If you want fun, Larry Bird, "Bird is the word - 15 minutes of Larry Legend" - the first couple songs are crazy, but well worth it. The last song is a bomb. And it shows a lot of footage that is hard to find. And the "1986 celtics" And "The greatest game I ever played, I should have quit right there" that's 3 of the best! Thanks ❤️
Mighta had something to do with his having doubled the Celts' wins his first year and, I believe, redoubled it in his second year. I think it was something like 20-odd to 40-odd, then 40-odd to 60-odd. Among his other mind-bending stats.
It would be great if, at least for basketball reactions (and esp. with these antique vids) you could (no offense, but) make yourself the small inset, so the blurry play would be easier to follow. Larry's passes are so quick-release and sometimes so unexpected, it's sometimes easy to miss them.
Impressed with his football pass? Don't watch "Larry Bird greatest passer(re-edit)" It has 5 MINUTES of outlet passes! He is regarded as the most accurate outlet passer of all time! EDIT: he is probably leads the league in assists laying on the floor. Has lots of them, too!
I watched basketball with my Dad growing up, & Bird was our favorite player! My Dad used to say, Bird didn't only have eyes in the back of his head, he had them in his kneecaps too 🤣😂🤣
Funny how alike we think. I just had rodman instead of wilt and Miller instead of Kobe. But I did consider Kobe, but for some reason I think Miller's style would just fit better with the dominance of the starting 3.
Glad to see you as you've been feeling the first touches of Bird Fever, and getting a clearer understanding of why we Bird Nuts are so high on Bird's game. But this is just the beginning. If you watch the commenters' suggested videos-- including the re-edit of this one, which has at least one surprising series of passes: Larry Bird Greatest Passer of All Time (Re edit w: New Footage))and the ones about him and Magic -- I'm betting you'll fall deeper and deeper in love with Bird. You still haven't seen the features emphasizing his unselfishness (and you talked through the mention of it in this vid-- which I understand, because you were jumping around with excitement over his passing. I was too, and this ain't exactly the first time I've seen it, or even the first time I've seen this video), or his toughness (twb the "5 times Bird was injured and refused to quit" one), or many of the other facets of his game and personality that make us Bird fans so committed and enraptured. This is a great ride so far, watching you go from the common skepticism of those who didn't grow up watching Bird, to your being a dazzled believer. Thanks for this and your other great Bird reactions. I've subbed and hit the notification bell, and am now off to check out your list of other (non-Bird, since I've watched all the Bird ones) videos.
Larry’s teammates all knew if they were in good position, he’d give them the ball. So they were all ready & waiting. Larry elevated that team. Molded it into his vision of perfect team play. The architect of awesomeness 😅
Some of the most crazy people on earth are the people who think Larry Bird wouldn't be as good if he played today. With the new rules he would be cooking EVERYONE🔥🔥
Larry Bird can fit with ANY lineup.. he can pass, rebound, defend, hustle, set screens, oh yea he scored. he could score OFF ball, or in iso. he could spot up for 3, he could shoot of the dribble, he could post up low, mid, high, his jab steps and fakes were lethal, he shredded double teams with his passing. But the ULTIMATE line up would be NO BALL DOMINANT players.. Curry, Jordan (ball dominant, BUT he moved WITHOUT the ball, and was a good passer, plus its damn Jordan), Bird, Kevin Garnett and Shaq.. only jordan was ball dominant. Curry and Shaq moved off ball, shaq passed out if he didnt get good position, his moves and decision making was quick hitting, Kevin Garnett is in for Defense, he shut down the ENTIRE court (plus Jordan and Bird were great off ball defenders too, getting lots of steals, Curry too) and Shaq to clog up the middle (I dare you to drive on him). Bird did everything, and would be the glue and leader on this team.
Did you actually see that play with Johnny most going crazy? Isaiah stupidly tried to inbound the ball and Larry tapped it on his toes right out on the line and DJ shot the ball won the game.
There really isn't another athlete like Bird. Some guys are great scorers. Some guys win alot, some guys are team players. He's the only one that had it all 1. PF Duncun 2. SF Larry 3. C Kareem 4. SG Jordan 5. PG Magic I'll put this team against anyone's
Nice, I got Curry Jordan Bird Kevin Garnett (all court shut down defense) Shaq (clog that paint but an exceptional passer out the double) My TOP five all time is different tho Jordan/Bird, Magic/Kareem, (Lebron?)
There is a video called, "Bird is the Word" 15 minutes, incredible highlights!!! You'll see why so many of us say he's the best all around player of all time!!🎉 #LarryLegend
He can play with anyone. He was highly adaptable to all styles and very unselfish! It doesn't have to be all time greats, he will make them into HoFers by the end. 4 halfway decent players, you will be in the running for a ring.
Great reaction but there is a better one. Should react to Larry Bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit. AMAZING. My starting lineup with Bird: Curry Jordan Bird Duncan Olajuwon
Enjoyed your reaction to Larry Legend! Just a friendly suggestion for you. Make yourself a small part of the screen so that people can actually see what you're reacting to. 🙂
You picked the wrong one! I know it's hard to imagine that there's a better one but there is and by far..." Larry Bird, greatest pastor of all time (with re edit)" it is the one to watch. We told you before! But I want your friend to be there with you anyway
It's hard to make a line up because of all the decades of great players, so I'll take the easy way out. Go watch some video of the greatest collection of talent on one team. It wasn't called "The Dream Team" for no reason. And the stories from the college athletes to the teams representing their countries in the Olympics are unbelievable. Search them out and enjoy the dominant force they were and will never be matched. Epic!
Really loved your reactions and this video was great but the most popular passing video for the Bird gang is this one “Larry Bird Greatest Passer of All Time (Re-edit w/ New Footage)” czcams.com/video/wwo4vtaZmsY/video.html The 86 Celtics was one of the greatest passing teams in NBA history with Bird and here is a link to that “1986 Boston Celtics Tribute - The Beautiful Game” czcams.com/video/O4Td5QRfzj4/video.html
I must agree with the others requesting the re-edit passing video. There is a good 5 min of his full court passes. My favorite skill of Larry's. Under, over, right or left handed. Poetry in motion. Re-edit passing video czcams.com/video/wwo4vtaZmsY/video.htmlsi=NfTsXXosYaigyBzb #birdgang💚🐐🍀
Depends on the rules. But if we are talking 80-90 era rules, this would be my line-up. Bird, Magic, Jordan, Rodman...5th is a bit hard here...for some reason Reggie Miller sounds right...maybe Kobe...Kobe is the better individual player, but Miller seems to me to be the better team player to fit into what I think the starting 3 would bring. I am thinking team cohesion here and not "star power".
Nobody can beat my top 3 Jordan, Larry and Hakeem. Hakeem is also a player like Larry where by reacting him only u can put him easily in your top 5 at least
Bird is actually a power forward. He only went to small forward when McHale became a starter. Best all time is Bird, Magic, MJ and the rest really doesn't matter. The 3 of them together in their prime can't be beat by anyone. You could put Russel, Wilt, Shaq, Kareem or any of at least 5 other centers. This would actually be a good spot for Bron or Kobe as they are fluid like Larry so would work well together. Sorry, bron or kobe is starting on the bench.
Video reveals Bird's pain tolerance/toughness. A variable that isn't considered in most people's goat makeup. czcams.com/video/L4vsB2Hskv4/video.htmlsi=rwiHSw1k3EPTxJ5R
Great reaction young fella! Keep learning about Bird the player and the man. I GUARANTEE THAT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! He is the greatest ALL-AROUND player to ever pick up a basketball!! My starting 5 is: Bird, Jordan, Olajuwon, Duncan and Magic. Keep up the great reactions! Much love and respect 🤙
Larry in my opinion was the greatest to ever do it. People today think athletic=greatness. Wrong. Bird did EVERYTHING. He scored at will, he averaged double digit rebounds for his career. He was great defensively. He was unreal at the free throw line. The 3 point shot wasn’t in the NBA until Birds rookie year, so he didn’t spend a lifetime practicing it the way players do now. He played with a body that was so broken down and STILL put up ridiculous stats. Don’t forget in the playoffs he didn’t just BEAT Jordan….he SWEPT him…..TWICE. And he did all of this in an era where you could commit a felony before you got a foul called. Unlike today’s NBA where weak ass players like LeFlop James whines and cries if he gets breathed on. In today’s NBA, Larry would average 35.
Watch Larry Bird Greatest Passer of All Time (re-edited). It includes approximately 5 minutes or more of full court passes, most right on the money.
Too bad you didn’t see it live…. your eyes saw, but your brain didn’t believe it
@@FUBAR1986 Maybe not live in person, but live on TV. And I'm watching the Celtics as we speak.
If you want fun, Larry Bird, "Bird is the word - 15 minutes of Larry Legend" - the first couple songs are crazy, but well worth it. The last song is a bomb.

By Larry’s third year in the league, they were already calling him Legend 🎉😂❤
Mighta had something to do with his having doubled the Celts' wins his first year and, I believe, redoubled it in his second year. I think it was something like 20-odd to 40-odd, then 40-odd to 60-odd.
Among his other mind-bending stats.
He actually got that in like the 8th grade. He didn't become a legend, he was born a legend.
The re edit of bird passing is better
It would be great if, at least for basketball reactions (and esp. with these antique vids) you could (no offense, but) make yourself the small inset, so the blurry play would be easier to follow. Larry's passes are so quick-release and sometimes so unexpected, it's sometimes easy to miss them.
You like that Inbound full court pass? He got over 30 of them on the "Larry Bird Greatest Passer of all time re edit with new footage" video..
34, to be precise.
Impressed with his football pass? Don't watch "Larry Bird greatest passer(re-edit)" It has 5 MINUTES of outlet passes! He is regarded as the most accurate outlet passer of all time!
EDIT: he is probably leads the league in assists laying on the floor. Has lots of them, too!
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE *TRUE* GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
I watched basketball with my Dad growing up, & Bird was our favorite player! My Dad used to say, Bird didn't only have eyes in the back of his head, he had them in his kneecaps too 🤣😂🤣
The 5 times Larry Bird was injured but refused to quit. The 4 times Larry Bird was hurt but showed male toughness. Both are mind blowing.
Bird knew where every player on the court was at all times and his teammates knew where to be .
Larry always knew where everyone on the court was.
… LARRY BIRD and any
other FOUR players !
Bird, MJ, Magic, Kobe, Wilt - my starting lineup
Funny how alike we think. I just had rodman instead of wilt and Miller instead of Kobe. But I did consider Kobe, but for some reason I think Miller's style would just fit better with the dominance of the starting 3.

15 minutes of HIGHlights
I had seen Bird play live many times.....hes absolutely breathtaking. Wasnt always pleasant watching him and the Celtics beat my Milwaukee Bucks 🥴🥴🥴

There really isn't another athlete like Bird. Some guys are great scorers. Some guys win alot, some guys are team players. He's the only one that had it all
1. PF Duncun
2. SF Larry
3. C Kareem
4. SG Jordan
5. PG Magic
I'll put this team against anyone's
Nice, I got
Curry
Jordan
Bird
Kevin Garnett (all court shut down defense)
Shaq (clog that paint but an exceptional passer out the double)
My TOP five all time is different tho
Jordan/Bird, Magic/Kareem, (Lebron?)
There is a video called, "Bird is the Word" 15 minutes, incredible highlights!!! You'll see why so many of us say he's the best all around player of all time!!🎉 #LarryLegend
Magic at PG, Jordan at SG, Larry of course at SF, Tim Duncan at PF, and Wilt at C. Truly unstoppable.
Best court vision ever!!!
His teammates also had to be ready to catch that ball at any time
Look at the Dream Team. Best of the best.
Loved this video. Thank you. There's a video of his greatest passes.
Kobe was Larry legend favorite player, Kobe called Larry Legend Money
He had vision like Barry Sanders
Another vote for Larry Bird Greatest Passer. Full court cirfus.
This episode of pausing and talking was awesome 👍🏻💯
This was a good highlight reel. An even better one is the "re-edit" one people been talking about. You won't be sorry if you watch that one too.
Kobe, MJ, Magic, KG , PAUL Pierce
Bird, Magic, Jordan, Kareem and Hakeem.
He can play with anyone. He was highly adaptable to all styles and very unselfish! It doesn't have to be all time greats, he will make them into HoFers by the end. 4 halfway decent players, you will be in the running for a ring.
My lineup would be Magic, Kobe, Tim Duncan, Jokic, and Field General Bird.
Great reaction but there is a better one. Should react to Larry Bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit. AMAZING. My starting lineup with Bird:
Curry
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Olajuwon
That would be a great squad and I’m definitely gonna check that video out !!!💪🏾
Nice, I got Garnett and Shaq instead, but I got Curry, Jordan and Bird there too..
Greatest passer of all time re-edit video
Greatest passer re-edit is a much better video of his passing
Enjoyed your reaction to Larry Legend!
Just a friendly suggestion for you. Make yourself a small part of the screen so that people can actually see what you're reacting to. 🙂
You picked the wrong one! I know it's hard to imagine that there's a better one but there is and by far..." Larry Bird, greatest pastor of all time (with re edit)" it is the one to watch. We told you before! But I want your friend to be there with you anyway
Lmao! I never knew Larry was a preacher, but he was one heck of a teacher, because he schooled all the greats and showed them why he was Legend.
Top three player all time.
Thanks for bringing the fun! ❤
I suggest some football "when the assist is better than the goal"
It's hard to make a line up because of all the decades of great players, so I'll take the easy way out. Go watch some video of the greatest collection of talent on one team. It wasn't called "The Dream Team" for no reason. And the stories from the college athletes to the teams representing their countries in the Olympics are unbelievable. Search them out and enjoy the dominant force they were and will never be matched. Epic!
Ya boy can't always be there but you gotta keep up the grind!
Really loved your reactions and this video was great but the most popular passing video for the Bird gang is this one

💯
I’d go:
Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Wilt
Depends on the rules. But if we are talking 80-90 era rules, this would be my line-up.
Bird, Magic, Jordan, Rodman...5th is a bit hard here...for some reason Reggie Miller sounds right...maybe Kobe...Kobe is the better individual player, but Miller seems to me to be the better team player to fit into what I think the starting 3 would bring. I am thinking team cohesion here and not "star power".
Magic, Jordan, Cooper on defense with Larry.
Nobody can beat my top 3 Jordan, Larry and Hakeem.
Hakeem is also a player like Larry where by reacting him only u can put him easily in your top 5 at least
Bird is actually a power forward. He only went to small forward when McHale became a starter. Best all time is Bird, Magic, MJ and the rest really doesn't matter.

This would actually be a good spot for Bron or Kobe as they are fluid like Larry so would work well together. Sorry, bron or kobe is starting on the bench.
I would have Larry Magic Wilt Bill Russell & Pistol Pete

Bird was that good
Young man, change your format a bit. Make your subject bigger and you smaller. Otherwise, Damm good!
Bron Jordan Kareem KD and Bird.....
Unselfish
He got a better assist videos than this...Amazing assists reedit, I think? There're about 20 full-court passes.
Great reaction young fella! Keep learning about Bird the player and the man. I GUARANTEE THAT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! He is the greatest ALL-AROUND player to ever pick up a basketball!!
