My good gawd. Larry Bird is fifty years old today. Fifty! I haven't checked with a doctor, but I'm pretty sure that fifty is officially too old to come out of the Garden crowd during the fourth quarter, rip the suit off to reveal a green #33 jersey underneath and dominate these young whippersnappers, leading the Celtics back to their glory days of championships.
Up until today, it seemed possible if not inevitable. But fifty years old... I'm starting to believe that this scenario isn't going to happen.
Happy birthday, Larry Legend! My childhood is officially dead!

Even at 50 I'd rather take my chances with Bird on the floor.
Hell, if "Nature Boy" Ric Flair can still go at over 60, anything's possible.
Childhood back alive!
Let me get out my pink feather boa and start yelling "WooOOOoooOO!"
Will that help?
A frontcourt of Bird, Hogan and Flair? I'd want Macho Man and Tito Santana at guard. They could compete with the Knicks.
Tito Santana = underrated.
