I don't know how they kept it under control. When the fight happened, everyone in the garden was raging. If you had the fortune of watching Bird live you know what I mean. Instead of Larry being faster or stronger, he magically made the other team slower. It was like somehow opponents would freeze before him. What Bird did was more magical because it was almost inexplicable. When you watch Lebron, you know why he is dominating: he is an irresistible force. It was a basketball display that is hard to explain. Bird would fake, then drive by the Doctor, or fake the drive and toss in the jumper. And he was strutting and talking trash too. The preseason game was not televised, yet a huge chunk of the population listened to it on the radio. I remember listening to Johnny Most swallow his microphone in rage at the 'gutless swine'. In one preseason game against the Sixers, that very year I believe, Red ran onto the floor to confront Moses Malone. The game was like all Celtic-Sixer games at the time.no team would ever lead by more than 4 points. He was at the height of his basketball genius, the Doctor was a bit in decline. One thing that is forgotten about that game is that it was the greatest basketball game Larry ever played. Seats were center court but on the balcony. At the time, I was a college student in Worcester, and a girlfriend, who was in love with McHale.as many young girls for some reason were.got us tickets to the Sixers game. Having grown up in Lawrence, I never missed a Celtic game. Yes, I was at the game when Bird fought the Doctor.
