--------
In this clip, Dominique Wilkins revisited his rookie days, sharing an eyebrow-raising encounter with legendary player Larry Bird. Wilkins was a newcomer with Atlanta when he first played opposite Bird, a man he admired greatly. However, when Wilkins attempted to shake hands with Bird, the latter kept his hands behind his back, setting an intense atmosphere for the match. Wilkins admitted that Bird, known for his trash talk, never repeated those words with him after that match, as Bird realized Wilkins wouldn't back down. Wilkins also noted Bird had the ability to back up his words, while Gary Payton agreed that Bird was an accomplished trash talker who would outline his moves before executing them. Payton added that Bird is underrated and should be considered alongside greats like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, being a smart player who constantly showcased his skills.

During Shawn Kemp’s rookie season Bird went up to him and told him “hey rook, you’re the one who broke all my high school records and you bullied my little brother on the court, so I got something for your ass” and Larry ended up scoring 40 and got a triple double in that game. Larry was cold blooded

Bird always had crazy stats but stats don't tell the whole truth. Bird could control the entire game without even scoring himself. He was a basketball savant with a killer instinct who made his teammates Hall of Famers when they likely wouldn't be that without him. He was that guy and a killer on the court.

Mr. Payton was right about Larry Bird being somewhat underrated by lots of people who discount his speed, jumping ability, and basic athleticism, in spite of the numerous awards and championships he's accumulated. Mr. Payton also pointed out that Bird was smart, very smart in fact. He might be the most basketball savvy player I have ever seen in my 75 years on this planet. In addition to the highly developed basketball intellect that he possessed, his tenacity and focus on the job at hand was almost unparalleled also.

80's basketball was something else. Robert Parish lost it, for good reason, and floored Bill Laimbeer with punches and refs didn't even call a foul. That was the true golden age of NBA basketball not because of that but because players had to be ready to go to war to win.

Dom Wilkins was in two wrong eras. He was a rookie in 82 when LA and Boston(Phili once) dominated the NBA. Then the Bag Boy😂 Pistons won 2 rings. Then the Jordan/Pippen curse came on when Chicago won 6 rings, Houston won two with Jordan's absence from the league. I felt that the Hawks could have put at least one team together to win Wilkins a ring. But that's just how competitive that the NBA was in the 80s and 90s with the Larry n Magic show, and the Bulls era.

There was no one better than Larry, Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bill Russell, Jordan, Magic, LeBron, Steph Curry, Kobe, Durant, and there may be a couple that I am leaving out. But there is no way that anyone could not say that any of these guys aren't the GOAT.

@@citypopFM Payton came into the league in 1990, when Bird's career was winding down. Not only did he not play against Bird very much, they wouldn't have guarded each other because they played different positions. Nique came into the NBA in 1982. So Payton wasn't a part of the 80's era, that's what I'm saying.
