33 38 59 74 118 137 | Larry Bird sees himself dying "before 75", ESPN article, February 4, 2016

Checkout the post time, 3:11.

That date remembered has something to do with 'death' as well as 'Larry Joe Bird'.

3/17/1998 = 3+17+19+98 = 137 (33rd Prime) (Larry Joe Bird)
3/17/1998 = 3+17+(1+9+9+8) = 47
3/17/1998 = 3+1+7+1+9+9+8 = 38
3/17/98 = 3+17+98 = 118

He tells his wife all the time, he probably won't make it to 75... oh "Larry".
