Episode Details

Horace Grant recalls his first matchup against Larry Bird, where he was tasked with guarding the legendary player after Scottie Pippen struggled. Despite Grants physical advantages, Birds trash-talking and mental prowess left him lit up early on. The game ended with Bostons victory, but Grants performance was misleadingly portrayed in the box score. This experience taught Grant that legends like Bird dont rely on speed or power, but rather on their unwavering confidence and intelligence. Birds reputation as a trash-talker and his mental edge solidified his status as basketball royalty.
