Larry Bird was one of the games greatest trash talkers. Thanks to his extreme confidence and ability to back up everything he said, Bird provided us with some of the greatest moments in NBA history. Larry Bird had a well known rivalry with Magic Johnson and the Lakers but today we take a look back at a more forgotten rivalry with Chuck Person.

I was at this game. The BEST game I've ever seen. While they showed you larry running out of the tunnel with his warm up on, they didn't show him ripping it off like superman. The place totally erupted. Then Larry did, too. What a competitive player!
Good to see athletes leave in on the floor. But don't think Bird left it.
You got to see history!
Pat Riley said it better than anyone can. Some years ago, he was asked about who he believed was the most clutch player in the pros. He said: " If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I'd choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I'd take Larry Bird ".
Very tired self serving nonsense trope by Riley to enhance his own stature as he beat Boston 2 out of 3 in Finals. LB NEVER hit a single GW in last minute or buzzer beater in a playoff or finals game. Not one. Name it? However, he did miss WIDE OPEN corner 3 in Gm#4 in 87 Finals. Also lost twice in finals (Celtics went 16-15 in his finals games BTW - that's barely a winning record) MJ 6-0 with 6 finals MVPs. MJ hit multiple - there's The Shot vs Cleveland in deciding Game #5 in 89. Hit then record Six 3s in 1st half vs Portland Game #1 in 92. 55 in series finale vs Phoenix in 93 - avg 41 that series too - most ever in finals. GW at buzzer vs Utah Gm#1 in 97, Series winning GW vs Utah Gm #6 in 98. MJ also has still standing record for most pts in a playoff game with 63 vs Boston in 86. LBs playoff career high 43 vs Detroit and once had 34 in finals game. Also had consecutive 8 point 3 for 11 dud finals games vs Houston in 81 (games 3 & 4). Spare us this nonsense of LB shooting for our lives - we'd all be dead.
Single shot, game, or series it's Jordan - no one else comes close.
@@keithratajczyk5068 Riiiight. Because Pat Riley doesn't know anything about basketball.
@@keithratajczyk5068 ZZZzzzzzz. Bird's accomplishments speak for themselves. Spare me the MJ fanboy act.
I cite DEMONSTRABLE FACTS - you agree with sycophantic opinions. How bout career 32 k pts to 21 k pts? Or 6-0 in NBA championships while hitting GW in 81 NCAA final to a LOSER in 85 & 87 finals who also stunk up 79 NCAA final with a 7 for 21, 6 TOs dud while losing to Magic (who MJ beat in 91 NBA final). How bout 1 of 2 players with 30 ppg avg lifetime (Wilt is the other) while LB is not even his franchise leading scorer - John Havlicek is & scored 5 THOUSAND more points and won 5 more championships (that would EIGHT) than LB did (without a loss BTW). You embarrass yourself with your misguided hero worship. The world is still waiting for LB to hit a GW shot in a playoff or final. Name it?
The game where Larry brought the team back against the Pacers was some unbelievable TV....maybe the most excited you could get over TV as a teenager at the time. I was jumping all over the room.
I was a laker fan as a boy but the tail end of larrys career i remember the game against portland in 92 where larry had that acrobatic 3 pt shot to force overtime. I think it went to double and they won
Dominique Wilkins of the Atlanta Hawks once said of Bird.."looking into his (Bird's) eyes is like looking into the eyes of an assassin".
Honestly, as a longtime Celtics fan, that Chuck Person rivalry was great. He never backed down. Always respected him for that. Bird did get the last word, though.
Person was a good player but not in Bird’s league.
There was a rumor though that the Pacers were taking with the Celtics to trade Bird for Person. This was around the end of Bird’s career.
I’m a Pacers fan and I’ve just never understood why the Pacers didn’t draft Bird. They would have had trouble suffering through Bird’s final year in college but if they had drafted Bird it totally would have changed the history of not only the Pacers but the NBA. I mean imagine Bird playing for his home state team.
But the Pacers didn’t want to wait a year.
What could have been….
Bird got every word
As a lifelong Sixers fan Bird was always a pain in the ass. He is among the all time greats for sure.
Growing up in Larry's prime was priceless
I was a die hard laker fan in those days. To me the "Bird/McHale/DJ/Parrish vs. Magic/Worthy/Kareem" rivalry is the greatest rivalry and period of NBA history.
@@Heathcoatman I agree. Being a big Celtics fan, I was obviously rooting for them when they played the Lakers. But it "almost" didn't matter who won, because the games were pretty intense and so much fun to watch. That said, I can't stand watching NBA games anymore, because it just doesn't compare to that era. I'll take these old CZcams highlights if I want to watch great basketball.
@@321snoot Exactly. I dont really watch the NBA anymore. It's all about the trash talk and twitter feeds and personalities these days. The name on the front of the jersey means nothing to these guys, it's all about the name on the back.
@@Heathcoatman My wife and I were watching a UCONN women's basketball game recently, and she pointed out that they don't have their names on the backs of their jerseys. Why? Because Geno Auriemma wants them to think of themselves as part of a "team", in the truest sense; no room for egos on his watch. I thought that was very refreshing, and it makes perfect sense! Thanks for your comments - we think alike! (I'm 65, and cannot relate to the mindset of today's athletes.)
@@321snoot I was reading an article about an NBA game recently. The article was several paragraphs long. Only one sentence of the article was about the actual game, the rest was about some twitter feud that two opposing players were engaged in. That's sports today.
Just some context for younger viewers. By 1991 Larry Bird had sustained so many different injuries but just between his bone spurs being imbedded in his achilles tendons and destroying his back from an incident when installing a new driveway at his mom's house in 1986, he was maybe 30-40% of his prime during this Indiana Pacers playoff series. In early/mid 1980's he won league MVP 3 YEARS in a row and won three NBA championships as well. Absolute undisputed GOAT for his position all-time.
And still a fighter & asset to the end.
He should of just paid to get the driveway done ,
I'm pretty sure this is when he broke his jaw and came back out
@@AprilSilvers-py4zj Indeed it was.
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN & THE TRUE GOAT 🐐 ☘️
Nothing better then being a true inspirational stepping stone for the future generation of players. Bird is The Competitive Beast that every future player should acclamate to and rise above.
When Larry played , I was such (an idiot) , I mean LAKER fan that I refused to watch Boston or Larry...Unless... they played the Lakers. So , I still saw him do some amazing things. Years later after an injury , I went over Larry's career...start to finish....WOW!
I was in such denial of how great this man was. I just finished a coffee table book on the guy & 80's-90's- NBA & I still cant stop writing about him. i truly feel..best over-all player of all time.
No one hadda impact like Chamberlain. We are still catching up to HIS greatness. The record book himself...I can't put anyone above him. But Larry Joe , All-around play on both sides of the court & last second clutch master....Larry is on top there.
For ME, MJ is the most skilled 1 on 1 player ( or one on 3) , lol.
Most players have a niche... But there's been a handful of guys...who could do it all.... Larry Bird is 1 of those.
I'd like to say, Birds mentality coupled with hard work puts him on top.
Bird and Magic saved the game but it is a terrible product now
Can’t watch it.
Word.
@@anajay78No physical inside game just 3s.
100% I stopped watching in mid 2000s just garbage now.
What, you don't enjoy watching teams jack up 50 threes a game??
Bird had a 12 inch vertical jump at this point and was still one of the best in the league. His skill level was as high as it gets
Bird had a 28" vertical....same as Karl Malone..
@@robertmcmaster2453 not after his foot surgeries.
@@markpitchford7375👍 Nor did Malone after he blew his knee out..😉
@@robertmcmaster2453 do you really need much vertical when you can dunk nearly flat footed?
@@markpitchford7375 I've never said you needed to... Bird saved energy
Bird was THE WORD!!
Larry Bird is one of the best NBA players of all time!!!
Funny when I clicked on this video it was Larry Legend at 6:10pm There's been a recent explosion of Bird videos lately. The Bird is back again 😁
What makes these comments and tributes so brilliant is that the comments are made by brilliant and extraordinary players who were all major achievers themselves.
Busted face & all. Larry Bird continues to shine. I mean how many qualities does it take to be GOAT? Larry has it all.
When you first look at Bird you're thinking there's no way he'll do much, and then he starts playing and you're like wth!!
No ,i look at him and know that theres a guy that does his job.
I remember when Bird left his jacket on and beat everyone in the 3-point contest! It was awesome!! 💯
Yes, I remember that, too! Those balls just kept dropping - pretty amazing! You could tie one hand behind Bird's back and he'd still beat you.
@@321snoot yes absolutely! 💪
Yes that damn sure proved that he was the best!!! He had a deadly shot with either hand and even played one team with just his left hand!!!!
@@Glenn-em3hv 💯
80s basketball was the best
Bird played easily a THIRD of his career INJURED....INJURED.. Bird is MY G.O.A.T.
And if a current NBA player has a hangnail, he's on the disabled list. Bunch of pansies compared to players in Bird's era; just no comparison.
Back when i was quite a bit younger and Bird was playing, I don't remember anyone ever knowing about his trash talking. It's quite interesting to learn about Bird's reputation all these years later.
Yes, news to me too. I watched all the games in the 80's & didn't know until recently. TV never reveled it. Now it's all over the net. How could one be the biggest trash talker & not let it be shown?
@@andybilakshow260 It did come up in some interviews in the early 90s, I think one with Dan Patrick and Bird I remember Dan asking him about talking to people and why he does it. The specifics of the stories probably weren't out there, but people did know he would get in people's heads.
@@riffsthatkill2180 yeah see that's about the time I gave up watching. Thanks
NBA'S answer to Pete Rose.Always played as if it was life and death matter.
Never heard it put that way, but that's a great comparison - and very accurate!
It's sad to see someone who has basically saved the game along with Magic from extinction no longer able to play. For a decade he and Magic were the faces of the NBA and to have to acknowledge that your time is passed is so heartbreaking but like they say , NOTHING LASTS FOREVER AND EVEN THE GOAT HAVE TO ONE DAY CALL IT QUITS. THANKS LARRY , YOU,LLE FOREVER BE THE GOAT.
Who’s “they”?
@@TL2354 Anyone that's been a athlete and realizes there comes a time to call it quits.
Tom Brady lasts forever.
@@TL2354 I'm here.
I will always feel that coaches particularly KC Jones pushed Bird too hard and let him play when he should have rested and really shortened his career.
Two reasons Bird was the best. He's no pussy. He outhustled every player on the court.
I remember that game. The crowd went nuts when he came running out of the tunnel.
Bird bird bird, bird is the word love Larry
Falls down and cracks his head. Comes back and wins the game. LeDumb gets a hang nail and misses 5 games.
You just breathe on Queen James and he flops to the floor.
As Buddy Ryan said “DURability is just as important as ability”
But he's also played twice as long as Bird, wouldn't you rather Larry take better care of himself so we could have had years more of him?
🤣
You are being unfair....that was a really, really, really bad hang nail LeDumb had! I believe they had to help him off the floor...
The 80s 90s seasons were the best I'll re watch that for the first time again if I could
Legend yes, but I like to refer to it as “The Clutch Gene”. Not many people had it, but Bird most definitely did.
National
Bird
Association
Bird and magic was the only NBA players who really changed the game for good
Larry Legend was so clutch that to this day the Celtics have the most decorated rafters in the league.
I never missed a Celtics game in those years. The big 3 plus Dennis Johnson and Bill Walton. Didn’t get any better.
I had the privilege to see Larry Bird once live in the Garden in 1987, and I can tell you this: if the Celtics were healthy , particularly during the finals, they would've beaten the Lakers. Larry was unstoppable back then.
Larry Bird was the best
If bird play today he be trashing curry with this non touch rule. Bird be like…you can’t touch me holy grail I shoot.
Rifleman was outgunned that day.
I would say that it appears he only had 2 slugs in the chamber to begin with. While Larry Bird always come with an Army ,Navy, Air Force and Marines battalion fully prepped!!!
Whenever people talk about the top 5 ever, Larry Bird is always at least in the conversation. You know who is NEVER in that conversation? That Persons guy.
Or Pistol Pete. White guys in B-Ball are like Rodney Dangerfield. No RESPECT.
The missing Person
Basketball in the 80’s was the best ever.
32 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists with a back that would have most people in bed and most NBA players would have never played. I am sorry, but Jordan, LeBron, and Kobe did not have the toughness of Bird. That does not take away from those three in anyway. Bird was just at another level of toughness.
Totally. That's part of what makes Larry Bird GOAT
Ya you should have left Jordan off your little list. Every player that played against Jordan understood how tough he was.
@@woodsy3495 Jordan was great no doubt but your opinion doesn't mean 💩 facts do!
Jordan absolutely had the toughness of Bird, since they played in the same era. I agree with you in Kobe and Lebron, although Kobe is mentally tougher than Lebron.
Damn, I tried to thumb this up again but only ended up taking one away. Sorry about that.
Larry Bird is simply the BEST ALL-AROUND PLAYER EVER!!! Best shooting small forward, best rebounding small forward, best passing small forward. Highest basketball IQ of any player EVER!!! I will take Larry Bird in his prime(84,85,86,87) over anybody even MJ. Top five player of all-time. Magic, Michael, Bird, Russell, Wilt. Nobody's beating that team!!!
Funny how the cc refers to Detlef Shrempf as " Deadlift Shrimp"
😂😅🤣
Indiana had a great lineup but i didn't think they could bang with Boston, Boston had a good thing going, they could bang or run, especially with Reggie Lewis.
Good video! 👍 Thanks.
"How many times does he driver that dagger into your heart?" -Mike Fratello
Bird makes my 🐐 team. He's there with Magic, Jordan, Kareem and Malone.
Keep in mind that Bird had spent the night in traction, his back was so bad, and came back with a broken bone in his face to bury the Pacers. Nobody past or present would play under those circumstances.
Larry Bird, with his skill and confidence, has given doughy white guys (like me) basketball hope for decades.
I was attending Indiana State University when the Hick from French Lick was working us all into Hoosier Hysteria.
So great to see those two at the end of video ribbing each other like two brothers. Respect to both of them.
Great vid!
Chuck respectful and a great player no Larry bird caliber until I seen both playing hard Chuck we seen that push to the back OMG 😂 thanks for the video 📸
I’ll never forget that game.
👴🏽👴🏽👴🏽👴🏽
@@ALexander-ue3kj
Ha! Yup.
Back when the NBA was exciting to watch
💯❤️🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌 Larry Legend🤙
Bird and Person would have double their total points in today's "no defense" NBA.
Was in the rafter seats ! We were in college 124-121 LARRY CAME OUT WAS GOOSE BUMPS
These videos are far more entertaining than the NBA has been for a decade.
If Larry could do that at the end of his career against Pearson in his prime?
IMO, Larry was in his prime playing with all those injuries. I mean, how could you continue to put up better than average numbers with all the trouble he had?
Larry blocked out a lot of pain for the love of the game. GOAT
@@andybilakshow260 Back when NBA players played with grit and hustle. Boy, have times changed, and not for the better. Nowadays a hangnail puts you on the bench.
@@321snoot 🍻
That Indiana team with Person and Miller would be well suited for the modern NBA with their long range.
And the complete lack of defense in today’s game.
These guys were fun.
Chuck Person never learned a very important lesson. You never poke the bear in his own cave. He went to the Boston Garden, poke Larry Bird, and got " eaten".
That's is why he is called Larry legend aka Mr shoot your eyes out.
Smartest BKBP that ever played the game.
Retired NBA player current KNBR radio host was telling the story when he was a rookie with the Warriors and was sent into the game to guard Bird. Larry looked over to the Warrior bench and asked why they had the nerve to put a white guy on him.
If Person and Miller could've played like they do today, they would've been unstoppable. I remember these games and Reggie Miller was almost an afterthought. Person was definitely the man on the Pacers.
Reggie Miller was no where near an after thought around 1991. Hell he was just drafted in 87!
Two pure shooters with so-so defense on the same team? Maybe not. They not exactly like Klay Thompson and Steph Curry when it comes to their committment to defense
isaiah thomas is the only one who puts himself in the same group as magic, jordan, and bird lol
Facts lmao
That's because every time he faced Jordan, he shut Jordan down.
@@LordBarros dumars always guarded Jordan
Jordan himself said Isaiah is the second best point guard ever next to magic
Chucks nickname probably wouldn't fly to day.
I now pronounce you Chuck & Larry "Legend."
NBAwesome then
NBAint today
I love the way Thomas assumes anyone would put him the same room (category) with Bird, Johnson, and Jordan. He is not only arrogant - he is delusional.
he'd avg 50 points a game now. Just his low post game alone would dominate the modern 3 point shooting NBA.
00:54 😂😂😂 look at lambert being a thug
I like how Isaiah Thomas tries to put himself into birds league lol
Person wasn’t fit to carry Birds jock. That simple.
Not to many players are. He's my goat and I think a few more.
what are their stats in the games they played together?
Larry Bird is the definition of that tough White Boy in the Hood you don't play with.
Larry Bird was a tough white man in the NBA.
There I fixed it for you son.
@@larryl1427 smh it is not that serious lol
Larry bird. The human version of the sin of pride. Escanor
2 class acts… Bird couldn’t make that joke today about Chuck cutting his lawn…
Ya I know. Larry said his lawnmower will be back from the shop next week🤣
To watch a game these days is like looking at a graffiti filled desecration of mount Rushmore. A great sport that is often unwatchable.
I remember this series…. Bird could barely move at that point..
@6:10 only a coward hits someone from behind.
You see that? Larry didn't even turn around while backing up & stopped right in front of Person before he got shoved to the floor. Larry always knows exactly where everyone is. Unbelievable.
Yep who's coming in second. Truth.b
En la primera jugada del video aparece Fernando Martín.
I have not watched a game for about 20 years or so. Loved Bird and Magic and probably stopped watching after MJ’s second threepeat.
So recently i started watching some games. And to my horror, they played it like i did with video games. Taking threes all over the place and dunking a lot because the AI can’t defend properly. That’s basically today’s NBA.
I thought this video was about Bird, but mostly was about Person. Both great players though.
32-9-7 after the night in the hospital and after that slam....dudes these days get a hang nail and out for a week
Larry bird : THE GOAT
Those were the days. NBA sucks now.
3:58 traction for back pain. Ive been through those and they dont work.
Your injury wasn’t one that responded to traction. Others have injuries that do respond.
@@williamsimmons152 sure it gives relief but a lot of the times, strengthening the core & posterior chain is the best solution. with 82 games of nba season, traction wont help back pain. strengthening will
Dam real basketball right
I never heard of Chuck Person. I guess people don't talk too much about him. He was good.
Why are so many folks in the NBA racist?
I can not believe the Pacer defender let Bird shoot it. He was too good of shooter to let him take a shot. A big mistake!
Doesn't the guy talking realize that trying to be heard with all that drums in the background is not very bright?
An Auburn boy hell yeah War Eagle RoAR AuBURN TiGERS RoAR

da-bird the word
