Dan Shaughnessy Talks Larry Bird and Legendary Boston Celtics Stories | DAN PATRICK SHOW

Larry is the real Goat.

I want this book. NOW! Such a great writer with a fabulous perspective of my favorite athlete of all time, and my favorite team (the ‘86 Celtics).

Larry Bird was a wild dude. One of my favorites.

Wish Larry Legend was still,, he was the Goat!!! Greatest to ever step on hardwood 🥃👍

Larry Bird doesn't get the respect that he deserves. I've always been of the opinion that, Larry Bird is just as good or better than LeBron James in every aspect of basketball with the exception of athleticism.

Dan Patrick is in love with Larry Bird because he brings him up everytime there is a basketball discussion. I mean I'm a fan of Bird too but damn

I hated Bird when I was a kid! I rooted for the 76'ers when they played the Celtics and the Lakers when they played the Celtics...then MJ when he came into the league. Looking back at the 80's now...I have so much respect for Bird and what he was able to accomplish and his attitude. He was a killer. Too bad today's players can't understand and take on that persona. The last person like that was Kobe. Bird is in my Top 5 all time and if I was going to build a team...he'd be on it.

Mr bird was magical

Waiting for my copy of this book!

Love the Legend

In his prime Bird was as good as anybody who ever played the game.

Can someone tell Dan Patrick to stop asking if the Xavier McDaniels story is true? There are tons of videos of him confirming it

Bird. Jordan. Magic in that order

Larry's my favorite athlete all-time I think he's a top-five playerl time of but he never maximize his potential because of hanging out with people like Ruby Roby should have been traded off that team within one year and birds should to Troy's emotions when he's in bars cuz that hurt them badly in the 85 finals the bar fight he got in you going to be measured by championships and individual complement not about bar fights and hanging out with people that are not going to give you the chance to maximize your potential

It’s a good book!!!!

That was the Phoenix game in 83 not Portland when he said, I told you so. McHale told that story.

I bought the book , part is needed!!!

Bird is in my book the 5th greatest BB player ever.

Dan keeps saying the Celtics went 50-1 at home…he must mean 40-1.

When I think of Larry Bird, I think of Stephen Curry. Neither of these guys can be confused with someone like Russell Westbrook, but they make up for the lack of speed and force with their skills and a quiet will to win. As for comparisons, take Lonzo and Jason Kidd; their respective mindsets, together with their reflexes and speed, define them as players. Lonzo's approach to the game is, therefore, much like that of Jason Kidd's. These two compare in the way of temperament, quickness, and their thought process about playing team ball, which is seamless.
