Bird would tell the player guarding him that he was going to shoot a three. Pull up, and nail it right in his face. He'd tell him he'd make the same shot the next time down the floor, remind him again, and nail it. Even when the defender knew it was coming, he was powerless to shut it down.

Bird and Magic was not Basketballl!!!!! It was art! I have an old video of a Laker and Celtic game 7. My wife who knows very little about basketball watches it and says, "They are so good!" They don't look as good now. Maybe it is the basketbball or maybe the tight pants! LOL

Now, although it will be very tempting to let off steam by giving someone an earful, aren't there better directions in which to channel your energy?
