The next year he published a book with Jackie MacMullan called "Bird Watching: On Playing and Coaching the Game I Love." More than a dozen years after the fact, allow me to point out the book is fascinating and fun to read, and includes this anecdote from the "Space Jam" set: Quote:

I don't respect him for that. A black man can't have stuff just for him? He has to share it? **** that. Let the racism commence!

Bird was awesome. Great shooter and rebounder, but his passing set him apart. Tough badass, too. Didn't take any crap.

Birdman does not give a ****; love him. The Bird/Magic documentary was a really good view IMHO.
