  When Magic was diagnosed with HIV... the entire league wanted him to retire... they thought they would be infected by sweat or blood or whatever.  Larry called up Magic and told him he would play with him anytime.  Basically Larry told the entire league go f*ck yourselves... Magic is welcome on the court anytime!  They're friendship actually developed when they did the famous Converse commercial.  They broke for lunch and Larry invited Magic to his house and said my Mom is making lunch for us.  Larry's Mom asked Larry... "did you tell him".  Larry said... no... you tell him Mom.  So Larry's Mom said to Magic... "you're my favorite basketball player".  That's when Magic called her Momma Bird.

  Barkley said it best "Larry can't run or jump cause that was God's way of making things fair."

  One of my favorite Larry Bird stories was during the playoffs against the Sixers and a fan told him he'd see him back in Philly for game 7. Larry looked at him and said "son, you have a better chance of seeing God."

  You hit the nail on the head. Larry got in a ton of fights. They all hated him. But like Byron Scott said, "after years of thinking about it, he might be one of the best players to ever play". Kareem giving him his flowers shows the point, they got in a fist fight it the finals. Dr. J fought him, Bill Lambert fought him, hell he was infamous for getting in bar fights.

  The thing to remember is those rivalries and legendary series between the Lakers and Celtics, brought out the greatness in them both. Their fierce competitiveness brought out each other's best games! True competitors and greats, welcome it, and thrive on it. and its true Bird was the biggest trash talker, but he could put on a master class in demoralizing ur opponents, when he called shots in their face all night and didn't miss. That's some PhD psychological assassin sht right there!

  He's right handed, that's why he said "Hey, I am gonna play 2/3 of this game left handed. He was showing off his incredible skills

  Magic said the first person to call him after he announced he was HIV positive was Larry.
