“He Changed My View On Racism!” 🀯 Bird Was THAT Good. #larrybird #celtics #nba #funnystories

He thought Larry Bird was just a “slow white guy” who would be easy to guard. 🍰 But one practice changed his opinion on racism FOREVER. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‡
Body:
Cedric Maxwell was averaging 20 & 10 and felt like the “King of the Mountain.” Then, a rookie named Larry Bird walked in. Maxwell took one look at him and thought, “This is gonna be a piece of cake.” 🀑
In this hilarious clip, Maxwell admits how wrong he was.
πŸ”₯ The Reality Check:
The Judgement: “He doesn’t look fast, doesn’t look good.”
The Domination: Bird scored from further and further away until Maxwell couldn’t breathe.
The Quote: “Boy, it changed my opinion about racism in this world!” 🀣
The Verdict: Telling the first person he saw: “That f***ing white guy can play!”
This is the moment the NBA realized: The hype was real. And everyone was “about to find out.”
