Bird asked him, "Are you and Stephen Jackson on good terms? I'm very interested in him."
Anderson thumped his chest and said, "We're really tight, been through the trenches together. There's not much to do in Cleveland, so we'd often pool our money to... have some fun."
Larry Bird held up a hand, motioning for him to stop, cutting off Anderson's detailed description. He knew Anderson was quite a character. He cut to the chase: "Tell him that if he doesn't want to play for the Cavaliers anymore, he can come to us. We'll give him a contract worthy of his talent."
Anderson slapped his hands together. "Damn, I shouldn't have made such a scene. After all that fuss, the Cavaliers will never let a player go. Otherwise, wouldn't that just confirm my accusations?"
