Larry would have today's players crying to their mommy's with the trash talk. Haha
Probably would get a technical foul or ejected for murdering players soul verbally. But KG still the baddest trashtalker lmao.
@@admiralmu4353 KG right there with Bird, but I got the Birdman at the top.
No doubt
LMFAO yeah, I think LeBron would try to get Bird ejected.
@@admiralmu4353
Nobody got into people's heads like Larry. KG is just a different type of trash talker. Not nearly as effective
Someone said:
When you played against Michael Jordan, he made you look slow.
When you played against Larry Bird, he made you look stupid.
James Worthy.
MJ says he learned everything he knows about getting in folks heads from Larry.
Michael Jordan faced Larry 6 times in the playoffs and lost all six to Larry
Facts
The Bulls faced the Celtics…look at those teams the Celtics had.
True but if you switched teams.... what would the results have been?
Jheez
@@romile55 excuse me the Bulls were good enough to get into the playoffs
The "you got a white guy on me" gets me every damn time!!💪😂
I was fortunate enough to watch Larry Bird's entire career. Highlights don't do him justice. He wasn't the best in any single stat (probably because he was too busy being a TEAM player), but I'd argue that he was the best all-around basketball player of all time.
I'm one of those "over 40" men you spoke of. I watched every game on TV back in the 80's, man! They played hard. I want to commend both of you. I have watched reaction videos before. I don't think I heard one vulgar word out of either of you two young men. I am strengthened when I find two young men who don't front, you are who you are. I have seen too much bad stuff and had become cut off from the world. Watching this video has made my day better. Thank you both. You will succeed in life. Keep on working, gotta keep on.
Bird did EVERYTHING great. Scored, averaged double digit rebounds, steals, passing…everything. The most complete player ever. Don’t confuse athletic with being great. Bird did all this at a time when you could mug someone and not get a foul called. In todays soft ass NBA Bird would AVERAGE 40. He swept Jordan in the playoffs….twice. SWEPT him. The great coach Pat Riley said….if I need one shot to win the game I am picking Jordan…if I need one shot to save my LIFE, I am picking Bird. Game….set….match
"He" didn't sweep Jordan the Celtics had 6 Hall of Famers on that team, and is considered one of the best teams of all time. Stick to hockey scrub.
@@nucl3arboNg why are you mad? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, Bird is the only player MJ doesn't have a winning record in the playoffs against. You do have valid points, but it is what it is. I will say this, back in that era was nothing but greatness, all around......today's league is a lot softer. Here is a tidbit for you. MJ and Bird was putting numbers on people when hand checking was allowed. Today, MJ would get 60 and Bird would easily have 45 plus with a career triple double average.
Larry’s teammates owe their HOF status to Larry. Parish said his 5,000 points were because of Larry. LB was a team player & actively sought to get everyone involved. MJ’s focus was his own stats.
@@chenito36 your right
Yes indeed
We grew up watching these guys. Way more physical back then. Keep this in mind. All these guys being interviewed are in the HoF. Byrd is a bad dude.
Imagine if the greats from the 80s played in today's league. They'd all be averaging 40+
Dude it's spelled BIRD.
Bird also has a kid with his grandchild, he’s no saint.
Keep in mind that this is during an era where ‘incidental contact’ was allowed so retaliation was also possible.
Jordan was 0-6 against bird in playoff series
Michael was in the league for 7 of Larry's playing years, but the only time Michael advanced farther in the playoffs than Larry did was in Larry's last two years, when Larry's back was so jacked up that he had to lie down on the floor in front of the bench when he was subbed out, instead of sitting on the bench with the rest of the team.
And in the first of those two last years, 1991 - the first year the Bulls won the title - the Celtics and Bulls met in a key late-regular-season matchup. At that moment, the Celtics were just 1.5 games behind the Bulls for best record in the East, and the Celtics won the game 135-132 with jacked-up Larry dropping 32/15/8/3/1 to bring the Celtics within half game of the conference-leading Bulls with 9 games to go in the season.
But by the time the ECSF rolled around, both the Celtics and defending champion Pistons had been wrecked by injuries, leaving the Bulls path to the finals wide open. And on top of that, the Pistons and Celtics faced each other in the ECSF, so the Bulls only had to beat one of them to take the ECF. So if one or two injury scenarios happen differently, it could easily have been a scene where the eventual-champion Bulls meet a healthier Celtics in the playoffs - and the Celtics did match up WAY better against the Bulls than the Pistons did that year - especially since the Celts still had Reggie Lewis, who was probably the toughest 1v1 matchup Michael ever faced. With a little luck, maybe Michael ends his career with 5 rings and Larry ends his with 4.

That first example, Byron Scott telling the story, Worthy had a fistful of Bird's jersey but the only real hope of stopping Bird was denying him the ball. Worthy tried, but.... Bucket!
Larry crushed his knuckle just before he started his rookie season with the Celtics but never told the team management. He said it affected his feel for the ball or he would;ve scored more. He played with an injured back and in pain a lot . He also carried the pain of his dad's suicide
Bird was a tough man. Guys today get a hangnail and they ride the bench for three games...
Larry new Michael was a great player. After M J's 63 points in the playoffs Larry said that's God dressed as Michael Jordan.
Bird was the best All AROUND player in the league.
Larry is the GOAT for lots of reasons.. not the least is the mental game. 😄
Larry owned Michael Jordan. Bird was the only guy MJ couldn't crack.
Rookie of the Year...3 straight MVP's with a LOT of competition.
"Larry Bird Almost Makes A Player Commit Suicide" - you'll laugh your guts out.
Check out Larry Bird greatest passer of all time re-edit with new footage, Larry Bird most Savage Moments, 5 times Bird was injured and refused to quit, and the best sports documentary Magic and Bird A Courtship of Rivals.
I'm 40, I had the provider of growing up watching all of the best to ever do it while in their prime. Bird , Jordan, kobe, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Nolan Ryan, Jose Canseco, bo fucking jackson 👏😂and the list goes on. It was a great time to grow up
for me the 3 best players I've seen are MJ, Jabbar and Larry Bird. But Bird is the player who made me love this sport.
He was known as basketball Jesus. He was must see TV, he was a basketball miracle. He brought everything he had and him and magic saved the game. I think Jordan is the greatest of all time, but larry may be the most significant player of all time. He was a savant and he will always be my favorite player. He was pure grit, soul, clutch and the most skilled player of all time. He was beautiful
@@antonedecosta9822
Also his b-ball I.Q was matched by no other. Not to mention his gift of getting under people's skin. If I had to pick one player to make my franchise around, I'm picking Bird. Best all-around player ever.
The low post game of that era showed who was great, and who was not quite there yet, and the Celtics at that time had the best inside game in the league. That fierce in-fighting is totally missing from todays game, and most of today's teams would get crushed by the mid-80's Celtics, Lakers, Pistons, and Bulls.
Larry was a better shooter than MJ. Free throws, threes and regular field goals. Look it up.
Larry legend was also a better rebounder and passer. Look it up.
Larry even had the same lifetime assist percentage.
Larry was the best of all time and I ought to know. I was there.
Exactly. Best all-around player ever. There was nothing he couldn't do. His hustle, basketball I.Q and the way he got under people's skin was matched by no other. Larry Legend - GOAT
Jordan never made finals until Bird retired. Closest he came to beating Bird in a playoff game was 90-91 when the game went to double overtime. Bird was coming off double Achilles surgery and was wearing a back brace under his clothes. Still kept up with prime Jordan and Pippen.
Jamal Mashburn tells a great Larry Bird trash talking story I think y’all would like. Not only funny but just incredible. Happened during the dream team. Great reaction video
Pat Riley quote "..if I had to pick one player to take the shot to win the game, I'd choose Michael Jordan, if I had to pick one player to take the shot to save my life, I'd choose Larry Bird..."
check out the bird video were he almost made a nba player commit suicide, hilarious!
Michael had great stats against the Celtics, but Bird had triple doubles almost every time they beat the Bulls in the playoffs. MJ set the all time playoff record with 63. Amazing. But keep in mind that game Larry had 36 pts, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 40% from three point land, 6/7 free throws. Not saying Larry’s performance was better, but they won in OT because of Larry, plain and simple
Just remember in the first clip where Byron Scott tells the story the Laker players on the court at the time that Larry told them the play and made the shot where - Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, James Worthy, Michael Cooper and Byron Scott.
They knew what was going to happen but yet they could not stop him.
Larry Bird is and always will be my favorite ball player of all time. I loved watching him with my brother. The trash he talked and backed it up was amazing!!
In which ever sport,you gotta love a trash talker that can deliver.I mean anyone can run their mouth,but not everyone can put their words into action.
I've always been a fan of the trash talkers in sports. Especially Mayorga.
I know it's been a year but omg I'm feeling the purest joy watching this with you guys. When no-baseball cap dude says "Put me in a green jersey, I'm on his team!" I started laughing so hard I'm in tears. Thanks so very much for a great reaction, you both give off fun, outgoing vibes. Have a great day, everyone!
Watch Larry bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit. AMAZING
I have watched NBA all my life and i really think Larry Bird is the best player ever. I'm not disrespecting the other greats in every generation but he is still the best by far. He is called "Larry Legend" by his peers and fans for a reason.
They used to be able to play. Trash talking still happens. But the game was more physical without every touch being a foul. It was great to watch.
Bulls never beat the Celtics in the playoffs can we say 0 - 6
The last key factor in Bird being the GOAT, was because he (and Magic Johnson) saved the NBA. Before they entered the league playoff games were being shown on tape delay after the late news. The NBA was dying. Ratings were terrible, there were serious drug issues with some players, and attendance was falling. There would probably be no NBA without those two individuals and what they brought to the game. Case in point, I worked a an auto manufacturing plant 1990-2005 and one of the guys I met there had played 6 years in the NBA in the 70s prior to Bird/Magic and his top salary was $30,000/year. Watch "Magic Johnson and Larry Bird - A Courtship of Rivals"
Bird is the GOAT!!! There will never be another Larry Bird!!!
Larry Legend is the G.O.A.T of trash talkers. 🐐
James Worthy said something to the effect that the difference between Jordan and Byrd was that Jordan made you look slow and Byrd made you look stupid
Jordan never beat Bird but Bird be every great player in his era so what does that tell you. My top three is Bird, Jordan ,and Magic.
Precisely!
Its a good thing all these stories are on video and backed up by other players of the era because if they werent no one who wasnt there wouldntn believe them.
Saw a interview with larry,,he ask him why he plays hurt in a regular season game,,bird looks him up and down and says,,well,first,,it my job and l love it,second,l owe it to my teammates and the organization to play if at all possible,,and the most important thing to me are the fans,,some family saves all year to come watch me play,,l can't disappoint them,,,Larry legend
Larry Legend. G.O.A.T.!!!!!!!
As a 72 year old white lady who is not into basketball at all, I throughly enjoyed watching you young men enjoy this video.
You might give MJ the edge, BUT he went 0 for 6 in the finals and that is history.
Lol, I’m 57. I didn’t appreciate my man Bird when I was younger. I loved Magic. I love both those dudes. Without them, there’d be no NBA!!!
I enjoyed this video...your laughs are infectious haha
James Worthy tells more of the story in a different interview, and he explained that he thought that he was fast enough to steal the ball before it could get passed to Larry, but it didn't work out the way he hoped.
Growing up die hard Magic Johnson fan n Lakers fan, I've grown to appreciate LB. Hated the man back in the day. Hated the Celtics and the fans. I hated color green. But today, I learned to appreciate LB, the Celtics and the fans. Simple fact is, if no Celtics, then no rivalry in the 80s. The best pure rivalry in any sport of any decade. Besides maybe the 60s with, you guessed it Lakers n Celtics
Jordan did beat ( almost ) everyone. But not Bird. He admits that Larry got the best of him and he like many others admitted Larry presented the biggest obstacle to winning in the playoffs. And you can’t leave out Magic. That’s the right name for him. The beautiful graceful Magic against the rough and tumble Bird is largely responsible for everyone nowadays being able to see professional basketball played on the biggest stage in the world. Those two should have a special place at the head of the table of all others.
Brad Daugherty didn't tell full story. As he went by Bird and landed, Bird hit him on the butt with the ball. 😂😂😂😂😂 I wonder why he left that out! Little embarrassed maybe,,,,,alot. 😂😂

My favorite NBA Player of all time - Larry Bird ☘️🏀➰🏀
Larry Legend is the only one MJ never got the best of
Larry being offended a white guy was guarding him may be one of the funniest NBA stories of all time.
You guys seemed to like the trash talk so here is Larry Bird's most savage moments. czcams.com/video/cBD0du1-h1o/video.html
Larry trash talk but he backed it up with the greatest game the greatest ballplayer of his time. Obviously he’s in the Hall of Fame well-deserved but anytime Larry talked he backed it up…
Do some more Larry Legend videos you will get alot of Subscribers don't get it twisted Larry Legend can fight and he did 🐐🐐🐐🐐☘️👍🏀🏀🏀
Lots of Bird watchers out here.
Just subscribed my brothas Larry talked so much trash. Larry legend. 👍🏾👍🏾😏
Larry Legend once had 41 points, and was one steal away from a quadruple double at the end of the third quarter. He then pulled himself out of the game because the Celtics were ahead by more than 20 points. Someone asked him why he didn’t go back in just to get his last steal, to which he replied, “I can get a quadruple double whenever I want to, we were way ahead and no need of me going back in.”
John Stockton tells a story from his rookie year, when Larry walked by the Jazz bench right before the game started and told them (the entire Jazz team) that he felt good tonight and he’d get 43.” Stockton goes on to explain that Larry hit 43 points in the beginning of the 4th quarter and then took himself out of the game, just so he’d the end the game with 43 points, like he said he would.
A lot of the videos show the pre-fight face off with Bird and Dr. J, but what they don’t explain is how Larry got Dr. J pissed off enough to go fists to cuffs. From the start of the game Larry started repeating two numbers to Dr. J, the number of points Bird had and the number of pints Dr. J had. By the third quarter those numbers were 42 (Bird) and 6. It was at that point Danny Ainge says Bird told Dr. J he should retire. 3 minutes later Mose Malone and Charles Barkley were holding Bird’s arms while Dr. J was punching him.
One of birds last best shots was hitting a jumper while being double teamed by Jordan and pippen
I grew up in Brazil in the 80's and my dad loved the Celtics... He said Larry was one of the greatest...
I'm an old guy and I loved watching Bird in those days.
Omg to funny, “put me in a green jersey”
Larry bird is the Eminem but in basketball 😂
3 stories to check out Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton and Jayson Williams on Bird interviews funny asf
Jordan did get swept in the playoffs twice by Birds Çeltics, but on one of those games Bird called Jordan God disqised as a basketball player.
He had that country boy style, he was stripped down, honest
The white guy was Mark Ivaroni
"I don't know if we can go back to the fuzzy look."
It wasn't nearly as fuzzy back then. Unlike modern digital storage, the analog films and tapes they used back then degrade slowly over time.
So with a DVD, you put it in a box for ten years and then pull it out and play it, it's still the same. But if you do the same with a VHS, you'll probably be able to see a difference. And if you play the VHS every week for ten years instead of just storing it, then it will be even worse.
The CRT TV's in the 80's were capable of around modern 720dpi, which is pretty darn decent. But the broadcast signals were usually only like 240 or 360 dpi. Not quite as good as modern hi res of course, but still definitely watchable - and way better than a 40 year old VHS looks today.
Larry Legend is the GOAT.
the interesting thing is that the reason Barkley cannot recall the 'white guy' is because it was actually a black guy Bird belittled so badley he called him a "white guy" out of brilliant disrespect
Bird was the only player that he didn’t beat. Larry was 6-0 against Jordan. Trash talking Bird knew how to get under his skin.
14:50 You gonna do what you gotto do...what are you going to do? Cry uncle...
Larry Legend is the OG goat
Look at the overall record of mj /bird . Bird wins easy. Only top player mj couldn’t beat .
Easily and got robbed he woulda win his 4th mvp in a row but missed it by 1 vote
The 1986 Celtics were deep and talented. They would have beaten Jordan's dynasty era Bulls hands down! Pippen and Jordan would have gotten their points but we would have killed them in the post. Not one person on the Bulls front could could have guarded Bird, McHale, Parish or Walton.
Larry and Magic are still good friends.
Hi Fellas... the one problem with you "giving it up to Mike over Larry Bird and Magic" is that Larry Bird routinely cooked Michael in his first couple of years. Michael Jordan himself (you can find the video on CZcams) has said the best day of his career was the day Larry Bird retired. He just gave Michael too much trouble. I think if you really look into it, you will find that early on Michael was no match for Larry.
Like the reactions you guys have from GREAT players of yesteryear. While I have Michael Jordan as the GOAT, it should almost be criminal to NOT have Larry Bird in any Top-10 Greatest NBA Players list. Because when you look at the ALL-AROUND game of a player in the NBA (clutch shooter, FT shooter, great rebounder, great passer, very ambidextrous, instantly made teammates better, tremendous hand-eye coordination, and, yes, arguably the greatest trash-talker), I don't know if any player better embodied all those traits like Bird did. Hell, Bird even made the All-NBA Second Defensive Team 3 times!
Speaking of Jordan and Bird, the only team Jordan never beat in the playoffs (when Bird played) was the Boston Celtics. The Celtics always had the Bulls' number when they met in the playoffs, but in defense of Jordan, A) those Bird-led teams were GREAT; B) Jordan didn't yet start his championship run when that happened, because for Jordan's first 6 seasons, he and the Bulls were routinely beaten in the playoffs by the Celtics and/or the Pistons.
Larry Legend IS the greatest all around player ever. His b-ball I.Q was matched by no other.
Larry Bird can make the whole team enter The Zone.
It's crazy how these dudes have the exact same pic of them for every thumbnail😂😂.
Just watching for the shorts.
Larry Bird swept Michael Jordan twice in the playoffs. 1986 and 1987
Now there's CZcams. With plenty of old fuzzy games. There's no excuse about not watching him play. So just sux it up, deal with the fuzziness and watch a couple of games.
If you would like to see Larry Bird, completely examined, please check out "Making The Case - Larry Bird". It brings up a lot of facts not normally addressed. Watch it, even if you don't review it. I grew up watching Larry Legend and I was Amazed. BTW, if I was 40 y.o. I would be offended by your remark at (0:28). I'm 60 y.o.
Not saying Bird was the goat, that will always be MJ to me! But this is how I measure a goat:
1. Does things you’ve never seen
2. Does the fundamentals with ease
3. Has their own style, which is recognizable
4. Is clutch is important situations
5. Praised by their peers
6. Toughness, plays hurt, sick, etc
Great Video fellas!
Check out Larry birds best fights
Individually, Jordan was a better player. But Bird was a better TEAM player. He knew how to utilize all the tools in the toolbox whereas Jordan was an amazing athlete and relied solely on his own talents. Jordan got better as a team player as his career progressed, but that is the reason Jordan and the Bulls could not beat Larry and the Celtics. Larry was an outstanding teammate - Jordan was an outstanding player.
As you go down this rabbit hole you are going to learn one fact! BIRD IS THE GOAT!!!
Pat Riley said and I quote
" If I had to pick a player to shoot for a win I would pick Michael Jordan, if I had to pick a player to shoot to save my life I would pick Larry Bird"....
Listen to McHale stories about the Celtics being stuck in am airport
Oh you gotta check out the 92 Dreamteam documentary @dreamteamNeil
Great reaction.
Dude had so many game winning shots. Ill take Bird any day over show off dunking #23.
Larry Legend 🏀
Players today have every scientific edge possible and there's still is not one player that matches Michael Jordan or Larry Bird and what they could have accomplish on the court
u2 funny great job!
Awesome video. Love the energy!
He was bored with the game. He wanted it more close. And he was the greatest 2 minute player
the original video shows the dr j - bird fight
