1.) Regular season game vs. the Seattle Sonics. Close game, comes down to the end... just a few seconds left. As anyone who follows basketball knows, Bird is one of the greatest, if not the best, clutch shooter ever. Xavier McDaniel, Seattle's star player, comes out to guard him. Bird tells him straight up, "I'm going to get the ball right here", points to a spot about 15-18 feet away near the FT line, and tells Xavier he's going to make the shot. They fight for position, they inbound it, Bird gets the ball, right near the spot, Xavier in his face, turns, shoots, drains it. Celtics win.
Never heard this one. Cool.

Quote:
2.) In 1985, Kevin McHale had the game of his life. Caught fire, hit everything. In the 4th quarter, he had 56 points, a Boston Celtics record. Which obviously is quite an accomplishment with their history. Bird tells McHale he should go for 60. McHale, being the good sport and nice guy, still passes on the opportunity. Nine days later, Larry Bird drops 60 points on the Atlanta Hawks. Maybe the best shooting performance of his career, he was hitting so many shots that the Hawks players on the bench were actually laughing and high fiving each other. After the game he is quoted as saying. "It's Kevin's own fault," Bird says. "He should have gone for 60 that day, and I told him that."
For the record -- Bird fed McHale alot of balls that day, and the entire team was enjoying being part of McHale's night.

But yes, Bird did have to prove he could do just as well. That game was one of the funniest/strangest I ever saw. The entire Atlanta bench was completely laughing it's ass off every time Bird hit another shot during the 4th quarter of that game. Bird could not miss that night, and even the opponents were enjoying it.

Quote:
3.) 1988 All-Star Three point competition. Final round, Bird goes around the arc, he gets to the last rack, and he must make his last three shots to win the competition. He hits the first shot, makes the 2nd. Puts the final ball up in the air. After the ball leaves his hand, Bird walks toward midcourt holding up one finger with the ball still in the air.
I can't remember that he needed to hit the last 3, but I do remember him walking away with his index finger up in the air, while the ball was still on its way to the swish.

Addendum to that story -- before the first three point competition (not sure if it was in '88), he told all the participants beforehand "so, which one of you guys is gonna be second?" And then, of course, he goes out and wins the competition.



And he drained it. That is balls.[/QUOTE]

No. There were five racks, starting in the right corner (if you're looking at the net) and working your way around to the left corner. The final shot was drained from the left corner.

The first guy that came to mind was Jim Brown. I don't agree with this guy's criteria and judging. "Bad-ass Mofo" should mean exactly that, and there wasn't a badder mother(shut-yo-mouf/just talkin' 'bout Jim) than Brown.

And I ain't talking about that Fox Sports dude. Only the Nazis and Arnold Schwarzenegger could stop Jim Brown.

That's a nice story, but anybody who has ever played any amount of roundball knows if a ball is drained the moment it leaves their fingers. I had that sense with what little bit I used to play and I can only imagine how much more heightened it is with professionals. I'm not trying to take anything away from Bird, I'm just not impressed with the whole claiming victory part before the ball cleared the net.

Larry Bird. Are you kidding me
Mike Tyson doesn't even make the list?
Why would Tyson make the list? The only people he ever beat up were women and Marvis Frazier.

The main thing I remember about Jack Lambert's style of play was the late-hit, usually accomplished by jumping onto a pile of players like a little girl jumping on a pile of fallen leaves. He's about as Bad-ass as a tattooed My Little Pony.

Some of the list I agree with, others no. My definition of a "bad ass" is very subjective. To me, the guy either had to have a reputation for being physically tough, mean spirited, intimidate his opponent, play hurt, be an iron man, or all of the above. Here's some who come to mind in no particular order:

Football Bad Asses:
Ray Nitschke
Mike Curtis
Larry Wilson
Dick Butkus
Jack Lambert
Ronnie Lott
Jack Youngblood
Willie Lanier
Larry Csonka
Deacon Jones
Chuck Bednarik

Baseball Bad Asses:
Ty Cobb
Bob Gibson
Nolan Ryan
Roger Clemens
Frank Robinson
Jack Morris
Don Drysdale
Lou Pinella
Pete Rose
Kirk Gibson
Cal Ripken, Jr.

Basketball Bad Asses:
Willis Reed
Michael Jordan
Jerry West
John Havlicek
Kermit Washington
Bob Lanier
Bill Laimbeer
Bill Russell
Tiny Archibald
Larry Bird

Nix the Bird, add George Foreman. Forget the George in his 50's, when he was in his 20's he was the hardest hitting boxer ever. He destroyed everyone he fought....

...well, almost everyone.

If I remember right that was Evander Holyfield's ear Tyson chewed off. And the only reason he did that is because Holyfield was beating his ass. Tyson was a badassmofo early in his career but turned out to be a freakshowmofo.

Exactly right. Tyson belongs nowhere near this list. Get a copy of the "Thrilla in Manila" and then tell me Tyson could have whipped Frazier. Let alone Ali.

Before MJ Larry Legend was the greatest pure BB player of all time; IMHO he and MJ are tied as the greatest ever.
There are a thousand stories like the ones related here, of Larry telling people where he ws going to be and what shot he was going to hit. Of how he would eat rookies alive with his vicious smack. Of how he would get embarrassed/pissed when guarded by a white guy.
There are several Bird books out there, IMO one of the best is
Portrait of a Competitor by Roland Lazenby
Great read whether you love him, hate him, or don't know who he is.
