The NBA, where Amazing High-5's happen.

Someone on the worldwide internet had a brilliant idea of making his own "Where Amazing Happens" NBA videos. I say that with no hint of sarcasm. These actually are good and fun to watch.

Behold, exhibit A.



This second clip is incredible. First of all, watch how hard Bird works to get position in the post against Magic. How good is that match up? Bball at it's purest stage. Then check out how quickly he spins and fires off an un-guardable fadeaway. IMO only MJ's fadeaway was more lethal because MJ actually elevated off the ground where as Larry Legend sort of just leaned and hopped backwards.

But the true gold of this video comes after the shot. The celebration on the bench and the high-5 rivals the Tiger Woods/Caddie fiasco .


But I digress. I don't want to make you wait any longer. Enjoy.




Actually, you know what? I'm gonna show one more just because I just noticed that Larry Bird, for as gifted an athlete as he was, was probably the worst high-5ing professional of all time and I think perhaps the combination of the passage of time, the lack of internet in that era, and the emergence of Tiger Woods has helped him hide from having that unfortunate title. Check out this exchange with him and Mchale.
