I don’t even know how you can possibly top that trash talk lmao Larry was quick with it

lol i watched a documentary clip about it where Larry says that he was walking into the locker room and really didn’t know what to say to everyone else, and so then he walks in, and everyone was kinda quiet and maybe a tad bit nervous, so he tried to break the ice with a funny little jab and said that line as a joke, but everyone was so nervous and shook that they took it seriously😅😅 Psychological Victory without even trying!

Larry is a such a legend😂😂

Which documentary?

i have no idea. but this was pretty recent because he was older in the clip. It’s gotta be from the last 3-4 years. I’ve heard this story so much many times so it was really cool to get a new insight and perspective into it from the Bird himself😂

Definitely a bad 3pt performance can ruin rookie mental

He’s way too good for something like that

Mental can ruin any athlete.

Every now and then there is a guy that is dumb as rocks but they cannot overthink anything so their “mental” game is invincible

for real, does this dude think you don’t get mentally tested playing your first 50 NBA games?

I’ve seen him off his game maybe twice in the ~ 30-35 games i’ve watched. It’s insane how consistent he is and how easily he can turn it on.

I hope they invite Kon’s little brother to All-Star weekend so they can have him just constantly try to dunk on LaMelo randomly

Gotta see Lamelo in there. Backing up 3 more feet for no reason. Fading out of bounds on the corner shots.

Well, I know who I’m rooting for. He’s my favorite rookie this year, and I really enjoy watching him play.

i feel like it’s not fair if nobody is guarding him

like fair to Kon, i have no idea how he shoots 3s unguarded with everyone watching… that’s when the pressure is really on because you are expected to make all of them

If he wins he’s auto ROTY.

rookie “sensation”

svall18 | Hornets

He’s 23 3 pointers away from breaking the rookie record with 31 games left. So yeah, he’s a sensation

Dang. I keep hearing he’s doing well but haven’t watched a full game yet. I will openly admit that my uninformed guess of his potential would have been that he would be one of those guys that are more built for the college game. Clearly was as wrong as can be
