James Worthy explains how good Larry Bird was .

I want to show this video because I was watching Byron Scott Cooper and Kareem. It was a really great interview, guys. I was preparing for this. I said I really want to listen to The Legend, the lake itself, the Celtics, where apparently one of these. Seasons, you guys played the Celtics four times in the preseason, yeah, four times in the preseason, why would the NBA put four times in the preseason? He made a lot of money, he made a lot of money and if you remember, in the '70s the NBA was going through an image problem, they were having some problems, they didn't really have an identity.

Commissioner Stern arrived in 1983 and took advantage of two people, one name was Larry Bird, another name was Magic Johnson, they had played in college at Indiana State, then at Michigan State. You've got Larry Bird playing for the Celtics, you've got Magic Johnson paying for the Lakers, and then he consummates this huge contract with CBS and says, I've got something right here. I have blue collar workers from Boston and I have a showtime like Tinseltown Los Angeles and he worked on he built that we never played four preseason games and we had four games there were fights in every game in October and I'm fresh you know I'm fresh out of college and I think what's going on, I said it feels like June and October in May and then then I talked to Bill Sharman who recently passed away.

He was the great, the true Zen Master of the Lakers, he won 33 games in a row. 1972 Championship. I talked to him and then he told me. I the story of the Celtics and the Lakers the Lakers had never beaten the set the Celtics I think the Celtics beat them like eight times Jerry West all those years we played the Celtics never returned to Boston that's how difficult it was for him he never put a standing in the Boston Garden so I started to understand what we were representing and we were representing the girl Hearn Wilt Chamberlain Jerry West, all those guys who lost and then there was that arrogant, cocky Garrett Larry Bird talking trash all the time and what is he really? arrogant she was really really
