Rindge & Latin HS), and Ewing was a HUUUUUUGE legend then, because as great a career as he had as a pro, the hype surrounding Ewing prior to going to Georgetown was even greater. Back then they had a tournament called "The Boston Shootout" and one of the times the Cambridge squad came and played at the Arlington Boys & Girls club court against the Boston Titans, and it was like Elvis had walked into the gym.

[@PowerfulAndWise]

Mike S Wow. I would have loved to have seen Patrick Ewing play back then. The atmosphere in his high school gym must have been amazing!

[@mikes3827]

+donmegace Yeah it was something. Those R&L teams were stacked, as they featured top teammates like Ladon Adair, who went on to play starting PG for UConn. They were treated like rock stars, and when Ewing entered the bball court (Arlington Boys Club), he was the only guy who had to duck to enter the doorway to the gym. I had a cousin that was in Ewing's grade in HS, and the combination of Ewing's height, his Jamaican accent, and his being black exposed him to a lot of ridicule, which caused him to develop a hardened attitude for anything Boston, which is sad. I'm not a fan of all the race-baiting out there nowadays, but back in the mid 70s-to-early 80s, most of Pat went through was legit. The irony is it was the (unlikely) friendship between Pat and Larry Bird developed MANY years later that has helped Ewing get past what he went through growing up in Cambridge/Boston, and that's cool to see, because Pat's a good dude :)

[@PowerfulAndWise]

Mike S Thanks for the thorough explanation! I am Jamaican so I felt an automatic connection to Pat Ewing. I had heard about the abuse that he endured in various high school gyms but I didn't know how bad it was. Neither did I know that he resented all things Boston as a result. It's cool that he and Larry Bird became friends :) I always remembered Ewing's tough game face when he played for the Knicks. But I also heard that he was a really cool guy off the court.

[@mikes3827]

+donmegace My pleasure. Those times bring back childhood memories for me. When Pat and Larry got to be REALLY good friends is when the original "Dream Team" in Barcelona Olympics took place. Reports said that they clicked so well that they were often inseparable while there (hanging out together on the sidelines, in the locker room, going out to dinner together, etc.). Even during the ceremony receiving their gold medals, you'll see Pat and Larry standing next to one another. Whatever the reasons, I'm glad it happened, and especially glad it was therapeutic for Pat. God works in mysterious ways! Peace :)

Has there ever been a player with more and better stories told about him than Larry Bird? They're almost unending and you keep hearing new ones 20 years after he's gone.

[@maskedmotorsdiy3575]

The beauty of youtube is that you don't have to rely on "back in the day" stories when legends are mentioned...just go and watch Bird's games from his prime Celtics days of '79 - '85 before his back problems. No one could stop Bird. The Bad Boy Pistons were pure defense and still Bird with his bad back destroyed them with 27 ppg in the '87 ECF, even with Hall of Fame defensive guy Rodman draped all over him.

[@redfirebird2008]

Well I wouldn't call the Bad Boy Pistons "pure" defense. They played dirty as hell, clotheslining people and so forth.

[@charlescohich4753]

[@christophermyers9076]

gullyroad I’m a Celtics fan, and I will absolutely give the Pistons their respect. They were tough as nails. However, I think time, injuries and the death of Lenny Bias are what derailed the Celtics more than anything. Had Bird and McHale remained healthy, and had Lenny Bias been there, I think the Celtics win at least two more titles.

[@swmita]

Ticonderoga Dixon -what i get tired of reading in some of the comments are people that comment that only white people refer to Larry bird as GOAT. You can go down the line of all the HOF players that played against Bird and they will tell he was one of the best or some other comment with nothing but accolades. Those were the guys that went toe to toe with Bird, and they knew and '"acknowledged" he was one of the great ones.

[@billyboblillybob344]

Bird has a great story about how dirty Laimbeer (yep surprise surprise) played. Apparently when defending someone, Laimbeer would slide his foot under his opponent's foot when they jumped for a shot. They would land awkwardly with a strong possibility of twisting an ankle or worse. Allegedly he did this to Robert Parrish on more than one occasion. Bird went on to say that Laimbeer tried it on Bird once and when Bird did it back to him, Laimbeer never did it to Bird again. Kinda funny...

[@scottcarroll9201]

I think it's a regular segment of the Dan Patrick show to ask his guest if they have any Larry Bird stories.

[@leeellenwood5461]

Such a great player/man, Always one of my fav centers.

[@YankeesFlair]

That was the difference between Bird and these other trash talkers-he would talk trash before the play and not after it He backed it up like Ewing said!!!

[@Rottidog68]

Many others probably talked trash because they were getting frustrated. Larry was doing it to get you frustrated. IMO He said that telling people where he was going, he was getting the ball & what he was going to do. That gave him a rush & was the dagger in the heart for players. He got a rush off of it. Especially in clutch situations. And statistically, it made sense too.

[@johnwynn5050]

They really attributed Larrys 'lack of hops' because he didn't fly like a Dr. J. It was just never Larry's game to incorporate athleticism because he wasn't like a Dr.J.

Most former Bird opponents have good things to say about him because he was genuine. If you could ball, he wanted to play against you to see if he could beat you. Seems like most of the guys from the '80's and '90's came out as good folk. They respected each other, not ALL ABOUT ME!!!! Just a different era, I guess.

I remember Patrick Ewing as a freshman at Cambridge Ridge and Latin High School. He wasn't filled out but even then you could see he was he was destined for great things. His high school. and mine North Quincy played the most exciting basketball game I ever witnessed. Patrick was coached by Mike Jarvis. Patrick's team won by one point with no time left on a beautiful shot by their guard I believe Kevin Moore. Only the 1981 ECF Celts vs Sixers game7 and Patrick playing for Georgetown lost a heartbreaker to North Carolina in NCAA FInals rabk anywhere near that high school game.

[@Fakename70]

John Lothrop I first heard of him after reading a feature about him in Esquire during his senior year at Ringe and Latin. I was aged 10-11 and my dad had a subscription then. Fast forward to the 1981-82 school year and I found a Georgetown game on the telly and remembered him from the Esquire article. Was hooked on Hoyas for the rest of the decade.

[@caseyshepherd4436]

John Lothrop I was able to meet Pat when I was 12 in San Diego when he was practicing with the dream team before going to Barcelona. He was my favorite basketball player at the time I came up to him in the lobby of his hotel to ask him for an autograph he was a total asshole about it. After that day I stopped watching basketball and became an mma fan instead.....

[@burdine26.120]

“Larry has a way of making everybody he comes into contact with a better person. A pure American of the highest character as reported in Sports Illustrated: "Bob Woolf, Larry Bird's attorney, brings out a hotel bill dated April 6, 1979. .... Now, the most illuminating thing in this whole saga is that hotel bill from 1979. You see, except for the basic room charge and the tax, there was nothing else on it. No room service, no restaurant charge, no long-distance phone calls, no nothing. Having dealt with many other athletes, Woolf naturally assumed that the kid would charge at will. But that wasn't how Larry Joe Bird was raised back in French Lick, Indiana. ‘Larry has a way of making everybody he comes into contact with a better person,’ Woolf says. ‘If you think the Larry Bird on the court has character and is unselfish-well, off the court he's even more so.’ Among those who know Bird well, the same catalog of qualities is cited again and again: honest, loyal, steadfast, dependable-his existence shaped by the contradictory, almost mystical ability to be the cynosure, yet always to contribute to those around him. Mel Daniels, who was an assistant coach at Indiana State when Bird played there, said it best: ‘It's like a piece of Larry goes to each player by the things he does.’ Tony Clark, a Terre Haute radio executive who grew up with Bird, says, ‘Larry epitomizes the word friend. Do you understand that?’ Yes. ‘Then you really don't have to know anything else about him.’” - Frank Deford,, Sports Illustrated 1988, “A Player For The Ages,” Sports Illustrated, Time, Inc., New York, New York, March 21, 1988

[@dpeatebc7265]

The charge that Bird couldn't jump is silly. The guy was 6'-9." Standing with his arms outstretched he could almost reach the rim. Yeah, there are guys who can jump up and touch the top of the backboard, but what good is that? Most rebounds don't go nearly that high. Bird was as quick jumping and getting to the ball as anyone, and if you don't believe me, check out his rebound totals. He regularly achieved triple doubles on a team with guys like Walton, Parrish and McHale. He also had the uncanny ability to sense which direction the ball was going to rebound. It was like he knew when his shots were going in and when they were not. When they were not, he often knew where to be when the ball rebounded. In general, he was one of the most instinctive players who ever played along with Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Jerry West. Add to that, his passing game was as good as there ever was.

GOAT talk is misplaced for any player in my opinion, because no one player can do it alone and there are five key positions on the floor that comprise a basketball team. So the discussion should be the best starting five of all time. And as far as that goes, I don't see how a prime Larry Bird isn't the best small forward of all time. The mixture of shooting, passing, rebounding, smarts, hustle, and most important of all, CLUTCH, can't be equaled. And then on top of that, he's one of the best locker room/chemistry guys around.

Ewing was a warrior in this era the problem was the Knicks played a slow down 1/2 court style, would've loved to have seen Patrick play on a high octane team he would've been greater utilized in a more run and gun game
