Dan Shaughnessy Tells LARRY BIRD STORIES Never heard Before!
The second of our latest anthology focused on the legacy media, The old NBA and the symbiotic relationship between the two.
The Boston Globe legend, Dan Shaugnessy did what many like him during the pandemic lockdowns, he wrote a book on being on the road with the NBA of the 1980’s, particularly Larry Bird and the 1980’s Boston Celtics.
Shaugnessy provides a very unique and rare uncensored glimpse at the media life during a league that needed the media to promote their games and the media needed the athletes to build their stories.
Symbiotic and extinct. - Спорт
The road rage story was hilarious! That and the short reference to a ball boy who’s “70 years old!” Great stuff
"Who'd fuck up a wedding cake?" LOL
🤣What a great answer....This is some funny shit!
Happy Birthday Larry 👊🏽
I recently read this book. It is great, and full of stories I'd never heard before.
"Bird noticed everything" of course he did, he knew where all 9 guys on the court were at game speed, you're not going to slip anything past him in the locker room or on the bus.
That was good for listening 👍🏽🍲
This shows some interesting Bird insights, that are not too surprising.
What interesting insights are you referring to? That Larry Bird gains weight by eating wedding cakes?
@@davidr4523 I might say; interesting and kind of comical, minutia; like Bird is cheap, he let Robie drag him around till late at night, and Robie got traded because of it, yes, and he ate wedding cake as common snacks. Not important, but amusing, which was most of the point of the interview, if there was one.
Good stuff! Thank you 🙏
Happy Bday Mr Legend.. Larry can put the sneakers on today and blow these young bums off the court .. RIP NBA
Judging by Larry's responses to questions just like that (even when he was only in his 40's), I doubt that. And he'd be the first to say so. The interview he gave Dan Patrick was great. Dan told him that Jordan said he could beat anybody on his Hornets roster in a one-on-one. Larry just laughed, and said, "No way. At some point, you gotta just let it go". Then Dan said could YOU beat MJ one-on-one right now? Bird said, "I'm old, I'm out of shape, everything hurts, and I just don't have the fire I had back then." Then he paused and said, "But it'd be really close" then busted out laughing again.
@@beachplumb judging the lazy lackluster play of this soft ass cupcake NBA, I could dominate these chumps

Chestnut Hill is a village and part of Brookline MA.
Robert Kraft and Family, Tom Brady etc, lived there. Very wealthy neighborhood, obviously, but Bird would mow his own lawn and folks would gather to watch.
People saw Larry mowing his lawn. But that was a disguise. He was really in training for the next game.
@@andybilakshow260 No doubt. Larry refused to pay to have something done, if he could do it himself. That's how he cooked his back. A $10k driveway, cost him millions.
@@spooge33 yeah, I got the whole scoop way back when. Well maybe not everything. But for sure the most common talked about.
IMHO, if people don't have Larry as #1, they don't really have a mindset in deciding anything basketball related. He could find a workaround to beat anybody.
Well we are the same age again. Happy 65 Legend.
Happy birthday Legend!

Larry probably beating all 3 simultaneously.
I think I'm gonna have to pick up this book.
Mentioning Rick Roby it reminds me of Bob Cousy the announcer who had a lisp. He would say wick wobey with the weebound!
Why do you play music so loud you can't understand the speaker.
Great stories and insight....when the NBA was Fantastic!
What great story are you referring to? That Larry Bird gains weight by eating wedding cakes?
I remember those commercials. Good one..
It be awesome if would turn that music down some so I can here the damn person talking.
Fuckin rights. So distracting
Walton, Ainge, McHale Black&white playing CHESS. I gather that was the warm up game?
I think they're all playing against Larry. Well that explains everything 🤣
Who would fuc up a wedding cake? Classic.
Fame is great until you want some privacy or quiet time. And, when you come to the end of your very public road, why not "turn off the taps?" I think Mr Larry "Legend" Bird has most definitely earned the right to a bit of personal space to do nothin' but listen to the birds and drink a beer 🤔
Turn off the effin background music. Can barely hear him. So distracting
I rarely say OMG! but in this case I have to...The CHB strikes again! Danny boy is a heel. Can you imagine NOT voting for Papi Ortiz for HoF? That's what Danny boy did...that's why he will always be remembered as CHB.
What is this goofy background music? And why so damn loud?
Makes this unique clip ap
Makes this unique clip almost unwatchable
Okay… i love constructive criticism. The sound is off on this. The music is for AI purposes. Creative license blah. You’d rather silence? The person who edited the unique clip is same as who added music lol.
@@NBAHistoryCLNS can you tone it down a bit? My closed caption comes across as a sign wave.
when the music becomes so annoying that stop watching 1 minute in because you can't hear what he is saying
GET RID OF THE MUSIC. drowning everything out.
The music drove me off.
Video would be MUCH better without the music. It is hard to focus on what the man is saying with all the music competing.
No music
just noise
I always liked Shaughnessy's reporting but he did have the habit of dealing himself in to the story. He was not the story.
Jeremy Clarkson
These aren't new, rooster head told these storys two years ago
CUT THE ANNOYING MUSIC.
turn off the music. it serves no benefit & partially obscures the stories.
This clown excluded David Ortiz from his Hall of Fame ballot. Poor excuse for a human being, let alone a sorry journalist.
Who cares about big poppy ? Answer NOBODY
@@ronaldclatterbuck5953 Wrong. Millions of knowledgeable baseball fans admire the great clutch hitter and champion Big Papi. Read a book.
Who cares
Dan Shaughnessy who was upfront and very close to the Celtics truly wasted our time with these very boring stories, such as Larry Bird gains weight by eating wedding cakes. Was this the best story you got? Do you believe this story is interesting to the public? You should have retired at the same time when Bird retired. Terrible journalism.
Shaunessy…you report…negativity..Larry…does not
Not everyone around the world is from Boston. So stop it with the street names and avenues
Shaughnessy can't stand the fact that nobody gives a shit about what he has to say. He will forever be the "curly haired boyfriend". Lmao!!!!
