Dude the coach was drinking the beer

The "best effort" he'd seen in a long time.   Bird credits Mike Cooper of the Lakers as one of the Best defenders he played against.

James Worthy asked once whether he’d prefer prefer to guard Bird or Jordan, and he said Jordan “Jordan would make you look slow, Bird would make you look stupid”

Larry wasn't drinking the beer that night however he was known to go to bars the night before game even get into a fight or two and still come back and cook people the next day

If was his coach that was drinking beer KC Jones

The best defenders in
the 80’s was Cooper ,
Rodman , Jordan and
the “ glove “ . Didn’t
Matter , Bird torched
them all ! They will
even tell you that !

I suggest watching "the truth about prime larry bird" to realise why they speak about him the way they do

Shaun kemp covered
Bird that night because
Xman got the Bird flu !
Many small forwards
suddenly were injured
or sick when bird and
the Boston Celtics
were on the Schedule !
You need to react to
“ when Larry bird almost
made a player commit
suicide “

Great reaction! Can’t wait to watch you more as you continue to go down the Bird rabbit hole. 👍👍🔥🔥😀😀

The reason why Bird told the opposing player what he was going to do, was to make it harder for him to do it.  Very often during a game, he was bored.  He had to give away some of his advantage to interest him enough in a play to execute the play.  The side benefit was the opposition knew they couldn't do anything about it when Bird wanted to make a play.

KC Jones, their coach, was the one drinking the beer and checking his watch.

Here's the thing about Sean Kemp.   After a game where Kemp guarded Bird aggressively, Larry told him that it was the best effort he'd seen from a defender all year. Then later he sent him a letter praising his defense again and inviting him to the All-Star game for a workout. As far as the best defender Bird faced, he always gave props to Michael Cooper.

Larry didn’t just cook people.   Larry legend deep-fried players.!!!

He made the greatest players look silly bro , the shit was fuuuuuunny !!!!!!!

As far as Kemp he told him it was the best effort he had seen in a long time. As far as defense goes he has said many times that Coop on the Lakers was one of the best defenses he has ever had. Salley has been quoted saying Rodman could guard anyone and the only one he had problems guarding was named Larry Bird and he would give him the business.... which explains some of the ridiculous statements Rodman has said about LB lol

Everyone hated Lambeer

Larry Bird felt that black basketball players were the best and most athletic.   Bird wanted to play against the best!  So when they put a white player on him he felt they were disrespecting him and his game.

Larry Legend!!!🔥🔥🔥

Psychological warfare, backed up with some serious game. I can’t decide which was the more dangerous part of his game, but the mind games was something that only Kobe and Jordan got close to.

Larry the Legend Bird said, only one man can guard me , it's Jesus😂😂😂
