His reasoning was sound, when you think about it. There was a stigma surrounding white players: slow, unatheletic, can't jump, ect. Bird had those stereotypes too, yet he was cooking every great black ball player out there. Yet teams would put a goofy white player on him? It was an insult!

The Pacers weren't doing very well, and Larry had his elbows on his knees and was shaking his head. So I shouted, " HEY, LARRY, SUIT UP AND SHOW THEM HOW IT'S DONE," he did a side glace and smiled...made my day. !!! They also beat the Bulls that day too !!!!
