Magic is why I am a Laker fan for life, Magic/Bird are intertwined cannot mention one with out the other, mad respect for Bird and that Celtic team, I am glad I was able to watch both
Magic was the "lion" of the NBA, a powerful, skilled "pack hunter" who could pass to almost anyone at any time while still able to end his prey with his own strikes.
MJ was the "cheetah" of the NBA, a quick, sleek, agile 'predator" that took his shots and passes like he was hunting .. on the move without slowing down.
Bird was the "tiger" of the NBA. Not the fastest, not the strongest, but had the ability to literally "hide in plain sight" and strike at anytime, from anywhere, with a ruthless tenacity to stay into the fight as long as possible until the final second.
never seen it stated that way before ...... but i like the comparison
Zaza pachulia was like the sloth, slow, contempt, and ready to fall asleep (on defense) at any time
You watch too much national geographic my guy.
original 🤙🏾👌🏾
this is amazing breakdown ... I always said Kobe was like a ninja and Jordan was like a samurai
I am from L.A. and it was so exciting to be a Laker fan in the 80's. Showtime! I still think Magic is the greatest, he was poetry to watch, but the whole team was fire, and when they played the Celtics in all those Championship series you were on the edge of your seat. We were spoiled! And shout out to Kurt Rambis as a phenomenal rebounder! Nowadays I'm always yelling at the tv that nobody is under the basket to grab a rebound!
The Lakers in the 80s were spectacular. Loved watching the Dream Team dominate with the fast break-especially against the Celtics! Shoutout to the phenomenal commentator Chick Hearns!
I was on the Celtic side and loved it. couldnt wait for those 2 regular season games
2022 offensive rebounding is extinct.
@@picolo4102 Very, very true. They played each other once a year at The Boston Garden and The Fabulous Forum. Those regular season games? I always circled my calendar and made sure nothing was going on but to watch those games. Took the phone off the hook and had my B-Ball buddies come over to witness the greatness! Those battles were like The Finals. A lot of great games!
I’m going with Magic ! 🔥 I watched every Lakers game in the 80’s , it was truly a magical time !
Ditto. My family taped almost all of the playoff games. The VHS's are in storage LOL
Magic's my point guard in my all time starting five.
great reactions to both bird and magic they both top 10 put them at whatever number you want but they there forever
Magic would dominate today. He wouldn't be a "point guard" he'd be a power forward today that plays like Jokic, but faster. He would be one, if not the best players in the league today.
Such an amazing player
White Chocolate Jason Williams is another mixtape you should check out. Jordan Kilganon is a pro dunker I think you guys would like. Also, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird trash talk videos. BOOMER SOONER!!!
You're comparing disparate entities...
@@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO I'm not comparing anything. I'm suggesting videos for them to check out.
Magic is the G.O.A.T most exciting player to watch. He won a ring in his rookie year and played all 5 positions in that game. won 5 rings in 12 years
Love your channel Cartier Family!
I've been a Lakers fan since 1972 as a 10-year-old in Los Angeles. Magic never took the "me" attitude as Jordan, Dominique, or the other individual star players did. He relished helping the team be the best they could be by feeding them the ball as a point guard should do.
I remember back in the 80s going to The Forum in LA when you could score PLAYOFF tickets just prior to the game for under $50 at a time. We just waited until after tip-off time when the prices would just drop like the stock market. I remember scoring seats just behind the Lakers' goal in the first half. IT WAS AWESOME! Watching Magic leading the fast break toward the basket. You could feel the thunder coming down the floor as they approached the basket. I saw Magic's eyes surveying the court. Worthy on the right wing, and Byron Scott on the left...Magic fed the ball to B and I could see B's eyes just light up when he got the ball and then slammed it home for a score.
Amazing experience!
React to Michael Jordan historic mixtape
love watching you guys, peace my brothas
Magic was so smooth. One of the most entertaining athletes ever.
You're right Magic stayed positive.
Magic is my guy. As a life long Laker fan nobody is above Magic as a Laker. I used to practice trying to make the Magic passes and the 360 spins. Magic made the assist and great pass something we wanted to do. Before that it was all about scoring. Magic and Bird really changed the game. They taught us team play and winning before scoring.
Kareem is above Magic.
@@ronlackey2689 as a Laker? No.
@@Lokahi-fo-life We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Even though Kareem is the all time leader in scoring, he is still vastly underrated. He wasn't flashy, he was just there through thick and thin and solid as granite for 20 years. Toss in that he was a 6x World Champion and a 6x MVP for the cherry on top.
@@ronlackey2689 like I said, As a Laker? Kareem had 5 championships and 3 regular season MVPs and 1 Finals MVPs as a Laker. Magic had 5 championships and 3 regular season MVPs and 3 Finals MVPs. I’ve been a Laker fan since the early 70’s and as a kid I did book reports on Kareem. He was my favorite Laker, until Magic came along. Lakers hadn’t won a championship since 72, until Magic came along. Kareem was on the downside of his career by the time Magic came along. Kareem was still a great player, he was just getting older. Kareem played extra years, because his financial advisor stole from him. Otherwise he probably retires around the 86-88 seasons, yes the years they went back to back. By then Kareem was more of a role player, Worthy and Magic were the two carrying the load. To repeat, I said greatest Laker. Career, it’s Kareem. The years in Milwaukee and the first four in LA he put up crazy numbers, but only one championship to show for it. Btw, Milwaukee brought in Oscar Robinson to go with Kareem to win that title in 71. Until Magic, Oscar was the best point guard in NBA history. If you still want to disagree I have no problem, everyone has an opinion. I just want to say, You stayed non Laker stats for your side, when my original statement was greatest Laker.
@@Lokahi-fo-life I still want to disagree, thanks. My question is, what team will Kareem forever be identified with? The Lakers. He didn't spend his whole career there like Magic did, but he is a Laker. If you are going to use Magic's whole body of work you have to use Kareem's whole body of work. They are both the best at their position, and I am ok with you saying Magic is the best Laker. I'll stick with the all time scoring champ Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Love it! can you do the Michael Jordan ultimate mixtape next
They avoid it like the plague
They are examples of greatness
Showtime! In full effect ☺️
So cool yall do all genres of all pop culture.
The difference between a bird and Magic is the Birds ability to shoot from anywhere on the court. If you compared the two highlight reels. They both are great at passing and and scoring. But the difference is the way they score. Magic scores on close to the basket shot like dunks, layup’s and hook shots. Bird does all that to in his highlight reel but also shoots from anywhere on the court. There is your difference between the two. For that reason Bird is higher on my list than Magic. Both HOF though.
Magic was a better passer. Not even a question. Larry could pass too but Magic was a floor general.
I don't think you can discount the fact that Magic was more durable and reliable than Bird. Bird was great, but he couldn't stay healthy throughout his career. Also, Bird is not playing PG, SG, SF, PF and C in a game like Magic could. Magic could play any position. Scoring is scoring... I don't care if it's an outside shot or a layup. To put more stake in one over the other creates implicit bias.
Very good point RbSteve.
@@whitewolf288 they had the same passing iq and ability but magic body was quicker and faster and gave him more opportunities to pass like what u were saying in the open floor. Bird was a way better shooter and shot creator, both had their careers cut far too short
@@lordsho8639 he hustled more, dove for bar more, etc. same reason y Kobe struggled his last few seasons that hustle takes a huge toll on the body. Both in their prime magic and Larry is extremely close
80s NBA basketball was lit. You had to be there to understand it. Almost every team had a superstar. I was watching that game on tv when Magic hit that full court shot. It had to of been '86-'87. I was 8-9 years old back then. That shot made me a lifelong Laker and Magic fan.
nobody brings up that Bird and Magic both retired early too. They didnt even have full NBA careers... I think they both played 13-14 seasons ... they left at least 7 seasons on the table and still have records people cant touch
Exactly y people shouldn’t use all time stat totals as the only criteria when ranking players
Magic was so electric, so smooth, and had such incredible court vision, he played a game we haven’t really seen since. An all-time great.
Magic Johnson could win you a game without scoring a point, I truly believe that. Great reaction nice to see the younger generation showing respect the legends of the game.
I would love to see yall react to Magic and Bird A Courtship of Rivals. It's the best documentary ever.
Please react to some Kobe highlights!! Or even the last 3 minutes of his final game. Gives me goosebumps every time
I went to the same highschool as magic Johnson in Lansing Michigan I've followed his career my whole life . He's one of the best ever
My top two basketball players in the NBA Larry Legend bird and Magic Johnson are the legend power forward Magic Johnson point guard
Thanks for another presentation. I enjoyed it.
If you haven't already, you might get a kick out of the AFL, Australian Rules Football League. No helmets, no pads, no bullshit.
Basketball is my favorite sport to watch on tv. Football is my favorite sport to watch in person. And baseball is my favorite sport to play.
These mix tapes are great and I can remember most of these games seeing them on TV here in Los Angeles at the time on CH 9 with the great Chick Hearn behind the mic, or at The Fabulous Forum live. I wish you guys could know what each game meant and where some of these spectacular plays came from. Some were last-second buzzer beaters, or simply a regular season game that didn't have a whole lot of importance...But a lot of them? Surely did! The go-ahead hook shot in the 1985 Finals against The Celtics, or his performance in the 1979 Finals against Dr. J and the 76ers when Kareem went down with that ankle injury, the treacherous 1988 season to repeat as NBA champions.
Each playoff series in 1988 took all the 7 game series to their limits. The first round against the Spurs was pretty easy sweeping them 3-0, but the following series went all the way beating a very tough Utah Jazz team in 7 games, then the Dallas Mavericks in another hard fought 7 game series, only to earn the right to play The "Bad Boy" Pistons and taking the NBA championship in another brutal 7 game series. It was exhausting witnessing each series for this Lakers fan since 1972, but for them? I can't imagine what it took to overcome the odds. Each of those 7 game series could have gone to either team if it weren't for the tenacity of the Lakers squad who would eventually win it all that year.
It's one thing to honor a player for his shooting or playing skills, but how about when it really counted? Buzzer beaters, elimination games in the playoffs, games to win the division, etc. Did his efforts lead to an NBA title or an individual accolade?
The reason I fell in love with the sport in 1979. To watch a 6'9 cat run like a thoroughbred with ball in his hand was magical. His vision was bionic. Not even Frank Lucas snitches dropped dimes like this hardwood American gangster. He made the NBA "Fantastic" with the flashy game. He didn't devise super-teams, he created Showtime!
I've said is in other reactions about who's the GOAT. Here's how I personally see it. Being 59 years old and having watched the game, rules and so forth evolve, I love having the discussion with someone claiming their man is the GOAT. Truth is that there will never be a greatest of "all" time. Each generation has and always will have a select few that are the greats. As physical conditioning, medicines, rules and other things change, the athletes also change. A perfect example is when I hear LJ fans claim he is "THE GOAT", is that as physical as the game was back in the early days he wouldn't survive. Bird could most likely play better during this era than LeBron in Birds era.
Bill Russell
Great point however, you did something that is inevitable. You stated it is not possible to compare the eras but ended by comparing the eras. We’re built to compare, which is what makes these arguments interesting but also never-ending
The 6'9" 280 LB best athlete of all Time wouldnt survive physicality 😭 ok skip
Modern defenders are better. Some teams would intentionally foul sometimes, but on a play to play basis, the defense was nothing special back then
If they saw someone lebron's size running PG & then pulling up from Steph range the whole league would've retired immediately. The skill is on a different level now
@@emmanueloppong9778 I understand what you're saying but it wasn't my intention really. It was more a reference to how much more physical play was years back. Many current players would struggle if it was still allowed.
@@Prozak63 Oh no question!!
Poetry in motion.
Greatest PG ever😍😍😍
PLEASE watch the lost dream team scrimmage for the olympics when these GOATS played.
Magic and Larry are on another level than anyone playing right now. They were legends. 2 Generational players that came up at the same time.
They made each other great.
Football is the greatest sport! Magic was a great Basketball player.
I had those Magic Converse. Loved the video
Literally the best times of basketball. I'm old. lol
The family member donning the University of Oklahoma Sooners apparel obviously got this ‘82 Sooner grad to subscribe plus the whole groups reactions are good especially when you did Bobby doing Unchained Melody classic reaction.
Magic is the type of player who would dominate today's game even though he can't shoot consistently. He's very much the "Greek Freak" we see in Giannis but back in the 80's. Greatest PG to ever play the game and undisputedly the best passer in basketball history (but I still must give respect to Pistol Pete as a runner up for that title).
I’m old enough to watch both Magic & Bird play. The finals games got 24-27 million viewers per.
Much love for the Magic Man, my favorite player growing up. Bird is my guy though today
SHOWTIME!!
Yall should do video of DWade career highlights.
Magic is the greatest player in Michigan State history. There's a statue of him in front of the Breslin Center.
My junior high played against magic and my high school played him too back in Lansing Michigan. He was a 6 ' 5" guard in junior high.
Loved it when dude said "I ain't trying to hear what Isaiah has to say" 😂
The debate at the end was entertaining as hell 😂 "You sleepin' on Ginobli"
Yall gotta react to the jordan mixtape too👍🏽
You guys should do a Dean Wade highlight reaction next 🔥
Magic and Bird such visionary’s
Y’all gotta do that MJ mixtape
Yeah I can't wait for these dudes to watch White Chocolate
Have y’all done the 88 nba dunk contest? Nique vs Jordan? The full contest tho.
I better see some Jason Williams WHITE CHOCOLATE with all these basketball reactions :D
appreciate y'all given the OGs Bird and Magic the look. Keep the respect on they name tho.....
As a little kid in L.A. in the 70's I used to watch Wilt Chamberlain play pickup beach volleyball down in Santa Monica beach and would see him drive around town in his White Bentley convertible sports car...he looked like he was driving a kiddie go cart!
Brandon uses his head with these nba debates you gotta have achievements man
As a teenager and early 20-something watching the Lakers-Celtics Finals, I never thought I'd see the day when Magic would be "underrated." But here we are. Bird gets and deserves a ton of respect on CZcams. I freaking love the guy. I'm not convinced Magic does, though. The guy was an absolute force of nature, putting on a show while carving everyone up. Don't let the smile fool you...he was ice cold and wanted to win more than anyone. Just a ridiculous all round player who made every teammate so much better.
Let’s see a Isiah Thomas reaction.
He’s under appreciated as one of the greats
Agreed!
Isaiah was a bush player. Dirty.
Don't know why this video made me think of it, but y'all need to get on that KXNG Crooked - Schea Cotton joint
Jason Williams. You're welcome.
Someone in the league once said that Magic made a easy pass like hard, and Bird made a hard pass look easy! But I do this Magic put a little extra razzle dazzle in his passes! Legs kicking and Arms flying around like he's swatting at bees when he passes! Razzle Dazzle!
Magic said Larry Bird was *only* player he feared during his career. Used to keep him up at night before the game the next day.
My fav player magic Johnson I didn't know what basketball was into I saw gold laker jerseys or green Celtics jerseys in the 80s
Love Magic and Bird the same because Magic wouldn't want you to love him without loving Bird and Bird wouldn't want you to love him without loving Magic! That's because they were friends til the end!
Looks like y'all are enjoying the video. Nothing better than kicking it with the Homies watching Sports!!! 10:04 I was on a date with a Fine Girl. We were at a Pizza Shop at the Beach and I think we were the only two Black People. Magic hit that Big Hook in the Clutch!!! HE77 YEAH!!!
Those were the days.....Larry's Celtics against Magic's Lakers in the '80s....nothin' like it!
And Magic's last all star game in '93....you couldn't write a better fairytale!
Magic & Bird. i grew up in this shit as a kid. id visit my dad in boston during the summers. i wish i still had a pin that said, " piss on Jack, Hollywood and the Lakers". i was like 5 at the time.
Thank God he didn't die. That was a hard day I was 15 when my idol got sick!
Magic is the greatest PG of all time, no debate.
Baseball has the best feeling in sports tho plus I love all the old ballparks you can dive rob a hr throw ppl out basketballs hella artistic too tho I love all of them but I’m a cfer so ya know
Larry and Magic both said the other was better.
The Lakers in the 80's might have been the best fast break squad of all time. They all truly shinned and were great in fast break transition Bball.
A couple things to consider, Magic was a point guard, while Larry a small forward, but could still affect the flow of the game with his play making. This mix tape focuses on his highest strength, his passing and some shooting. Larry was a better shooter and re-bounder and right with Magic in passing, not as flashy. Take a look at just Larry's passing, you mentioned Tom Brady, that label fits Larry to a tee. Watch.......
"Larry Bird Greatest Passer of All Time (Re-edit w/ New Footage)" to expand your knowledge of Bird's all around game.
You should watch the HBO doc - Magic & Bird - Courtship of rivals. They battled each other since college and became good friends.
Need to watch Earl Campbell highlights
You guys need to watch Shawn Kemp highlights!
If anyone is wondering what what the soundtrack used in the montage,
It’s called:
Titanic Challenge- Veigar Margeirsson
Legends roamed the NBA courts in the 80's.
Do a Kobe mixtape next
Magic and Bird saved the NBA. Jordan changed it.....
Such a true statement
Fly Bird!!!!!
You guys need to watch the bulls mixtape
Yo boi tweekin' bout Ginobli!! He better watch some film cuz!! 😆
Magic is a 6’9 Point God , he can literally play all five positions in basketball . If he didn’t have to retire early he could have been the real MJ
When Magic and the Lakers hit the court They called it showtime!
Do Tracy McGrady highlights and Jason Williams
WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU GUYS REACT TO "WHITE CHOCOLATE" JASON WILLIAMS BEST OF VIDEO...
It's very ok to make a mistake. You corrected it. Great job.
That's back when basketball was great!
I would suggest watching a Vince Carter mixtape.
Video #21 requesting Dance With The Devil by Immortal Technique
Winning the NCAA championship with Michigan State, going to the Lakers, winning in the NBA championship! Has not been done in a long time with a caliber player such as magic was.
Talking about great passers you should check out Pistol Pete Maravich. Pistol Pete inspired Magic to pass the way he did.
You should react to the Dream Team documentary
Do Dominique greatest plays
