Bird is the only person in NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, NBA Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year.
Larry bird =GOAT>>(no-i-mean)..lol
I loved Larry, I mean how the furk canât you love the geezer!!
And was in spacejam
They is Why He is Called the Legend!!!!!!
Didnât matter if you had a hand in face brother LFR..he could shoot blind
"if I had to choose one player to take a shot to save the game id pick MJ, if I had to pick one player to take it the shot to save my life I pick Larry Bird"- Pat Reilly
Bird called Magic to check in on him when Magicâs own teammates wouldnât call him.
Actually Magic called Bird first as he wanted to tell him himself. But Larry was asleep and he asked his wife to tell Bird to call him back.........
They believed that they would catch aids through the phone probably, I saw how they acted, I have no respect for anyone who did not check up on him from his team.
Over and over and over Bird told his opponents what the play was and where he was going to shoot from and they still could not stop him. Name another NBA player who did this on such a consistent basis as Larry Bird.
LARRY LEGEND.
Nothing else needs to be said.
Never a truer stament.
No sir
"I am a Lebron fan because he was my son's biggest basketball idol and we run with it". Thats a great dad guys.. he is standing up for his son's wrong choices. Bravo ;)
No, Larry wasn't hurt by such a thing. He was heartsick and scared for his friend. Called him right away. The most reliable version is the two of them telling the story THEMSELVES.
Yes exactly!
Magic called Larry as soon as he was diagnosed. Larry cried when he told him.
Larry said magic was the only man heâd ever loved besides his family.
The story of how their freindship started is one of the best. Larry's mom gave Magic a hug when he came in for lunch during the commercial shoot and she put him at ease. Magic said he saw his own mom when she did that. I can't think of a higher compliment he could have given her.
Courtship of rivals is the GOAT sports documentary. The whole thing is on CZcams and it is required that every bball fan watches it.
Man I miss 80s/90s basketball you had to be tough and have heart to play back then.
Larry Joe Bird was a killer & the definition of clutch. He is the greatest SF of all time.
I remember watching Bird laying in my parent's bed with my dad. My dad is a Cuban immigrant and he loved the Celtics. Great memories with my pops. I was allowed to stay awake as long as he was. If he fell asleep I had to go to bed. My dad long hours to provide for us.
Great to near you give props to your Pops! đđSounds like a great guy.
What was Bird doing in your parent's bed???? He was there with your Dad? Kinky family. :))))
I am a Lakers fan, but Larry was the man! His career was cut short by back injuries. He hurt his back shovelling gravel for his mom's driveway. He was a tough player that played the game the best way.
Bird always played injured, what other legend did that? And still he was the GOAT!
@@susieq6212 I bet Shaq, MJ and Kobe played through many unannounced injuries, but Larry was one of the toughest legends ever, if not THE toughest.
@@Whitesquall123 no other player played though a broken back
â@@Whitesquall123 Shaq? He got lazy after LA won their 2nd title. He got fatter which caused his foot injuries. So no Shaq isn't in their league that way. He just wanted to 75% 80% of his peak. He got away with it I guess because they wouldn't call him for trucking his defender who had been set. I'm talking Shaq did this 7-8 times a game.
Gotta respect the rivalry
From what I remember. Bird was the first man Magic called before going public
The other players couldn't stop Larry even when he told them the play ahead of time. He is the definition of a competitor.
Magic being HIV positive and not telling Bird isn't what hurt Bird. Bird had such respect for Magic and at that time, when one contracted the virus, the general reality was that you got thinner and thinner and died since it was early in the process of how to treat the virus. Bird likened it to his own father committing suicide; a death that traumatized him. He thought at the time that here is going to be another traumatizing death. You want to see what Magic has to say about it, watch the Magic/Bird special produced by HBO; a courtship of rivals or something like that. Magic can't make it through telling the story without being choked up a couple times because Bird DID call him when nobody else would; not even his closest teammates on the Lakers. In my opinion, that was the moment their friendship was cemented for all time. Fast forward and now HIV is manageable and Magic is expected to have a relatively 'normal', long life. And they're still best of friends. It's a remarkable relationship no matter how you cut it.
They did a TV appearance on the David Letterman show that was to hype interest in their PLAY showing in NYC. I know a lot about Bird's past even more because I'm reading his autobiography "Drive". As far as Magic and Bird in the 1980s/1990 I get a kick that the Celtics had a big poster of Magic hung up in their locker room. The bulls eyes were his teeth for points and their nickname for him was "Cheesy".
I'm just adding on to your comment. There is a great book co-written by Bird & Magic titled "When the Game Was Ours" Yes, AIDS was a death sentence but the scandal talk rags (and a lot of others "kindly:) was HOW DID HE GET IT? Also people thought that it was contagious. Take care.
That is probably the best sports documentary I've ever seen. Awesome 90 minutes of tv
@@jameslafontaine198 There is also a documentary about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team produced around 2005(?) that is a must see. People today hear so much about their story and, in my opinion, have lost a feel for how historic that team was. It is a feature about the proverbial 'lightning in a bottle' scenario; a single team that lasted a single 'season' then went away but did the, at the time, impossible. Magic/Bird is more personal and very well done (both by HBO).
@@billyboblillybob344 The fact they weren't eve n pros and lost by DOUBLE DIGITS a few weeks earlier... Nobody would even buy that if it didn't happen.
Magic was HIV positive. He didnt have AIDS.
Yeah and another thing about that though is Magic said Bird was the first of his âfriendsâ to call him after. It took Isaiah long time to call him. Magic appreciates Bird to this day for that!
Larry was there for Magic when a lot of so called friends turned their backs on Magic.
Hearing that news Larry said the only other time he felt that sad was at the passing of his own father
my grandma was his neighbor when he was a kidâŠ. in a town of 300 people.. and i think larry and magic had a special bond because they both lead their teams to a college national championship and then nba championships.. thatâs special
You're right, it wasn't arrogance. He was just THAT good. He was a joy to watch.
That was a Beautiful Era for the NBA! So many Legends on so many teams...
Larry was Respectfully Disrespectful...đ
The BEST era!!
Greatest of all time time WHILE playing in the era of Greats!
He was the SRV of basketball; putting in ridiculous amounts of work to master all the fundamentals... then playing with his skills as he will.
Bryant was also the SRV of the NBA in a way
That's a really fantastic comparison. You nailed it.
I've never been a basketball person but I have been LOVING these Byrd reaction videos!!
I grew up in Mass. Went to many games when Bird was playing. The electricity in Boston Garden nearing playoffs or during playoffs, was literally felt in ur body. When he came out the tunnel in 91', game 5 against Indiana, that was ONE of the most pivotal moments in Boston sports.
If LeBron was in as much constant pain as Larry he woulda retired already. Certainly wouldn't have played
đđŒđđŒđđŒ
Yeah Larry would have played longer if he had the medical system that LeBron has had.
And if Lechina has the physicality of Bird you never hear of him.
I can't trust anyone with 20/20 vision who wears glasses in order to look smart.
Vladpryde I donât know what youâre referring to. Sorry but that went over my head.
Larry and Magic legit didnt like each other for the first few years. Larry hated that he got beat after a perfect season his last year in college. Their first year in the NBA Magic was pissed when Larry got Rookie of the Year when it was his team that won the championship Because they were so good, and so competitive the Lakers and Celtics were playing each other more than anybody else to boost ratings, and they really grew to dislike each other. Until they shot a commercial together at Larry's house. The director had them just shoot around, and have fun. They started relaxing and taking, realized they had a ton in common. Finally at lunch, Magic was walking off to his trailer, and Larry was like "No, my mom is cooking. Come in the house and have some lunch." They've been close friends ever since.
Thatâs an interesting story, I didnât know that!
Wasn't it magic that was wtf about Larry's workout regimen?
@@AA-gz5bf I don't remember. I've seen a few people talk about how unreal his conditioning was, and his work ethic. He was slow, but he never got tired. I remember a story about how he'd go out and run laps or sometimes drills for an hour before the game to intimidate the other team.
Story goes that when Magic walked in Birds mother gave Magic a hug and said that Magic was her favorite player. Obviously trolling her boy.
I am a HUGE Larry fan and believe he is the GOAT! I watch reactions to him on youtube every single night before bed so when this just popped up I got excited since I am a subscriber. I hope ya don't let me down fam.... let's get into this reaction.
I'm a Bad Boy Fan .. Bill Laimbeer pissed Larry off like no other. Loved it ..
I agree, I can't stop Bird watching since my brother sent me a video! I am hooked. Bird GOAT, hands down, has been playing injured since the very beginning. I see people comparing Bird to others at the same age in what they say is their best condition, but Larry was playing with injuries before he was even signed on with the Celtics...now that is a Great! Hands down no player then or now can compete!
Legend has it that bird used to walk into opposing team's arena and ask what's the most points ever scored in here
This didn't even include the 'left handed' game!
He even told Portland that is what he was gonna do. I think he scored 47 that night
Said he was saving his right hand for the Lakers (next game).
That's being cold to two teams at once.
@@whipplefish3259 Only about half opposite hand
47 points (22 left handed)
14 rebounds
11 assists
Yes! Next, please do âLarry Bird Ultimate mix tapeâ and âMaking the Case - Larry Birdâ.
Those really are about the best two Bird videos on here as far as content and quality.
The difference between LeBron and bird.
Bird is on the floor hitting the winning shot.
LeBron is walking off the floor before the game is over.
Bird,(and magic) brought millions of viewers into the NBA.
LeBron Lost millions of viewers.
The NBA lost millions of viewers, don't put that on lebron's shoulders just cause he's kind of a bitch.
He only lost viewers and rub people the wrong way in recent history is because heâs a strong man that people look at that shouldnât be able to speak out the way he speak out and do what he do for people without anyoneâs help so people are terminated by that so people are turned off by that. And believe me I was not a big LeBron fair especially when he chose to take a whole hour to say that he was going to South Beach I thought it was selfish but heâs grown up. Another another thing Magic Johnson is my favorite player of all time and that rivalry during that time I think was the best time in my lifetime of basketball college and NBA well that people donât like LeBron because he speaks his mind
@@evanclealand9231 itâs on the face of the league which is lebron
@@manuelroberts7379 they threw all their eggs in 1 basket because they had no one else, it's not fair to Lebron!
Lebron wants to be in the spot light when he ain't worth used tp
You should see his college highlights before his injuries. PHENOMENAL!
I grew up a bit 76ers fan. We had Dr J, Barkley, Allen Iverson. I hated the Celtics and Bird. The moment I had lots of respect for Bird is when they played the Pacers in the playoffs.. Bird went down it was his last year and he comes back and makes several exciting plays. I knew then it was the end of an era.
Bird got bored on time, decided to a game left handed! True story!!đđđ
Bird was as COLD BLOODED as it gets. LEGEND.â
I grew up watching this Era of NBA basketball. My friends would spend the night and we'd watch Bird, Magic, Clyde, Dominique. It was the best time ever watching basketball. Hard play, hard fouls and trash talking. No drama.
Larry's trash talk wasn't nasty, it was a needle all right, but he backed it up and it wasn't nasty. He just wanted to get in your head and make you aware of him and that he was confident in beating you. Not nasty. Always fun, if you could handle his greatness. A few couldn't.
Great video, love the comments, nice crib, too.
Larry Legend is truly one of the greatest of all time.
Bird top 3 all time. If lebron went through half the pain Bird suffered, he would've retired years ago. Bird's Ultimate Mix Tape should be next!!!
you should check out the documentary about Larry and Magic, it shows how they became friends and are still good friends til today.
By the same token: the one about Bird and Laimbeer and how theyâll likely kill each other if they see each other in person to this day.
The michigan state/indiana state 1979 championship is the highest rated game ever with a Nielsen rating of 24.1
@@bossalini4214 The NBA rating instantly shot up when they entered the league.
LFR meeting Larry Legend is a dream come true!
You are the BEST Bird reaction CZcams guy. You elevate the task by your sincerity and genuine appreciation. Then you throw in your color commentary based on your personal expertise as a coach. Good job.
I don't know for sure where you get your info, but watch the interview with David Letterman. It says Bird was one of the first people Johnson came to with his health issues.
What an amazing, talented man ! You have opened a door for me to watch this great basketball player. Wow ! He could back up everything he said !
Glad you enjoyed it. Very impressive he is.
I don't believe in comparing players of different eras, as we cannot ever see them compete. That being said Larry is my first pick for my all time team. It's not his talent, nor skill but his hustle. That's contagious, teams develop bad habits as well as good habits. Larry was not the slow white boy that can just shoot as he is remembered, sadly. Kobe, Jordan, Bird were clutch ,can't think of any other players that I would put in their class.
More than any other player, in every game Larry would do something(s) that would make you say, DAMN !!! That was unbelievable.
I always knew Bird was good but I never knew just how good he was.
And you still haven't seen his passing!
Larry Bird Best passer re-edit with additional footage. And that video doesn't include ALL that it could.
The story about him going back to the same spot after his 3 was waved off is not exactly true. It's actually more impressive than that. After the timeout he hit a different shot to tie it up. Then in double OT is when he said he was going to the same spot and kick it in. And he did.
That's right he tied it to go into OT. Then hit the winning shot at the end of OT. Some the things Larry did I remember without having to look at videos. The 60 point Atlanta Game has been replayed many times. That night he could have called anything like the Big Mac Commercials with Jordan and the ball would have gone in. The stuff that made him Larry Legend.
Right. So often he made the clutch shots needed before he hit the game winner.
@@kurtsherrick2066 Dominique said that game felt like being inside a video game except..it was real.
Oh, I see what you did there. That was a good set up and reversal you did there. That fooled me and made me laugh.
'It was actually more impressive than that...'
The missed a few stories such as when Rodman was guarding Bird. No matter how glued to Larry Rodman was Larry would yell out âgive me the ball Iâm wide open!â I can only imagine the frenzy Rodman was in.
Believe or not HE did have more to his game!!!!
This dude could pass the ball like nobody's business I swear he had eyes in the back of his head lol!!!
Bird played three quarters left handed and still scored a ton.
Larry walks into an arena and asks one of the local kids, What's the scoring record here? Kid finds out for him, Larry proceeds to break it. Everyone says he was too small, (6-9?), too slow, no defense, can't jump. But he had heart. Like Maravich, he lived, breathed and slept with the game. It wasn't just a job. Never seen anyone use and abuse their body like him. He didn't have to chase loose balls. That's a lot of bulk hitting the floor. He made the game exciting and fun to watch. His trash talking and his ability to absolutely back it up added to that greatly.
I love how Doc hits that old VCR tape rewind sound, lol!
Keep this coming.. I love watching the golden age of basketball. I grew up with that, and seeing someone else reminisce about it makes me happy.
Larry was colder than the dark side of the moon.
LEGEND - hands down.
Great video!! Love all these Legends.
If you haven't seen it. You should check out his "Ultimate mix tape"
Take care â
Van watching this is on my top ten CZcams wish moments!
And then he needs to watch Jordanâs mixtape
Three consecutive MVP's.............nice reaction
And years of second place finishes on either side of those three.
Geez I donât even watch basketball đ but I loved this!
2:36 It was like Babe Ruth calling his shot, but for basketball. Larry is one of the greatest. The hick from french lick.
I watched him growing up & IMHO, what made Bird great was his intuition; Larry Bird knew intuitively whose head he could mess with; he knew intuitively when & where to make the shot; & he trusted his intuition to inform him where his teammate would be standing when he passed the ball. #hejusthadit #thatsmy2cents
You're reason for being a LeBron fan is fantastic. You love your son and support who he loves, great fathering!
You would enjoy the ( Making the Case) on Larry...
Should react to Larry's ultimate mix tape. Awesome. Can see his whole game. Not just a great shooter.
Videos like these remind me how lucky I was to grow up during the 80's getting to watch this NBA!
On that play where Larry tells KC to tell the players to just give him the ball and just get out of the way! KC said he told Larry Bird to shut up that he was the coach! Then called the play. To throw Larry the ball and just get out of the way!! Lol There is a video that shows a sold out Boston gardens on Bird day! A sold out arena and there was no game!
Growing up in the Boston area in the 80âs was something special. I went to a game in 1986 for my 12th birthday. Amazing. In 1987, ML Carr came to my school to do an anti drug presentation. I got to get rebounds for him! You should react to Larry Birdâs ultimate mix tape.
Bird played like a man among boys!
I've watched several of your (and other fans') videos and have to say, you are hands-down the best basketball analyst that I've seen on CZcams. Most fans are, by nature, biased toward the game and players they grew up watching... myself included. You exhibit a great appreciation for basketball as it was played, back in the day, and I appreciate that. You know the game. I wish you could have grown up watching the NBA through the Bird/Magic era, as I did. It was a privilege. Subbed.
Never ever be another Larry Bird. Before his timeđ
HE IS A LEGEND FOR A REASON
I love Xavier McDaniel's Larry Bird story.... it's hilarious
A lot of people don't know his shooting hand was nothing but broken twisted fingers. Only people that were blessed to watch him play in his day how unbelievably bad ass Bitd was.
Larry would play those mind games. đ
The 80s and 90s were the golden age of the NBA. I miss the Celts, Lakers, Pistons, 76ers, Bulls match ups of that era. Totally diff game and diff feeling. It was golden.
P.S. I dig that hat you're wearing in your ad.
Bird passing ability was amazing also
Larry tells the story of how much his mom loved Ervin. Larry was like "Ervin laid his charm on my mother and she ate it up. She loved Ervin." We're talking Ervin at Larry's mom's house in French Lick! Larry and Ervin are still close to this day. I remember that whole health thing and Larry being upset - Magic said when Larry called him "He was in tears." It really tore him up. Magic said that "At a time when a lot of friends were pulling away - Larry not only called him but flew out to be with him too. The coolest thing was that this all went on behind the scenes, on the DL. Many didn't find out 'til after they retired. MJ was in their group too!
Absolutely love your reaction and the honesty. Love it brother.
Have you looked into the 1992 Olympic Dream Team? Bird, Magic, Michael, Barkley, Pippen, Drexler, etc all on the same team in the olympics. Our hearts and minds couldn't take it all in!
Great reaction, dead wrong about the beef between them though. Larry reached out to him and it made them even closer, he described it as the same feeling he had when his father died
Love the way you do a reaction video, you dont talk over the commentary like many others so you learn and enjoy more about the story it makes for a better video and thats why I just subbed. I see so many reactors either mute the audio, put stupid music over the top of it or just yak yak yak through and over the whole damn thing and they miss reacting to so much great story telling. If you havent already I would like to request that you react to a great Celtics/bird video that has some of the greatest passing ever seen from the Celtics, its called: "86 Celtics Tribute, The Beautiful Game" - I promise you wont be disappointed. Great job keep up the good work-!
Thanks for this. Totally enjoyed watching Bird again.
"Larry wasn't real fast and couldn't jump real high, because that was God's way of keeping it fair!"
Larry Legend....GOAT!
My family had season tickets to the Celtics back then. It would get LOUD in the Garden! Super great memories!âźïžđ
I saw Bird get quadruple teamed and still made the shot. If I remember the game I'll post it. And he never, NEVER walked off the court because his teammates were playing lousy
I shared this ,my brother loves Larry.
Much love Van and to all the LFR Family. Dominique is Atlanta royalty. We love him here. Everyone except that snooty French restaurant!
Larry legend is just one of the most underrated players of all times because of obvious reasons. We almost all can agree on it. The man knows basketball no matter what he's a MVP in every facet of boxing he does
Larry Legend is the most underrated HOF in my opinion. I think people overlook him, because he only has 3 titles and, a short 13 year career (which actually makes his numbers more impressive). Not to take from his friend Magic, or teammates Parrish and McHale, but Johnson had the better big 3, and is really the reason he beat Bird more times in the finals.
If Bird's body hadn't fallen apart, his career would've certainly been longer, likely giving him a shot at more titles. Here's one last thing to put Larry Legend in perspective. In the 1987-88' season, with bone spurs in both feet, that led to surgery in the offseason. Bird's season stats were: 29.9 ppg, 52% FG, 92% FT, 9 rpg, 6 apg. Who you know plays like that, with two bad feet?
Magic' own teammates distanced themselves from him. Larry stood by his side.
AC Green never changed. He told Magic before that he was living wrong. He respected AC because he wasn't a hypocrite.
Van when magic came out with that his own teammates went public and guys from other teams and said they wouldn't play with him in case he started bleeding or something , Larry Bird when he saw what they was doing to his good friend Larry went on TV and told everyone I will play with magic he would stand by magic and he meant it and he did it that's what good friends do đâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
He was the best ever!
Larry was the man and he had no problem proving it. He'd be in your face proving it.
Love you Bird. Left-handed game. Calling shots. Fantastic Larry Bird. Number 33 from Indiana.
Another great trash talk story was before the first 3 point shoot out at the all star game where all the best 3 point shooters were gathered in the same room and Bird walked in and said to them all " I hope you guys realize you are all playing for 2nd place because I am winning this thing". He won the shootout then did the same thing the next 2 years as well. Classic Bird
That "follow up" put back was in the NBA Finals!!
I love Bird watching!
That man said "every time we had a chance to win, Larry Bird changed that"... well damn...
MVP 3 years in a row. Not even Mike has ever done that.
Bird played against the gauntlet of anybody who is somebody in NBA history.
