Is this a joke??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So all of Larry Bird's rebounds, all of his inside moves were all so wonderful and clean???? Are you kidding?

He never threw "an elbow?" All of HIS HIGHNESS Larry Bird's elbows were all clean?

Jordan said if NBA players were surveyed Bird would have been voted near the top of being the dirtiest.

Surely YOU just! He never went out to injure someone. Physical contact is part of the game. The point WAS it wasn't INTENTIONAL

What does "could have been hurt" mean? Further - what if you instigate? Does that count?

You can go on youtube and see Bird having fist fights. Everyone else's fault, right? Bird was a non-instigator every time? FIST FIGHTS. FIST FIGHTS. FIST FIGHTS. One of them with Dr J!! There's an interview with DR J and Michael Kaye and he was asked "IS there a player you wanted to punch in the mouth?" And he said "Larry Bird." You think Bird was playing clean?

I loved Larry Bird but imo your revising history and / or creating a double-standard. .

Larry Bird I love him to death but he was an instigator. He didn't have the athtticsm so he used his wits, his body to throw players off but he played dirty and he instigated with his both his body and his mouth. But ofc ":how you look" matters more, right?

I'm not going to waste time with you or trade stories. Yes he was a trash talker, but it was the opponent's that lost their cool, thru the first punch or act of aggression. Bird used psychology to make his opponents make a mistake.

OFC How silly of me to think throwing punches and it means they aren't out to really hurt anyone. I guess in only the 'I Love you Larry Bird and HE Can DO NO WRONG fan club" would this be justified.

Hey btw, per the link below I see Larry Bird's "psychology used" when he threw his cheap shot punch while the other player has his hands down. I guess Jordan calling him one of the dirtiest players in NBA, DR J wanting to punch him in the mouth even after retired, his fist fights, and the cheap shot punch per the link below all weren't "INTENTIONAL" too, right?

I guess Bird throwing a cheap shot punch and getting thrown out translates to him "not losing his cool." Sure no double-standard here.

I'm done too. Please let's just stop the school-kid whining about DT and trying to justify it with revisionist history. .

Chill hoophusky. You're going to stroke out! This site is supposed to be enjoyable and open to ALL opinions. You've taken 1 opinion and spent all your time trying to prove you're right! Who cares. I don't come here to get into 'pissing' contests.
 
Diana has never and would never deliberately try to hurt some one, this is and always has been her style of play, no different than many players in the WNBA she plays hard, tough and competitive. I guess some people fail to see the beating she takes now and lest we forget in college.
