We asked 17 of Bird’s former teammates and opponents for their best stories about Larry Legend, the epic trash talker. They delivered.

Appreciate Coach Ty Ellis & Pete Mickeal for having me on staff at the NTX Pro Basketball Combine in Dallas. A tremendous staff of NBA-experienced coaches to go with a great group of draft-eligible talent. Looking forward to watching this event grow in the future!

For the record, it doesn’t matter if a player works out at 7am or 2pm… Work is work - this glorification of “up early grinding” as the best way to improve is a load of _______

Always appreciative of Adam Shoulders for allowing me to help lead Crossroads Elite Invitational. The 2022 version of camp was our best yet. Thankful for all of the effort and energy from Coach Don Showalter and the rest of our coaching staff that made it all possible.

Just sayin’ Nobody would complain if the parent of a talented violinist left their HS for a district/prep school with an excellent orchestra program. An athlete leaving for an equivalent academic experience & a better athletic program is a no brainer *if* the talent is there.

The sad thing is, these stats today, even on a winning HS team won’t get you anywhere.

Normalize some variation of 5-Out offense in HS (and ESPECIALLY in middle school) basketball rather than throwing an undersized kid in the post on the offensive end… Too many 5-9 MS players who turn into 6-1 HS players who can’t pass/dribble/shoot Interchangeable players >

Hurricane QB Noah Vellaithambi left off of the AAA All State list… 🤦🏻‍♂️
