Bird was ruthless but he wasn’t uptight and constantly angry like they’re portraying him in WT.
If you're on the opposite side of the court, then hell yea he was. People were legit terrified of him.
Bird has a great sense of humour. Here they make him look like an uptight asshole.
Understand that this is a TV show where Bird is basically the antagonist and seen from Magic's POV. Bird was an old-school competitor who would let everyone know that he was the big dog. If you google "Greatest NBA Trash Talker" you'll find him at #1 on most lists, yet he was reserved off the court. Not many people actually knew him.
If this show makes it to 1986 and that Converse commercial shot in French Lick where Bird invited Magic to lunch at his mother's house, you'll get the other side of him.
No kidding man. This isn't accurate at all.
He was a punk tho lol
Larry has been living in the mind of every 80's era player rent free
Don't forget that Larry Bird got into the heads of Pat Riley, Frank Layden, and Chuck Daly.
what tittle this movie
@@RRemegio Winning Times
Not in Magic's mind, he has 5 rings and Larry has 3.............
Larry Bird did this to everyone.
Agree
But he meant it with Magic most of all.
I grew up in New England in the 80s. Larry Bird was the guy every kid wanted to be like.
Gotta love Bird 😂
He’s a lifelong Lakers fan I fucking love Larry Bird. He brought the best out of us and anybody to talk shit about Larry Bird. Don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
Oh I do
I do it, for sure!
I always have & always will
Personally, I would have rather watched a Winning Time series dedicated to Larry Bird and the Celtics.
To me, Larry Bird’s back story is infinitely more compelling and Shakespearean than Magic’s story.
They’ve been saying F Boston so much that I would be surprised if they don’t get a show 😂
And his injury and slow decline over the second half of his career... and the way he still dragged himself up and down the court to get the Celtics into the playoffs year after year... would have fit right into that Shakespearean epic.
Not to mention joining the greatest team of all time and winning gold to end his career... Shakespearean maybe Hollywood worthy definitely.
I mean... Larry was cold-blooded, but he was also a little more jovial than they portrayed him. He talked shit, but he had fun with it, and he LOVED when someone took the bait and started busting their ass to beat him. I still love the character, though.
This actor's presence is eeiry how much he not only captures how Larry Legend look, how he talk, move around, but his entire essence. It look less like an actor playing him than they did a deep-fake it so spot-on. The rest of the cast look like what it is: actors doing a reenactment of real life events, but the Larry stand-in don't seem like a body double. It look like they digitally inserted actual documentary footage of Larry Bird into the existing shot scenes of the movie with the lookalikes from set.
😂 ahhh you gotta love the hick from French lick
The series needs more Larry Bird stories!!!! ❤❤❤❤
WHY? Go watch a series about Bird. This is supposed to be about the LAKERS.
@@emmanuelenyinwa1443 someones a salty lakers fan. its ok. larry forgives you.
@@Cristian-vm1bg Larry? The SAME dude Magic whipped 3 out of 4 times they met?
When Cooper or whoever it was started talking trash to Larry after game 6 I was screaming at the tv like nooo don’t get him riled up 😂
Larry bird is a top ten nba player in history. Very underrated.
Very underrated indeed...I personally put him in the top 2.
Jordan didn't start winning rings until Bird retired...maybe it's a coincidence, just saying
Bird was never underrated. From 1984-to-1986 Larry Legend was considered the best basketball player in the game. Michael Jordan's 63-points game 2 performance against the Boston Celtics in the 1st. round of the 1986 Playoffs represented the future superstar of the NBA.
@@billblaski9523AND MAGIC caught HIV
Jordan never beat Bird, swept him twice. @@billblaski9523
The guys playing bird and magic are incredible
I moved to Southern Indiana from L.A in 94. These Southern Indiana Hoosiers are tough as hell on the court.
Larry Legend 🐐🐐🐐
They really had Larry out here lookin like a corrupt cop who moonlights for the klan
My favorite moment was from season 1 when the actors who portray Magic and Bird first time together on screen during the press conference.
It was hilarious “let’s get this shit over with “ 😂
I revel in great joy that a show that was supposed to be about the lakers ended with the celtics winning a championship.
the casting on "winning" time was fantastic..the characters were almost better than the people they were playing.
bot
No, it sucked Larry Bird was much taller. Kareem was played by a 6ft 9 or 10 guy lol. Larry looks like a short psycho version of himself and they portray people in a bad light in an over-the-top way. I was disappointed that they did it that way. I was around in these times and this is the worst bio-type series I have ever seen. They make excuses for Magic left and right and never admit that he lost to the Celtics because they had a better team at that time and Larry was the better all-around player period.
exactly !@@erics9754
Better ? Doesn’t make sense.
Better at being Bird than Bird was at being Bird???
Same with Kareem, Magic, Buss, Aerabach, Riley etc etc.
As a frustrated NY Knicks fan back in the 1980's, I'm glad on the depiction of Larry Bird in this series. I haven't watched the series yet because I'm aware that it's based on true events and some of the series is a bit fabricated. But Larry 1st, and then Julius Erving were my favorite players growing up. I don't care what today's fans think of today's GOAT conversations. I won't argue about Michael Jordan and LeBron James because those great players have amazing stats. But Larry Legend and Dr. J will always be my guys. And I revere Earvin Magic Johnson, Kareem and the other Lakers, but I was an east coast fan at heart. I always say this from other forums on CZcams, the 1981 & 1982 Eastern Conference Finals were the best back-to-back 7 game series I've ever watched. The 1981 ECF by itself is considered the best 7 game series in NBA history to this day. I never get bored rewatching those series.
"1981 & 1982 Eastern Conference Finals were the best back-to-back 7 game series I've ever watched. The 1981 ECF by itself is considered the best 7 game series in NBA history to this day. I never get bored rewatching those series."
Agree with every single letter.
Couldn't agree more. 1981 Larry Bird was a BEAST. People remember Bird as a trash talking jump shooter, but Bird began his career as a no nonsense interior BANGER. Ine the first half of that 1981 series,he was tossing the Sixers big men around like rag dolls.
Absolutely Celtics down 3 to 1. Then the Celtics earned the Blue Collar Badge of Honor and win 3 in a row. The 88 Eastern Conference Finals are a close second. Bird with Bronchial Pneumonia, bad feet and back brings the Celtics back in the fourth to win game seven. Bird just willed it.
The Heak from French Leak
This definitely wasn't real but the player characters were soo on point!
bird never trash talked in a nasty manner. He almost always had a smile on his face too. None of this shit happened the way it is portrayed. Just go ask larry and magic
Tell that to Lambeer.
bird never talked trash to laimbeer bc laimbeer never covered him; lambeer just fouled the shit out of him@@somethindarker
I really don’t see how these two characters becoming best friends like in real life😂
bird is so cold
winning time might be about lakers. but portrayal of larry bird felt better than any laker player.
I think they nailed Bird. Acting and demeanor. Bird was an introverted awkward guy since childhood especially after his father's suicide. Sure we know bird was relaxed but to his opponents... he was ruthless. He even admitted he was pretty antagonistic towards Magic. So pissed this show got canceled.
It got cancelled? Wtf! Looks like this is gonna join that long list of great shows that got cancelled way too early. Dammit i hate how great shows get canned but then other shows that are mediocre will somehow run for like 10 seasons
@jeremyroberts8822 yup that's why this season felt rushed. They blew through like 3 years in season two to buildup Bird.vs Magic
They didn't nail Bird's demeanor at all. He wasn't an angry, uptight miserable prick. Although he was laser-focused, he was also jovial. He enjoyed the rivalries and the give-and-take on the court. BUT.... this show is from Magic's perspective, so that may well be how he saw Bird at that time.
Bird was a G.
The guy playing Bird is shorter than the guy playing Magic Wrong Larry was 2 to 3 inches taller just look at pics of them.
But he looks just like the young version of the real deal don’t ya think
Yes I always saw Bird measured at 6'10..Magic 6'9....People forget how big Larry actually was.I was watching an interview with ex NBA player Jamal Mashburn.Played PF with the Mavericks/Heat during his career.He was part of a college All Star team that got to scrimmage against the Dream Team in '92.He said the first thing that shocked him was how big Bird actually was in person.I believe Mashburn was 6'8.Bird was really about the same height as Nikola Jokic.Just quicker & more fluid.
Both Magic and Bird did not act like this, although these actors copied their look pretty damn well. Bird was not that angry, Magic didnt cuss like that, they didnt trash talk each other with that kind of anger it was much more respectful from both sides. I dont like how this made both of these guys look.
Larry Bird was a better player than Magic Johnson.
Bird was AVERAGE.....Magic has more championships during that same period. I am kidding Bird was a great player but Magic is still BETTER!!!!!
@@darrylbrown8253magic had better players on his team. Larry was the better player. He had better numbers, better shooter and better defense
@@derekbeck9124 nope sorry.....The lakers may have averaged more points but the Celtics were more efficient each trip down the floor. When you play up and down constantly for 48 minutes you are going to have more scoring opportunities which is why the Lakers averaged more points than the Celtics during that
@@derekbeck9124 also the career fg% percentage for Magic Johnson is 52% while Larry Bird's is 49.6 lol.
@@darrylbrown8253 who scored more pts, rebs and had more game winners
if the show gets ti the ‘84 season.. that will be off the hook
Magic beat Bird with an old Kareem. 5 rings to 3 rings plus beating him in college finals. What more could Magic do?
3:44 Hilarious 😆
French "Leak" at 7:08. C'mon. Redo that audio.
I was thinking the same thing!
I get its made for TV but come on. They made Magic look almost schizophrenic. They both state during that time that they respected each other even though they weren't friends. In this it sounds like Larry Bird is an asshole for assholes sake which he isnt. Most NBA players who played against him describe his trash talk as low, quiet and matter of factly. "I'm gonna go over to this corner for a jumper and it better not touch the rim, if it does I'm gonna come right back here and do it again." This imagining of Bird seems like hes always angry.
Beta white male fantasy. Magic didn't give TWO shits about Bird. My favorite Magic moment was after the Lakers put their foot on the Celtics ass in Game 6 of the 1985 title and were celebrating in Boston, Brent Musberger came to interview Magic. Magic gave him the smile and he went away, but the camera stayed on Magic and he started making a circular motion with his finger on his head "that clown is crazy".
This is what’s called historical fiction
I would like to see an Episode from the ‘85 Finals where he gets into a bar fight at Chelsea’s.
Bird was portrayed in a goofy manner. He was a likeable but competitive confident guy. They portray him here as an asshole like the bad guy in real life he was a good hard-working small-town guy with good values and dedication. It was insulting the way he was portrayed and it was very biased so I stopped watching. I hope they make a Celtics blue-collar time TV series that gives Magic and the Lakers a taste of their own medicine.
Could you be more uptight? It was the first season. Jeez.
You know what's sad, don't believe neither one use dirty words like that. Bird was quiet and used his playing to show his game
If you watched the first season when Magic made it to the finals the first time they had bird watching the series from Indiana with his brothers were using racial slurs. From what Magic really said, is that his family loved him in real life.
@@darrylbrown8253 they tried really hard to make everything about race with this show
@@vincenthammons-kd9dudont get me wrong there was that dynamic but Larry never participated in that stuff.
I just saw a snip of Bird and MJ from mid to late 90s they were both cursing like sailors at each other, it was hilarious it was in a brotherly love place though not hateful but you can tell there's alot respect between those two ,but any way , I kind of believe Bird let the words fly on the court and a little off too
French Leek?
To bad there won't be a season 3
If we gotta pick anime characters for basketball?
Magic johnson and Larry Legend are obviously Goku and Vegeta
This isn't the real Larry Bird.
Magic was as big or an even bigger trash talker !
Westfall was the coach gee
This is a horrible portrayal of Bird. Bird is hilarious.
He’s hilarious in the portrayal
Not even close to real life
The fact imaginary Larry is an actual character on the show.
Tho I do think the show overused the imaginary character element
They did but it was dope imo
How old is Dr.J? 55 or 60
This show looks like a big hit piece against Larry Bird.
I think the portrayal is a bit 2 dimensional.
this was exaggerated 😂😂
Bro change the voice
Show got cancelled
Doesn't that actor playing Bird have to much chin to be Bird??? Idk I think Spike Lee was right...
FRENCH LEAK???? WTF????
Geez..a good upload..would of real footage..its all all out ther...not subscribing
Did they really need to have the acne on bird I've seen worse
Some advice - when you post a video entitled, "Every Time Bird Trash Talked and Got into Magic's Head on 'Winning Time,'" people are going to click on your video to watch those scenes. People do not need to hear your commentary as well. With you talking constantly, it leads people to believe that you manipulated others, who just want to watch the scenes, to listen to your talking. People who watch clips from this show have either (1) already watched this show and would like to watch clips again OR (2) They would like to watch some scenes due to convenience. In other words, your commentary in this video is unnecessary and EXCESSIVE!
Complete bullshit..Larry was playing the black waiters at the hotel when he was 11/ 12 yrs old..he'd get right off the bus and wait till they went on their break
Really bad acting..esp bird
He was so unattractive on so many levels. Never liked his play.
White American FANTASY is HILARIOUS.😂😂😂😂😂
🥴🥴🥴🥴
Magic didn't give TWO SHITS about Bird and whipped him in college and whipped him in the NBA. The entire Bird bandwagon just flipped over to Michael Jordan. In this racist FANTASY, Bird is still "badass" while getting his ass handed to him.
Um apparently you've watched zero interviews with magic.. 😆
You should do some research before saying anything. Dont worry you will learn
You are most likely the only racist here
You must have not heard Bird's Hall of Fame speech. He was the one who had Magic in his head, and said so, too. Why would Magic CARE about Bird in 1982?He had owned Bird Everytime they had met and had won two titles and had two Final MVPs by his 3rd season while Bird wasn't even the FMBP the one time the Celtics won.
Bro, you are tripping with that comment.
These guys curse too much
It's HBO, not PBS... Waaah!
@@TrumpFanNetwork2 I know but it's unnecessary,I'm sure it's exaggerated. People in real life don't curse every other word unless they re lowlifes from Staten Island. I don't think Bird was as nasty as they depict him
@@mattveteska8559 Larry Bird was all about it. Just check all the testimonials from former players. He was an absolute savage.
@@supawavyrecords523 I agree I just don't think he was as malicious as he was made out to be,also they exaggerated how much he smoked cigarettes. He was much more conscious about his health. They make him out to be a white trash hick,he was actually intelligent and well spoken and certainly not a republican
@@mattveteska8559 no doubt man everyones character is exaggerated a bit, some more so. Regardless, it's a great show very entertaining and the script is fantastic.
French Leek?
