"Oh no! Now I'll have to bite somebody's finger again..."

A commonly perpetuated falsehood! To the mythbuster mobile!!!

The two tussled, reportedly because Rollins called Ainge a “sissy” after Rollins hit Ainge with an elbow (inadvertent or not) and Ainge took issue. Whether Rollins called him a sissy or not, Ainge tackled the much larger man (Ainge was six feet four inches while Rollins was over seven feet tall). During the tangle, Rollins bit Ainge on Ainge’s hand. Standing up from the fight, Ainge reportedly (according to his teammate Larry Bird) said “That big sissy bit me!”

The next day, the Boston Herald had the headline “Tree Bites Man.”

However, within a couple of years, Ainge (who by then had gotten the reputation as a bit of an annoying player for opposing players) has suddenly become the one who was accused of biting Rollins!

The only reason I know the truth is because I stumbled across the "That big sissy bit me!" quote in some Bird article years ago.

I just thought it was so funny that Ainge used the word 'sissy'. If it was Garnett, he would've woven a tapestry of obscenities that would still be hanging in the rafters of whatever arena the incident occurred in. But Danny Ainge called the guy a sissy. It almost makes it more insulting.

One of my all-time favorite quotes is Bird during the ´91 Finals; when asked how he thought the series was playing out he said: "They're playing like a bunch of sissies". You tell 'em, Lar.

Just for clarification a quite common misconception is that Danny was the biter when in fact he was bitten. 

Now I'm sure DA was instigator but, he was never one to back down from a fight.
