Larry Bird

Some postmen have dogs to worry about. And some postmen have Larry Bird to worry about.

It is a running joke in Larry's hometown that he loved to play "pranks" on the local mailmen. He'd sit for hours waiting for the mail carrier to come walking down his street. And as soon as the mailman was at the door with the mail, Larry would smash out the window above his head with a basketball.

Now, you might think the mailmen would get used to it, and expect it to happen, since Larry did it consistently, numerous time a week. But no, it was just as disturbing and frightening every time that glass came raining down, boy.

Larry always got a huge kick out of this, and he always took good care of those mail carriers every Christmas with a tasty 25 dollar gift certificate to Larry Bird's basketball website.
