I mean, you know, when Larry Bird got hot, you know, the jumper and that, but Kareem, there was no stopping it.
And he had a counter to it.
You know, he'd shoot 49 sky hooks.
And then when you thought you had it, he'd drop step and shoot an easy layup.
He was just a masterful.
And, you know, for me, being on the other side of the post and just watching it from, like,
you know, eight feet away.
I didn't realize what I was watching until like right now when I'm talking to you, it's just science.
Hopefully we'll see another shot like that, but I can't even think of a shot
that compares to the Skyhook that will last.
No, never, never talked to Bird, you know, after our last meeting.
I mean, I think I saw him at a Hall of Fame.
We might have dapped up, but we never talked about that play.
But yeah, that was an awesome play.
I had Larry Bird at like the free throw line extended on the baseline, and Danny Ainge was in the corner.
And Cooper was guarding him.
So I thought it was going to be some kind of pick and we were going to switch.
What happened is they cleared Danny Ainge out, baseline.
And Larry Bird pushed me up and they threw that ball over.
And I got to tell you, Dan, he doesn't miss.
