Larry Bird: Did Larry Bird Chew Tobacco, Was Larry Bird An Asshole, Press Conference

Did Larry Bird Chew Tobacco:

There is the Larry Bird people know, the Boston Celtics legend, the hick from French Lick, the Indiana State University basketball king.

And then there’s a lesser-known Byrd, the college baseball player who finished the game with one of the best career batting averages — .500 — of any player ever to play for the Psychamorous.

But as with any remarkable athletic achievement, and often as with any mythical bird story, there are myths.

Was Larry Bird An Asshole:

We already shared Michael Jordan’s best trash talking stories, now check out these 33 Larry Bird trash talking stories, and try not to finish up in awe.

“Even as a player, and that’s not usually the case, but we were so down at the time, you got time to feel the game. The last shot, he said, off the court “on the trainer’s lap” Coming down, which meant it was going to be three and it was going deep, and then he said “Who wants that?”. Then I think Reggie Brown, I’m not sure who that was, Ran after him, he shot this high rainbow, it went in, Reggie collided with him and accidentally dropped him on our trainer’s lap.

Here’s The Truth About Bird and Baseball, a story that involves a coach’s guts, a field full of edge, a nearly doomed NBA career, and ultimately, Bird walking away from the game.

Press Conference:

While Jordan did manage to win it all with the Bulls, including 6 championships and 5 MVP trophies, he had his fair share of arguments with the team’s management, especially with general manager Jerry Cross.

Krause was the architect of the Bulls. From the decision to draft Michael Jordan to the addition of a supporting cast of Scotty Pippen and Dennis Rodman, the veteran GM was instrumental in the team’s success.

Having helped the team add 6 titles to its name, one would expect that the superstar in the team will have a great relationship with the GM. But that was certainly not the case with Jordan and Krause.
