Larry Bird's story of how he refused to endorse a local restaurant, but changed his mind when the owner agreed to let the Celtics eat for free, according to the book by Bill Walton (Bird's former teammates) According to Walton, Larry kept turning the guy down, but the man, who is thought to be called Harry, “wouldn’t take no for an answer.” ▪️ “Finally one day Larry said, ‘It’s okay. "I will," Walton wrote. “... When they came to talk about the price, Larry said he didn't want money for the deal. Harry was stunned. Larry said all he wanted was that each of his teammates, we were eleven, could enter Scotch 'n Sirloin any time, bring their families and eat for free, but what we would all do would be leave a cash tip, and if the tip doesn't was big enough, to be sure and tell Larry, and he would handle it.” The two had an agreement and Walton wrote that the team made the most of it. Rick Carlisle even ate "every meal there all season long," and Bird started calling it "chicken teriyaki" because of what he ate there frequently. “We used to go there all the time,” Walton wrote. “After almost every game, the whole team would go to this very nice restaurant down the street and we ate and drank all night. Each player and their families would have their own table. And at the end of the night, Larry quietly checked to make sure the dishes were clean and the tip was the right size.” https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1LcNdJJicY/

In ancient Greece, the gymnasium was a cornerstone of daily life for male citizens, blending physical fitness with intellectual and cultural development. The word "gymnasium" comes from the Greek gymnos, meaning "naked," as it was customary for men to exercise unclothed, both as a tribute to the human form and a practical approach to training. These facilities were open-air complexes that included running tracks, wrestling areas, bathhouses, and lecture halls. Youths and adult men alike would engage in rigorous physical training, preparing not only for athletic competitions such as the Olympic Games but also for military service. Physical excellence was seen as a reflection of virtue, discipline, and harmony — key ideals in Greek society. However, gymnasia were more than just training grounds. They functioned as educational and philosophical centers, where scholars and sophists lectured on topics ranging from ethics to politics. Prominent thinkers such as Socrates and Plato were known to frequent these places, using them as venues for discussion and debate. Admission was typically limited to free-born Greek males, and the environment emphasized mentorship, self-improvement, and civic responsibility. The gymnasium embodied the Greek ideal of arete — excellence in all aspects of life, both physical and intellectual — making it a powerful symbol of what it meant to be a well-rounded citizen in classical antiquity. #AncientGreekCulture #HistoryOfFitness #WittyHistorian https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19kQUd7e5T/
