Larry Bird gave a critique reply to Kevin Garnett Pinpoints Moment He Knew Celtics Legend Larry Bird Was a ‘Beast’
GettyKevin Garnett pinpoints the time when he realized Celtics legend Larry Bird was more than just a great basketball player.
As the Boston Celtics gear up for the 2024 NBA Finals, Kevin Garnett, the leader of the last Celtics championship team in 2008, spoke about how people are drawing comparisons between Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic and Boston legend Larry Bird.
Speaking on the May 31 “Ticket & the Truth” podcast, Garnett initially went off topic when talking about the Luka/Bird comparisons. He talked about Bird’s famous trash-talking during his playing days. Garnett said he remembered the exact moment when he realized Bird was a “beast” on the basketball court.
“I knew Larry Bird was a beast when he was talking [expletive] to Xavier McDaniel,” Garnett said. “If everybody don’t know who X-Man is, go back and watch X and [Charles Oakley] fighting in [Madison Square Garden]. Ain’t nobody trying to break it up.”
