Towards the end you hit on something. Bird and Magic saved the NBA with their battles, but eventually became the best of friends. You should watch the documentary "The Courtship of Rivals"
Absolutely! I'd watch it again with you!
Okay I have seen the documentary and it is a beautiful thing I don't know why I am an old lady from Canada and I'm not a basketball fan I am a MMA fan and I love Larry Bird he is a freaking Legend and my favorite story of all time was when he was getting upset and muttering under his breath of the game and Charles Barkley as to what was the problem and he said you guys are disrespectful he said like what do you mean he said you're putting white guys on me❤❤ he knew there was levels to this shit❤❤
You missed the commentary, he came back into game with a fractured right cheek, double vision and a concussion, never any pain killers for Larry, they still couldn’t stop him
everybody always talks at that specific part in these videos not hearing what they say.. it irks the hell out of me.. it's important to hear so you hear what kind of player he was in that aspect.
Larry won 2/3s of the MVP votes in the 80’s.
If you want to see what a warrior Bird was, watch these two videos :
“5 Times Larry Bird Was Injured but Refused to Quit”
And
“4 Crazy Stories that Prove Larry Bird is the Toughest Player in NBA History”
Gotcha
Guess I'd better sub then, lol
Larry Bird missed 13 games combined in his first 8 seasons.
Magic & Larry, resurrected the game of basketball...My dad loved basketball, but stopped watching, until the competition between Johnson & Bird was highlighted...What my Dad used to say, about Larry's game, is that it reminded him of someone, who wasn't only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, football, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, & what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique & gifted players, I ever watched! *(Great Reaction)* 😊
…. the “ real “ 🐐 !
One of the big things that shows his character is when Magic got Aids pretty much everyone stopped speaking to him and just dipped out being fake followers. But his rival Larry called him and kept up with him seeing how he was doing and encouraging him he could make it through it. That's where they really became friends forever, Larry will always be the true heart of basketball.
Larry Bird is the smartest most clutch player to ever play! He was three steps ahead of everyone on the court. One of the greatest shooters you will ever see. He still is the most complete player i have ever seen. All i have to say is Bird won three straight league mvps in a row, in a league with Jordan in it. And he came in second four other times. I think Bird and Jordan are the two greatest players i have ever seen. Period!
Another quote from Magic's speech at Larry's retirement ceremony ... "Larry told me once that, when he was gone there would be another Larry Bird to come along. I'm here to tell you that you're wrong. There will never, ever be another Larry Bird"
Larry had the uncanny ability to know where everyone was on the court at any given time. He was also generous with the ball. He knew the importance of utilizing everyone. I stopped watching basketball after the great matches between the Celtics and the Lakers in the mid 80's because I knew I wouldn't see playing like that again. I kind regret it because I missed the whole Michael Jordan era amongst others but I'm back to watching it again to see who's going to come next.
Bird is the GOAT
You should check out his passing video. And, talk about a warrior, check out this he one about his injuries. He broke his back putting in a driveway for his mom while he was with Boston. He didn’t quit. That’s why he almost always laid in the floor instead of sitting in the bench when he wasn’t in play. That was just to keep his back straight for the game.
There are other videos on Bird and Magics friendship. At the end of the video, at Larrys retirement, Magic was wearing a Celtics tshirt under his Lakers gear!
Magic was wearing a Celtic t-shirt shirt under his warm-up jacket. That's how much respect he has for Bird.
Without Magic, there'd be no Larry. And without Larry, there'd be no Magic.
They made each other better
Larry scored 49 points with a broken back. None of these soft players now will play with a hangnail much less a broken back.
That's a badass right there
MY FIRST TIME WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL BUT YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE INTRODUCED TO A LEGEND!!! LARRY LEGEND
Already became a fan after doing these videos
The real goat!
I was lucky to grow up watching them through the 80's!! Fantastic!
You need to watch the video “5 times Larry played hurt”. Which was practically his whole career!
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
Larry Bird is to basketball like Secretariat was to horse racing. They had the heart of a Champion and a little bit of something only they had. I can watch the same thing over and over and still be just as amazed. So many said Larry was slow. Secretariat came out of the gate in last place almost every race and would soar past the others like they weren't even there just like Larry. It didn't matter who he was playing against because he was just made different. Basketball was his oxygen.
Omg. I can't believe you said this! Two of my favorite subjects. I challenge all who doubt those two athletes. Gotta get both almost every day. They make me feel warm and fuzzy ❤
For beautiful basketball like you’ve never seen, check out the 1992 Dream Team documentary! 11 future Hall of Famers! Back then, we were glued to our TVs whenever they played. I still love to watch it. Last time Larry and Magic played
Great reaction! Magic, and Bird both realized that they made EACH OTHER better!
I think you’d enjoy “Bird and Magic: A Courtship of Rivals”. Probably the best sports documentary ever.
Larry Legend 🏀...played with a broken back... for the last 6 years of his career
Think of jordan as bruce lee. Bruce lee may be the goat of fighters but chuck norris is on a whole other realm. Even if you are the goat though there are those who are an anomaly which can make even the goat sweat. They stand out as giants among men. Sharks among minnows. Legends. Larry Bird is one of those legends. One of the few who has consistent wins on the goat despite insane efforts on his part. That is what made larry so special. He was one of the few people that jordan had to admit he learned a lot from bird whether it be sharing the ball, playing with a high iq, or just straight up carrying out psychological warfare with everyone he played against. Even the coaches were not immune to larry bird getting in their heads. That is one advantage the celtics feasted on in many occasions. You could only assume you knew what bird was gonna do next and if you were even just the littlest bit off you would lose big. That is what made larry bird a legend. That is what makes larry bird the chuck norris of basketball simply because his playstyle is a legend that once you see you know you are seeing something different from most other players.
you have to watch 5 times larry bird was injured and refused to quit, 4 crazy stories to prove larry bird was toughest in the nba. its just nuts what that man played through.
he eats and writes left handed
GOAT
players today DONT play hurt
GOAT? Bird? MJ? Flip a coin. (But I'd take Larry)
I've always said if I had my pick of one player to start a franchise with, it'd be Larry Legend. Celtics won 29 games, drafted Larry and got ML Carr, and won 61 games Larry's rookie year and I'll just say ML Carr was never the difference-maker, so....
You should react to the two videos of Bird's 4 injuries and 5 injuries. Mind blowing. Also sophomore year in high school his coach said he broke his ankle in two places and tore all of the ligaments. Still showed up to each practice doing what he could as he could. Started working on his left hand shots. Just amazing.
One of the many things I love about Larry Bird is his dedication to basketball and his dedication to the Boston Celtics I don't know any specifics but my guess would be they probably were at their best while he was a teammate😮😮❤❤❤❤
Stay safe and God bless always man,a new follower from the Phillipines
Appreciate the love and shout outs the Phillipines
Enjoyed your reaction.
To hear FOOLS say he couldn't play today. He is more athletic than anyone gives him credit for. If Luka and Jokic can dominate how good would bird be? He would score at least 35 a night.
Bro, you gotta watch Bird - Magic, A Courtship of Rivals
Larry and magic have been best friends for 40 years!!!
“Look at that crowd”
That steal was actually the final seconds of the 1987 ECF game 5 with the series tied 2-2. Game 3 of that series was the famous Bird vs Laimbeer fight, and then earlier in this game 5 was the same game where Robert Parish got revenge on Laimbeer by dropping him to the floor with some karate to the face. Best part was, the refs didn’t even call a foul.
😆👍
nice comments ..
larry and magic are great talents and brought the nba fans across AMERICA together and increased the NBA to what it is today.....
Other greats along with them helped to also.

Bird was, arguably, the greatest all-around basketball player of all time. He could pass, drive to the basket, shoot 3s, defend... you name it. Sure, other players could do one of them better than Bird, but do ALL of them as well? No.
We'll never see basketball like this again, they fought for their points they didnt just stand outside the line and shoot as many threes as possible - if you watch enough Celtics games from the 80's with other great teams from the era many of those games were literally dog fights.
Bird vs Magic was just... magic. As you say, downright dogfights between two great players.
Jordans the Goat, but Birds my favorite player. Ill take Birds highlight videos over Jordans because with Birds, you get every skill but running and jumping.
Larry and Magic finally got to play together on the 1992 Dream Team in the Olympics. Larry had 3 rings, 3 MVPs, 2 Finals MVPs and 3 three point shooting contest wins.
If you haven't seen the college Goat look at Pete Maravich. 44.2 ppg no 3 point line and only played 3 years!!!
And you know what I hear so many people trash-talking players from back in the day saying oh they couldn't make it in today's game and that's bulshit it's today's players couldn't have made it back in the day because it was very very very very very physical😂😂😂
Greatest passes video check it out 😮
To be fair, Larry missed sometimes.
Something in the realm of 50% of 2 pointers, 60% of his 3s, and 10% of his free throws.
GOAT
