Larry is A CLASS ACT!!!! FROM. THE START OF HIS CARREER TIL NOW... LARRY YOU ARE THE GREATEST PLAYER TO EVER TOUCH A BASKETBALL!!!!! SERIOUSLY "THE LIVING LEGEND"!!!!!
Spent some good times with Birdie. Drinking beer, golfing, shagging balls for him. Was fortunate to ride the bus and travel with those guys in 85 86. Games on the road and at home . Practices were the best! Even went to French Lick and stayed at the compound. Larry's mom made us breakfast one morning and it was just all so special. I'll never forget those golden days. All made possible by my good friend Bill Walton or as the Chief called him, WILLIAM!!
LarBurd is trending amongst jr high basketball players here in KC, that’s all they say when they practice! LarBurd.. over and over again.. it’s hysterical they love him!
Thank you Larry for all of your hard work, and for not giving up. You are a mentor that will live forever. Really. So, I am from Indiana have lived in tennessee for 26 yrs very proud to mention you to my friendsand family. Thank you again I know that you said it is a job, but what a job! Thank you sir! Mike .I lived in Indiana and was born in Indiana for 31 yrs ,went to state in track from Franklin Community High School. Took everything I had but, came in 11 th 3.29 mile relay. 1st was 3.26 So, I thought I would advance but,didn't. So very proud of you history. Your such a great player. Thanks again.
Hearing Larry Bird speak about his assistant coaches and his players. He definitely one hell of a player and coach. His basketball intelligence is really superb.
Building on what CandyMan said, Bird is an interesting dude. When he got to Boston, the big city, he had no problem with letting people think he was dumb. He genuinely didn't care. He was shy and didn't speak and reporters genuinely thought he was a dumb hick. There's a great Peter Vescey quote where he asks Bird, how come you never go over the record with me. Everybody goes off the record and he says I don't care, I never read what you write. Magic seems very, very much like he cares what people think of him like most of us do. Bird seems genuinely unconcerned.
I have always been a fan of Larry Bird and his aptitude and ethics playing the game, and i am not even American. Looking at his fingers made me cringe and in awe at the same time, of how he was able to play at the highest level in the NBA. Respect indeed was earned!
Good comments. The scary thing about Bird's dead-eye shooting is Larry said after that serious finger injury playing softball with his brother, Larry said he never had the same feel for the ball after the injury! And yet he still is one of the 2-3 greatest CLUTCH shooters in NBA history.
You've been number 1 player since I was 10 yrs old and you came to Boston into our homes on the tv ,you grabbed a piece of our hearts ❤ and that will never change #larrybird
During college Larry and Magic played on an international team - for Joe B. Hall. They did not start, but the the heck out of the starters in practice.
Bird Swept Micheal Jordan in the playoffs, that’s With a Bad Back, Bone Spurs And a bad Achilles’ tendon, No disrespect to MJ, Hes incredible, Bird was unreal !
The real GOAT larry bird , you are the greatest among the great players in nba history past and present...you did it all ! THE ULTIMATE PLAYER !!! The great coach PAt Riley discribe you best ! Just watch Bird play...that's how you play basketball folks !
I could have cared less about basketball. The only time I watched the NBA was when it was Celtics vs Lakers in the regular season or in the finals. Once Bird retired I haven't watched a game since. From what I understand I haven't missed much.
I saw Eddie play when Spring Valley went to Washington Indiana. I remember Bob and Carl. It was a huge season. It seemed like every basketball fan in Southern Indiana had become a Sycamore fan. To this day my Dad is a Celtic fan because Larry played there.
Every NBA Player should be mandated to learn the history of Larry, Magic, and Jordan to know who saved basketball and their own careers. Current players should be ashamed of how soft the game is now.
I know Walton can be long winded, but you should never prevent a new Larry Bird story from entering the world. So even if he's boring you, let Walton finish the story!
Thank out for saying and I WANTED HIM to keep telling!!!!!! He is always smiling and laughing telling them and many won’t tell all that. SO CHEERS 🎉🎉🎉🎉 To Bill Walton and Larry ❤s him regardless of how other people think.!!!! Yes I get the time deal and others on stage too BUT WALTON IS A TRUE LARRY LEGEND #1 cheerleader, friend, confidant, got his back, FAN, AWESOME TEAMMATE and I’m thankful for how he was comparing Larry to the musical geniuses and THE CONCERTS . BECAUSE YOU CAN GET THE MENTAL PICTURE OF ANYTHING RELATED TO LARRY OR RELATING. BECAUSE HE DOES NOT GET THE PROPER CREDIT EXCEPT FROM MANY OF THESE GUYS. Old School competitors respect is huge and given BECAUSE THEY WITNESSED IT ALL AND like was said about the back-brace, the pain pushing through what many didn’t know if they didn’t see or hear BECAUSE STATS DO NOT SHOW ALL THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat that JJ Reddick 🤬🤬🤬 sorry been mad lately for his junk. Guess because I played the game too had to overcome tons of obstacles and Larry was my dad’s favorite and he wanted me to be a boy and we would be shooting at 12 am etc in the freezing cold and I had injuries then and more now and I’m a 1st Responder and degree in sports medicine so I FACTOR IN EVERY DETAIL that “STATS” and PAPER DO NOT SHOW AND MANY TELL HIS STORIES NOT TELLING HOW HE DID ALL THAT AND WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH AND STILL SMOKING THE COMPETITION AND LOOK IP RECENTLY what the Pacer guys said about him when they were stretching before practice and he comes out of the office starts shooting and all SWISH SWISH SWISH AND WAS ALOT OF SHOTS THEN WALKED AWAY LIKE HE WASNT IN NICE CLOTHES AND ANYTHING BUT JUST TO MOTIVATE OR FIRE UP OR INSINUATE THAT IF HE COULDDO THAT THEY COULD TOO............MY dad was a great player and excellent coach and he always said “LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND ACTIONS” not always words...... and that is exactly why Bill gets so excited to talk about him. NOTICE WHAT THEY ALL AGREED ON THAT There would be NO wins or great team WO Larry Legend!!!!! He pushed everyone in a good way even with trash talk. He motivated. AND HE WAS UNSELFISH AND WANTED IT TI BE A TEAM NOT A “him” unless it was to distract all the competition so his TEAM COULD SHOOT & win!!!!!!
I disagree with your sentiment generally but, the event was about tlarry bird and larry bird likes and appreciates walton therefore you kwt it go...if the event was about someone else then that changes ornif the person doesn't appreciate the long the winded walton ..personally i enjoy walton
@@jonjohnson1978. you said it right!!!!! Which also is why he was asked to be part of that. Jackie and Larry know how he is and wanted him there for that. PLUS HE IS LIKE MAGIC ALWAYS SMILING. But I and my dad were both of their fans just saying
Larry was discredited a lot because he was white and many black players thought that was why he was given so much fanfare. I disagree it was because he played a complete game a very sound player and even Wilt said he played the game correctly. Larry played excelent defense and made unreal passes that and his clutch shooting put him ahead of MJ both MJs.
I LOVE listening to Walton absolutely Love him.. 2 Classic lines "WHY MARV ISN'T GOING 2BE HERE." Reference to him dressing up like a Woman in hotel room during Sex with a Hooker lol 😆 😂 THAT & "Jackie Go TO THE LADIES ROOM." LOL 😆 🤣 OMG HOW CAN U SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT ABOUT A WOMAN LMAO 🤣 😂.. IM SURE THIS IS A HUGE DEAL 2DAY OVER A JOKE...
I haven’t told anyone but after Walt Frazier was sent to Cleveland (and retired) I watched all of the Celtic games and tried to learn about The Legend! I watched Larry Bird but couldn’t understand your Legend ability, brilliance, toughness, heart, human sense, fun...I’m almost 70 years old now (2019) I’m beginning to learn. I even made 8 of 10 shots on basketball a few days ago...I learned that it takes everything just to be Ok! I can’t believe what it takes to be a Legend. Larry you are the best that I saw in Basketball/life. Larry I’m trying to teach my 7 2/3 year old great grandson. Michael is understanding life, baseball and Basketball & more. Bird is a teacher and we’re both getting education & joyous... Love Bird’s compleat humanity, even though not perfect! Ken newsweb@msn.com
In his last four years of playing he had both his Achilles blew out he had back surgery and the most phenomenal thing was that all those stats that he has that are so amazing for of the years of that he was injured and I mean hell and he did all that in 13 years there’s a lot of other players who have better stats but when you look how many years they played against how many years he played you got to take a look at that you really do because he did all what he did in 13 years it’s amazing
I think I finally figured out why I've fixated on Bird, a figure from my youth in New England: he was supremely competent, had real as opposed to fraudulent confidence, got shit done big time, and was obviously and deeply kind (off the court!). Quite the contrary to what we have now. Jackie rolled with Bird's great humor pretty well. She needed to maintain a little statue-dedication dignity, but she knew to let it roll.
Played with Boston his entire career. Not like todays prima donnas with inflated 3 pt scoring and changing teams every year respecting money more than the game.
Obviously Jackie always did Legend right for they have a nice dynamic and he wouldn't have had all their dealings had she not been a straight shooter... I want Bill to tell more stories....Damn he's hilarious....I wish Quinn wild given the framework of his own story so Bill could tell it.
I wont say I admire Bird , because I too understood how some people can take avoiding an innocent hug as being 'rude'. Some of us our not as dialed in to our emotional feelings as others. And if people knew anything about Larry and how his upbringing was difficult ... they shouldnt judge so quickly . Granted ...Magic was a kid and didnt realiize Bird meant nothing wrong in avoiding a hug...as he would learn how The Old School Ways of being raised was much more priceless then of his own upbringing. And Larry also has dealt with what 90 percent of us havent. . Losing his father and the circumstances of the way he was lost. Until you walk into someone shoes people shouldnt judge so quickly. All this said It was good seeing Bird being more annimated and in a comical type mood then I have never saw him like ever B4. I was raised in Laker country to where Purple and Gold were constantly around me . And there was me .. In my Green and White Celtics jacket .. My Larry bird jersey. my converse AllStar Birds shoe. My mom and grandparents moved to Southern Cali after she graduated high school. in Watertown Massachusettes .. which is roughly 12 miles west of Boston . So being that I spent a good majority of my childhood with at my grandparents ... and all The Boston sports teams was a written law passed down from my grandfather .. unto me. And luckily , the only sports teams that got TV time back in those days .. were teams that were above average. Celtics games were televised and the rest is history It was like being raised in a Hornets nest . Cause 99 percent of my fellow classmates were all about the all about The Lakers . So it made for great trash talk during the finals. And not just Birds play , but ALL OF THE BEST STARTING FIVE EVER ASSEMBLEDs play is what gave me many off 'one ups' after the Lakers and Celtics would play head to head . Which was twice during the regular season and then in the playoffs. . Much Love for Larry and although he is extrremely humble.. , it was awesome having him to look up to and put the question to rest ... if White people can play Basketball. . I tip my hat to you Larry and congrats on your career. Sorry about the C's sweeping the Pacers this year, Next year , Indiana will be a force in the playoffs that many wont wanna play .
My goodness. Was Bill in a manic episode or what? I want some of that wiskey he was drinking. Jackie Mac was a class act to not verbally take him to task. But we can all agree Larry Bird is the type of guy who can lead men and they will follow. Whether charging a hill in Vietnam or lead the team on the hardwood. Those type of men lead by example and the troops will do anything that is asked of them.

I really wish Quinn woulda stopped trying to intervene as Bill Walton was telling his stories...For whatever reason u could tell Walton was getting on his nerves but I'm telling u he was the only one it was bothering...I wish he would have stopped interrupting and let the man tell his stories, he ruined it...Nothing personal but not everyone is a great storyteller like Bill is and maybe ur just a little jealous I dunno so I'd like to have this segment done over without Quinn getting so irritated...If you cant abide by that then maybe just go sit down in audience and if that bothers you then you could have simply left...? N I really respect QB but for whatever reason he just couldn't let the man do his thing which I was loving....With all due respect , for real.....
You got to admit that Jackie Mac knows her stats she remembers everything she's obviously a Hoosier got to respect the journalist who does her homework
@@healthyone100 But to a Hoosier, it's not BASKETBALL and therefore inferior - even though it is a Hoosier race. To put things in perspective, do a search sometime on "largest high school gyms" sometime. Hint - almost ALL of them are in Indiana, 2 or 3 exceptions depending on the exact timeframe - and that list you should find is normally "all gyms 7000 or more capacity" with somewhat more than 10 entries (commonly 14 give or take 1). Us Hoosiers for the most part (I've known a VERY FEW native Hoosier exceptions) take our basketball SERIOUSLY.
i can't say he compares to a battlefield hero. that wasn't one of his tests. i don't think he would have left anything but honorable efforts in such a situation. that's the thing i feel about him.
I apologize for my language, but if I were Bill Walton, I would have fucked up Quinn. Nobody gives a fuck about anything he has done in basketball. Like Bill Walton or not, he had his run in the league where he could not be stopped. He also was one of the best passing big men of all time.
It's a tough call deciding who the "biggest name" associated with Indiana State basketball is. Some of us remember that John Wooden was the coach there for 2 years (before the name change from Indiana Teacher's College) before he went to UCLA. Poor Mel Daniels, he'd be #1 at most colleges instead of a somewhat distant #3....
@@cindyknudson2715 Mel was at ISU when Bird went there, (Bob King had been Mel's primary college coach at New Mexico). I am certain he helped teach Bird a lot about the game, both were almost identical height and they were similar build.
Larry is A CLASS ACT!!!! FROM. THE START OF HIS CARREER TIL NOW... LARRY YOU ARE THE GREATEST PLAYER TO EVER TOUCH A BASKETBALL!!!!! SERIOUSLY "THE LIVING LEGEND"!!!!!
Right 👍😕🏀👍

Wait...are you Paul Mokeski?
LarBurd is trending amongst jr high basketball players here in KC, that’s all they say when they practice! LarBurd.. over and over again.. it’s hysterical they love him!
Jackie is an absolute pro, knowing the info and letting her guests talk without interrupting. She’s fantastic.
Congratulations Larry Bird. You deserve every honor and tribute for your fine playing, coaching and contribution to basketball.
100 percent agree
Thank you Larry for all of your hard work, and for not giving up. You are a mentor that will live forever. Really.

Bill Walton made the Entire Event , Fun and Enjoyable. Larry Legend
The best way to REALLY appreciate what Bird did on the court was to see him play live at the Garden
Hearing Larry Bird speak about his assistant coaches and his players. He definitely one hell of a player and coach. His basketball intelligence is really superb.

Drunk Walton is full value for money........
Jackie is an awesome woman too. Love to her and her family.
I don't look at Jackie as a woman. That places inherent restrictions on her. I call Jackie a person.
You've been number 1 player since I was 10 yrs old and you came to Boston into our homes on the tv ,you grabbed a piece of our hearts ❤ and that will never change #larrybird
The definition of "NO FUKS GIVEN!" Larry Bird.
Man, Larry's right index finger was really mangled from that early baseball injury. Amazing that he compensated so well... but of course he did!
Bird swept them twice
And his little finger is a twisted mess too.
Bill Walton is so funny
Joe B. Hall saying Bird was too slow to play at Kentucky is the ultimate “I wasn’t paying close attention that day” take
During college Larry and Magic played on an international team - for Joe B. Hall. They did not start, but the the heck out of the starters in practice.
Here from Boston, Ma. Larry’s work ethic was instilled in me at an early age. Hoosiers should be proud to call Larry one of their own.
"Back home again in Indiana" but i'm from n.y. Jim Nabors and the Indy 500 and Larry Legand!
When you look up the definition of "Hoosier Hustle", that's Larry's picture.
His index and pinky fingers on his shooting hand are absolutely mangled and he was STILL one of the top five players in NBA history.
Larry Bird is my role model. Him and MJ are the greatest!!!
Bird Swept Micheal Jordan in the playoffs, that’s With a Bad Back, Bone Spurs And a bad Achilles’ tendon, No disrespect to MJ, Hes incredible, Bird was unreal !
NO!!!!!! BIRD SWEPT MJ "TWICE"IN THE PLAYOFFS!
MJ COULDNT GET "1"

Basketball is a TEAM sport. Those who forget that don’t know b-ball.
@Wes Sanders There is if you spell it, "teiam."
Bird wasn't injured in 86
Bill had one too many cbd gummies .
He graduated to sativa edibles
1 hour in.....you're welcome.
Bill makes this great
Please Quinn leave the man alone and let him tell his stories for Pete sake....Damn it!!!
Quite a n is jealous

BMW Repair Crew Bill will speak more than the truth.

48:53 Man, that kind of wit and humor, only Larry 😂😂
bill walton should have co hosted this event
He did! He just didn't tell anyone before he got there.
Who ever heard of Indiana State before, or since for that matter, they were in the NCAA playoffs against Michigan State?
I think I finally figured out why I've fixated on Bird, a figure from my youth in New England: he was supremely competent, had real as opposed to fraudulent confidence, got shit done big time, and was obviously and deeply kind (off the court!).

Very proud of you Larry Bird
“Drawing a play for himself” lol
Let's get the most uncomfortable chairs we can find for NBA players 🤣
Think Walton drank that bottle before going on stage
Larry Bird, best player everytime in Nba ❤️👏
Bill Walton though :) Crying right now :)))
He was funny as hell.
Walton is hilarious!
Larry Bird...enough said
This is absolutely priceless
30 seconds into his arrival he already starts talking shit i love it 😂😂😂
"Is it really trash talk when you can back it up?"
James Worthy as I recall.
They shouldn't have placed these execs after Bill...what a slow down!!
an impact incomparable to all basketball player , street or professional level !!!

I tip my hat to you Larry and congrats on your career. Sorry about the C's sweeping the Pacers this year, Next year , Indiana will be a force in the playoffs that many wont wanna play .
Christ get a life
@@anthonylodge7516 That's an odd pray. And Christ *does* have a life. Christ is Risen.
I can tell you this.
Bird went to class.
Bill Walton being Bill Walton
He's high on something...lol
@@markhelton6128 It was just the bottle of whiskey left in his room.
My goodness. Was Bill in a manic episode or what? I want some of that wiskey he was drinking. Jackie Mac was a class act to not verbally take him to task. But we can all agree Larry Bird is the type of guy who can lead men and they will follow. Whether charging a hill in Vietnam or lead the team on the hardwood. Those type of men lead by example and the troops will do anything that is asked of them.
Thank out for saying and I WANTED HIM to keep telling!!!!!! He is always smiling and laughing telling them and many won’t tell all that. SO CHEERS 🎉🎉🎉🎉 To Bill Walton and Larry ❤s him regardless of how other people think.!!!! Yes I get the time deal and others on stage too BUT WALTON IS A TRUE LARRY LEGEND #1 cheerleader, friend, confidant, got his back, FAN, AWESOME TEAMMATE and I’m thankful for how he was comparing Larry to the musical geniuses and THE CONCERTS . BECAUSE YOU CAN GET THE MENTAL PICTURE OF ANYTHING RELATED TO LARRY OR RELATING. BECAUSE HE DOES NOT GET THE PROPER CREDIT EXCEPT FROM MANY OF THESE GUYS. Old School competitors respect is huge and given BECAUSE THEY WITNESSED IT ALL AND like was said about the back-brace, the pain pushing through what many didn’t know if they didn’t see or hear BECAUSE STATS DO NOT SHOW ALL THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat that JJ Reddick 🤬🤬🤬 sorry been mad lately for his junk. Guess because I played the game too had to overcome tons of obstacles and Larry was my dad’s favorite and he wanted me to be a boy and we would be shooting at 12 am etc in the freezing cold and I had injuries then and more now and I’m a 1st Responder and degree in sports medicine so I FACTOR IN EVERY DETAIL that “STATS” and PAPER DO NOT SHOW AND MANY TELL HIS STORIES NOT TELLING HOW HE DID ALL THAT AND WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH AND STILL SMOKING THE COMPETITION AND LOOK IP RECENTLY what the Pacer guys said about him when they were stretching before practice and he comes out of the office starts shooting and all SWISH SWISH SWISH AND WAS ALOT OF SHOTS THEN WALKED AWAY LIKE HE WASNT IN NICE CLOTHES AND ANYTHING BUT JUST TO MOTIVATE OR FIRE UP OR INSINUATE THAT IF HE COULDDO THAT THEY COULD TOO............MY dad was a great player and excellent coach and he always said “LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND ACTIONS” not always words...... and that is exactly why Bill gets so excited to talk about him. NOTICE WHAT THEY ALL AGREED ON THAT There would be NO wins or great team WO Larry Legend!!!!! He pushed everyone in a good way even with trash talk. He motivated. AND HE WAS UNSELFISH AND WANTED IT TI BE A TEAM NOT A “him” unless it was to distract all the competition so his TEAM COULD SHOOT & win!!!!!!
EXACTLY! EXACTLY! EXACTLY!
Damn, Jackie looks fine in that dress...
I really wish Quinn woulda stopped trying to intervene as Bill Walton was telling his stories...For whatever reason u could tell Walton was getting on his nerves but I'm telling u he was the only one it was bothering...I wish he would have stopped interrupting and let the man tell his stories, he ruined it...Nothing personal but not everyone is a great storyteller like Bill is and maybe ur just a little jealous I dunno so I'd like to have this segment done over without Quinn getting so irritated...If you cant abide by that then maybe just go sit down in audience and if that bothers you then you could have simply left...? N I really respect QB but for whatever reason he just couldn't let the man do his thing which I was loving....With all due respect , for real.....
I thought he was a jerk and he spoiled it.
Bill walton cool
Too damn cool
You got to admit that Jackie Mac knows her stats she remembers everything she's obviously a Hoosier got to respect the journalist who does her homework
Damn, Walton was high as f@#$ that night
What is Quinn Buckner doing up there, and why is he interrupting Walton?
I cannot stand Walton! he must have mentioned the greatful dead/jerry garcia more than he did Larry/Celtics
bill rolled some...
Bill Walton. What a doof.
What a great week to be a Sycamore!
Love the video but sound is too low even with speakers 😢
The Indy 500 and basketball doesn't get any better than that!
Back in the day, the Indy 500 was a tolerable way for Hoosiers to pass the time between basketball seasons.
Still is, except for the NBA.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Is still the greatest sporting event in the world and its in good hands with Penske!
@@healthyone100 But to a Hoosier, it's not BASKETBALL and therefore inferior - even though it is a Hoosier race.
To put things in perspective, do a search sometime on "largest high school gyms" sometime.
Hint - almost ALL of them are in Indiana, 2 or 3 exceptions depending on the exact timeframe - and that list you should find is normally "all gyms 7000 or more capacity" with somewhat more than 10 entries (commonly 14 give or take 1).
Us Hoosiers for the most part (I've known a VERY FEW native Hoosier exceptions) take our basketball SERIOUSLY.
larry's pushin me,larry's pushin me 30:25 lol
Larry is thinking, fuck who forgot to give Bill the bud we special ordered from Oregon for him.
Is that Joe Klein? Forgive me if thats not how its spelt. Dude looks massive.
He's a big guy. 6' 11"
Bill Walton is a treasure
Larry Legend is aptly named. John Legend is not.
U must be a bit dizzy?
Awesome✨
John cenna should have taught Larry
" you can't see me "
Walton is out of control.
The greatest!!!
Gotta love Bill but he's like that annoying mate who won't shut the fk up to much weed lol.
Why does everyone say he can’t jump?
Don’t you have to jump to dunk the ball?
Happy Birthday LJB
Bill upstaged that bald dude so bad.
i can't say he compares to a battlefield hero. that wasn't one of his tests. i don't think he would have left anything but honorable efforts in such a situation. that's the thing i feel about him.
Yeah,like the way he treated his pregnant GF n her daughter?Spare me...
@@noelharris1177 At least get the story right 🤦🏻♀️. Or maybe it's just best to not gossip about other people's personal lives.
@@cindyknudson2715 Fax
I apologize for my language, but if I were Bill Walton, I would have fucked up Quinn. Nobody gives a fuck about anything he has done in basketball. Like Bill Walton or not, he had his run in the league where he could not be stopped. He also was one of the best passing big men of all time.
It's a tough call deciding who the "biggest name" associated with Indiana State basketball is.
Some of us remember that John Wooden was the coach there for 2 years (before the name change from Indiana Teacher's College) before he went to UCLA.
Poor Mel Daniels, he'd be #1 at most colleges instead of a somewhat distant #3....
I think I read that Mel Daniels was an assistant coach at ISU when Larry was there.
He greatly admired Bird's skills.
@@cindyknudson2715 Mel was at ISU when Bird went there, (Bob King had been Mel's primary college coach at New Mexico).
I am certain he helped teach Bird a lot about the game, both were almost identical height and they were similar build.
damn larrys right index finger looks soooo fucked.
And the little finger on the same hand.
Bill is GREAT'
Is there any doubt, if Bird had the right coach at IU, they win 2 or 3 NCAA Championships.
No, Knight has to be the usual HS, and he blew it.
It is amazing to think about the high-quality athletes who have played for Coach Knight!
And Bird never played under Knight. Not even a practice.
It wasn't the right place and time.
I never knew that I hated Quinn Buckner until now
😂
😂
a year later and I had the same reaction.
thanks for the upload
