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

Great read whether you love him, hate him, or don't know who he is.

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.

Do you leave construction sites with one finger held high after hammering in the last nail?

Ehh... I can usually tell when I miss, when I hit a shot is a lot more hit/miss. Sometimes it feels good leaving your hand and still doesn't go in. Maybe we need to hit the playground and see just how many shots we can predict accurately....

Hey, that was a better picture of it, where'd it go?

That is one my favorite sports moments though, cracks me up every time I see it. In front of a packed arena and a nationwide audience back when the NBA was actually really popular... there aren't very many people with the balls to do that.

The photo is erroneous. It's not the moment you are describing.

Not the picture I saw. That was the right picture. The final rack is in the bottom left corner... he put the last ball up from the corner and walked toward center court. He looks like he's running onto the floor, but he's just walking toward center court...

My bad. In my mind's eye I saw him making the shot from the top of the key and turning around.

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.

Awesome, both pictures. I tried to find that last one from the actual TV footage but I couldn't. I find it hard not to just laugh every time I see that clip.
