I am a lifelong Celtics fan so you would get no argument from me about Larry....I was what would be deemed as a Lebron "hater" through the first half of his career....then he became more serious and proved the player everyone thought he would be...the series against GS alone when Irving and Love got hurt started my 180 on Lebron....again....to say hes isnt in the top 2-3 of all time comes with some bias that wont allow you to admit it. What that is I am not sure
I was in the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans the night Bird broke the Celtics scoring record at the time against the Atlanta Hawks.Greatest shooting night I’ve ever seen from anyone.The last shot was him falling into the Hawks bench.The Hawks we’re even going crazy with shots he was making…lol
They had a bidding with crowd after the game for his shoes and the game ball.
One if the biggest regrets I have is I didn’t have the money back then to bid on either.I have his rookie card and a lot of other collectibles but those two items would be top shelf stuff.
The ball went for 350. And the Shoes for 300. I think.Not a lot of money nowadays cause I usually have 2-3 times that in my pocket daily but back then it was A LOT of money.
Both those game used items are worth thousands today.I still have the program and the ticket stubs though..but man I wish I’d have gotten one or both of those items.If they had that same bidding today you wouldn’t be able to touch either of those game used pieces for under 10 grand ….oh well
