Did Larry Bird surpass Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player?
My football team’s guys have been rocking mustaches lately. Similar to the top photo of the pubescent-looking blonde caterpillar on Larry Bird’s upper lip.
I said, “Nice mustache man!” the other day when one of my Swedish teammates entered the locker room. similar to Larry Bird. He gave me a puzzled look. “Larry Bird?”
Indeed. One of the greatest basketball players of all time, you know. I answered.
“Nope, didn’t know about him.” He stated.
How come? This is unbelievable. I looked over at another colleague. “You do realize who Larry Bird is, correct?”
“Nope,” he replied.
I looked away at another. “I have no idea.”
It resembled the Sandlot scene involving the Colossus of Clout, the Great Bambino, and Baby Ruth, only .
They laughed right away, believing I was making a joke about a white man being one of the greatest basketball players to have ever played on a hard court. “Come on!” they said.
“No, really. Much superior than any European player in the NBA right now, including Dirk, Gasol, and Ginobili. I answered.
In any case, they didn’t and still don’t trust me. When I showed them the picture of the blonde stached Bird below, they were even less likely to believe me. I considered showing them a picture of Kurt Rambis, but decided it would be excessive. In any case, Zlatan is to Sweden as Larry Bird is to Indiana. God. Surprisingly, 95% of Americans are unaware of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s identity. Most likely, they would consider him to be a fancy cheese. I shouldn’t be too harsh, then.
