TrueHoop Presents: Larry Bird reveals the secrets to his 13year career


Dec 7, 2016
Baxter Holmes ESPN Staff Writer

Baxter Holmes: I read that Kevin Durant did some exercise to strengthen his wrist and it was somehow tied back to you?

Larry Bird: It's interesting. When I was in the sixth grade, we had to go in before school and shoot free throws and lift a little bit. Not like they do. But they had a roller -- a wrist thing.

BH: Did it have a piece of string with a weight attached to it, and you'd roll it up?

LB: [Nods yes.] So my coach said, "You're going to get your wrist stronger." He was the varsity coach. So I did that all the time. And I still think today that's one of the reasons I was able to shoot the way I shot. That, to me, changed everything. I was in the sixth grade -- what, 10, 12 years old.

BH: And your shot was based heavily on the wrists?

LB: It was a slingshot ... but, more than anything, I [worked] on my wrists. I don't know why. He was telling me, "Your wrists have got to get stronger." And I would tell kids, when they start, 8, 9, 10 years old, I would do wrist exercises because they could get the ball instead of down here [around the chest], they could get it up here [above the shoulders]. It's interesting hearing that [Durant] did that, because to me, I always thought that was the key for me when I was young.

BH: He said it made his wrists strong as hell, I believe.

LB: I guarantee you, I did it, and that made a big difference in my game. It was that and my left hand. I was always told you have to be able to dribble with both hands and use both hands normal.

BH: Did you do anything in particular to train your left hand?

LB: Just pound, pound, pound [the ball with my left hand]. That's all I did. Plus the wrist exercises. I did the wrist exercises more than I lifted weights. I was sort of like Kevin. To hell with the weights. I thought basketball would make me strong enough. But the wrist exercises were the key to everything I did.

BH: With as far as science and medicine has come, players today should be in the best shape ever. But some of the methods from the old days were by far better.

LB: The one thing I would've liked to have had was core strength. I remember [Robert] Parrish never touched the ball in the summer, but he did yoga. That's a major part of it -- stretching and breathing. But me, I had to run my 3 miles to warm up. I had to ride my bike 12½ miles. I had to sprint. I always felt that I had to do more, more, more. That's why I broke down. That core strength, I think, would've taken care of most of that, other than the conditioning.

rumor running around... LeBron leaving Cavs?

Hehe it's being reported on by people coming from different perspectives: LeBron James '1%' Leaving Cleveland? Lakers A Real Possibility? - YouTube

I browsed through the comments section; got pretty surprised that many people share my position about LeBron to Lakers.

[Altuy]

Halos wala ng movements na notable. Sino pa bang free agents ang di pa signed?

Mukhang wala na, chronicle; at least for the notable ones.

The business industry has a ghost month... To me, it applies to the NBA as well. August is the literal "off-season" month...

Anyway, sharing this with you, guys:

Lebron's greatness is unquestionable, but the cost of trading the long term health of a team for possible short term success is just too much. Lebron takes so much money away from the table, it becomes impossible to assemble a decent supporting cast around him without the owners paying substantial luxury tax.

I don't think he would get in the way of young players' development though. He may be ball dominant as all superstars are, but he plays the right way by sharing the ball.

Naku pati magulang kasama sa investigation....... sana gumamit lie detector test...

Mukhang mabigat ang accusation...... ito owner ng pacers eh never nagrecruit ng restricted free agent out of respect to other owners... so for him to give the go signal na magreklamo eh meron sila nadiskubre.....

ito pala penalty if ever mapatunayan...

The definition of tampering was provided in the memo, and reads as follows.

"Article 35A of the NBA Constitution states that it's a violation of the league's anti-tampering rule for any person affiliated with an NBA team to directly or indirectly (i) entice, induce, or persuade, or attempt to entice, induce or persuade, any player, coach, GM or other person under contract to any other NBA team to enter into negotiations for or relating to that person's services or to negotiate or contract for such services, or (ii) otherwise interfere with the employment relationship between that employee and the other NBA team."

The Constitution also says that potential penalties for tampering include suspension of the offending person, prohibition of the offending team from hiring the person being tampered with, forfeiture of draft picks, and individual and/or team fines of up to $5 million.

eengot-engot din sa magic.... hindi napigilan yung bunga-nga......halatang-halata sa jimmy kimmel live.....

On second thought...

This might be just a good deterrent for LeBron to come to the Lakers

I'm a laker fan but I hope this tampering allegation turns out to be true.. Simula pa lang sinabi ko na hindi magandang hiring itong johnson and pelinka at maling mali na sinibak si Kupchak.. si Jim Buss lang ang dapat inalis tapos ngayon nasa isang LA team na si Jerry West yun dapat ang pinalit kay Jim Buss sunod sunod palpak na moves ng lakers.. pati mga draft pick na pinagkukuha puro underwhelming itong lonzo ball makita niyo mediocre ito pagdating sa regular season puro daldal lang tatay nito kita nga sa summer league pa lang di na makatira dahil kailangan lagi mag step back or else butata.. walang point guard na aaasenso ng walang outside shot hell be another micheal carter william or kendall marshall.. sabi jason kidd daw eh malayong malayo dahil jason kidd isa sa pinakamatibay katawan at lakas ng depensa nito naalala niyo championship ng dallas eh jason kidd tumao kay durant at minsan na assign pa kay lebron talagang napigilan ni kidd ang mga superstar na to..

as for magic johnson isa pa to na hindi nagiisip sa tweets pa lang kita naman na hindi pang executive utak niya pang court lang talaga hutaena iisa na nga lang matinong player ng lakers trinade pa si d angelo for 1 year rental of brooken foot lopez and mere 27th pick!!! diyan ako tuluyan nawalan pagasa at sabi kong kalokohan lang at sisirain lang lalo ni magic johnson ang lakers bulok na bulok na talaga ang franchise na ito kaya sana matalo sa kaso mas lalo pa maging bulok at mabanned na sila magic at pelinka for sure banned ang mga yan sa nba tapos baka ibenta na lakers sa ibang owner sana matino makabili... D'angelo is laughing his ass right now in brooklyn mantakin ba naman trinade ang franchise player para sa 1 year rental ng brooken foot lopez at 27th ppick dahil daw walang leadership eh pano magkakaleadership binabangko ni luke walton at scott tuwing may lapse sa depensa pero sa opensa kita naman halos ito lang bumuhat sa lakers wala ng ibang makascore puro bulok nakuhang player ingram kalansay payatot randle buwakaw na feeling point guard at t rex braso walang depensa then mozgov deadweight kahit si stockton pa mag point guard diyan mawawalan leadership dahil bulok talaga kakampe at take note 21 years old pa lang bata hinahanapan mo na ng veteran leadership? wtf kaya dapat lang matalo lakers sa kaso na ito kahit laker fan pa ako kung nandaya talaga si johnson at pelinka eh kasalanan nila yun at dapat magbayad ng heavy fine ang lakers at mawalan ng 5 1st round draft picks.. yari lakers pag nagkaganyan mawawala na ang fanbase lipatan lahat sa warriors tapos lalo wala ng free agent na pupunta sa lakers puro sa clippers na yan magpuntahan kabilang LA kung saan nandun ang tunay na magaling na executive which is jerry west... yan ang napala karma na yan ng lakers sa pagiging pabigla bigla ng decision ni hindi nagiisip buti nga kaya sabi ko talaga team kupchak and d angelo ako even if lakers fan ako kampi ako sa pacers sa kasong ito dapat maparusahan ang pandaraya ng lakers..

I like the Kyrie and Thomas, crowder and Zizic trade.

Better rotation for the Celtics if that happens.

Horford, Hayward, Irving, Tatum and Smart as starters.

Brown, Rozier, Morris and Olojeye as back ups.

Tama. Great deals for both teams. Pero gustong isama si Tatum, gahaman na cavs pag ganyan.

Si thomas kahit anong galing hinde kaya magpasalamat Championship yan unless meron superstar na kasama Like LeBron.

Edit:
Just received a notification! It's done! Irving to Boston

Hinde na makapasok sa bleacher Report app. Lol down na yata sa dami nag babasa

kawawang isaiah thomas, iyong rise niya to stardom has just been nipped in the bud

hindi ako magugult kung hindi magkakasundo si thomas at si lebron. iyong passive agressive style ni lebron hindi talaga maganda para sa team chemistry.

pero i was really hoping kyrie was going to detroit. kaso wala talagang player sa pistons na near the level of his caliber

[Sarsi]

Done deal na nga. The players I mentioned plus 2018 pick by Nets.

From the start, I really wanted Thomas to be out of Celtics. And I got my wish

[H1Tman]

I like this deal for Boston. I think I'm becoming a Celtics fan.

For me He excelled because of the system but I doubt Kung ganun pa rin siya sa ibang team. Bansot talaga eh. Kahit anong galing bansot pa rin. He won't last long dahil bugbog katawan niya. Come to think of it when was the last time na nakapag champion ng NBA team ang isang midget?

Buti hinde sinama si Tatum.
