I never get tired of Larry Bird stories

Larry Bird was a savage. He knew how great he was and the confidence was top level. A true legend

I think I'm watching more about Bird now than when he played. The stories are like westerns. Larry was a real gun-slinger. Hicktown swagger. The sheriff.

[@mariohostios]

The Bird stories are the best😎

Grew up watching bird 🐦 ❤, and I miss him ,he was great ,he did it all ,and he was the guy ,that was the guy next door, that's the other reason we loved him #larrybird ❤❤❤

[@stevef.4350]

I was at this game on my birthday and remember the 3pt jumpshot like it was yesterday. If he hadn't made the shot, I wouldn't of remembered the game. Fast forward 7 years later, I once again attended the Suns/Celtics game. This time the Suns crushed the Celtics. After the game I saw Bird and a few other players at a sports bar near their hotel. Joe Kleine told Bird not to sign my ticket stub since they lost. Larry Bird reached out ant took my pen and ticket and signed it. Thanks Mr. Bird!

Larry is simply the BEST ALL-AROUND player EVER!!! He made his teammates better more than anyone. I will take Larry in his prime over anyone even Michael.

[@lar7905]

Yeah...ME TOO...With respect to all the greats who he played with or against and those who came before , and there have been no players since who were close in all around skills. Just nobody. There have been great shooters or passers or scorers or rebounders or assist guys...but nobody has been the complete package that Bird was.

Ya know, to me, it was about my dad and me watching the Boston games together. Even now, I just turn on the Larry highlight reels on here and let er fly. I suppose some kids got the same satisfaction by watching football or NASCAr or boxing. Whatever the case, that's what it was for me. The NBA was great then. I miss seeing all the other great players too: Magic, Dr. J, Kareem, etc.;they were my heroes.

[@justinbueno4414]

In the NBA, a lot of players trash talk. Many players do their trash talking after they made their shots or executed their plays. They talk after the fact. What makes Larry Bird stand out up until today, he did his trash talking before he made his shots. He told his opponents what he was gonna do. Larry Bird talked before the fact!!!

[@bcask61]

And that’s how you get the nickname “Legend,” boys and girls.....

Why doesn't Larry Bird ever appear on talk shows or interviews

[@SebsBeenHere]

Cause Larry hates publicity, and I feel him on that. The media twists up your words and makes edits to make it seem like your saying something else.

[@rolandmiller5456]

He had done interviews so me of them are on KZbin.

[@invisiblesun6595]

Yeah I noticed that too. It's like they'll ask you "so dave what kind of acting do you do?" and it's like "well bob, I tend to do blah-blah-blah". Then you read the article and they omit the part where you were asked the question. Like you just started talking about yourself out of the blue.

[@louarmstrong6128]

That's interesting, Barkley said McHale was the hardest player to guard...he might know more than you do

[@anonygent]

I have to agree. I saw McHale play a game without Bird and I think he scored 10 points and turned over the ball five times. Maybe McHale had more potential for Larry to work with than a lot of other players, but without Bird on the floor, that potential went unrealized.

[@PInk77W1]

[@PInk77W1]

@@louarmstrong6128 he knows a ton more than me. I agree with him 100% But it’s because of Bird. Bird brought out the best in McHale. McHale was hard to guard because Bird was On the team.

Let me pretend that the vodka is the chaser for the cider. Lets pretend that I have four of these lined up and that I can drink them all in one sitting. It is possible. I know it is. You see I have done this before. Lets pretend that I toast you with the cider and that I empty the glass. The vodka follows as easily as a raindrop on a windshield. Let me pretend that the second and third of these combinations follow easily. Let me pretend that I gaze at the last glass of amber fluid and that I see into the future. Let me pretend that it wastes no time following its companions. Let me pretend that the vodka patiently waits its turn. Sometimes we drink for pleasure. Sometimes we drink simply to get drunk. Being drunk eases the pain of living. I would get drunk to dull the pain of missing you. Lets pretend I want to see you again. But let us only pretend that .

No. Because Larry is the only person that did this. Jordan never walked up to the other team's bench and said, "I'm gonna just bust a three on y'all, I'm tired of this. " Fact is, you're a hater. Who cares If the best basketball player ever was white. Still way more blacks better at sports in general.
