White media caped for Larry Bird LLS

[dalyricalbandit]

Larry Legend was a real nigga

 

[nujerz84]

Barkley and Malone Held Bird for Dr J to get shots on him

 

[A$AP_A$TON]

My respect for him grows. Larry Fuckin' Legend.

......

 

[Inglewood_B]

I feel like saying "white media" is mostly redundant.

Dead @ that story tho

 

[its....JOHN B]

Thread is not going as planned for threadstarter, he thought he was on to something

 

[fightforolddc]

Wha? Im not throwin shade just pointing out that he got away with something that a black player wouldn't. That's a fact.

 

[fightforolddc]

30 years later they still feel the need to gush over their lord savior:

"You Know Who Didn't Cramp in Extreme Heat? Larry Bird" Dumb comparison

 

[The Lonious Monk]

So we going to act like Charles Barkley didn't throw a man through a window and come out of that with little to no bad repercussions.

Has nothing to do with race, it's just the time period when social media wasn't running people's lives:

MJ had a huge gambling problem and was caught cheating on his wife.

Barkley had/has a huge gambling problem.

Dr. J doesn't give two shits about his kids either.

Magic was obviously screwing anything that looked at him.

Didn't ruin their images either, as they all still have analyst jobs/endorsements.

Dope articles on Bird i came across from before he was a Celtic:
http://books.google.com/books?id=_pIH7oj3ZHcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=isbn:1582610088&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AViYU-i0O_KzsQTu3IHwBg&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

Can't hate he sounds real as fuck dating back to even his younger days. With a pro contract on the table he was still going to his hood to drive a trash truck. These cats today aren't built like that, I really wish he was black lol

Bird was gully

In fact 90% of athletes screwing anything, not just the ones getting caught, or catching rape cases, or diseases. It's a man's nature.

Dr. J had be sooo tight. Bird was 17 for 23 in just 30 minutes lol

Bet Bird got a bit cocky and Erving had no choice but to sleep him

Yuck Lol smh Thats just nasty...I aint even gon lie, i need to go back and watch more Bird vids.

 

[S2J]

Hold on tho yall exagerating the level in which MJ got away w/ stuff tho

It only seems like MJ got away w/ shyt b/c we now know dude was a humongous asshole. Lol But AT THE TIME many stories trickled out.

-Jordan's gambling problems

-His ties to felons and dudes who got murdered (google Slim Bouler and Eddie Dow)

-His mistres, Karla Knafel (I was a kid and even i knew this name, it was a shock to think MJ had a mistress. How naive. Lol)

-They killed him in the press when he was out gambling before that Knicks playoffs game.

And now that i think about it, how do you think we even KNOW about his gambling problem??? LOL Duh. They reported it.

Do some research. Google Jordan, gambling, mob, etc and you'll get a shytload of articles from 92-94.

The backlash wasn't the same as it would be today. Tiger woods wouldn't have went thru all that in the 80s

 

[king hassan]

Magic was saying they wanted to fight Larry because he was lighting they ass up and talking shit at the same time, and one particular shot he hit a 3 near the Lakers bench and ran down the court eyeballing the whole squad with NF'sG!

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]

Larry *no fucks given *Bird

They was telling a lil story on first take about his trash talking how he would tell dudes they wasnt shit and how many points he was bout to drop lol I probably would a socked him to
