Tatum & Brown AWESTRUCK Meeting Larry Bird for 1st Time π
Before the game you met Larry Bird for the first time can you take us through that conversation and he was in the locker room before the game uh him um Adam Silver and Dr J they were talking to us um and you know once they got done
I thought I was going to be able to shake his hand I turned around and he was gone um and I was I remember I was saying I was like I never met Larry bir I never been in the same room ISM uh as crazy as that sounds just never it’s
Never worked out uh so Taylor our PR girl um saw him um before I’m sitting on the sideline and she grabbed me she was like he’s over there and I got a chance to go meet him and tell him how you know much of an honor it was to meet him and
Um you know he told me he was looking forward to meeting me so that was crazy to hear him say that uh he’s a lot taller than I thought he was but obviously what he means to the game what he means to city of Boston and in the
Celtics and um you know he’s the ultimate Celtics so it was a it was an honor to meet him kind of the Celtic legend Legends yeah no I didn’t get a chance to meet him he came in and said some words to us as a group we kind of
Like uh he said hello to everybody but we didn’t get a chance to really communicate or talk but it was great that was my first time ever seeing him um you know up close in person I don’t I haven’t seen him around Boston or anything so it was pretty cool to see him

And now Larry goes back into hiding for another 5 yrs lol. That's him. Low key great.
Basketball was dead in Boston
Larry brought it back to life
Everyone always they are surprised by how tall Bird is.
The night Wemby got drafted he met Duncan, Robinson and Ginobili, that s a bit sad to realize this guys who are competing for the title with Boston since few years never met Larry Bird
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! π βοΈ
Bird is the GOAT!! When Bird played it was a manβs game unlike today! Bird was 6β-10β when he played, obviously heβs a little shorter now from getting old
For Tatum and Brown to wear the Celtic green the legend of Larry Bird must cast a long shadow so to actually meet him or be in his presence for the first time must have been a surreal moment.
Pah pah pah pah pah pah pah umma mow mow papa umma mow mow now everybody's heard that the BIRD IS THE WORD ..
Larry listed at 6'9"…he's damn near 7' in shoes.
Much love seeing the young fellas giving respect the the "OG's" of the game.
GOAT = BIRD
In 1986 I was at the Oakland Arena.. just a dumb 15 year old that loved hoops. Got a free ticket to the nose bleeds. Probably $8 back then. I saw a buddy at concession stand at half time β¦ he and his daddy were leaving .. took their ticket and went down to baseline 1st row.. Chris Mullin hit a jumper , amd I screamed , βyou canβt stop him!!ββ¦. Larry went off over the course of the 3rd/4th quarter .. and he stopped at our seats, right before garbage time .. and said , βhey red (I had red hair)β¦β we stopped him.. now how bout you shut up β. To this day, Iβm so honored .. Larry Legend remembered my shit talking for over 90 mins. Then came and reminded me . Hate the Celtics . But that really touched me .
Never liked Pro Basketball before Bird and haven't liked it since Bird………
Love that Larry doesnβt live the lime light. Always finds a an exit through the side door. The guy is so humble.
I'd take Larry everyday over both of them. I do hope they end up winning sth for us but mfs are softer than butter when it matters.
Hopefully Larryβs magic πͺ rubbed off on them a little
Tatum is cool, but I am surprised Brown didn't accuse Bird of being racist because he's white.
lol Jaylen hates white people
