Only one reason those intrasquad scrimmages were so competitive in 1985-86 compared to other seasons - Walton.

that music is too loud.... and completely unnecessary.

He absolutely new putting the guards ahead of Bill would be so irritating to the big man. 😅

Goat

That's true Bob , but if Jordan and bird switched teams bird would have to shoot more, because he wouldn't have the team around him.

Naked and afraid ?

Bird can be a complete ass. Most of the time, in fact.

Growing up in L.A. in the 70s I absolutely loved Walton and I’m grudgingly happy for his success in ‘86. I think the Celts saw the success of Bob McAdoo as 6th man on the Lakers for the few years prior and emulated it. It worked out for both teams.

God bless Bill Walton

Not ["could be] the best team ever assembled... THEE BEST EVER ASSEMBLED.

Only guy to play one and half season in hof.most injury prone player in NBA

Incredible how disheveled Gary Tanguary is at all times

I was so hacked when the Celts traded him. But at least it was to my second-favorite team.

You don’t put milk in scrambled eggs ? I thought that’s how. You made them?

Blessed to have attended Coop camp in ABQ NM for 3 years

U. Can't stop that cracker

Jock straps all over the floor u can't countain him hes a Hoosier

As someone who has dealt with a chronic pain I can fully relate to Bill Walton knowing useless facts. It’s a mind game you play with yourself by reading/learning that crap. I’d bet money that’s why he knew that stuff.

Eso es pura chorra, arruinaste otro choque entre Lakers celtics en su mejor momento

Doctor J was on the money. Houston teams with Hakeem in them should not be trying to milk leads in championship opportunities. 3 years later, same failed idea……

The ultimate humble player. From the simplest beginnings with a mom and dad who were just as humble and unassuming as Bobby. The players today few hold a candle to this greatness.

LLBill what a great man such a legend u will be truly missed ❤

I still can't believe he is gone. I am so sad this happy unique man is not with us.

The thing is, Larry saying he feels disrespected by having a white guy guarding him is laugh-out-loud funny. Similarly, saying Larry would just be another black player is kind of funny, but somehow Isiah gets defensive about it and it makes it worse.

These guys played every game. Back before "load management" Men were men and didn't cry after every foul.

Red called it! Laimbeer was a villain.

Love ya man. You are going to be missed for sure!!

If you grew a regular on Causeway street this video gives you chills

It’s totally impossible to assess how Truly Great Larry Bird was without seeing him Play up close and in front. Somehow he Made everyone around him better

Boston fans KNOW sports and how each one is supposed to be played.

The worst part is that people are complaining and fighting over their 'right' to bully homosexuals/transexuals like it's been done for decades. No more, sorry.

Golfing isn't an athletic sport...it's old men wearing diapers.

Great Clip. Thanks for posting.

The mountain man Walton was a beast in his playing days

I was in Memorial Coliseum in Portland in the western conference finals or whatever they called it back then. It was game four and the Blazers needed that victory against the Lakers. I was with my late father and I had convinced him to go to see the Blazers versus Lakers and the epic battle between Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Walton. That highlight with Walton driving down the middle and dunking on Kareem was the loudest I have ever heard a crowd have a reaction to. Thanks for the memories “chief.“ Yep that was his nickname back then.

Man DD played in Italy during a classic time. Squaring off against Oscar Schmidt, Bob McAdoo, Dino Meneghin, Sasha Danilovic, etc...

I always LOVE LAKERS and i love Larry bird - go figger

left world stage at 71 not 81. Celtics = 71 in gematria.

A man's man.. no greed... just pride and determination. He is what any dad wants for his son...

Ambidextrous

Big Red and Magic. The two best storytellers in NBA history.

Larry and bill always giving it to each other, those 2 had immense respect and love for the game and each other. Somewhere Out There, Bill Walton is hanging with Bill Russell and Jerry Garcia I'm sure Jerry's in a cloud of smoke while Walton is telling some crazy story just to elicit Russell's Big laugh😊😊

The. Greatest. Passing. Center. Plus Had. Larry. Bird. IQ. Tragic. That. He. Couldn't. Stay. Healthy. Top. 5..RIP

I was at UCLA with Bill Walton & those were great days I’ll always remember….. Bill was a special guy & I’m grateful for witnessing Bill Walton on & off the court

Bird would trash talk his own mother.

Could be ??? No no no that was THE best of all time

It’s difficult to comprehend that Bill Walton is gone. Thanks for covering that many aspects of his life. Very cool video.

This Boston team had the highest basketball IQ ever assembled on the court. And when Larry played with Bill this IQ was over any scale. Even today with LeBrons, and Jockers on the court - it was something special. RIP Bill Walton!

He won 142 straight games in high school and college in an era in which basketball was like pro wrestling.

Unbelievable banter. Thanks guys. Great stories.
