larry legend still got it

So, not much of a story, there. What should be a story is Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird shooting basketballs. Because nothing is better than watching Larry Bird shoot a basketball. From Nima Zarrabi at SLAM Online:

SLAM: I believe you had talked about seeing Larry shoot in the gym.

PG: He picked a ball up that had rolled over. He rolled up his sleeves and made about 15 in a row and just walked out like nothing just happened. It was the craziest thing I

[Darkess]

NBA players were speechless because an all-time great can hit 15 open jumpers in a row?

Really? The craziest thing you've ever seen?

[Round Mound]

There was also a Story Told by Reggie Miller who talked about Bird shooting around and everyone on the team though Larry was left handed, cause he kept shooting with his off hand and making everything.

Larry is easily the most badass player in NBA history.

Fact. I know so many stories about it, and I dont think anyone else is even close. Off the charts BBIQ, eidetic memory and real badass attitude made him one of the kind.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I wonder if he can still trash talk better than anyone in NBA history.

Everyone can make 15 in a row in this league.

Here's Kobe making a bunch in a row.

You do realize that Bird is 56 and hasn't played in two decades, right?

A warmed up Kobe, in work out clothes, while being an active NBA player, with 5 minutes of repeated attempts, made 11 in a row in his best streak of that clip. A non-warmed up Bird, in non-workout clothes that require the sleeves being rolled up on the spot, while being retired for 20+ years, presumably went a perfect 15 for 15 and walked off like a badass. Yet, you laugh it off like it is nothing. If this story was about Kobe, you would have creamed your pants. You sir, are a joke.

You're pretty much the fool here. You act like a 56 year old can't do that when his entire life was dedicated to shooting a ball. The man probably shot a million shots.

For all we know he still shoots in his driveway.

He probably does shoot all the time. The guy breathes basketball. Still, that is extremely badass of him.

Oh and Peak Bird >>>> Prime Lebron

Everyone who watched the NBA since the 80s knows that Bird is the GOAT SF.

It's only the kids who never saw prime Larry play think LeBron is the GOAT SF

Yes, that GOAT SF Defense!

No. The small advantage Bird has on offense over LeBron is negated by everything LeBron does on the defensive end and his ability to play almost every position.
