Does Larry Bird still ball ever? 

Post#1 » by bullzman23 » Tue Apr 7, 2009 2:36 am

I know this is a bit of a silly question, but it's been something that's been on my mind for quite some time. His back problems ended his career, but does he ever shoot around or anything anymore? The reason I ask is because we'll always see random youtube videos appearing of MJ, Pippen, Magic, etc. lacing it up again.

I know it's not important or anything, but I was just curious. I've always heard stories of MJ coming into the Berto center post retirement and challenging guys like Corey Benjamin to games of 1 on 1. It's meaningless, but it's still interesting. Are there any stories of Bird coming in and challenging people to shooting contests or anything?

Sorry that the thread is a bit dumb, I just was curious.

I actually balled with Larry a few weeks ago.

I, too, schooled Jonathan Bender. He took my class, "How to suck at basketball and still make 30 million dollars in a career."

Jonathan Bender didn't suck. He was great. It's just that his knees weren't.
