Lol get outta here. Bird knows he's not as athletic as these guys, but he still tried to stop it.
I have the utmost ****ing respect for people who try to stop dunks, even when it's obvious they're overmatched.
It's not letting ego get in the way of trying to win. I do NOT respect people who try to stay away for fear of being posterized-- they're essentially giving free 2 pts just so they don't get laughed at.
