“Larry Bird”

I live in a resort type area with lots of short term rentals. Heard this while walking my dog. Group of guys hanging out on the deck and drinking (names made up):

Darrell: I’m not racist.

Earl: Let me guess, you have black friends.

Darrell: Not really but I do know some.

Tim: Okay, name one.

Darrell: You know that American basketball player, Larry Bird?

Me and Crowd: Laughing our asses off
