After music legend and actor Kenny Rogers died Friday at 81, the tributes poured in from across social media.

Our favorite was from former NBA player Rex Chapman, whose Twitter feed itself is a thing to behold.

And the Celtics connection? Larry Bird (and Michael Jordan and Dominque Wilkins, among others) playing in a 1988 celebrity round-robin tournament with Rogers in terrific footage that Chapman tweeted, with a hat tipfrom NBA history podcaster Adam Ryan (@hisairnness), who found the clip initially.

There's $400,000 on the line for charity, so the NBA legends are going if not all-out, at least semi-hard (ignore Bird's jumper getting stuck in the rafters). The late, great Hall of Fame Lakers broadcaster Chick Hearn is on the call.

Rogers looks pretty good as he drains a 21-footer over Jordan.

But it's Bird, wearing No. 32? (A Magic Johnson tribute?) with teammate John McEnroe, the tennis legend, and his Green team that comes away victorious in the end. We're hoping The Gambler - that's Rogers, not Jordan - knew when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em when competing against Larry Legend.

Former Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins is ready to turn his life around.

The NBA champion hasn't necessarily had a rough life, but since retiring from basketball nearly two years ago, Perkins said in a tweet he has gained about 75 pounds.

After the doctor told him he needs to get healthy, the 35-year-old took matters into his own hands and shared a very inspirational video on Twitter Saturday afternoon.

Of course, any athlete will be more fit when they're still playing the game they love, but Perkins' video should be a source of inspiration for everyone right now -- especially with the COVID-19 outbreak shutting down gyms and athletic facilities across the country.

After all, they do say "no excuses."

Boston Celtics big-man Tacko Fall has taken the NBA world by storm -- probably because he's 7-foot-5.

His basketball fame has resulted in a Fall impression video by @maxisnicee on Twitter, and it's absolutely hilarious.

It's actually a pretty accurate video of Fall, from the dunking to the defensive stops, this kid got it spot-on. At least Fall doesn't mind joking around during this rough time without basketball due to the coronavirus.

With that being said, let's hopewe get basketball back sooner rather than later.
