Hupu October 29th According to the "Indianapolis Star" report, before the start of Game 5 of the World Series finals, Lakers legend Magic Johnson and Celtics legend Larry - Bird participated in the recording of a game promotional video.
At the beginning of the video, the magician smiled and said: "Yo yo yo, we meet Mr. Bird again, how are you doing?"
"I am doing well, Mr. Dodge, the clothes are very good, looking forward to the fifth game game," Bird said.
At the time the video came out, the Boston Red Sox were leading the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1. Currently, the Red Sox have defeated the Dodgers to win the championship.
"Hey man, I thought you only cared about the Celtics and basketball. What do you know about baseball?" Magic asked.
"Baseball and basketball are the same sport," Bird said.
"Same movement?" asked the magician.
"See this?" Bird compared basketball and baseball, "This is round, this (is also round)."
"The floor you play on is hardwood , and the baseball bat is also hardwood. "The two games are the same, you have to shoot the ball and you have to defend," Bird said.
"Your ball control is still good." Magic said.
"Until one team wins," Bird said.
"Brother, we are opponents again tonight." The magician said.
"Just like 1979, I would rather say 1984." Bird said.
In 1984, the Celtics led by Bird defeated the Lakers in seven games. Bird averaged 27 points and 14 rebounds per game during the Finals.
"I love you Larry and I wish you good luck, you know I really mean it even though I don't," Magic said.
"I love you Magic, too, but you really need luck, especially when you're down 3-1," Bird said.
"Larry, the best part is, one of our cities is going to win another championship," Magic said.
Afterwards, Bird raised a Red Sox hat and said: "You know, I need to use a hat to cover my eyes because the championship trophy is so bright."
The magician pointed to his head "That's my style," he said while wearing a Dodgers hat.
"We'll see, my friend, we'll see," Bird said.
