Together Again: Bird and Magic Make Appearance on Conan Last Night
November 5, 2009 by Nick Gelso
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson are again linked at the hip. This time they are on the same team. NSS has covered every bit of the When the Game Was Ours book tour.
After appearing together on HBO Sports and the CBS Sunday Morning Show, last night they shared the stage at the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. Magic on stage with, proud Celtics fans, Amy Pollard and Conan. Bird, (in Bird-like fashion) refusing to fly to LA, appeared via satelitte.
Being the old school Celtics fan that I am, these Bird/Magic appearances have been so enjoyable. The entire video is entertaining, interesting and funny but I particularly love when Magic mentions that Bird had never taken him out for a beer. When asked why by Conan, Larry responded in typical fashion,
“Well he’s (Magic) got all the money, he owns all the businesses. I’m just tryin’ to wait for him to ask me.”
Bird’s still a cheap-skate. I love it!
Afterwards Conan mentions, to the amusement of the studio audience, Magic being bothered by Larry never buying him a beer and asks Larry what bothers Larry about Magic. Again, as we would come to expect of Larry-Legend, Bird (very seriously) cites all of his failures during the Bird/Magic rivalry. Larry will never let go of losing one game to the Lakers!
So, sit back, relax and go back in time as Bird and Magic reminisce about the Golden Era of the NBA in hi-def.
