I remember watching this game! He actually laughed and made the free throw.
Unless those kids are wearing Sixers uniforms, the game I watched was the Clippers I believe, and he went to the line to win the game (tie game). He laughed and made the shots. Legend.
It was the six game of the finals, Detroit only has to successfully inbound the ball to be NBA champions.
All-star Isiah Thomas is throwing in the ball. But he makes a terrible mistake. He throws the ball toward the player Bird is guarding. Bird steals the ball, and hits a streaking Dennis Johnson for the winning lay-up. As soon as Thomas threw the ball in the direction of Larry, he broke for the basket. He knew Bird would make the play.
Game seven was all Celtic. Detroit had to wait another year.
From recent things I’m hearing about Bird, all signs point to him being a savage. Payton said he was a prolific shit talker and Jordan even called him a “problem”. Thats one of the highest compliments you can get from the GOAT.
Devin Booker could never

Man…to earn that much respect.
Steeeeve Perry…
“Hey Larry! I hear your mom’s going out with Squeak!”
Can’t distract the g.o.a.t
There should have been at least one pic of a fat, hairy man in a thong for this to work.
LOL. Larry legend was one of the best FT shooters in the NBA, shooting over 88% from the stripe over his career.
That would be Erika Eleniak if I remember correctly.
Gaaaatoraaaade
Body Glove, I wonder if this is an Atlantic Divison game with Phillie’s blunt fans
Larry would make the shot while getting the joke and separate compliment.
Watching him recount individual plays in interviews 30 years later, this guy was just insanely present.
Great era for basketball and so much fun.
Erica Eleniak was VERY distracting back in the day, I’d have missed for sure
Booker would have them all banned
Good luck, that guy was cold as ice.
Ice cold killer
88.6% career free throw percentage, pretty high percentage against distractions as well it seems.
And Devin booker gets upset by a mascot… 🙄
Who the hell brought a Gatorade poster? oh wait
Larry was a notorious trash talker. He probably thanked those fans for reminding him of such fond memories he had of their moms.
How popular was Larry Bird when he was playing? The two 13 year old boys are looking at him, and not the pictures of the nearly naked women.
Bird smirked and then hit both free throws is the best part.
Larry Legend was a 3 point sniper and fuckin money from the line. Might as well just give him 4 points and keep moving.

Larry Legend, very old school cool.
Been there done that.

Devin Booker would call the cops
I feel like Bird’s type is more a sturdy Indiana gal who can shovel a driveway.
Meanwhile LeBron Is kicking fans out.
80’s NBA was just a level of awesomeness.
Basketball used to be fun, I didn’t know that.
Larry legend doesn’t miss
Lebron would have these people removed the the stadium.
If this was today, LeBron would lose his mind and kick everyone out.
Shaq never needed a distraction to miss a free throw.
i like the scenario where he gets massive erection, still makes the shots, and then continues to play with the erection
This works at WNBA games too.
