Birds confidence was unbelievable.
False equivalency son
@@GODSWORD11 you got no fuckin idea what that means do you😂 guarantee you sound smarter than you look tho 😂
@@GODSWORD11 Found a Lakers fan 😂😂😂
He was the best in his time!
Yep
This man literally said “shit I forgot I can’t miss” with a laugh 😂
Nah fr, crazy to think he wouldn’t even be a top 25 shooter in todays league ….
@@yerik6034 delusional
@@sosa3559 37% on less than 3 attempts per game, what a dawg
@@sosa3559 name a top three point shooter who’s 37% with less than 3 attempts ?
@@yerik6034 idk how you people don’t take in to account that the 3pt line was introduced in Larry birds rookie nba season, in which he shot 40% on 1.7 attempts, just think about it if he’s that good at shooting 3s and it was introduced his first season, how good to you think he would of been if he grew up practicing 3s if he played nowadays. It’s honestly common sense
Still one of the best people I've ever had a beer with Larry Bird. I'll never forget you Embassy Suites Downtown Orlando
Damn what an honor
Did you guys get a room
Something only you could know about thing or two about….
Cap
Did you wipe your mouth and face when you were done?? or have you not washed your face since???
A great time of basketball when Larry played! Miss those days.
Fr. The NBA isnt even basketball anymore. It's a celebrity/sponsor driven league with no real fans left. Only bettors, celebrities and companies wanting to advertise.
Missin those days, but not those buckets
@@anpr4518 what? How? You can’t even bring up any logical points to support your case because they don’t exist..
@@anpr4518 womp womp go back to yo old ass era of boxing basketball 😂
Keep on missing them. LOL
Director: "Cut!!! Larry that's the 20th time you've made that shot. Now you gotta miss the next one because we're running out of film!" 😂
Hahaha I'm laughing way to hard at this one😂
Tell bird to shoot it and hit top back board otherwise this is the result lmao😊
Dude, I can't help it you know
Hands Bird a blindfold............20 shots later.............
Reporter: Come on Larry. I already miss the 6 o'clock news. If you don't miss it soon I might as well start writing my job resume cause I'll be fired for not getting the story in on time.
Too funny bri
He's not bragging, just the way he is.
Tell that to Magic. During that time
Its not bragging if youve proven it time in and time out. Lets be honest. The man put the work in, the man proved his talent. Hes earned the right to talk himself up.
The white goat
Not bragging when it’s the truth!

Perfect example of Muscle Memory.
Even when he tries to miss
You can see right at the end his body readjusts.
Confidence was the key no matter how many shots he missed he believed he could make the next one. 😊😊
"course me you know" the confidence is unreal😮
Only Bird while trying to show what bad form does to a shot sinks it. lol
I mean uts more of a confidence joke 😂 do ppl really have no ability to decipher meaning anymore?
@@daddyfuse50teach us the way
Dude was something else
@@daddyfuse50 But it's not a joke about his confidence, he's displaying humility. He actively tried to do a bad shot for the camera, but it has nothing to do with his levels of confidence in this situation, it was all skill with muscle memory; he was being humble and that's why this scene is so likable.
Other scenes of him talking trash right before he nails the shot, in the game... Now that's him displaying confidence. But either way he excelled at the game.
Larry was MVP 3 years in a row. Made the game easier for everyone around him. A true great.
Same as Jokic...
@@markojovanovic7970 I like your humor. They each understand basketball on an ethereal level.
Not true. Not true at all.
The people playing against him didn't find anything "easy" about that experience
He made the game easier for Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson, Bill Walton and Danny Ainge😂😂😂😂😂
Was runner up like 5 times lol
Literally, I bumped into Larry back in 91 in a bar and I fell over. He laughed for a moment then realised I'd cut my hand on my glass and he helped me up and got the bar staff to check me over and 1st aid was applied and he then bought me a drink and spent 20mins with me talking about music. I didn't even realise who he was as I'm English and was on holiday at the time with some friends. Before he went, he let me have my photo taken with him, which I, of course, still have, and he signed my shirt, which I also still have framed on my wall. He was a great guy, in my opinion. Something I've never forgotten even 33 years later.
Larry had a genius coach to help and guide him
Larry had the ability to make any coach look good
Larry had basketball IQ before they called it basketball IQ. This guy was a 6 ft 9 in small forward. Back in the late 70s early 80s. Every player was great on that team because of Larry Bird. Guys like him, Dr j, magic Johnson, and Kareem inspired Michael Jordan who inspired this generation and the one before it.
still cracks me up that his mom's favorite player is Magic Johnson and she made Larry invite him over for dinner so she could meet him.
Close
She gotta get checked
@@cloudedthought6944nah you do. You glazing Magic 😂
She wanted that rod
@@RecapRico Tf does that mean? Were not talking donuts my man
He was such a pleasure to watch.
He's not dead
@@karawik8797 his ball skills are
You're absolutely correct, which is a major reason why I don't watch the NBA anymore.
@@karawik8797 when an athlete retires from the sport they play, they’re basically dead
Not for Hawks fans…
The real GOAT! No doubt
He's one of the greatest players and is still underrated. Larry Legend!
He’s such an uncle at thanksgiving
“Let me show ya how I used to make ur dad mad as hell”
The good uncle, not the weird uncle
@@fletcherhorn7709looks like the weird uncle. Turns out to be a chad uncle
Indeed, but with more stories of greatness that are actually true lol
And Karl Malone is that creepy uncle at thanksgiving 😅😅😅
From 1983-1988 Larry Bird was the best basketball player in the world.
Anything past ‘86 is all MJ
He just didn’t have the reman Larry had but pure stand alone player, Jordan was a level above
Correction, from 79-88 Larry was the best
Magic Johnson exited they was like equals for opposite reasons 😂😭
@@Melody-ic1githey were never equals Larry was better
@@unib4324facts 🎉
Larry is definitely one of all time greatest Top 5
I can tell you this, *Michael Jordan* would definitely select him if he’s picking teams against LeBron or Kobe
Top 5 at his position, yes. Top 5 ever, no
@@miamimercenary9623 Calling Bird "Top 5 at his position" is intense lack of ball knowledge. He's the second greatest SF ever, and would be the greatest PF ever if McHale and Parish didn't slide him down to the 3. Yes, over Tim Duncan.
top 3 in my book
@@miamimercenary9623The only players definitely better than him all time are LeBron/ Jordan tied between #1 and #2 and Kareem at #3. He's a better defender, shooter, overall scorer and rebounder than Magic. Better rebounder, passer and shooter than Kobe. Better shooter, far better passer, better defender than Shaq. Far better shooter, better scorer and far better passer than Hakeem. Destroys Duncan in shooting, passing and overall scoring. Bird is the second best SF of all time, could have been the best PF of all time if he wanted and a top 5 player of all time.
The good old days! Thanks for the memories Champ 🏆❤!
👍🏻😉
Larry Bird was probably unreal to follow back in those days
Lots of full games on CZcams out there to watch
Can confirm. Childhood was full of superheroes...real super heroes...like Bird and Jordan.
Larry could make any shot that’s why he was so dangerous.
False information son
@@GODSWORD11 I doubt that echo bob lunch
Nah fr, crazy to think he wouldn’t even be a top 25 shooter in todays league ….
@@yerik6034 That’s not true??? Name 25 CURRENT players that shoot better than him?!?! Exactly.
@@Blgudkgjdtfvrxhd so you say exactly before even letting me answer ? What kinda strategy is that?
Klay, curry, harden, KD, Booker, Dame, Joe Harris, Jamal Murray, buddy hield ,kawaii, Paul George, Kyrie, Luke kennard, Joe ingles, Middleton, Jokic, LUKA, Seth curry,Desmond bane, Fred vanfleet ( or Atleast he’s on par)
And that’s only 20, but I’m theres more who are better… right now that’s about it statistically based on 3pt% and threes a game… 1.9 attempts on 37.6% shooting is considered good to you?
Larry is the guy that I wish I could have watched live. I watched videos of his old games and he would be roasting fools
One of the GOATS of the NBA 🏀
REAL
Nicholas batum could cook him
@@Maddux-14fax
Brian Scalabrine is the goat
Never be another Larry bird ever he was special and earned the respect of all the greats in his time thanks for all the memories Larry you was the best
The first time seeing him was the finale’s against magic in the ncaa tournament 78/79 and when Boston drafted him I was a fan, ironic being from Michigan didn’t bother me because he was so good, and yes the best white boy I’d ever seen in my generation 🤘
Already been surpassed by that kid in Denver! Bigger better version!
Some idiot doesn’t know basketball thinks that foreign guy has passed Larry legend what a joke
Nobody could surpassed his thrash talking 😅
Never ever I didn't realize how great a player he was til I saw him play in person. Unbelievable he made me a believer ....
Trying to point out what causes you to miss and He Can't Miss!! 🤣🤣
Larry is everything he ever projected, and backed it up with undeniable resolve and actions! Love him or hate him........he always walked the walk! ❤❤❤
Larry Legend!! One of those once in a lifetime players that were so good, every game Larry did something that made your jaw drop and think how in the hell did he just do that!!
"I have no direction of the ball"
*proceeds to hold follow through*
Thank u
Bird: "Me, aim?" "Oh , I don't know ,I just kinda throw it."
2 Legends of the ...Celtics/NBA.....^^^^....!!!
One of the absolute GOATs
Larry legend! The GOAT!!
The goat no, but one of the.
@@riccardogentili3986 There will never be a decided upon "GOAT."
Theres just an exclusive list of players who could be considered the GOAT, who depends on personal preference.
@@Orto4956not really, the decided on goat has been MJ for nearly 30+ years 😂
@@IamNotTrey For maybe a few years after his retirement, maybe. I don’t know what rock your living under but people who don’t know much about basketball have been arguing between him, LeBron, and Kobe for years. And people who do know basketball realize that there are several players who change up the conversation so much that there can never be an agreed upon GOAT. To say that Kobe is an objectively player than Tim Duncan or vice versa is pointless, as they are different kinds of players, both of whom have a serious case going for them.
When bird was at this age he was unstoppable
Genius at sports, AND in music as well. That Paul McCartney is something else.
LOL
I won't be able to unsee that.
You are bloody right!
does not look like McCartney not single bit
He actually looks more like Ringo (perhaps because he got big nose) than Macca...
So glad I got to watch him play. Legend
One NBA Greatest Players for sure
I never considered him the greatest of all time, BUT the more I learn about him, the more he climbs my “GOAT” list.
Yea man. What I like are players that tell you what they are going to do and still get it done
Bird is for sure a beast
My top 5 (not in order)

Bird
KAJ
Wilt
Hakeem
Next tier
Magic

Kobe
Shaq

Larry was destined to be awesome. He could have just driven a Trans am and wore a leather jacket and he would still be one of the best to ever do it.
@@krimezoneawful list.
@@IamNotTrey post a better one
Before you have a Goat you should learn the Game that means from where it starts to where we are now you can’t just ignore the past 😴💯💯
One of the 🐐 goats. We've loved u forever Larry . 👍🏼
Bird is legend. Dude is so confident in himself every thing he touches is gold .
Always a class act, on and off the court
You clearly have no idea how competitive Larry Bird was on the court 😂
@@Krisjunk2671 yea i always heard he was a menace
Bird was one of the toughest, roughest and smartest NBA player of all time. He makes grown men cry by burying three point after three points after three points.
I've heard Gary Payton and Dominique Wilkins and plenty of other greats describe Larry Bird as anything but classy in the heat of battle, lol. This is the same man who asked black players why their head coach thought it was a good idea to have a white guy try to guard him, and then after scoring on the white defender 3 straight times, would look over at the other teams coach and say "you better sub in someone else for him before I score 50 on him before half time". 😆😆
Off the court? Yes. On the court? Never
Even When Larry just chucks the ball he still gets a perfect swish
I have not heard the word "swish" for forty years. Great job!
One of the GOATs, no doubt.
Thanks for all those game winning shots Larry.
Steph might be the best shooter ever but Bird is the coldest to ever shoot it. Str8 killer.
Drazen Petrovic
Would Curry shoot as many 3's if he was 6'10" though? 😉
Bird had defenses all over him on the outside shots, but being Bird... he still made MF's look SILLY AF!
Steph is the best 3pt shooter not shooter
@@antiisolation4 Drazen Petrovic was the best 3pt shooter, even in an era where 3 pointers weren't appreciated. Too bad he died before he could establish himself in the NBA.
Larry Bird was the GOAT. 🐐
From 1979 to 1988 Larry Bird was the best basketball player in the world.
Agreed
A lot of people have this opinion so it's probably accurate,
One of the GREATS 💯
Great player and did you see how much he was dedicated to training growing up? What a legend.
One of the greats to play the game🔥💪🏿🐐
What a guy😂 “it’s disrespectful to have a white guy guarding me”
Larry Bird was One Of A Kind, and every GREAT says the same!!!!
Of course Larry, we know your the goat.
Such an unconventional form but it worked so beautifully for Larry. One of my favorite players to see clips of his game
I actually think the shot he demonstrated is how Jokic shoot his shots...
Actually, if you look at his shot from the top to the release, it’s pure and perfect. Also a super fast release.
He just shot a little side cocked.
this clip is from a series, here red is asking larry to demonstrate the wrong form. Bird says he won't be able to control if his release is too far back. he drains it anyway because he can't miss on purpose
@@mozdaboz there's...alot of similarities between bird and jokic...from the flashy passes to the high arcing jumpers, great rebounders, being able to either play hybrid between a shooter and a post up player, and the occassional "how the fuck he made that" kind of shots. And yes, they aren't "athletic" (at least in a professional leauge).
a play practices till he gets it right.
a master practices till he can't get it wrong
Use both hands. A baggers anthem
Thank bird beat jordan because larrys game was so well rounded that it made his team so much better. And larry didnt have to score to get his team involved people over look that
Brilliant statement! Thanks for passing it along.
Here's one in return.
If truth scares you, you're probably headed for trouble!
Very well said
I was a knick fan all my life wish I could have stepped back and just enjoyed watching Larry Bird one of the greatest players ever
Larry Bird legend for ever ❤❤❤❤
That’s THE Larry Bird to you!!!
Definitely one of the greatest to have ever played this game!!!
🤔🤨😳😲🏀💯!!!
Born with a gift, and aware of it
Yes and no...he was born with height but no one worked harder than Larry...every off season he dedicated himself to converting his weakest skill area into his strongest.
Love the birdman in his heyday. 👏⚡🍀.
I loved this man's confidence and effect on the court.
Best basketball player ever!!
I wish he'd never injured his back
One of the best! There’s no perfect basketball player
If Larry had never gotten injured then maybe he could of been in an Ultimate timeliness but in this one MJ the 🐐 as we all know
What an awesome guy actions speak louder than words legend
What a legend! I grew up watching him play. GOAT
The great Red Auerbach
Red ,more titles than anyone in the history of NBA
All imma say is if Larry Bird not in your starting 5 all time then good luck
Amen.
man i watched Larry Bird and Kevin McHale as a little boy😃 awesome times best basketball ever
One of the GOATS. Special player in a special time of ball history.
He just dropped that in no problem, smoothest shot ever.
Yes he played with HOFs, his style of team play created HOFs. They all fed off each other and created each other's greatness. Larry WAS Boston
One of the greats and he's so genuine,he's my goat
Birds flying high, you know how i feel!!
Jokic taking pages out of Larry Legend’s book
I thought the same thing when he made those shots against LA last series
Really does look like Jokic's shooting form there. He's like you crossed Bird with Magic
The "fuck this shit it will go in regardless" shot.
My favorite, along side the LeFuckYou 3
True Legend
'I have no direction... It's more of a throw'..... Makes Basket.... "Of course it's me, you know". Larry LEGEND!!
Yep he tell u where he was goin before he made the shot. Ice in his veins. Love the Jersey.We Love you Larry Legend. BIRD 33
Bird had something about him man.. I wasn’t born until 1998, but seeing the way he scores that ball is surreal. A really good modern day comparison I saw was Jokic!
98? I was already dropping out of college when you burst out? Go away. You ruined my day. Bahahaha
@@djaa7 ?
This Mf’ing legend would never miss in todays Load Management League. 🏀
Muscle memory. He turned and just threw it lol his brain and muscles took over. Amazing human ability is in every one of us
Throwing that phrase out to Red is hilarious! 😂

Bird was so cold....... Larry Legend was a absolute beast
This video never gets old. Truly one of the greatest to ever touch a basket ball
It’s crazy that Bird beat Jordan so many times. I think Bird is a top 3 NBA player
I think he’s # 1 !!!!
@Tom Smith 5-0 in the playoffs lol
Jordan has nothing to say on the court for years until Bird left the game..
@Tom Smith Doesn't need to
@Tom Smith Sad that people forget that basketball is a team sport. Larry had 4 other HOF by his side. Saying Larry was better purely cause the Celtics beat the Bulls is exactly why you should look beyond pure stats.
THE MAN
My favorite BB player of the 70’s early 80’s!
My favorite player of All time. Classy
He was one of the Best there has ever been.
One of the guys i wish i could have watched in person
ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT. GOAT ❤
The music plus the 80’s vibes are immaculate
Legend
Um, he was on load management for about 3 years?👀😢
Was literally talking about not having control and makes it anyway LEGEND!!
And beautifully at that.
That sound when it banks. Ain't nothing sweeter.
Smoothest self grind points ever delivered.
Even when he is trying to miss, it's a bucket.
The great larry bird
And that folks is the muscle memory of Larry legend
Larry lived down the road from my uncle’s house in West Baden. What a really nice nice family and Larry is very nice person. Truly a goat!
He was about as clever with his words as was his play on the court .
huge respect for him and everything he went through
