![Larry Bird Reaction!!! Making the Case - Larry Bird Reaction Video! Was Larry Bird The GOAT?! [2021]](/img/tr.png)
If you don't have Bird in your top five, we can't discuss basketball. Great commentary and reaction bro.
Appreciate it sir
I think you're right that Bird is every bit of 6"10 and maybe a little over.
Ya cause I seen a video of him standing next to Patrick Ewing and he's almost jus 1 maybe 2 inches shorter den Patrick and everybody kno Ewing 7ft
"Theres more to basketball than running and jumping." Profound words. Great reaction!
lol im jus speaking truth
Your right best Era of basketball 🏀👍
Thank you for understanding Bird made everyone on the team better. The reason Parish and McHale are in the HOF is Bird. No discredit to both of them but let's be honest. Bird makes any team better just by being on it.
Facts wasn't no big 3 without bird
Thank you Cartiae for giving Larry Legend his props ty 👍☘️🏀
Bird was unstoppable locomotive, no holes in his game,glad i grew up on him watching these games in real life ,💚🐦,the man had a court IQ awareness that was beyond everyone, the man was playing chess ,bird did whatever he had to, to 🏆 win, even if he was on his ass on the hardware he still passing for a bucket, he wasn't selfish and his passing was A+ ,he was better then your favorite movie,or best concert #LB33 💚🐦
Robert Parish never really said anything when he played. He always seemed very stoic and quiet but boy is he one funny guy. I love his laugh and sense of humor.
I heard that Robert Parish was part of the reason why Larry Bird participated in the three-point shooting contests because Robert Parish and possibly Danny Ainge were giving him a hard time that he couldn't win the 3-point contest if he competed.
lol that could be a reason why bird competed he would take things n use it as fuel
The Legend lives on God bless you all!!! Larry Legend
Oh yeah, he's closer to 6'10" than he is 6'9". Look at the comparison when he's standing next to Magic. He's easily an inch taller. One the the greatest assets he had was the ability to shoot and pass over the top of the defense. Very underrated asset. I think I read where Larry wanted to be listed a 6'9", since he wasn't quite 6'10" without shoes, he rounded down. Everyone else rounded up. And with Chief at 7'0" and McHale at 6'10" (with an 8'0" wing span)., the Celtics were giant in the paint. I do have to admit, those earlier matchups, the Celtics were too loaded. When MJ entered the league, his first three years, the Celtics won two out of the three titles.
Yes I jus wish bird would of had 4 chips but hell he got 3 str8 mvps to stake that claim as goat
What people tend to overlook is what Jordan learned from his rocky rookie years. You can see it in his eyes as he tries to figure out how not to end up in the losers circle he was in.
Yes, but as you said, Bird made his whole team better in so many ways. He made Domenique better, he made MJ better, he made Magic better. He made every player with a pair of stones in the league better. These players in particular were highly motivated by Bird to be better. Magic said it himself when talking about their rookie year. magic said OK, Bird is better, so I have to try harder to not let him get too far away. This is what Larry Bird did for not just himself, or his team, but the entire league. He dominated the the best collection of talent the NBA has ever seen, 3 of them goat candidates. MJ went on to have a very impressive career, but he wasn''t playing against 3 of the top 10 players anymore.
@@rogerahier4750 nicely said
Here is how I see larry bird. I consider larry bird to be the chuck norris of basketball. Now a lot of people are goats. Jordan, Bruce Lee, Hendrix, and etc. Then there are those super rare special people that are legendary not because they are masters of one stat but because they have the legendary feat of being skilled in all stats. Those stats are so impressive they create a legend that literally takes on a life of its own. A legend that is so great that people can just look at his ability and question how much of it is real and how much is not. It almost becomes an exaggeration but the more you dig into the legend the more real it seems. Chuck norris is a perfect example of this. To some he is just a normal man but the legends surrounding him are so strong that they build a mystique all its own. Larry bird is a classic example of that legendary status. He is so great that many things at times that he does seem like an exaggeration but as soon as you start getting closer to the truth the more you realize he lives up to the legend. That is why larry bird is the chuck norris of basketball.
I'm from Boston big Celtics Larry Legend fan , but I know greatness when I see it Larry Legend 🐐, Magic 🐐, MJ 🐐 Kobe 🐐
Hey man I'm 62 and was brought up in Kentucky I was groomed for basketball and football bout broke my neck in football in high school and having to quit but my point is little old ladies used to know the stats of Kentucky players my dad always told me how big of a basketball state Kentucky was and it was easy to see. But my father always told me that didn't compete I mean compared to Indiana. Larry Bird is my hero
That's how I feel k Larry Legend, magic and MJ are all great 🐐🐐🐐 ty k you really do know your basketball 🏀🐐 put out some more videos ty 🐐🏀👍
I will definitely thanks for the comment
7:00
That V neck 76ers Jersey Moses has is FN NICE 🧨💥🧨💥
80 to 92 best era ever
I agree with your most emphatically. You have the pulse of the game.
i appreicate that alot i really do
I'm from Indiana and 3 years younger than Larry. But he will always be the best til the day I die.
Thank you for pointing out that Bird helped make them hall of famers. He missed all but 6 games one year and I’m not sure they made the playoffs. Next year they were back in. I’m so tired of that excuse.
It's tiring for sure because people like looking over that fact about bird
In 92, they wanted MJ Magic Larry to be captains. And MJ said no, it's the old guys time. That's called respect
MJ’s greatness came in what he learned from Bird. Lessons he learned very well.
Greatest basketball IQ, greatest shooter 3 defensive teams, three MVPs in a row three-point champ three times in a row the gout
Exactly Cartiae I like MJ 🐐not because he's your favorite when you know you know Larry Legend is my 🐐 and Magic my 🐐 different Era
This is the way to compare great players. Respect for both. And strong analytics. This could have gone the other way too. And Bird is my favorite player.
I watched nba since 1963. I stopped around 2014. The game doesnt interest me now. It isnt bad. If you like it; God bless you. Bird is my favorite player. But, Jordan is the best Ive seen. I was fortunate enough to see Bird live three times and Jordan twice. By the way, he could be talking about regular season games when he said Jordan never beat Magic and Kareem. I really like your channel. All the best.
I never saw this video! How wonderful! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First time watching your videos. I appreciate your honesty and how you see the league for how it was and how it is now. Growing up in the 80,s I had the opportunity to watch so many hall of fame players show case their skills and talent game after game. The league unfortunately will never have so many great players all in one era again. The “no look” or “touch pass” and “over the head behind the back” was invented and mastered in the 80,s. Todays fans are watching a ref determined game to protect the star players to draw in fans and sponsorship, you can’t touch or even look at the ball carrier without a whistle. Back in the day u had 6 player in the paint. Look at todays game. Open lanes all day long. The excitement of great plays is pretty much gone.
Ty for saying that k Dennis Johnson too
Dream team 92 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐The Best Ever🐐🐐🐐🐐
Larry scored both the first and last buckets in the Olympics
Magic to Bird is how those shots were made. I would have loved to see them play together on that college team back in the day.
Definitely agree with you 💯 about the 80s basketball. I was blessed enough to witness these greats.
Never never never 👍🐐🐐🐐🏀
Different styles, similar results. I've been a Larry Fan since I grew up watching these guys play in the 80's. 85/86 High School Season, our entire team had Green and White Air Jordans. Damn I wish I still had those. I have no problem with MJ being considered the GOAT, but when people say Larry doesn't even belong in the top 10, or he couldn't play today, it's just ridiculous. The better the athlete, the worse they look when they bite on a fake.
Facts and bird in this Era would have a dam field day
I love how knowledgeable you are about the players and you not a hater ty
I agree Best Era 🐐
Cartiae Robert Parish is guiet and when he said that don't hold it against the Chief he's a good guy he made me laugh fr
The cuts on the back of birds neck was from diving, overtop chairs, and landing on the back of his neck first saving a ball
I really like your reactions. I also really like this video, too. He shows the greatness of both players in his comparison. It could also be seen as a tribute to both. Parish and McHale have many times stated that Bird made them the players they became. All the best.
Me to k Dream Team 92 🏀 the best ever 🐐
Their def the best all time
The holy trinity of NBA
Larry Bird is the GOAT..
Hey Cartiae thanks for the reaction, respect. This video is just incredible how it shows Michael Jordan being the GOAT Player vs Larry Bird being the GOAT Playmaker. There’s no doubt MJ is the greatest basketball player to ever step on the court. That said, Larry and Magic are arguably the best players you could ever ask for to build your team around. My dream team is MJ, Magic, Bird, Wilt, and Tim Duncan. The only issue is could they all get along well enough to function as a team? Is there such a thing as Too much talent? Maybe the coach would be the deciding factor. Jackson or Riley.
to me the coach that could lead that team is jackson all the work he did from mj pippen to kobe shaq den kobe pau its crazy i think he will be the best coach and i think with bird and magic there with a quiet tim u kno its gone be a good team den u have mj and his mentality every game and wilt as well
To me magic and Larry are the goat, just because they saved professional basketball. Before they enter the league they was playing gun smoke a black and white tv show over the NBA finals on tv
I'm from Cleveland and I'm grateful to Lebron for
the Championship he helped bring to the Cavs.
I can't give the goat title to him, in my opinion players that jump
from team to team like KD and Lebron as well as others
to form super teams in order to win titles can't be considered
the goat. but that does not take away from his greatness.
until I see one of today's player tell the other team
what shot they are going to make, where on the court they
are making it from, without the opposition being able to
stop them, while also never taking games off to rest,
playing the number of minutes per game he played, playing
with broken bones and hurt in numerous ways, be Mr. clutch,
passes like he has eyes in the back of his head, play with
their off hand and score 20 in 3 quarters, shoot from
anywhere on the court, average double digits rebounds,
belong in the 50/40/90 club; which he founded; Bird will
be my Co goat with MJ
Cartiae you never see Larry Legend doing interviews or talking shit about other players, all Larry Legend wanted to do was play Basketball and get the win , he could be out there beating his chest and all that but that wasn't Larry Legend that's not who he was I'm from Boston big Celtics Larry Legend fan my top 5 is Larry Legend, Magic, MJ, Kobe, Paul Pierce 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🏀 they wouldn't be playing this game if it wasn't for Larry Legend and Magic they saved the NBA 2 🐐🐐 MJ the 🐐 ty I really enjoyed that I really did ty fr I can't do Lebron James videos because the reactors are Lebron fans and they make dislike Lebron because of how bias they are, THX for giving Larry Legend his props your like a breath of fresh air and I really appreciate that ty again plus you know basketball 🏀

He never beat Bird ONLY!! Totally agree about Thomas. He's a total worm
You should do 50 greatest passes by bird or a 50 greatest assist his handling of the ball his passing as well unworldly
i def will
I want to see a video about Wilt Chamberlain. My favorite growing up.
I also think that lie bird stands out in every part of the game maybe he is a little slow but regardless of all those things his basketball IQ is the number one basketball IQ of all time that's what makes him better than everyone Michael Jordan yes he could do anything with a basketball but like worthy said bird became even more dangerous without the ball. God I love basketball
15:50
MJ has horns 😆🤣
I love Larry Bird, but something I really respect is even with his level of confidence Bird is always man enough to step up and give credit where it was due -- in this case he gave the credit openly to Michael Jordan as seen in this video. Saying it was God disguised as Michael Jordan is about as high a compliment anyone could give an opposing player - or any player for that matter - and coming from Larry you know its the truth.
That 1988 season is the reason I have Jordan 1. Bird is 2.
I watched both of them and they aren't lying. Mike didn't always stand off to the side, but he mostly did. I like Mike but he had to have the ball in his hands. That's how he dominated. Bird was as good without the ball as with it, maybe even better.
truthfully u right cause of bird shooting ability
@@cartiaeketchupreacts and he was a master at knowing when and where to cut. If you watch some of those old games, keep your eyes on Bird when he doesn't have the ball, how he uses back screens and down screens and everyone who guarded him has the same story, as soon as they would turn their heads they would hear him yelling at them, "hey I'm over here." And he would be out a 3 or had cut toward the basket. That's not to take anything away from Mike, he had his own strengths as well, they were just different strengths.
@@miked5814 no i hear u bird was jus in a class of his own
This guy did a great job of not trashing Jordan. He actually showed the greatness of both Jordan and Bird. It was a good video, but I dont play that Goat game.
If you've never played against Larry Bird....how would you know?! lol I'll take Mike Coopers word for it.... considering he played against both for Years! lol Bird is the Greatest All Around Player ever!!! I've been around for a lot longer than you have kid! lol No one has made MVP 3x in a row since Larry Bird! Not even MJ...lol
Isaiah Thomas was the one absence of the Dream Team.
He keeps on putting Larry Legend in this Isaiah Thomas, did Larry Legend dirty , magic dirty and that's why he wasn't on the Dream team 92 Larry Legend already said MJ, was God disguised as MJ, Larry Legend, magic, and MJ were friends 👍🐐🐐🐐
Parrish is funny. I have to agree, you have to take what Isiah says with a grain of salt. In my observation, Bird couldn't really guard MJ and MJ couldn't guard Bird either (on a 1v1). Bird gets the edge on IQ, off-ball and teamplay, also there was no one else in history that tells opposing players exactly what they're going to do, how they're going to cook you and actually deliver consistently. MJ was my favorite as a kid cuz he was a machine, but when I discovered Bird, he took top spot due to his artistry and skill. I have to agree with Isiah when he said that Bird shot was so smooth it looks like the ball is in the air it seems to be in slow motion with it's own theme song.
Lol tru Isiah been hating mj for so long I don't belive not one word he said
How can you disagree with someone that was ACTUALLY ON THE COURT with both of them!?!?!?
My opinion... you can't be a goat in a team sport because every player on your team contributes to your greatness in one way or another... if the game was a one on one sport..... it would be different - so to me, there are MANY GREAT PLAYERS!!!
MJ is the Goat but Bird was definitely as much of an assassin as MJ was it’s just that MJ was the better defender between the 2! I have Bird as the best small forward over Lebron! He was a beast‼️
ERAVIN AND LARRY WERE AT THE END OF THERE CAREERS. MJ WAS THE NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN.
Bird didn't have the best team he assisted his teammates so they could shine too. Larry never had an ego so big that it got in the way of common sense. Larry played basketball "chess" mentally.
facts he def did
The Celtics it was always the Celtics and Lakers
The interview with Robert "Chief" Parish is because Michael Jordan bullied the players of the (MJ) team so Chief spoke this way
Look for the interview to know the backstory. Because Chief did not ever hear any of the Celtics players bullied another player who belongs to your team where you lead. So, the disrespect of a team leader to others, was essentially the reason Chief said what he said
How many players (today), could come back from major back surgery, double bone spur surgery and a little before that two achilles tendon surgeries to play at the level Larry did against players like Jordan etc. ??!!! Im a little different regarding the GOAT discussions, because with such a crap ton of major talent the NBA had in the 80's I feel its near impossible to pick any one player as THE goat -- but even Bird gave the nod to Jordan as seen here in this video at least in the game they were discussing, so ill say this - if it was between Bird and Jordan id give Jordan the nod on pure athleticism but I just cant draw a line other than that. Both were so good, but in the end prime Jordan and Prime Bird were both GOATS in their own styles and ways, so given that its largely down to whose opinion and stats. If someone said they think its Jordan over Bird (and I love Bird) id have to say who better than Jordan to give the nod to. Both were GOATS in their own right, and history proves it -- and we were blessed to have them both.
The pistons were the dirtest players in the league , listen Larry Legend, MJ and Magic are friends
Larry beat MJ in 91. From 1984-1991 Bird had the head up on MJ. But in 1991 MJ started his run to the greatest ever. Bird and Magic put the league on notice, MJ put it on World stage, but he had to learn from them that you need your teammates to get a ring!
facts
What Isaiah meant when he said he never beat magic and kareem. In 1991 finals when MJ beat the Lakers, Kareem didn't play for them. In 1988, MJ had all star talent around him. Pippin, Grant, and Paxton joined the team in 86. To say MJ didn't have a team and that's why he lost, is ridiculous. And my argument to that is..... Look at the 77-78, 78-79, & 79-80 Celtics. Bird took a 28 win team to a 61 win team his rookie year. No Robert Parrish, Kevin McHale, DJ. All he had was a washed up old player who retired that next year. MJ didn't do that, LeBron didn't do that, there's never been another player do that. Magic can't even say that. Kareem was on his team is rookie year. Nobody mentions one of the greatest team turnarounds in NBA history.
Here's a comment you never hear Larry Bird win his first championship two years in that took Michael 628 I think Michael's was in 92 and he came in the league and 84 so what does that say about Larry Bird
Plz turn up the volume
What's up with the volume Cuz?
I think Cooper is a little overlooked.
Turn yor volume up bro
NO1 & I mean NO1 Ever mentions this 1 player that people have 4GOTTEN over time. LEN BIAS from MD. Played Jordan college for 3YRS & he was 6'7 or 6'8 & He used 2GET the BEST FROM JORDAN.!! If U don't know who I'm talking about GO LOOK HIM UP.!!! The Celtics drafted Bias & on draft Night he tried Coke for the 1ST time & DIED.!!! It was Tragic, So just imagine if Bias would have played & took the pressure off Bird McHale. How many more could they have won. SERIOUSLY HO LOOK UP LEN BIAS IF U DON'T KNOW & U tell me 😂😂 RIP L BIAS
Cartiae remember when Lebron called himself the Goat
Most stupidest thing he ever did
Never I love MJ I'm from Boston big Celtics Larry Legend fan and Magic fan and MJ,
That game where Larry is giving MJ props would never been given in reverse. But the reality is MJ never beat Bird. That’s the end of the story. Jordan will always be second best.
Thomas is mad because Jordan and magic didn't want him on the dream team
I remember, The 80's were lit!, it was a cult, the players were rockstars, the NBA was a phenomenon on the rise. They started the motto "I love this game", MJ became a god in late 80s. Bird and Magic were the marquee players. I remember when the game was great. nowadays is a selfish game where scoring individual highlights are the bread and butter of the league, rather than the hard play, the will, the "heat" during the game. even the all star game was intense. now is a circus, opponents are hugging, laughing and shaking hands all each other like buddies. people don't get it and I understand why, because they never had the chance to see real battles.
the 3pt game has become the killer of the beautiful game. before 3s were only used for last resort now they are the main weapon and it is BORING!
dude you need to turn your microphone up
Robert Parish said what he said because when Robert was on the Bulls Michael got in his face and they had words. Robert lost all respect for Mike after that.
Isaiah Thomas and the Pistons were the dirtest players in the league and he's mad about him not being on the Dream team 92 all 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🏀🐐🐐🐐
In Phil's defense, if they put Scottie on Bird in that overtime game, McHale, with assists from Larry, would probably have taken Horace down low and torn him up too
True. Also in Phil Jacksons defense, Put any other coach in his place ended in the same results.
jordan had scotty pippin in 88. you might not like what Isiah said but it is the truth. besides if you go by Championships to be the goat it would be bill russell who has 13.
What does that even mean Jordan had scotty in 88 df
And by accomplishments as well as all the nuisances yall love to bring up its still mj
@@cartiaeketchupreacts for your generation it may well be. and I think mj is a awesome player and in the top 3. But the best all around player to play the game is Larry. Jordan was swept by Larry twice in the finals. If Jordan couldn't beat Larry .... how can he be the goat? Jordan never played Russell who has 13 titles. You can not in reality claim that Jordan is the best of all time .... the same for me. Both were the best at the time they played. But my Larry even in Jordan's best year when he won every award known to basketball played Larry 4 times that year and lost to Larry 3 out of the 4 times.
My number one is Russell, then Larry, then Jordan and then Magic.
I'll wait LeBron fan's, curry fan's etc....🤣☠🤣☠🤣 im dead CTFU
Zeke said magic and Kareem because Jordan first championship came Vs the lakers Kareem didn’t play he was done
No he was talking about the 80s and in the 80s Jordan never played them to in any finals ever till he went to th4 finals in 91
No he's talking about the 80s when Jordan first came to the league Jordan never played them two in the finals cause their in the western conference while Jordan in the east
@@cartiaeketchupreacts Perhaps Isahaaaaa was just referring to "never beat" as in "had to deal with them"
@@cartiaeketchupreacts Nah, that's not what he was saying. The point he was making was that by the time Jordan did finally end up facing Magic Johnson and the Lakers, Kareem had already retired. So because of that, Mike's Bulls never faced and beat that actual 5-title-winning lineup of players. Meaning that there's an EXTREMELY high likelihood that it's not merely coincidence that Jordan's Bulls only started winning championships AFTER That winning Lakers team was broken up and after Bird was on his way out due to his debilitating injuries. As well as the reality of the advancing ages of players on other teams that would have posed much bigger threats even a short couple of years earlier.
I know what you mean about Zeke, but there is truth to at least some of what he says. Any truly fair minded person, even as undeniably great as Jordan was, has to seriously consider the very real possibility that his great success, in part at the very minimum, may be owed to the luck of timing.
Even with Pippen, he still lost to Bird.
facts
Jordan made noone better , Even in his 63 game , he kept taking shots that he missed with teammates wide open, The win was there for the Bulls but his Ego got in the way, You also have to remember that this was injured back Bird that Jordan couldnt beat. Imagine Prime Bird. In response to your questions about when anyone ever did what Jordan did in 88? The answers is Never. BUT it was also a transition year. Bird still beat MJ all over the place. The Lakers were fragmented, The greats of 80s retired on mass and the greats of the 90s hadnt arrived yet, It was a transitions window . Scoring Title and dunk title can be measured but honestly? the other 4 there was noone else. Bird didnt have 'great Buddies; when he won his first title. The massive thing you are missing, is that the excuse you use for Jordan not winning until Pippen and folks arrived , is the same reason that Bird is greater than Jordan. He MADE his great teammates , He didnt need to 'wait' for others to help him
Not as consistent as Bird
Love your stuff bro
