The NBA season actually started on October 29 but there were more important sporting events occurring at that time so THC delayed this post. And since it is serving as just another excuse to post Larry Bird videos the timing isn't really that important anyway.
The first is a 23 second video of Bird hitting a game-winning shot in 1985. While not one of his most remarkable shots it deserves watching because the call is by Johnny Most who had a one of a kind announcing style.
THC happened to be on a flight with Johnny Most in the 1980s and we spoke for awhile at the back at the back of the plane. He was a very nice guy (and chatty!) and his voice sounded exactly the same as when he broadcast a game so all our fellow passengers heard every word he said.
The second video is a Bird trash-talking classic when he told Xavier Daniels of the Pacers that he was going to make the game-winning shot off him and then proceeded to do exactly that.
I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny Most on two occasions. He was a real gentleman, had that gravelly voice (that changed late in his career after he stopped smoking) and bled Celtic green. He was one most unhealthy looking individuals I ever encountered. RIP Johnny Most
ReplyDeleteGreat announcing! BTW Bird's shot prophecy reminds me of Babe pointing to the field of his upcoming home run. dm
