And Ron Artest was known for his short temper. I'd have loved to see Larry mess with him.

I did not know that about Larry Bird! I looked it up after seeing this post and apparently his trash talking skills and his ability to psych people out are legendary lol

Basketball was a different game back then. As many fists thrown as insults.

I don't really follow or care about basketball, but I grew up during the showtime era and had a relative in LA. Bird was feared. Every so often I'll disappear down a YouTube rabbit hole about him. Dude ruled

I love watching the old Bird trash talking videos. I hated him back then just because I was a Lakers fan, but I had no idea he talked so much. James Worthy said,"Larry Bird was an asshole!"

I believe Worthy is also quoted as saying, "Jordan will make you look slow, Bird will make you look stupid."

I live in Terre Haute, where Indiana State University is. He played here in college. There's a huge ugly statue of him that looks like he's constipated outside the basketball arena and, no shit, they're building a Larry Bird Museum at the convention center.

I hate this fucking town.

Here's the statue:

That's actually much better than he looked in real life.

I don't sports and even I've heard the tales of Lawrence The Bird
