Why you don't mess with Larry Bird...
Спорт
Laimbeer throws a couple of elbows and cuts Larry's chin. Bird responds by scoring 31 points in the second half of game 2 of the 1985 ECSF. Never a great idea to get Larry fired up. He scored 42 points in total.

Bird knew what his opponents were going to do before they did. Highest basketball iq in the history of the game.
I'm a Knicks fan, but lived in Boston for my college years and a couple thereafter when Larry came to town. He's made some of the most incredible plays I've ever seen. His passing vision was unbelievable.
If Lebron was on the receiving end of that elbow, they'd had to put him in an ambulance, take to the hospital, declare him dead on arrival and have his funeral the next day, just before he showed up uninjured to the game that very night.

Merkin well said. I am amazed at old NBA players. I saw Lebron take a take a fake charge. There were no fake charges in those days. Today's players, playing under those rules would be hammered by the players of old. Better game back then.

I remember seeing Boston against the Lakers at the forum when I was 15. Larry had over 40 points. He was hitting 3 pointers all over the court. One of the best shooters ever,
This is why Larry is one of the greatest ever. He was far tougher than many people realise
Bird was such a badass. As a Lakers fan, I tip my cap to that guy. I remember Michael Cooper playing him tough, especially in clutch situations. But you double-team him, and he would find the open man. Bird even has said that Coop was one of the toughest defenders he ever faced because he was relentless on D.

Cooper was a hell of a defender against Bird. He recognized that when Larry passed the ball, he was just as dangerous, if not even more dangerous, and stuck with him like glue. Those matchups between those two were worth the price of admission alone!

As a Bostonian did you know Bird mangled his finger in the 84-85 season just before the playoffs? He was at Chelsea’s bar on Merchant’s Row right off of State St. He was there with his drinking buddy Quinn Buckner when he got into a bar fight with a patron. Analysts looking at Bird’s shooting stats showed he was markedly a poorer shooter than prior to the fight. This means we probably would have won the 84-85 season and further ore that would have been a three-peat. 84,85 and 86. If you lookup this fight it was settled out of court and to this day remains sealed as far as ai know. It may have been O’Shaunessy (spelling) that wrote the article. So somewhere out there is a guy that caused us back to back Championships. Injuring what may have been one of the top three players of all time.

Bird soared when the NBA became a full fledged major professional sports league. Three titles for his team is an astounding feat. And he could rebound. I joined the fan club when I noticed ed his skill at defensive rebounding. He ended offensive possessions for the opposition. And then he might pop a three pointer at the other end after dribbling the ball upper. He's one of the greatest athletes all time among all English-speaking. Said another way he's among a large number of American athletes without a peer in any athletic part-time among the English, Irish or Scottish.
