WEST BADEN SPRINGS, Ind. — In a sign that the decades-long rivalry between two basketball greats is far from over, former Celtics star Larry Bird has bested a donation that Earvin “Magic” Johnson Jr. recently made to Oakwood University and church. In response to Johnson’s $550K gift to the Huntsville, Alabama-based school, Bird has donated $650K to Indiana Academy.
Currently team president of the Indiana Pacers, Bird said that his donation was intended to show that he would “never stop competing with Magic, even if it means donating to Seventh-day Adventist schools I have never heard of.”
News of the philanthropic giving from the two NBA legends has spread like wildfire through the Adventist world, with the denomination’s universities, academies, churches and even hospitals lining up to offer the stars the chance to show the other who’s boss.
Special thanks to Bertie Wilberforce Wooster for the story idea

“. . . even if it means donating to Seventh-day Adventist schools I have never heard of.” So how did he select that school if he never heard of it? LOL!
Maybe Larry Bird should take time and go visit Indiana Academy and other Seventh-day Adventists Academy’s to learn of the schools, people, and what they do for kids. Awesome that both donated money to schools
You really think Larry Byrd did that? Don’t you know this site is full of crap called satire, which is just an excuse of lying and trying to trick gullible people like you, by publishing false news reports? The webmaster earns advertising revenue from this site, per reader. That’s why he caters to the gullible.
Now now Mr Scrooge. It’s all fun and games till someone gets hurt, then…. its just hilarious!!!
LOL, “crap called satire”.
Did you realize that the ability to enjoy satire correlates with high SAT scores? http://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED162367
Let us smart folks have our fun….
No wonder I love this site so much!

This site is part of the biased, leftist liberal media. There’s something sinister in its articles.
No, it’s part of the vast right-wing conspiracy.
So!
Why don’t Mitt Romney donate to SDA schools? He’s a multi-millionaire. Why not Donald Trump? He’s a multi-billionaire. He wouldn’t even miss a couple of million.
Money is awesome!!
If the dude has more dough than he knows what to do with, he can send some my way. My address is: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500. My phone number is: (202) 456-1414.
Mr. Sevvy, don’t take my name in vain. You’re giving me a bad rap and making my alma mater jealous.
Hey Mildred, pass me another Martinelli’s. . . . (burp). . . .
Hey Mildred, pass me another Fri-Chik. . . . (burp). . . . And another case of Little Debbie’s carob-coated delicacies. . . . (burp). . . .
Hey Mildred, pass me another Del Delker CD and Heritage Singer’s cassette. . . .
Hey Mildred, pass me another anti-women’s ordination report from the GC Pope in San Antonio.
Gotta love the anti-women ordination status!
Hey Mildred, pass me another 3ABN program. I love Danny Shelton’s show, “As the World Burns.” And I can’t get enough of Doug Batchelor’s show, “The Young and the Hairless.” Also gotta see Stephen Bore’s show, “Days of Our Lice.”
And hey, Mildred, bring in the other satellite TV so I can watch Hope Channel at the same time. . . . like eatin’ with a fork in each hand.

Hey Mildred, hand me another hilarious comment from Richard Mills. I can’t face another day without a sevvy story and a “woe iz me” comment.
Hey, Addict-You wait in line just like the rest of us lackeys. I work hard all day and all week, except Sabbath hours, to enjoy this site. Now, if you can get a hold of some juicy, succulent vega-burgers with melted cheese, onions, relish, a sour pickle and a glass of ice cold root beer, we’re in business Contact me well after sundown. I must guard its edges, you know!
Ever heard of “salvation by faith”? Actually, it is “salvation by food.” Think of these special Adventist foods:
• Haystacks
• Special-K Loaf
• Little Debbie’s snack cakes
• Postum
• Carob
• Fri-Chik / Veja-Links / Veggie Burgers
Eat them, and you will surely go to heaven! Hezekiah 3:16 = “The dude ate the right food, so he shall inherit eternal life. For salvation is by food, through legalism.”
Guess what? The other day, I stopped at my favorite quickie food jointy store to buy my Little Debbies & an ice cold GMO-free, range free, iced tea. The first ingredient on the Little Debbie oatmeal cookie was SUGAR and as bunch of other words I cannot pronounce because I failed 2 chemistry classes in college.. No more Little Debbies for me. I’m gonna stay healthy. Gonna get me some of Amy’s Kitchen organic stuff to snack on! I mean it! Woe iz me!! Really truly, I am! On my Pathfinder Snack Honor.
So, when we go to the 2020 GC at Indianapolis, we can all take a ride up the road to Cicero and see the results of all these millions of bucks floating around. Maybe some of the $$$$$$$$ can go to fix up that ice cream joint across the road. Woe iz me.
yes
Hey Darryl,
Satire/sarcasm, and the ability to get it without being offended is a gift given to those of elevated intelligence. Another is not using one’s real name in the comments section. This place is about having fun at our own expense. I hope whoever runs it gets filthy rich. Just sayin
