Re: Larry Bird photomatched shoes
Hah! It is amazing how strongly you can feel about these guys. I have been a fan of the Celtics and Larry since early eighties when I was a kid, but I have to give credit to Magic and Kareen; they were just so good and really were the team of the eighties. I remember going to see Kareen at a book singing in late eighties in Boston and thinking, "this guy is the enemy!" Just a great rivalry.

I think as time goes on you stop hating your "enemy" and start to appreciate the battles and what they brought to the table. At that point the "hate" you feel starts to change into respect. I also hate the Spurs and hated Tim Duncan and Pop. At this point though, I find myself oddly cheering them and not wanting it to end. I actually have considered looking for a Bird or Duncan gamer to go with my collection, but I'm not sure my house wouldn't instantly burst into flames, so at the moment I haven't

Re: Larry Bird photomatched shoes
Hello Everyone-
Maybe it is my age speaking, but as the year pass I find myself reflecting more on 1980's NBA Basketball, the game of my youth. I get particularly nostalgic with the start of the NBA season!
My collection is small, but what I have is meaningful to me. In honor of the season I decided to post probably the best picture of my 1986 Bird shoes in action. They show Bird going up against Hakeem - after faking out Rodney McCray- in Game 6. Bird was knocked to floor and later hit two free throws. If you refer to the picture in my earlier post you will see both shoes match up.
Thanks guys and Go Celtics!
