The best line, "stop whining and enjoy while they're here (while they're playing)"
😮😅
How can I enjoy him when I hate him? My friends hate him, my family hates him, my father, my brothers everybody hates him 😡
Edit: If this speaks to you, you're beyond help. Only Jesus can save you. The real Jesus, not the slaveship one
To reiterate, that was a troll
You are exactly correct the haters have no clue how to enjoy something amazing lebron is a one in a million player there will not be a lebron for a long time I remember missing Jordan being in the game when he retired also Kobe I thought Kobe would play forever
@@MrMathoksjust means you’re all losers for hating someone you don’t even know
I agree, enjoy skilled players like Luka, Joker, Tatum. And the Lakers star AD
Humble and a man of reason....Legend.
🤣 Bird said he always knew how good he was, & that he'd usually win. That's not humble. And he shouldn't be.
@johnkeros9109 that's not humble that's simply the truth
Look fellas. Larry Bird the man is humble. As the player goes. He was arrogant, obnoxious at times and the one guy you never wanted to piss off. He'd make you consider an alternative form of employment.
Larry was never known for being humble. He was a cocky mf... and could back it up, too.
Maybe now, But Larry legend was not a humble player. He came to a 3 point contest and asked “who’s coming in second place today” . Well, nobody still can remember who came in 2nd but Larry damn sure came in first!!
Thats the swagger of a man that knows where he is in life.
He definitely has swag
They didn’t name that weed strain “Larry OG” after him for nothing
I know where I'm at in life right now....."in bed!" 🥱😴
Watched Larry Legend in his prime against MJ, Magic, Isiah, Malone, Akeem. Unbelievable.
I 2nd that motion!
And 3rd!@@EBaron007
Same here. I hated him because I'm a pistons fan but he was Ice cold. I like him not that he's not torching my team
All my pops ever talked about!
Boy my pops love MJ but he said bird was a bad mf@@@
"I always knew how good I was" is such a cold line. Larry Legend.
That's a man supremely confident in his abilities. Just think how many games where that confidence alone was the margin between victory and defeat. There's a reason they call him Larry Legend.
BTW, I'm a sixty year Lakers fan.😁
Awww such a cold line my boy, so cold, so ice cold my boy!….
Larry was never intimidated by anyone. And he always knew he had "it", that he could do whatever needed to be done.
“I knew, majority of games I played I was gonna win most of them” 🥶
and no one can say a word to repute that.
I love Bird's self-confidence. It inspired him and his teammates!
What teammates, kid?
thats old school it was about winning even if you lost, todays NBA is stats cash and social media
Sagittarius mindset
@@user-lx5pu5pc2x 😀😀😀
@@briandutton939don't forget the fashion show before the game & bling..
He didn’t leave himself out he knows how great he was
And he shouldn't leave himself out. MJ says the same thing.
Larry named them all-Lebron, Michael, Magic, Kareem and himself😊
Lou Alcindor was great not Kareem.
Those five would manage an incredible starting five.
Your mama @@rem1762
There the same what the hell you talking about @@rem1762
He said MAGIC first... get it right...
Larry Legend is a wise man. Know your own talent and let others debate GOAT over a 12 pack
Jordan said the same. Out of the greats only one has someone calling himself the greatest ever. Only one seems to be desperate to be recognized
@@stanleyfevrierrealtywho's that guy?

@@stanleyfevrierrealtyhe literally said he knew he was great and didn’t care what others thought of his game! Yeah that’s what the guy you talking about basically did
@@kingralo5954Might want to listen again as his actual words were “ I always knew how good I was “. Never said “ I’m great “. Big difference !
Spoken like a true GOAT
Wanna hear something crazy, Larry's 2 prime years were statistically better than Brons, to bad he ran into back problems
Larry at 30 was amazing - his first 7 years were jaw dropping. He hit the injury wall hard but, still knew how to be the man even at a slow walk
@michaelryan3158 in what way were they better than lebron's?
@@IScoreUnderPressure4LeBron is the king of turnovers the king of missed field goals the king of final loses the king of flopping the king of jumping to good stacked teams 😅 the king of missed three points too hooo and its the only one who has been sweeped in the finals what a greatness here !!!
@@thechampion9525 👍
The high slacks and flashing that ankle puts him firmly in the conversation 😂
A man like Larry Bird who's not afraid
to show some leg is a manly man in my opinion. 💪😁💪😁💪😁💪😁💪
Only a real feminine type of man would worry about how another man dresses
Lmfao 😂
lmaooooo high slacks
This guy said it best. I didn't give a dam what anybody thought about me I knew I was good. Stay humble people!
Love listening to Bird talk.
Bird talk.......I guess you could call that chirping
Wait untill he start trash talking.

Love Larry's philosophy ... You don't need to tell anyone how great you are, if you're as good as you think you are, they will tell you. Just know your own abilities, do your thing, and let your game speak for itself.
Larry's never been afraid to acknowledge and pay respect to the talents of any player.
Listening to Larry Bird you'll always learn something new about NBA Basketball and life itself!
Larry speaks the unvarnished truth!
Quote by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE ~ "No legacy is so rich as honesty."
That's NOT what he said.
He basically dissed those who didn't recognize hus contributions but made DAMN sure you know LEBRON is one of the GREATEST if not THE GOAT...
Dare ANYONE to disagree with Larry Legend...
He won't say it if he didn't mean it and KNOWS what he's talking about!!! Mic Drop..
He played against Jordan but made it a point to speak about LeBron SPECIFICALLY...
@@apostlej.k.diamond4119lmao as an LBJ fan that is not what I heard. He mentioned Lebron because, as great of a player as he is, he garners a lot of hate.
He never implied he was the greatest, just to appreciate his contribution instead of spewing hatred because people like MJ or someone else better.
@@user-fs1gd6iy1ulove Shakespeare quotes so much wisdom wrapped poetically. Oh yeah this was about basketball players. I admire Larry's philosophy and I get bored with long winded conversations about
" Who's the greatest ?"
Jesus Christ Loves You All & Is Coming Soon Repent Before Its To Late ✝️😊🙏 and draw near to him ❤
That’s the Best response I’ve heard regarding the GOAT debate. Every era has its greats.
He knows Bron is beter than MJ. Bird owned MJ
What a badassssss...feeling so blessed to have watched him play in-person!
Larry Legend is one of the greatest and that's a fact. 3X League MVP, 10X ALL NBA says it all.
3X MVP IN A ROW - Bill Russel And Wilt are the only other 2 to share that consequetive streak
@@chankko194 And it absolutely should have been 5 in a row, through 1988.
But more than that, is all the discussions by his peers, telling us of his exploits. From the first days he was in the Celtics, guys making fun of the new guy, and finding out he was the real deal, to all the tales about the amazing things he could do, it will all make a great movie someday.
You wouldnt have said that before this video😂
33-13 vs MJ
The best answer on the goat debate yet. There are so many great ones do we have to choose "the one". Enjoy them all.
I agree.
best answer about the goat was MJs answer. he didnt even consider himself the GOAT because he respects the greatness of the players before him. thats greatness
@@onestopgenuis9611I love that his answer mirrors Larry’s answer. Shows great perspective by that eras legends.
Definitely agree!!
I know Allen Iverson wasn’t the goat but he’s my goat he’s my favorite player of all time and idgaf what anyone’s says because logically I know there isn’t a goat basketball player just by stats that isn’t the whole thing to judge by
Style of basketball, the way they play the game, how they carry themselves, do they play hero ball or team ball and sh** like that.
I like Jordan, Bird, Magic, Shaq Wade, Curry, lebron, Dirk, Kobe, KD, Booker, spida, SGA, Luka and Tatum to name a few but I don’t like to argue who’s best it’s a pointless, biased and ridiculous argument because everyone has a different opinion.
There is no GOAT just enjoy your favorite player, team and have fun watching them while we can because soon enough a lot of these guys won’t be playing anymore and guess what lol mfers still gonna have pointless never ending debates about who’s the goat
Until we get a 7ft Kobe,Curry lebron-ish hybrid player made in a laboratory in Europe I doubt we’ll have a true…H1M😂
The only right answer is Penny Hardaway
Not many people this humble and confident. I saw this exact type answer from Michael Phelps. Different sport. But so similar in mindset.
MJ had a very similar take.....as a hooper...no need to go to swimming
What a privilege to have a conversation with a Living Legend.
And people really don't bring up his name in this discussion....Larry Bird really was that GUY for people that watched basketball in the 80s
@user-mj5vx8xj8tHakeem?
Amen ❤❤
How can u when HE called MJ god?
He was epic. And deserving of every award gets got. He fn killed it! A legend.
That man would tell you what he was gonna do, and you couldn’t stop it. Then proceeded to do exactly what he said he would do to you. Larry Legend Ladies and Gentlemen!
That was a bad man! I believe the goat topic is basically an opinion!
we've all seen the last dance bruh
Exactly
Only white dude who could walk down Crenshaw in Compton, and get respect and requests for autographs.
He commanded respect, and that transcends racial crap
Yeah but he look like Steve Kerr with snapchat filter. that what I thought
Larry still got that confidence....
This why I liked Larry Bird. He use to walk in talking trash, saying who's going to be second. 😂😂
Amazing! Bird addressed the reactions instead of the question. Always a few steps ahead, that good old Larry Joe haha
Yes. Whenever I avoid answering questions, people lavish praise on me as well, and believe I'm playing 4D chess. Meanwhile, they still await an answer. 🤣
This is a man that is true to himself! As it should be. 🏀🇺🇲🌹🏀🇺🇲🌹🏀🇺🇲🌹🏀🇺🇲🌹
The actual greatest take I’ve ever heard
The most important thing is they are the best during the time that matters, Their Time.....
Just watched A Courtship of Rivals again last night.
The debate over GOAT will continue for ever, but I know who my favorite is.
LEGEND.
Absolutely, Larry was the best ever

Agreed.
It's been a long time since I saw a guy in slacks just comfortably showing so much leg.
So darned well spoken. What a class act.
So humble yet so arrogant aswel(in a classy way only bird seems to pull off.)
The celtics had a poor record the season before he joined and he helped turn them into 1 of the greatest teams to play the game.
That 86 team was probably the best team in NBA history
You can't be both humble & arrogant. 🤣 Bird said he always knew how good he was, & that he'd usually win. That's not humble. And he shouldn't be.
@@johnkeros9109 he was arrogant enough to know his celtics were 1 of the best sides in the league but also humble enough to say mj was God in disguise.
Your confusing arrogance with confidence.
Two of the best shooters to ever put on a uniform, Reggie Miller and Larry Bird. Don’t forget both played on the 1992 “Dream Team” with Jordan, Malone, Barkley and Stockton.
How's it arrogant? He said he knew how good he was meaning he knew his skill level and that his team would usually win that's honest what'd they win almost 80% of their games when he was in his prime? Those lines aren't humble or arrogant just factual.
Michael Jordan. GOAT
I mean there's a lot of GOAT talk, but there's no more LEGEND talk, we saw a guy so good, his game became Legendary.
The legend called the goat "God in basketball shorts"
Mic drop
Thank you Larry, somebody finally said it the right way. Quit comparing it's an assault on all the players just so you or whoever wants to put these poor guys out there
U never heard MJ say this? Cmon
You gotta respect bird and he’s humble
🤣 Bird said he always knew how good he was, & that he'd usually win. That's not humble. And he shouldn't be.
I don’t think humble applies to Larry Legend and it doesn’t need to.
Bird was never humble 😅
Bird is humble. But was the biggest trash talker there was. Would make LeBron cry is they had played against each other.
He didn't make anyone else cry but for some reason he would have made Bron cry.... ok smh
Wouldn't hear what people thought if there wasn't social media. We all know the greats and the greatest of "our" times. Social media is a killer.
So well put Larry, so very well put.
Comparison is a thief of joy.
~Wiseman
I saw larrys last few seasons and was always so jealous of my dad because he was able to witness him play and see my Celtics win 3 championships ...Larry is so respected here in Boston for a reason he was a blue collared guy and went out to win at all cost and talked smack doing it .
2 legends talking legends and who they forgot were legends priceless
Larry Bird was my P.E. Assistant at Springs Valley in French Lick, Indiana. It was amazing to watch Larry through the years. Larry helped teach me to be the best I could be. I was alway so proud of Larry watching him in high school, college and the pros. Larry made me proud to be "A Hick from French Lick."
Wonderful answer. ❤
Way back players I'd love to see in today's game... Pistol, Barry, West, Robertson, Russell, Wilt, Cousey, Hondo, Baylor, Ice-man, and I'm sure I'm missing a few.
Well said..
Russell?🤦🏾
@@Ashamed.Loser69Whats wrong with him mentioning Russell? Watch his highlight tapes. Dominant defender, all time rebounder, could run like a gazelle... and more rings than fingers to boot. Russell could absolutely thrive in today's game.
@@tonyp1376 Is you for real bro? He'd struggle so much in offense, it'd be offensive to my eyes...
Barry woud play really well in todays game imo, his style of play wouldn't need much adjustment.
Larry, you’re simply the best
LARRY BIRD is an AMAZING HUMAN BEING and ATHLETE!!
My God to have that kind of confidence in yourself. There is so many people that just don’t have that.
if ppl practiced and put in the work as much as larry did theyd be confident too
That’s how a true great talks. He doesn’t care what others think about him he knew how great he was GOAT
“Everyone in their era thinks their era was the best”. That’s so perfectly stated
Speaking abour era-s the 90s were deffo a million times better than today's 3 point competition league.
This is why he is Larry Legend. You know the man held a lot of his predecessors as well as his contemporaries in high regard. He also looks to the future. If you want a Mt. Rushmore for basketball, go to the hall of fame.
That is the most honest and transparent answer that I’ve seen and heard over many different interviews reason being each of these players to have been effective the confidence to feel that they were the best thing on the floor, no matter what
Ridiculous when social media came along this will never end
Great answer Mr BIRD ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Spoken like a true goat.
Leave the debate for the GOAT to the simple minded. That is where it belongs. Larry sums it up well.
He's definitely on point, and we know how good you were, Larry Bird. One of the best to ever do it.
This is the response to any true fan of Basketball. Just enjoy the game and stop creating additional division as if we don't have enough of that already.
I've watched a lot of really great players in the NBA since 1960, and Bird is the greatest I've ever seen because of the complete game he had. He had no weakness' really.
I never watched him play, but the fact MJ started winning when the Celtics and Lakers were on the decline showed how great they were. Larry> Mickey Jordan
@@jonshaqqir4575It shows Jordan beat teammate in the 80s was young Charles Oakley. Celtics and Lakers weren't on the decline in 90-91. They had a better supporting cast than the Bulls
@@sideshowbobsaget8876 Los Laekers 91 in transcition not showtime

@@sideshowbobsaget8876 Elite? No Raily no Karin no Cooper- worty player letion, only magic VIH.
Larry would kill in todays nba, he took a physical beating w that style of play in that era, and his back gave out on him, One of the best ever☘️
Michael Jordan said Magic Johnson is the greatest basketball player he has ever seen.
I guess he never saw Wilt.
I absolutely agree with Larry, too many over my lifetime to call out a GOAT. My favourites are Malone, MJ, Shaq and KOBE
Shaq ? seriously ?

A Legend being humble and appreciating every great player for their talent. He is right, comparison and rankings aren't important even how you win as long ad you win championships like Shaq says.
I find it just amazing how great his response is yet he's such a LEGEND.
Folks will listen to everything this man said, except not bag on LeBron. 😂😂😂😂😂 The haters will keep doing that.
But let's be honest Lebron brings that stuff to himself sometimes. Lebron had a great career. The best of his era but if he retired tomorrow the game won't stop like it did after Jordan's second retirement.
Lebron had one dumb event called the decision aside from that what else ??
@@MentalStillness Explain exactly what it is Bron did that “brought it on himself”…..
But we look at both a players best parts of their game and the one that are weak. When you look at the weakest part of a players game you need to think about how weak ot is it compared to other players not just of todays game but in the players of the past. All players go through this and nobody is expemt. Some people don't like when it is put out in the open for everyone to hear. It is like that in every sport.
@@nate8604He’s cricketing. He doesn’t know
The absolute best era in basketball was when Bird and Magic came into the league. We lived Lakers, Boston ,and Philly in my neck of the woods. Those rivalry's were on a whole another level. That's a FACT!!!
“With the team I had, I knew I could win”….This is the confidence of a man that was teammates with 4 other HOFers throughout the 80s era
"If you wanna have fun? Play with Lebron. If you wanna win? Play with Kobe." - Larry Bird (when asked by Bill Simmons which player in the NBA he would most want to play with). Mic Drop. Kobe > LeBron.
Larry was the best pure shooter in any era.
I would pick prime bird over anyone, bird was cold as ice
cmon now.. larry and magic are my favurites, but steph is the best shooter ever, by a big margin
@@martincapek96 fr. #2 and beyond you can debate forever. But I don't think anyone has made it look so effortless and miraculous like steph has.
That’s probably not true, but I get your point. Maybe most clutch

Love Larry Legend 😊
Always selfless! That’s why he’s the GOAT! Everyone thinks they are the best except him. OG 🐐!! Facts
If you look at all the GOAT discussion guys, they always throw it to another guy or guys. Kareem throws it to Russell. Magic to Michael. Larry to Magic. Even Michael throws it to Kobe.
He's the best overall player I've ever seen, with jokic possibly taking that spot before he retires. With his play style he could go 20 years and break most records
That's wisdom. Bird said he was always confident in how good he was. People need to take that to heart.
Wilt wrote the NBA records book.
And called it Bill Russell
Wilt Chamberlain was a boonah who is wormfood!
@@CarlosHernandez-kd2vbok clown
Facts.
and records are meant to be broken
Quite possibly the most skilled player of all time
No
Stop it…athleticism plays a part in skill and Larry was a D+ athlete
Kobe respected Larry Bird for a reason
Larry and Magic are 2 humble generational basketball players that I was fortunate enough to witness in real time
Well Larry, even though you say "different eras, different players," I still watch videos of YOU (and the Celtics that played so well with you). You, sir, are my favorite player ever. #LarrytheGOAT.
Same ☘️
Most level headed analysis of a former player about the current generation and the goat debate!
Class Act right there...
I love how he mentioned his confidence. Confidence is the most important attribute you need to have as an athlete and as a person without you are nothing and nobody. If you don’t believe that you are the best player in the game you will never ever play like it
Hot take: If the modern era of basketball is the best in any era. Then why the hell no one can master a skyhook. In this generation?? 🤔🤔
Because they dont practice it. And its inefficient. Its basically a 2 point jumper. Modern generation wants to shoot 3s as its more effecient
because they dont need to. next question please
@@kkrstudioshow is it inefficient? kareem shot 55 percent from the field for his entire career with majority of those made with the skyhook(from distances of up to 20 feet on the sideline)while the greatest shooter of this generation(all time acdg. to the new generation) steph curry shoots 47 percent from the field and it becomes more inefficient when he shoots the three at 42 percent.. not sure what you are on but you need to get off it bro..
@@johnnwith2ns464more like they don't to.. next..
@@userjlj they dont to? is that even english?
Perfectly said... Appreciate them all.
Really you cannot compare, you can't compare things which are not the same. Different eras bring new challenges.
Damn people will break their neck and back not to say MJ. The hate is real... 😂😂😂
Larry tells it like it is!
I'll answer for him. MJ is the goat.
Good on you Larry Bird! I agree, enjoy LeBron while he’s still here!❤
Everything Lary legend said is so true. I’m going to stop criticizing lebron .
Jirdan fans will only cherry pick Bird’s comment “Jesus in sneakers”
Until he said this
Larry Legend's opinion is his opinion. He stayed pretty neutral on the entire conversation (if u wanna call it that)
His quote was: "God disguised as Michael Jordan."
I'm not a basketball fan but I love to bring up MJs record against Bird just to people off 😂
@@judas_bdb8681
Also make sure that u tell people that Larry had 4 other HOF with him while MJ had older players & druggies on the team #FACTS smfh. A VERY CASUAL comment son
Bill Russell was the Greatest as the rings and banners tell it all. Thought basketball was played for that. His personal accolades speak volumes as well. Long live the real Goat Bill Russell RIP Sir
Bill Russell is no goat. He only played against 9 teams. I'll pick LBJ over Bill Russell in that debate lol
@@ReginaldPowe no doubt I respect your opinion as yes LBJ is a great player for sure
Technically, you really can't have a G.O.A.T. in TEAM sports. The entire Team contributes to the success of that particular team. Russell didn't play by himself. He was primarily known for his defensive play, not his offense. He was an integral part of A TEAM. Offensively, in the NBA, there could be named G.O.A.T.s, like Bird said, from every era. Nobody could come close to match Wilt's offensive prowess of the sixties. The seventies had their special players. The eighties we know of Magic, Bird, Jordan. Then, Kobe, LeBron, Curry. So many truly great players. To name just one player above the others is to do a disservice to the many other good players on the same teams as those players who contributed to the overall success of those teams.
Nice job shitting on a good video and conversation... Go back downstairs man...
