Imagine what would Larry Bird do in this situation? I know it was a little bit different during his time. At least Robert Parish backed him up.
Larry Bird was a rough and tumble dirty player himself. He didn’t need anyone to back him up. Other players were intimidated by him.
Caitlin Clark is not at all like Larry Bird. He’s supposedly a real jackass, and he brought that attitude to the court.
Larry didn’t need help. He was scrappy enough to take care of himself. And Larry was one of the best trash talkers in the game. When he got whacked…he likely had it coming. And he turned around and scored 40 on the guy who did it.
