>Hodges eventually convinced Bird to come scrimmage against the varsity team. Bird eventually agreed and even though it was the summer, he insisted on wearing denim.
>“That scene, in particular, I was very excited to shoot,” Small told For The Win.
>”I had read about that in my research about him going to Indiana State and Bill Hodges literally asking him if he wanted basketball shorts and he was like, no, I play better in this. His brother actually told Bill Hodges: He does play better in this outfit than in actual basketball clothes.”

if only the nba let him wear jeans, can you imagine lmao? larry cookin dudes in wranglers and that blonde mullet and mustache, talking shit. unreal.
100% accurate
Not even jorts; just full on farmer jeans.
Imagine that. You’re a starter for a college team. Put up good numbers. You’re confident you think you’re the man.
Then some hick rockin boots, wranglers, flannel and looks like some guy who drinks Moonshine and hangs out at a gas station comes in and slaughters you whilst talking mad shit. Idk how you come back from that
I’ve been cooked by a mf wearing jeans 😔😭.
Hey glad they’re trying something different on the show and showing something that actually happened!
I’m upset this show isn’t gonna make it to its 3rd season in all likelihood. Writing strike and underwhelming viewership for season 2 is gonna kill it. If it interests you, watch it now! The show needs viewers more than ever!
Bird was an all time basketball talent, but stories like this are why he’s
Larry Legend. There’s stone cold psychopaths and then there’s Larry “Fuck You” Bird.
I mean it’s not that hard to believe. It’s hella uncomfortable but jeans aren’t gonna make up the difference between Larry Bird and some college hoopers lol
I mean the better player will always win whether they are wearing jeans or shorts. Iverson would of still crossed you up wearing jeans and timberlands
Does this just make it sound more like they sucked than he was good?
Ok the jeans that’s something, but did he really played in those shoes?!
His brother actually told Bill Hodges: He does play better in this outfit than in actual basketball clothes.
Omg im dying
God I really wish they could’ve kept Bo Burnham cast as Larry
Imma be sad when this show gets cancelled it’s rlly fun lol
As a laker fan I admit Larry legend is a fucking gangster
That series could have been so good if they didn’t embellish needlessly
Didn’t know that Bird was playing with a handicap his whole NBA career.
Its wild that one of the most confident players to ever step on a goddamn basketball court had to be convinced by coaches to pursue it 😭
Wait til Austin Reaves shows up in church slacks.
