I HAVE DONE LARRY BIRD PASSING HIGHLIGHTS REACTION, LARRY BIRD REACTION NEW OR LARRY BIRD GREATEST PASSES REACTION! - Sport
I think it actually was Charles Barkley who once said that the only reason why Larry Bird was not so athletic, was God's way to keep the balance in the universe.
to true!!!!!!
Can you imagine if bird could run faster and jump higher than anyone on the court who would have average 50 or 60 a game? I think he was still the most entertaining player that's ever played
I am kinda glad he wasnt that athletic, physically gifted are not as likely use there brains to there fullest. Bird was feared because you couldn't really explain why you just got beat so bad, with Jordan, koby, Shaq and a lot of other greats it would be obvious and done with a little flair.
@@tonyduncan7710no doubt .....I agree.
I thought he said he made bird that way so it would be fair
Larry had the greatest game awareness of anyone ever, without looking he knew where every player was. There is a reason he is called Larry Legend and still the GOAT in my eyes.
Larry Bird my father smallest ball player that ever played call the shotsImade it like he did give me a player in today's game that comes close to what he does 0😮😢 that's why they call him the legend
Here for Larry Bird , best small forward of all time
I was going to give you a thumb but I don't want to ruin 33 and make it 34. Here's one that won't change that number. 👍
It looks like you get one for real now because someone already made it 34. It wasn't me but I'll make it 35.
Only Dr J, LeBron and Dominique come close.
No contest
I watched Larry and the Celtics all through his career. We started taping the games because we were constantly saying, what? We couldn't believe the stuff Bird did everytime he got that ball. I still have probably 75 games taped.
Now that's a library to have! I'm jealous! Lol.
Wow you should post those man that would be amazing to watch
I've been thinking about hey, make some copies and give them to some You Tube channels. Heck just make a bunch more for all that might want one. No worries about anything of monetary value. Just sharing with you guys and gals.
Huge fan of the Bird man... his competition with Magic is legendary, but IMHO if you haven't watched the documentary "A Courtship of Rivals", you don't fully understand how their lives intertwined, and what it did for the NBA at the time. I think it can rightly be said that they saved the NBA, and paved the way for so many great superstars who came later. Those of us who were watching the NBA at that time were privileged to watch that Celtic/Laker rivalry unfold, which gave us some of the best moments in NBA history.
Bird playing against rodman in regular season averaged 24.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 6.9 assists. in playoffs Bird averaged 20.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists. rodman's stats against Bird regular season 10.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists, post season 6.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists guess that says it all. No wonder Rodman's jealous
😂😂😂.
Poor Denise. Yes I spelled his name wrong but his proclivity to wear dresses makes me wonder about that. Is this better, Denice?
He's the reason "legend" was invented!! Nevermind that I loved Magic,Kareem, Spud,...Bird just got it done!
Larry legend all day.
No player did it like he did. Many players feared him for a reason, he was unstoppable.
He got stopped by Magic Johnson in three Championship games.
One in college and two in the NBA. 🤷🏾♂️
@@michaelnicholas7746not really. He beat Magic in so many other ways.
I never met Larry Bird, but I went to see him play at the old Garden with my dad and brother. One time we were walking in and my brother says, "Wow, look at all the buttons on that guy's coat!" We looked up, it was Robert Parish. My dad said, "Have a good game, Mr. Parish." The "Chief" was our favorite and we're white! I'm only learning how great Larry was in my old age.
You went to see Boston play and didn't notice Larry's bad@$$ery? How is that possible? Larry is a Legend and you didn't know that he was that good? How on Earth can you explain that? I'm sorry if this is upsetting. I'm not trying to make you mad. I'd just like to understand.
@@donolinger6904I was 9 when he got to the league, and even then I knew Boston was racist. Also, ESPN wasn't a thing and we didn't have cable, so we just got the box scores in the newspaper. I thought it was white hype - Larry got it done - but it wasn't beautiful in the same way Dominique played the game. I'm not too old to learn. I give him so much respect for his love of the game and his rugged grit
@@VeiledVerities Watch "The Most Beautiful Game."
Larry was the conductor of the Boston Celtics , without Larry in the game they were toast. Everyone on that team will tell you the same. Period 🩸
You don't have to mention you're old. It was quite evident when you said you were Parish fans, but white :)
I'm a white Kobe and Jordan fan. Surprisingly, I'm becoming a Jokic fan in my old age. He is white that Jokic boy.
I love how Rich knows the old legends that the young kids ain’t never heard of
I grew up in SoCal. So I was a huge Magic and the Showtime Lakers fan. I love Kareem before Magic joined the team., and was stoked to see him in Airplane the movie! I remember watching Larry play against the Lakers; he made it all look so easy and fun, that I’d accidentally cheer for him after amazing shots! Lol! My Dad said, “hey, he’s not on our team! And I answered, “I know, but he’s just so good, it’s fun to watch him play.” My dad just chuckled and mumbled that wasn’t wrong. Then I’d ask why he wasn’t on our team. 🤣😆 He was phenomenally entertaining, and skilled in his performances
Could you imagine what their combined legacy would look like if those two were on the same squad?
@@adarkwind4712 They’d have swept everyone. I remember my Dad saying that Larry would never leave the Celtics, and being so bummed that he had so much of what Dad called loyalty. 😂
Had season tickets back in 82-84.Celts were incredible. Bird's passes were so fast you sometimes had to go home and watch the highlights to see what happened.
My Man Larry Bryd The BEST EVER
Larry legend
Dear Dennis Rodman, If Bird couldn't play today, what does that say about you? I mean, he kicked your butt like you owed him money.
You’re being disrespectful to a man you’ve never met.
But what you don’t know is during that era the Celtics were still the organization preferred to be the face of the league and Red Auerbach was still very influential in the NBA.
It was a league with two refs on the floor.
The Celtics always played with seven people during games.
WOW still with all the great players telling you how bad Larry Bird was@@michaelnicholas7746. You come out and say that nonsense
Shows how byast and ignorant you are.
Larry Bird torched hid ass. Like he did everyone else. Yeah I'd say this . Rodman sucked badly bitch couldnt pass,shoot,or dribble. Defense and rebound was his job. But couldn't do shit with bird. Was mad cause white man straight schooled his ass.
If ur giving him shit for being disrespectful to a man he's never met, wtf do u think ur doing by tryna downplay Larry's success by claiming he had the refs backing him up? Smh
@@michaelnicholas7746Dennis Rodman made that statement publicly. Therefore, anyone has the right to respond to it. Rodman was the one being disrespectful.
What a thing to say about one of the greatest players ever, and to say it publicly. Not only was it classless, it has to be untrue, as Bird was one of the greatest in his time. Otherwise the same would apply to anyone in Rodman's era.
Larry will always be my GOAT. He played with the highest basketball IQ of any player in the game. He played for the love of the game and sacrificed his body for that love.
These new Larry Bird vids never get old. Great reaction bro.
Larry Legend #33 G.O.A.T.
Larry Legend of course!
Larry Bird My favorite player
Larry Bird was THE greatest ever, period. They ALL feared him! All of them!
I'm here for Larry Bird
To give credence to what Joe Dumars said consider this - in the first 9 years of Bird's career in games Bird played for the Celtics, the Celtics won 534 games and lost 177 games of the 711 total = a win % of 75.1% . I believe this could be the highest win % of any player for a 9 year stretch. Bill Russell's win % was 68%. Magic during the same 9 year stretch was 74.3% = 475 wins and 164 lost games of the 639. And Larry played in the stronger East and never had a teammate as good as Kareem. Bird as a rookie went to a 29 win team and with 1 player change to the roster in ML Carr and a new coach in Bill Fitch, Bird was the main reason Boston won 61 games = a 32 game turnaround = the biggest single season turn around in NBA history. Look at what Bird did at Indiana State = a small school with zero basketball history!!! We all love this game and thank you for sharing this!!
There are many great NBA players and whose to say who the GOAT is.
However, The amount of stories about Bird's trash talking about what he was going to do before doing it and then doing exactly what he said is unmatched by any other player in NBA history.
Larry worked hard, came to play every game and gave 100%, there was no "load management".
Bird's intensify for the game was off the charts.
What isn't told in the Mchale story is that Bird's only 3pt attempt that night was the one he made to win the game.
I am a huge Larry Bird.l fan. I flew to Boston with 2 friends and watched 2 games against the Suns. Of course, Boston won both of them.
LARRY! No doubt.
Larry Legend
Nasty DOMINQE WAS A CLASS ACT!!!
I think I'm going to have 43 tonight.
And that's from my favourite player of all time.
The catch is it was by the third quarter😮😮😮
Bird was everyone's nightmare. Made me a loyal Celtic fan, even today without him. His shadow is brighter than the stars of today.
Larry!! Larry!! Larry!!
Larry Legend 🏀
I graduated high school when Larry played his senior year in college. Being a Hoosier, I followed and cheered for him even though he was in Boston. LB was the man.
Larry was one of the smartest players, and one of the fiercest competitors of all time.
Larry was amazing.❤
Larry was the man and I loved the old Celtics team. Players today could not play with players from the 70s and 80s they played so hard.
Larry Bird..the greatest all around basketball player to ever play
The late 80''s through the early 2000's were the absolute peak years of the NBA.
Larry Bird GOAT!
Hey Larry was the shit! Just check him out . He didn't care how big you were or who you were. He was honest to prove his mind a very big icon in the game . Much bigger than you realize. He stood his ground and planted his feet on it. Thank you very much for this Mike
Larry!!!!
Larry Bird simply the best.
David Robinson was my favorite player in the mid 90s when everyone one else was obsessed with Jordan, Shaq, and Hakeem Olajuwon
Here for the Bird
Larry Larry Larry!
Grew up watching Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics....he is the man!!!
I'm 40, so when I was a little kid I got to watch Larry. He is the reason I have loved basketball my whole life. Larry was different.
Larry Legend!
Family had season tickets to the Celtics and I watched all their home games as a kid. Bird was absolutely insane to watch and I saw so many great games. I cant tell you how many games Bird won at the end with either a clutch shot, an insane assist, a block, or steal or whatever. If you double/tripled covered.. he found the open man... you leave him alone, and he made you pay. Poor shooting night and he would focus on the rest of his game.. My GOAT pick for sure.. saw a lot of amazing talent come into the Garden and walk out humbled...
If you do Bird is the word, 15 minutes of Larry Legend, you'll see Nasty! Lol
Larry's college was playing mine and we heard they had a future all American on their team. During warm ups we tried to guess which black player he was. Well we were wrong. He beat our league champion team and set our arena scoring record. He was a beast! Peace from Northern Michigan.
LARRY. I will watch any video featuring Larry Bird.
This reminds me of an interview magic did when they did the dream team, he told the interviewer that one of the players on the other teams kept letting Bird shoot without trying to stop him. He said he confronted that guy and he didn't listen. He told the interviewer he kept saying that guy was going to have a very long and unhappy day. I always thought that was funny.
I grew up in Boston in the 1980’s, Ive seen bird play, and i feel blessed to actually see some of the greatest players in that awesome era! The Celtics lakers rivalry was the baddest basketball i ever seen. The 86 Celtics was the best basketball team ever…In my slightly biased opinion. Lol. It was a great time to be a basketball fan.
Larry
Larry was unbelievable, he was one of the top ten all around players.
Larry! Larry! Larry! LARRY!!! #1
Bob Gibson of the MLB St Louis Cardinals once told a teammate that was making nice with a first basemen after reaching when he returned to the dugout, “he’s the enemy, don’t make nice with him”. Paraphrased.
Hitters feared standing in the hitters box. They definitely only crowded the plate once!!
Larry Bird all time Great.
The great coach Pat Reilly said “ if I’m gonna pick a player to take a shot to win the game I’ll take Michael Jordan but if I’m gonna pick a player to take a shot to save my life I’m picking Larry Bird” nuff said!!!!!
Larry.
Larry bird and the reason why i like basketball . I am from Indiana basketball is played all the time
Easily a Top 5 All Time Great....Many Greats in the NBA....Only 1 Legend!!!
♥ Larry! ♥
As an after thought i love the stories of kevin trash talking on larrys behalf despite how much larry talked himself
I met Dave. Robinson in a comedy club in San Antonio, Texas. Honestly, a great guy, just very good young man It was his rookie year. 1989
I was born in 82 so I’m old enough to have seen bird play but not really old enough to appreciate it…reactions like yours and some others have alowed me to do that so thank you.
I had a brother who worked tv assistant he got tickets often and had airline pass to go anywhere because i did contract work. I went to 6 Celtics, New Yankees, and New York Giants, I was at Chicago to watch Jordan and Celtics watching him live and the physical and skill happens so fast.
I loved to watch the games then, the players played their hearts out! The game was WAY more physical on the court then. Larry Bird is one of the best all around players ever!!! , in my humble opinion, Loved the Video
LARRY
Larry Legend forever!!! Back in the day, basketball was FUN!!!
☘LARRY LEGEND☘
❤ LARRY, LARRY, LARRY. HE WAS A LEDGEND ..while we were watching him play ,and we are watching the other players recognize him 🎉
The NBA was so much fun to watch back then.
"The Admiral" David Robinson. Flowers for this legend. Funny thing. At a Spurs game I was behind the bench but up a bit. Big Dave had a foul called on him. He was on the bench but it wasn't a technical. It was another player on the floor.
Larry Bird is the best SF ever.
From the opening tip till the clocks last tick. Larry put forth 101% effort to win.
You were watching greatness when you watched the legend
Magic and Bird saved the NBA FACT!🙏🏻🦅🙏🏻
Prime Bird was unstoppable; and he let you know it. It was said Prime MJ made you look slow, Prime Bird made you look stupid
Larry!!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🍸
Larry is one of the top 5 players of all time in my opinion.
Larry fan all his career! Only legend I know that could play any position and didn't have to hug all the shots. He played for the sake of the game.
I met Larry Bird and Boston garden 1986 I shook his hand and he signed my jersey and I still have it hanging❤❤❤ Larry legend
Larry leg end is legion 😂
I was a huge Lakers fan then, 42 forever. Larry was on a different level, he was out there messing with people.
Larry The Goat :)
Larry Legend is the Goat of sport
Larry. Grew up in Massachusetts he gave us hope.
I'm a stagehand and we were putting in an event in the Gardens at one end and Larry came out with a big rack of basketballs and started shooting from half court. We all stopped working to watch....he made 38 shots before he missed one. One of the greats.
LARRY !!!!!!!
Larry. Top 3
Great one!!! I agree with you, sir~ there's nothing better than these old-school games/players. Please keep them coming! There's a couple of videos on YT of Larry's passing highlights I'd love to see you react to~ his passing game is beyond belief (NASTY)!!!
Larry!
The Admiral😎
Larry legend.
This video says it All! RESPECT, He had it All! Ask them All! BUT HE COULD BACK IT UP! THEY CALL IT, A Leader and a WINNER!
A CLUTCH shooter that made him a LEGEND ! Hate him or love him, those who played against him knew,, he could play basketball every night! So fun to watch, even now. Who Else could get the fans to yell, Larry, Larry, Larry all Night?
Best player in the league for a decade MVP three times runner up four times
Exactly. Bird over LeBron and Kobe. Im sorry. Alllll day. I choose Bird.
Yup - Larry 👍
Larry the “GOAT”
