Today after boxing I watched a documentary in the bath about the NBA player Larry Bird. Larry grew up poor in French Lick Indiana and was known as "the hick from French Lick". He had a shit haircut and was relatively unathletic for a basketball player, but had great determination and basketball IQ. Larry went to college but dropped out after his first year, returning to French Lick to become a garbage man. Home life was tough and his father who was addicted to alcohol committed suicide following a divorce.
This motivated Larry to return to basketball and he ended up becoming one of the greatest NBA players of all time, winning the MVP three years in a row. Larry was a clutch player know for his ability to change the flow of games even when he didn't have the ball and was also considered one of the best trash talkers in NBA history. He drank too much and occasionally got into bar fights. Most players regarded him as their toughest opponent even when compared to Michael Jordan. In the 80's he was the spokesperson for the Mc Chicken. A lot of people wish they could try an ecstasy pill from the 90's but I would like to try a Mc Chicken from the 80's, I reckon it would be peak.
Garbage men talking trash is like a fish in water
