When Larry Bird scored 60 points in New Orleans against the Atlanta Hawks in the mid 1980s, the reaction of the Hawks’ bench players was something almost unparalleled. My memory is that all the players on Atlanta’s bench were black. The clips have been re-aired but the reactions were of pure admiration and more so disbelief. It was one of those moments that sports brought people together. The skill level on display by Bird was something phenomenal. But for opponents to react that way was truly unique if not bizarre. In a good way. We have changed as a society. The younger sect wants domination. We all know feminists do not want equality they want to dominate. These black radicals are the same. Equality? Give me $30,000.00 by the age of 30. No, they want subjection.

Wasn’t that the game where Bird and Dominique Wilkins each took the ball every possession down the stretch, each unstoppable in their own way, with Bird finally outlasting him as Wilkins moves were more physically demanding and wore him out? What a showdown.
