Throwback Thursday: Larry Bird

via jim fitzgerald

Jim Fitzgerald shared this video to his Fancred profile. It's Larry Bird's epic steal of Isaiah Thomas. It's impossible to click play and only watch the video once.

I moved to Boston in January 2012, and since I no longer had a favorite NBA team (R.I.P. Sonics) I adopted the Celtics. Their history is long, impressive, and watching highlights from days past never gets old.

Once I clicked watched this video I once again went down a rabbit hole of other Celtics highlights, many of which I added to my Celtics album on Fancred.

The video inspired a Fancred Challenge with the theme of Old School Hoops. My submission the the Challenge is below. Seriously... how badass was Bird vs. Johnson?
