2024 still goosebumps

Billy Crystal, the comedian and actor, shared a unique and deep friendship with Muhammad Ali, who affectionately referred to Crystal as his "little brother." Their bond began in the 1970s when Crystal's career was taking off, and Ali was at the height of his fame as a boxing champion. Their Relationship: 1. First Meeting: Billy Crystal and Muhammad Ali met when Crystal performed a comedic impression of Ali. Instead of being offended, Ali loved the impersonation and was charmed by Crystal's humor. This led to a lifelong friendship. 2. Ali's Nickname for Crystal: Ali began calling Crystal his "little brother," highlighting their close bond. Crystal reciprocated the affection, describing Ali as a mentor and a source of inspiration. 3. Tributes and Legacy: Crystal often paid tribute to Ali in his performances, including heartfelt and humorous impersonations. At Muhammad Ali's funeral in 2016, Crystal delivered a moving eulogy, recounting their friendship and celebrating Ali's charisma, humor, and greatness. 4. A Unique Connection: Despite their vastly different backgrounds, Crystal and Ali connected through their shared sense of humor, love for performing, and mutual respect. Crystal once said that Ali's friendship changed his life and taught him about courage, kindness, and being true to oneself. Their relationship remains a testament to Ali's ability to form meaningful bonds with people from all walks of life.

Watching Ali laugh at Billy, is just some of the best moments on this medium.

Why Ali was loved was his bragging was his act and was funny, but in private life Ali was kind, generous and a great guy.

God bless Billy Crystal! A tru brother!

Little brother.

Amazing tribute to the champ.

I'm from Philippines and I was in high school during Thrilla in Manila. I'm a fan of Ali and he made Filipinos happy much like when Manny Pacquiao wins in big fights. There's a shopping mall in Quezon City Philippines named after this great boxer and we call it Ali Mall and this is 2024 and that mall is still in business. I remember also that Ali was an athlete of the century.

Clint Eastwood can talk! 😂

Yes

That was amazing! I feel I've gained armor. Thanks Ali. Heading to you old stomping grounds in Louisville, KY soon ❤️👆🏽

Such a brilliantly thoughtout delivery! Amazing talent always rises to the top! 🙌🏽
