The greatest rivalry in NBA history!!!
Larry basketball IQ was off the chart
As was Magic’s
@@davidkazaka4339 i agree 100%
Kareem agreed with Magic on Bird’s BB IQ!
@@paulshanahan135 So did Walton, McHale, and many other people.
So lucky to see these two great players play in their prime. Basketball owes a lot to magic and bird
Magic is a class act they don’t make them like that anymore
Zeek n Jordan
a class act who got aids? 🤣
@@geert574 stupid comment
@@geert574 He got AIDS, big deal. Bet you get sick now and then too. You have 199 subscribers? Wow! That sure is impressive!
@@geert574 Yep
I love what Pat Riley said if I need a shot to win the game I choose Michael Jordon. If I need to shot to save my life I choose Larry Bird
I've said that Steph Curry is the Greatest Shooter ever. But last second, do or die, give me Bird all day long.
I cant find the interview or quote where he actually said that
Magic is a Great, Great man. He transcends sports, he is a wonderful guy, great role model. So is Bird. We were so lucky 🍀
Role model? Well except for the contracting HIV thing.
Role model? What role and what model? If he is not rick, he would die a long time ago.
How IGNORANT the two commenters above me are ! *Anyone* can contract HIV, and it’s not always through sex !
Magic is a GREAT role model for MANY reasons : work ethic, perseverance, winning mindset… and yes, not only helping to educate people about HIV/AIDS, but donating his time, money and personal energies to raise funds for research and providing medications to those in need. (The Magic Johnson Foundation) .
Besides, his being SO open and honest about being HIV+ brought the disease to a new level of attention… that lead to a public outcry for govt research funds (when it was “just a gay disease”, it was ignored and thousands died in agony and with no hope).
Magic IS a great man, and a great role model - and I’m delighted he is still with us !
Unfortunately Bird’s body didn’t have longevity, but for 7 or 8 years he was the best player in the world. And he knew it
Growing up a Sixers fan Dr. J was my idol and Sixers fans hated Larry Bird but I got to be honest I respected him more than any other player in the league him and Magic
We who grew up in southern Indiana feel the same respect for magic. The only guy I can think of who could play every position on the court at an all star level.
Larry Bird and magic Johnson both was defensive abilities
@timmitchell4727 I live 15 miles from MSU, so Magic lore is not new to me. In college, MSU played local rival Central Michigan. CMU is not at the same level as MSU, but that season they had game. CMU's play was the fast break, and they went hard on MSU with it in this game. Coach Heathcote wouldn't play along, depending on his usual set plays as always. But at some point Magic had had enough and all of a sudden MSU became a run and gun team for 20 minutes. They never looked back and buried CMU with their own play book.
Little did we know we were seeing what the Prime Time Lakers would become.
LeBron,love him or hate him,is another guy who can play every position. Not just in a pinch like Magic in the finals when Kareem went down. LeBron has been listed officially at every position at one point in his career. I prefer Magic and Bird to LeBron but gotta give him credit where its due. He can also guard 1-5 (at least at some poiny in his career, his defense now isnt as good)
@@riffsthatkill2180
I said at an all star level.
The golden years of basketball
larry was beast, only few can turn the game like he could
Magic is a class act and Larry Bird and Dr J are my two best small forwards ever
I LOVE MY LARRY BIRD ❤️ ☘️ BIG CELTICS FAN HERE! I WAS 18 IN 1984! WHEN THE CELTICS BEAT THE LAKERS IN THE FINALS! MAGIC I RESPECT YOU AND YOUR GAME! HELLO FROM LOUDOUN COUNTY VIRGINIA 😎
Magic is a class act
In what?
This video talks about an era when I was a big fan of the NBA. No more. I can't remember the last time that I watched a full game. Wouldn't waste a dollar on attending a game.
Larry Bird said Dennis Johnson was yhe smartest player he ever played with.
It was nearly Torture, watching these two teams . So many Great players on both Teams .
As one star player, who never played against Larry Bird until an All Star game, said, "he got eyes".
Subbed.. Man, you knocked it out of the park with this one.
You were his mama's favorite player, Magic according to the Converse commercial.
I met Magic Johnson at Iowa City in 1978. I was visiting some friends at the University of Iowa at the Fieldhouse and we were playing basketball. Magic and Gregory Kelser walked in. Magic came up to me with a big smile and asked if we wanted to play Kelsor and him. I nervously declined. They were 2 of the best players in the country. Magic said, "Com on, it'll be fun". I said "fun for you, we'll get slaughtered". He just smiled and walked away. I now realize I should have played just to say I played basketball with Magic Johnson. I was a decent player but none of us were in a league with those two
Bird was way smarter then most players obviously. Other players were low class.
Magic was good with the showtime lakers but
Larry is still *GOAT*
You don't give Magic enough credit. Magic beat Larry in college, Magic got that 'ring', not Larry, so not only just good with Showtime. Magic won a ring as a ROOKIE. My first pick in an all time draft would be Magic, no doubt in my mind. He made good players great. But I sure wouldn't be crying if it was Bird.
So, they would have remained in hate if not for Mama Bird? Sounds like an Angel to me, and Larry's greatness is not surprising if she raised him.
True rivalry to true friendship
Magic is a class act. Maybe he should be president 🤔
Ha,ha,
What are you talking about??
GREAT VIDEO, I REALLY ENJOYED IT. I'M FORTUNATE TO HAVE SEEN LARRY BIRD PLAY IN PERSON BUT NOT MAGIC JOHNSON. LARRY MUST HAVE HAD A BAD NIGHT, HE ONLY GOT 40 POINTS AT THAT CHARLOTTE, NC GAME. 😉😃😃😃😃
That's funny because a lot of NBA players would say it was Magic!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏👏👏👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Each PRACTICED hating the other.
The REAL America
She hates the word hate!!!!!
Magic was a better playmaker passer rebounder with higher IQ than any SG who played in the NBA from 1984 to 2003.
@Tim Mitchell Magic was a PG, not a SG
@Tim Mitchell sorry it fordynamic
@@timmitchell4727he was 20 when kareem won them that ring
Than Bird?
Youre huffing purple paint.
Charlie Rose wasn't too smart pulling his pants down.
Did he forget to unbuckle his belt?
@@jopflah416 Ask the ladies he creeped-out at CBS and PBS.
The Magic/Bird era was the best for me. Granted, if I had experienced Bill Russell winning ring after ring after ring, I'd probably think differently. I believe Magic's Showtime Lakers could have beaten anyone. Today's NBA is boring, I can't watch a whole game, doesn't excite me at all. When LeBron came to the Lakers, I stopped being a fan.
So it wasn't Craig Ehlo?
HI there. I don't need the guilt trip to like and subscribe...good wholesome content is all I need! Thanks.
Hi there. No one cares. And no one made an issue out of it except you. And it's not a guilt trip, you just took it the wrong way. And you must be new to CZcams. Thank you and you are very welcome.
How is this guy still alive?
didnt u see south park 😆
@@geert574 wtf
That he ever played against? Larry Bird.
Larry Bird said Dennis Johnson was the smartest player he ever played with.
With... not against
Michael Jordan the best
Dislike..... hahaha
Larry is not "white". He is Native American on both parents' sides. He is also Scottish and Irish.
What?
@@AnonimusGuyNamedIvan check it out in Wikipedia "Bird's parents were of Irish, Scottish and some Native American descent.[9] He has four brothers and a sister.[10]' They just changed it recently. It used to say he had Native American ancestry from both parents.
iv been saying that for yrs
@The Juggernaut Of course. My point is to say that all the race talk is silly That's why I put quotes around the word white. Most African American players have English or Scots Irish ancestors, too. When they used to ask Larry about being a "white" player, he used to just say, " I don't see race. Is there something wrong with that?" Great answer.
which means he is white lol... not white 😂
Micah Jordan the GOAT. Ain’t no question.
Bird and Magic are two of the greatest to ever step on the court.
Magic should've left them boys alone and he wouldn't have that shit now
Gayle King is full of bullshit. We love you Magic + Larry.
I was a big magic Johnson fan i don’t care what he says there have been no player can make Eight out ten from half court othe than Damian Lillard and Stephen curry
If you watch Larry Bird who was brilliant but nobody double team him they double and triple teamed Michael Jordan and the double and triple team Stephen curry once he pass half court it to take the shot when you six two being double team
Have you seen his clutch shot with both Jordan and Pippen hanging on to him? This is a stupid comment
@@HarmanHundal01 even though I don’t like Michael Jordan know body and I mean know body was more clutch than him and if Larry Bird tell the truth he would say he wasn’t in that class
You clueless bastid....
@@ivorywatts3881 Nobody? Pat Riley would have to disagree.
@@anthonyparkinson5820 I watch the game just like Pat Riley
