And Ron Artest was known for his short temper. I'd have loved to see Larry mess with him.

He was the kind of guy who would tell you exactly what he was going to do to score on you, then execute. Again and again. Can you imagine how demoralizing that'd be? This guy tells you how he's going to beat you, and you're powerless to stop him. You have to stand there and watch the man toss it in.
Etan Thomas describes an all-time sonning by Tim Duncan:
"So we’re playing the Spurs and I get the ball on the post. I inside pivot and sweep to the middle for my jump hook and he blocks it. So as we are running down the court he says to me “that was a good move but you have to get more into my body so you can either draw the foul or I can’t block it”. So I didn’t know if he was talking noise or what so just kind of looked at him confused and said ok. Then, a few plays later I did it again got more into his body and he couldn’t block it. I missed the shot and he looked at me and said much better and kept playing lol."

Now if the spurs would just stop losing so much this season 😭😤😮💨
Is he the reason “I’m going to dunk on your ass” is a thing?
In a non-dunking kind of way. He wasn’t a dunker.
He's not really known for it, but at 6'10" or whatever, he didn't have any issue dunking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXBeOYyfsA8
I didn’t mean that he couldn’t, just that he was more focused on shooting.
On nba jams Larry bird could kill on the three pointers lol
Somebody else can pull out the statistics but in my mind Bird was the best three point shooter that ever was.
Dunking at that height is just putting something on a high shelf lol
Joe DiMaggio was a dunker though.
