@@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.
"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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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 🤣
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 🤔
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.
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.
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.
The road rage story was hilarious! That and the short reference to a ball boy who’s “70 years old!” Great stuff
Happy Birthday Larry 👊🏽
I recently read this book. It is great, and full of stories I'd never heard before.
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?

"Who'd fuck up a wedding cake?" LOL
🤣What a great answer....This is some funny shit!
Good stuff! Thank you 🙏
That was good for listening 👍🏽🍲

Happy Bday Mr Legend.. Larry can put the sneakers on today and blow these young bums off the court .. RIP NBA

People saw Larry mowing his lawn. But that was a disguise. He was really in training for the next game.

Larry probably beating all 3 simultaneously.
Happy birthday Legend!
I think I'm gonna have to pick up this book.
Why do you play music so loud you can't understand the speaker.
Well we are the same age again. Happy 65 Legend.
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
Mentioning Rick Roby it reminds me of Bob Cousy the announcer who had a lisp. He would say wick wobey with the weebound!

What is this goofy background music? And why so damn loud?
Makes this unique clip ap
Makes this unique clip almost unwatchable

@@NBAHistoryCLNS can you tone it down a bit? My closed caption comes across as a sign wave.
Who would fuc up a wedding cake? Classic.
Turn off the effin background music. Can barely hear him. So distracting
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.
No music
just noise
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.
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
turn off the music. it serves no benefit & partially obscures the stories.
CUT THE ANNOYING MUSIC.
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
Not everyone around the world is from Boston. So stop it with the street names and avenues
Shaunessy…you report…negativity..Larry…does not

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!!!!
