so me and Chris Weber walking in the corridor and we see this tall white guy Damn that look like Larry Bird He walked by us and he says “Y’all those college guys?” And he looked at us and he said “Get some rest It’s going to be a long week.” And walked off Then they bust us to another location where the dream team is practicing And then they say “All right get loose and stretch out We playing?” Yeah Yeah We going to play next So we get out the gate The first 15 minutes we kicking they ass And then something happened and Ronnie Rogers said “Hey Larry you ain’t hit a jumper since ‘ 84.” The next day we came in and I never seen this and this when I was like “This is a different breed.” Larry Bird got the ball on Rodney Rogers and every time he was about to make a move he told him what he was going to do One dribble pull up going left off glass One dribble going right spin shot He scored nine times in a row left the court to go lay down because he couldn’t sit on a bench and said “Young fella look like 84 huh

I absolutely love the stories about Larry Bird, he was a beast
Larry Legend
In the modern game, Larry would just shoot threes and his back would be ok. Times were tough back then.
I grew up watching Larry Bird,Iโm a diehard fan of Boston, Massachusetts & home to the 6 time world champion Patriots.. Larry Bird was the goat of the NBA, just as Tom Brady is the goat of the NFL

Larry legend was his name.
If it looks like him and plays like him and talks like him it โs probably him!
Larry Bird is the best 3-pointer ever
Prime Larry would average a triple double today. He'd hit 10 3s a game today.
Larry Bird was the baddest white boy in history back in his era of time in the 80s ๐ช
And if anyone wants to know I am a black man speaking
My wife is from Boston and will hear no slander about Larry Bird๐๐๐
With nerve damage in his back
The college team that beat team usa in a scrimmage had Chris Webber, Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, and Bobby Hurley on it. It was a legit team full of future Nba All stars.
And remember folks that if you can back it up it ainโt bragging
I'm not even into basketball – I'm just here for the legendary stories! ๐
Rodney Rogers talking shit to Larry Legend is crazy. MJ didnโt even go there.
I would think by the time the Dream Team came around. The NBA players would have learned not to say shit about Bird's playing abilities๐๐๐
Young fella looks like 84๐๐
Greatness doesn't get old!๐๐๐๐

Larry is the GOAT.
Bird best ever
Larry is one of the best
Iโm sorry but I always have and always will consider Larry legend the true goat. Had he not been cheap n thoughtful n hurt his back working at his moms things would have been so different I donโt see mj getting his first 3 peat. What I loved most bout him is he wasnโt flashy just straight fundamentals and skill with near perfect precision.
My favorite player
all this with a catastrophic back injury.
Hahaaaaa thatโs awesome
Don't poke the giant bear!
He said they were busting their ass for 15 minutes but didnโt say they beat them or what happened after their 15 minutes of fame. ๐
Bird was like I'm about to bird sht on ole boy
People will never understand for good 90โs basketball was
You know Larry bird stretched his back all night before that game lol
