Magic Johnson vs Larry Bird

Really good documentary on HBO on demand right now on this rivalry. I did not realize they faced eachother in the NCAA final back in '79.

This show makes me like Bird even more. That guy never gave two shits about what anyone said about him and still doesn't.

Lots of really interesting stuff in that show, highly recommended.

A classic Bird story. Before the Converse shoot with Magic he was out at his court. After some small talk with producers Bird took a FLAT bball and threw it the length of the court...SWISH. They said he went running around like he just won the NBA Champ.

THAT...is Larry Bird.

Those were the days my friends and I made it a point to watch the games. Start to finish.

Use to love during the playoffs and the Finals getting the crew out in the backyard on our court we made of bricks. Even made it look like the Gahden. Classic battles well past 1am. Floodlights and hoops were the shizzle

I went to college (Indiana State University) with Larry! My buddy was roommates with Tom Crowder who was on the 1979 NCAA team!

That was a great time! Larry took ISU from a little po-dunk university and put us on the map!

Oh, by the way, Billy Packer sucks!!!!

    • Ok so when a team has a plus sign (panthers +7.5) that means Vegas is giving you 7.5 points so  the Panthers can win or even LOSE by 7 points and you would still win your bet, when a team has a minus sign (broncos -7.5) that means you need more that amount to win the bet. The second column is the over / under for total points in the game. That's self explanatory The final column is the money line so just who you think wins the game.  Now the odds. It's oddly reported but essentially that is the odds of your bet. Lower numbers equals less return on your money. It's easiest to think of it has 100 dollars. With -110 odds that nets you essentially 90 dollars (91 to be exact) plus your original money back. So if the Broncos win by 8 and you put 100 dollars in you would net 91 dollars but have 191 in your account. For positive odds like the Panthers money line you can essentially take the first two numbers and multiply it by your betting amount.  So 100% on the Panthers money line would net you 2.8 X 100 280 dollars with the original bet back so 380 would be in your account. Obviously there with really, really low odds like -1000 you are not going to profit that much money unless you bet a HUGE chunk of money.  I'm not advising you to gamble but play around with it in the app and it will tell you how much you are going to make if you hit your bet Also if you are starting to gamble DO NOT bet large amounts. Start with like 1 and 5 dollars. Good gamblers are principled and only bet units of money. For some a unit is 1 dollar for some it's 1000 dollars. Depending on your disposable income but eventually Vegas wins and the sport is too random to bet 100% correct. Excellent gamblers have like a 60% success rate or even less.  Gambling help? Call 1-800...
    • At some point we have to keep proven commodities on the roster, I’ve heard all the rational of releasing cam, trading cmc, trading burns, trading DJ Moore etc  as bad as this roster is we need retain anyone that would fetch a 2nd or 3rd in a trade, can’t trust that we can draft adequate replacements 
    • Fields could be interesting to bring in next off season, but there are some other interesting FA QBs as well. They may not be high profiled Qbs, but interesting enough to take a look.
