Was Larry Bird really 6'11-7ft

[#1 pick]

Bird is 6'11 with shoes

 

[get these nets]

realized bird was taller than magic in the converse commercial...i I walked away with the mvp



also,,,,,,,,,,,,,,never bought the hurt back paving driveway story

Bird was a blue collar guy who grew doing that kind of manual labor....how would one summer of shoveling asphalt have permanently damaged his back? I think it was his age (he took a year off school and then returned) so he was a good 3 years older than Magic...and playing 40+ games ever year on the fukked up Boston Garden floor that fukked his back up.....also the GM Auerback had the core Celtics guys playing too many minutes in that era.

I was a Celtics fan as a kid, and took the heat for it....

If Parish is 7', and McHale is 6;'10"-6'11". Bird is looking 6'9" ish

I never noticed that David Robinson wore #5 for the Dream Team.
He always wore #50 in his NBA career

So now MJ is 6'4?

Exactly. I don't know why they just can't admit bird 6'11-7ft. Dude towers over PG. I'm like how is this slow cac doing this. Then I check it out and I see he damn near 7ft and it all made sense.

I guess it's more plausible that Robert Parish is 7'3"-7'4" than it is that Michael Jordan is 6'4.5"-6'5"

He hurt is back paving his driveway. He hustled his ass off but it was him getting hurt at home that fukked up the rest of his career. He could still shoot the lights out some nights but his back was fukked; he'd be laying down on the sidelines and shyt because it hurt too much to sit.

If Bird played in today's era he could have gotten his back a lot better with modern medicine and technique. There's been guys who had the same back issues who got better with treatment.

he would be a 300 millionaire and his wife would pay somebody to do the damn driveway.

It was his mom's driveway. And it's not like he couldn't afford to pay a company to do it back then. He's just that type of dude who wants to do everything himself

But that means they're lying about everybody's height.
Because Drexler and Mullin are both supposed to be 6'7" and they both look about an inch taller than MJ.
And Magic looks about two inches taller than those guys and Bird looks about a couple of inches taller than Magic.
Bird being around 7 feet would make sense, people always speak about how was he able to be so good while being so unathletic, but if he's 7 feet tall you can make parallels to Dirks game who is also 7 feet tall.

MJ height always been consistent tho

Lol outside chopping down trees and cutting his own grass and chit and he larry bird.

Man was an idiot paving driveways when you rich and make money based off your body Brehs

 

[Larry Lambo]

Bird was reckless with his body
Magic was reckless with his d**k

That's how the NBA's greatest rivalry ended.
