Rodman=Bird
Remember all the crap Rodman got for saying white guys aren't good at b-ball. Turns out Larry Bird agreed, but didn't speak up.
Quote:
Bird was just warming up.
"The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me," Bird said. "I still don't understand why. A white guy would come out (and) I would always ask him: 'What, do you have a problem with your coach? Did your coach do this to you?' And he'd go, 'No,' and I'd say, 'Come on, you got a white guy coming out here to guard me; you got no chance.' For some reason, that always bothered me when I was playing against a white guy."
"Disrespect," Magic said.
Said Bird: "Yeah, disrespect."
