*73's head implodes with enough force to suck in his entire neighborhood*
"If I need one shot to win the game, give me Jordan. If I need one shot to save my life, give me Bird." - Pat Riley
"I'd rather guard Jordan than Bird."
-James Worthy
"Larry Bird was so good, it was frightening." - Magic
"Larry Bird was a basketball genius."
- Dr. J
When asked who he models his game after the most, Kevin Durant said he mostly watches video of Larry Bird.

Can anyone else confirm if Bird was decent at hoops (for a honk)? Thanks.
A wristband should not be worn on your biceps. It should be on your wrist. A headband should be on your forehead, not on top of your head, cocked back. That bothers me. It's a professional league. The baggy shorts hanging down, I have a problem with that. But that's the way I am. I always had my shirttail tucked in. I always tried to look professional. When I coached, our guys used to do a big dance routine during warm-ups. I used to turn my back on them. I couldn't stand watching them. I went to them and asked if they'd put a stop to it. They asked me why, and I said I thought it was embarrassing—not just to me but to our fans. And they quit doing it. We went to the NBA Finals that year. Did it have anything to do with it? I think it did.

Scuttlebutt that DOZENS of other parties took place and the ESPN and NCAA confirmed the sex.
I don't want to know how that was confirmed but still SCUTTLE BUTT

Cool thing about being a parent right now and pushing the UK basketball agenda is that we are the it program. If you can't sell this to a 3-10 year old then you are doing something wrong.
We were always good, never really cool. Not anymore.

The Dominique Wilkins story about his first time playing Bird is great tho.
You don't belong in this league, Homes [laughing]

What kinda psycho doesn't go with their dad's team? Maybe if you live across the country and there are good local teams, but otherwise, never go against the family. I remember at one point I decided I liked Pepsi over Coke to spite my parents, and I made them call me Elvis instead of Dennis. Then I turned touching 5 and grew the hell up. Cats, Reds, Coca-Cola, BBQ and die UL and IU. I even remember a Larry Bird discussion where I asked my Dad if he was so great, how come he went to IU?*

"Kyle Wiltjer, man, that young fella is pretty much exactly as good as me, but no one can tell because all the players are so much better now."

"That thing I said about who I would choose to make a shot to save my life? I used to think I would say Larry Bird, but now it's a toss-up between him and Kyle Wiltjer. I said Kyle Wiltjer. You know, the kid who plays for Gonzaga."

"I wrote the first six chapters of Infinite Jest during one Larry Bird drive to the basket."

False, no way kids can fall in love with rented one year players no matter how exciting or how much they win, you need to have 4 years players or else no bond can be created.

Larry Bird would be better now. He would tear this league to shreds.
What do you do if your kid doesnt like sports? I've got a nephew in Tuscaloosa who is 11... terrible athlete. Smart kid though, likes building **** and drawing. But i've got little to talk to him about. His dad never played sports either, and I assume thats what the problem is.
Can't imagine not having to take my kid to practices, tossing the ball in the back yard, etc...

James Worthy managed to fashion a HOF career out of running unmolested down the wing and taking passes from Magic Johnson on the break. Kudos to him.
Probably accurate, as would a lot of the elite players from the 80's/early 90's. Remember when guys would cross mid court and then just assaulted? Now they cant touch a guy on the perimeter. Hell, as good as Curry is- even he would have had more trouble 20 years ago when guys guarding him can hand check or drive their forearm into your lower back.
My dad's team is the Browns. When he grew up that is all they had and when the Bengals were created most people switched (my stepdad did) but my dad stayed Browns. I admire that but I still went Bengals because of proximity and the fact they made the Super Bowl in my most impressionable years. Either way in hindsight it was a which **** sandwich would you like to eat? choice. Reds and Kentucky all the way in the family tho.
Golf. That's about the only sport where you can be slow, white, balding in your 20's and be the #1 player in the world.
Same could be said for all that poon he got too,
Dammit, dayball is currently on TV and I can't even keep up with the scores because I'm getting ready for 2 trials in the next 3 weeks. This sucks. Everything sucks. So hard.
I've seen a couple of studies indicating that people's overall happiness peaks at roughly age 25, and then plummets and bottoms out over the next few decades before slowly rising to a where it was before, at age 65. Then it continues to rise to unprecedented levels. In other words, your best times are in college and retirement. The intervening 40 years -- filled with responsibilities, work, commitments & deadlines -- is unmitigated drudgery.
Ugh. Wish I was homeless.

Not to mention dieticians and trainers. Bird would be out drinking beer. Cowens drove a damn cab.
There's no way a terrible athlete could ever be the #1 golfer in the world. Every good player I know is a good athlete, especially the one's who hit it a mile. Takes quite a bit of athleticism to hit a golf ball 300 yards

I've really gone out of my way to not push UK football fanhood on to my kids. I love them too much to put that evil on them. If they want to choose that awful path, it should be their choice.
My two best friends (been that way for over 30 years now) weren't into sports (well, real sports- they played soccer and ran cross country in high school). They were skaters, actually, and introduced me to Nirvana. No clue how it happened, because all I cared about until my junior year of high school was sports.
Yes, basketball was certainly better back when you could just club people to death and not play basketball. How I pine for those days.
The 80's actually resembled the current league moreso than the 90's and early 00's, prior to rule changes. That was the point, to get back to that free flowing form of basketball.
The Bad Boy Pistons ushered in a style of thug ball which was eventually copied by a good portion of the league, hand and hip checking, restricting movement, etc. That lead to styles of iso ball offense which was a disease...an over-the-hill Barkley backing down Vin Baker in the post for 20 seconds while everyone else stood and watched.
The league figured it out, if only college could. Basketball should be a game of skill, it should reward someone like Steph and a system like the Warriors.
Everyone took the wrong lessons from the Pistons and made things worse. Those guys could actually run some offense, unlike numerous **** teams that followed.
THANK YOU.
Like I've said for years, Bill Laimbeer was transcendent. Doesn't get enough credit imo.
The 90s, as a whole, produced the most unwatchable NBA basketball you could ever imagine. The college game was a much better product.
Thank you. Clark and others couldn't have been more wrong, about the 80's anyway. There wasn't much defense being played seeing how teams averaged about 110ppg for the 80's.

My daughter was upset that she has a field trip to a UL baseball game. Told her it was ok to go but don't cheer for them too much.
After UK **** the bed against UL in football again, I took off her little UK jersey and told her that she should not cheer for the Cats in football.
She is deeply brainwashed.

THE 90S! When an NBA team picked a GD dinosaur as as its mascot because of a movie. Also, let's just slap teal, purple, and black on everything! (GUITAR RIFF)

Go to law school, they said. Being a lawyer is great, they said.
Who said being a lawyer is great?
Any article from Pitino little sister Dana Oneil is something spoon fed right to her and I can't imagine anything she reports is completely accurate in any way.
