I once talked smack to Larry Bird and he proceeded to give me 35 and he described to me every move he would make beforehand! @NBA

This shyt kills me Imagine dude giving you the PBP of everything he's about to do, and still does it all even after giving you the heads up.

Trash Talking Reputation

You know, they go back and say Bird was a trash talker. I never thought it was trash talking. He was whispering needles. We were playing at Worchester. I don’t even know who was guarding him. Larry supposedly poked him before they started and said, “Hey, what’s the scoring record in this building?” The guy asks why. And he says, “Well you’re guarding me aren’t you?”

LMAO@ Bird telling 'nique he didn't Belong in the league!

“One of the first times I ever played against him, I went out for the opening tip and I went to shake his hand. He just stood there and looked at me stone-faced with his hands behind his back,” Wilkins said recently.

“I was like, ‘Whoa.’ Then we were getting ready for the tip and he says to me, ‘You don’t belong in this league, Homes.’ I couldn’t believe it, but it happened so fast, I didn’t know what to think.

“Then they had the ball and I was on him and he said, ‘I don’t know why they got you guarding me, Homes. You can’t guard me.’ Then, whap, he hit a 3. Then he came down again and said, ‘They made a mistake putting you on me, Homes,’ and he took another 3.”

“Then a little while later, I came down on a break and he was backpedaling. I just went right after him. I jumped up and he tried to challenge, but I took that right through the rim. He fell and hit the basket support.

“He got up and said, ‘I like you, rookie. You’ve got(guts).’ I was happy for a second, and then he said, ‘But I’m still going for 40 on you tonight.’ ”

He then paused the story, stepped back and smiled.

“But I got him,” Wilkins said. “He only scored 39.”

Larry Legend probably watched Colors a short time before this game.

What's even funnier is that Larry said that to 'Nique 5 years before that movie came out.

That's right. Larry was hip, must have been a Boulevard Nights or Walk Proud fan. Or maybe he was down with Cheech and Chong.

Shaquille O'Neal (who should be above Bird in anybody's all-time ranking).

this is INSANITY - shaq is the most dominant player of all time but larry would run slow ass circles around him and light his ass up!
