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