Larry LEGEND

[j41181]

Another trip to memory lane for you dudes! I'm sure some of you have already seen this already. I'd like post it here just in case.

The year is 1988, and Larry Bird beats Chicago, 102-100.

Wow. The man, the legend, Larry Bird! He had such a pretty fade away. I've hear rumors that Jordan tried to emulate Birds fade away. Don't know if it's true but I wouldn't doubt it.

I will never forget when Jordan entered the 3 Point Contest at the All Star Game. He finished in dead last.

It was once said about Bird, just be glad he can't jump like Jordan or he would have scored 40 points a game. Larry Bird is simply one of the greatest players ever to play the game. He also is a career 10 rebounds a game guy! Incredible.

Anyone remember the game Jordan vs Bird for Sega Genesis? I used to play that game all the time as a kid and play as Bird and beat Jordan.

Good stuff j41181! I love seeing vintage highlights of the greatest basketball player of all time.

***Here's another good video (sans the "music"). Magic gives respect to Bird saying he was so good it was "scary"!

Bird...the Best EVER!

A great look at the extraordinary career of Larry Bird.
Many complements from opposing players, including some who said he was harder to guard than Michael Jordan.
Take a look --

New here, so thanks for that link. I wasn't aware that Worthy had that much respect for Bird.
