Lakers legend James Worthy smashes Larry Bird piñata in epic birthday celebration

Posted Feb 27, 2021
Los Angeles Lakers and NBA legend James Worthy whacked a piñata with Boston Celtics Larry Bird and Danny Ainge’s faces on it as part of his 60th birthday celebration. Even when the hapless piñata burst with the treats, Worthy continued to hilariously beat it. Wearing his iconic goggles, he danced around the set after. Worthy, Bird, and Ainge go way back.
