Just heard another good Larry Bird story. This one from Danny Ainge.

They were playing the Knicks and he and Larry Bird were out on the court shooting before the game and before the teams are out warming up. Bird starts shooting corner 3's and is banking them in.

A Knicks trainer is watching this and says to Bird..."I'll bet you $20 you can't hit that shot during the game". Bird says "You're on".

So, they're playing the game, the Celtics go up by 20 late in the 4th quarter, so the Celtics pull their starters and Bird hasn't attempted that shot. The Knicks trainer gets Bird's attention to let him know that he owes him $20. Bird isn't happy.

Well, the Knicks make a comeback, pull within 7 and the Celtics put the starters back in. First thing Bird does is shoot a corner 3 and banks it in.

Ainge is laughing and says "Larry was so cheap that it was more important to him to not have to pay the bet than it was to win the game". lol

Always like hearing Larry Legend stories. For anyone that didn't see him play they probably have no idea how prolific of a shit-talker he was.

Wait a minute. Thought Giannis was going to Miami?

 

[The Q]

I thought giannis was gonna go to Miami. This really means there is going to be excess cap space for no one next summer. A good time for teams to extract a pick for some blah contracts

 

[Wamu]

On a different topic for a moment. Who's done more drugs Ozzy or Keith Richards?

 

[WiggyRuss]

so Fox signed with Sacramento

Giannis is off the table

Victor Oladipo Time!!!! LOL

there are basically no big name free agents now with Fox and Giannis gone.

unless you want Kyle Lowry! lol

Jrue Holiday might decline his player option?

 

[wildturkey]

LOL. Twitter is drunk. It has "Harden to Miami" trending under a Politics tab

Absolute no debate top 5 all time

Top 5 trash talker?

Definitely debate as to whether he is top 5 as a player. Most would have him outside the top 5.

Nothing was mentioned about where he ranks amoung the all time greats. Just that he's easily one of the 5 best trash talkers the league has ever seen. No debating that.

 

[DJ]

Actually says a lot that he couldn't make the Pistons.

He will be the accountant for his 2 brothers.

There is no debate he was also a top 5 all time player as well

 

[Wamu]

There is no debate he was also a top 5 all time player as well

I think he is. But I'm also a little biased since he's still my favorite player of all time.

Yeah, well it’s definitely an individual thing. He’s in the conversation no doubt.

Did you know Larry Legend's the only NBAer to win rookie of the year, League MVP, Finals MVP, coach of the year & executive of the year?

 

[Heatles84]

He will be the accountant for his 2 brothers.

So they'll be broke shortly after they've retired. On a separate note, don't think you could have a CPA without a Bachelor's degree, which dad decided to have his kids forgo college (the oldest doing 1 year).
