  DUDE, Pierce and company would not have had a chance against the 86 Celtics. Really.

  A few other things about Bird. <br><br>When he was a kid his father removed the backboard from his rim and then hammered it down to only 1.5 times bigger than a basketball. <br><br>I forget who he was playing. &nbsp; But he got mad and told the other team they needed to stop disrespecting him by making the white guy guard him. <br><br><br>Back when the US sent college srs to the Olympics one of the college srs said bird hadn&apos;t been able to play since 84. &nbsp;So in practice bird dropped 55 on him and said &quot;looks like 1984 out here doesn&apos;t it?&quot; <br><br>He pump faked Dominic Wilkens who jumped to block it and and middle of the game Bird said &quot;welcome to the parachute club rook.&quot; Then splashed a 3 <br><br>I think it was against Barkley before a game he knew said &quot;I feel like 46&quot; hit 46 in the 3rd then checked himself out of a game. <br><br>Against Drexler he airballed 2 threes, Clyde started talking smack. &nbsp;Bird said watch this, intentionally airballed a 3rd. And said &quot;the difference between you and me, I can do that and still play, you would be on the bench.&quot; <br><br>I forget who it was against but the Celtics flight got delayed by 11 hours so they spent it in the airport waiting, when they landed the bus driver said it was to icy to go to the hotel so they went to the arena hours before a game. &nbsp;And when the home team showed up. Bird told them, &quot;don&apos;t take this ass whipping personal, I have only been allowed to eat hotdogs all day.&quot; &nbsp;He smoked them for 40 some points. <br><br><br>When the other team fell off the bench laughing they all got fined. &nbsp; But the reason they were laughing Bird said &quot;I&apos;m going to go down court, hit a 3 while jumping into your trainer&quot; and he did just that. It was also his 60 point game. <br><br><br>Bird used to tell other teams what the Celtics plan was coming out of timeouts, just because he said he wanted a challenge.<br><br>He once asked the opposing coach in rhe middle of the game if he has anyone on the bench who could guard him.<br><br>Bird once played half a game with a fractured cheekbone, compressed nerve and ruptured disc in his back and still put up 33 points, 9 boards, and 7 dimes. &nbsp;He literally snuck out of the locker room while the trainer was distracted. <br>After the season and when he had surgery, the surgeon said he had no idea how we was walking with the back injury he had, let alone playing basketball <br><br>Idr who, but a famous coach once said. (Roughly) &nbsp;If the game was on the line, I would let Jordan take the shot. &nbsp;But if my life was on the line, Bird is shooting for me. <br><br>And Larry&apos;s type of player was all around, Magic once said the follow <br>&quot;Larry is better than me&quot; <br>&quot;Larry is the best all around player&quot; <br>&quot;The only player I fear is Larry Bird&quot;<br><br>Barkley once said: <br>&quot;God made Larry slow and unable to jump so everyone else has a chance&quot;<br><br>Oh and when he retired, he had a clause thay his contract renewed for 5 mil Aug 15. He retired Aug 12, and when he told the Celtics GM he was going to retire, the GM asked him if he knew what rhe day was and to take 1 week to think about it. &nbsp;Larry told him he knew what day it was, and he was retiring. &nbsp; &nbsp;Dude went out of his way and saved them a few mil so they would have cap space next season.<br><br>He&apos;s the only guy who has a MVP as a player, Coach of the Year, and GM of the Year in the NBA.

  Larry did not hurt his back while chopping wood but when he build the entrance road to his mums house by himself. he also didn&apos;t just have a cuncussion when he fell straight on his face in the match against the pacers but fractured his cheek.

  The quote is true I&apos;m saving my right hand for the Lakers. However, the reason bird made the left-handed comment and torture Jerome Kersey was because Portland was the one team that beat him at home and he didn&apos;t want to listen to it from the Press.

  Lol 😂 Larry dominated the NBA for 9 years in a way that is still awe inspiring. After winning ROY and finishing 4th in the MVP, he ran off a string of 8 years in a row where he finished 1st or 2nd. It wasn&apos;t just 3 MVPs in a row.

  Larry Bird won the shooter contest 3 times in a row. His 3 mvps are in a row. Those 3 mvps are rarity in the NBA. They made him the third player in history to do it. So far, I haven&apos;t heard of any player doing 3 in a row since.
