Happy birthday Larry Joe Bird !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [View all]

I am 72 years old.

2 years ago I watched a video about Larry Bird.

I don't know why or what made me watch the video about Larry Bird.

I knew who Larry was, but had never seen him or anyone else play basketball.

I had never watched a basketball game, college or professional.

At the end of the video I was crying.

I have watched every game available on YouTube with Larry Bird and the Celtics.

I have watched every documentary I can find about him.

I am in awe of the man's talent !!!

I have watched hundreds of reaction videos of people discovering Larry Bird.

I still cry sometimes.

Sometimes the people reacting cry.

The enjoyment I have gotten after discovering Larry Bird is immeasurable.

I think some people are magical.

Larry is one of those people that I consider magical.

Happy birthday Larry and thank you for all the joy you have given me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
