John Stockton explains his favorite Larry Bird story three different times Lakers

did who talk more Jordan her bird you mean trash talk trash yeah I wasn't around Larry as much I sure saw it even as a rookie I came in he walked into the gym and said coach I think I'm told our whole team but to our coach coach and him and a half 42 how many do you have he had 42 and then check himself out of the game no way yeah I mean so he walks into the Utah Jazz and just says to coach Sloan I think I'm gonna put up 42 it was actually Frank Layden that spring yeah it did oh my god yeah and he did it that's the kind of amazing part bird never said anything well he did but not to me I remember as a rookie he came in he walked by our bench at the Salt Palace and said I feel like 43 and he came out he scored 43 in the third quarter and checked checked himself out with a 20-point victory and fairly impressed with that so he just picks a random number I feel like 43 and he says it to the bench John we're gonna get you out of here with this obviously we have a poll question going on and for the record I had nothing to do with this poll I'm gonna let one of the Dan that's McLovin tell you what the poll question is if you had a better week's pay in their prime who would you take in a three-point shooting contest Larry Bird or Reggie Miller wow that is a tough one well man Reggie I hate to do this to you [Laughter] he's the only guy that came into Utah when I was a young player and said I think I'm gonna have 43 tonight told our whole team that on the bench and came in and had 43 tonight so I don't know I have to give the nod to Larry at this one don't feel bad because I was the tiebreaker on the on the poll question and I picked religion as well so I'm company so I don't feel
