Too funny in fact:
Bird’s sense of humor appeared at the most perfect of moments. Bird cherishes his opportunities to needle Hall of Famer Bill Walton, and poked fun at the big redhead all weekend.
“Bill Walton was my hero years ago,” Bird said. “Then one night we got to play against him in LA when he was playing with the mighty Clippers. The game was about two minutes old when Bill turned to the referee, and said [in a high pitched, whiny voice], ‘Tell Bird to stop pushing me, he won’t stop pushing me!’
“Sometimes,” Bird explained, “it’s better not to meet your heroes.”
