"Jordan made you look slow. Bird made you look stupid." James Worthy
Larry Bird just got his own museum dedicated to him yesterday.
"If I to give the ball to someone to save a game, give it to Michael Jordan. If I had to give the ball to someone to save my life? Give it to Larry Bird." Pat Reilly
Rest in Peace, Bill Walton. 1985-86 was his last healthy year - he won Sixth Man of the Year and helped the C's win a championship.
Aw. I miss Walton. He’s in some of my favorite Bird memories.
You are right when you say Bird doesn't have to do "too much." Of all the greats Bird had the ball in his hands for the least amount of time. He was either catching and shooting or catching and diming all game long. But he also made all of the hustle plays!
Should check out Larry Bird greatest passer of all-time video re-edit.
It didn't matter what they did. They couldn't stop him. And they never knew what he was going to do. He was playing his own game, and they were just trying to keep up.
5:08 Walton and Larry give and go....RIP WALTON!!!
Bird moves around without the ball like crazy. It's hard to stay on him. Best player without the ball ever. Another GOAT category for him.
This “GOAT SZN” for Larry also happens to be the legendary championship run year for the Celtics.
Man, you GOTTA see how the Celtics ran like a Hive Mind based on Bird’s leadership - they. wore. teams. OUT. !
Try these videos :
“Making the Case : 1986 Boston Celtics” ( detailing the season from start to the finals)
~and~
“The 1986 Boston Celtics Tribute : The Beautiful Game” (showing the beautifully synced passing game that was elegant and highly effective - the *whole* team was very much part of it, too … from starters to all the way down the bench, these guys thrived on *winning* not personal accolades)
Bet !
Parish said they played for the name on the front of their jerseys, not the name on the back.
Who was number 44, trying to get himself in the mixtape ( at 25:55 - ??)
THAT, sir is Mr. Danny Ainge. You might know him as the GM for the Celtics (2003-2021). Or as current executive for the Utah Jazz.
* He is the ONLY high schooler to have been named High School All-American in THREE sports ( football, basketball and baseball)
* He is 1 of only 13 athletes to have played professionally for both the MLB and NBA (he played for the Toronto Blue Jays while in college at Brigham Young, as pro baseball didn’t interfere with his basketball scholarship commitments.) - For the Celtics to draft him into the NBA, they fought a court battle and ended up having to buy out his MLB contact from Toronto.
U dropping knowledge off in the comments smash that sub button so I can react and learn more
Are you noticing how many of Larry’s shots are NOTHING BUT NET? 😮❤
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE *TRUE* GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
Alll Larry needs is that white boy bounce. He makes all these Superior athletic players look stupid. Larry Bird is a genius.
GOAT.
And amongst all that, you can see it in this video though not necessarily showcased here, was Bird's rebounding. He's always there. His positioning and blocking out are a thing of beauty.
Robert Parish set some of the greatest picks in the NBA. Steven Adams level. Bird knew how to use them.
It was analog, not digital. Didn't have digital back then. When it was first shot it was really good. This is the film deteriorating. Alot of the games are gone forever, just stats left. We are lucky we have what we have.
Not only that… besides deteriorating films, the image degraded further each time it was transferred to “upgraded” technology. For example : These analog video recordings were broadcast on TV > viewers at home recorded the TV broadcast onto their then-brand-new VHS recorder/players (or BetaMax, which failed to catch on in the long run despite being a better system, but I digress)…
then the folks that had VHS-recorded the games realized THEIR tapes were vulnerable and deteriorating, and besides they’d switched to DVDs and a rewriter/player device to make their own DVDs, so the bought another device that could write(record) old VHS tapes onto DVDs.
So then these folks got PCs that had CD/DVD drives on them so they could watch anything they had on DVD or listen to music CDs.
That soon turned into folks uploading the videos from old analog broadcast sources that had been “recorded onto VHS >played to near extinction> ripped onto first-gen DVDs > played on DVD players in who-knows what state of care again and again > THEN uploaded onto the interwebz (at a time before we had the resolution quality that’s available now…)
You really have to consider how *rapidly* technology has developed and immensely improved in the last 40+ years since these games were recorded !
…. unguardable
A great video to see is "Larry Bird greatest passer re-edit" - youll be amazed
Bird is "Take that for you Chuck"
Just so you know the man tossing those back foot passes was Dennis Johnson
Also Larry Birds Ultimate Mix Tape is a must see
Why are they giving so much space?
For the same reason they give steph so much space today.
Smart shooters know how to move off the ball and make defenders forget about them for a second. They create their own openings.
Even though Larry’s not your GOAT, at least you acknowledge he SHOULD BE in that conversation. That’s fair.
Actually. Larry Legend and Magic Johnson were the first 2 with a shoe deal. MJ took it to another level. Players today owe Larry Legend and Magic a big THANK YOU for the deals they are getting today.
☘️ Larry Legend
Bird made it look easy. His basketball IQ on the court was unreal and he did everything. For me he's the goat and on the All-Time starting 5 forever..
You need to watch Larry's greatest passer re edit. Bird was all over the place he passed slot so if they jumped he passed or shot after they jumped. He could do do many things that he had them guessing what he would lol.
Fuckin Larry never hits the rim!!!!
It's crazy watching some of these offensive sets where all five players are inside the 3-point line bunched up near the lane. In today's game you often see all five players outside the 3-point line.
So many shots that don't touch the rim.
Straight net thoooo
Refreshing new footage- good job
Larry Joe did have a Bird version of Converse, as Magic did and Jordan back in the day.
He’s so open because the person guarding him has. No idea what he’s going to do. If you get close he bors around if you , if you back off he’ll nail it If you double him he’ll hit the open man or shoot it in you face
there's no my goat-your goat. Only one goat- and this vid shows who it is
Everybody always says bird wasn't very athletic. Don't you have to be athletic to pass, dribble, shoot (from all different ranges and with your left hand), dunk, rebound and steal?
He did have his own shoe.
Bird and Magic both had their own shoes.
Bird was unguardable.
f that, Jordan may be the GOAT with his 6 rings perfect finals record but his competition was NOWHERE NEAR the level that Bird was facing.. he BEAT the showtime lakers, an all time top team with TWO top 5 players of all time AND James worthy WITH Pat Riley as Coach..
Two best players ive seen are Bird and JOrdan, but I prefer Birds game.
Your analysis was correct. Just basketball. Not much flash, But he’d kick your ass every time!
Even as you were saying he wasn't the most athletic he made three athletic baskets, lol.
Bird seems to miss the rim nothing but net
You will notice that none of these players are palming the ball. That’s the only way the players of today do it! The refs don’t call
Subbed!!! React to Birds Greatest Passer All Time Re-Edit with new footage video!!!
I don't know if you've seen the vid yet but the basketball legends would rather guard jordon over bird.
Number 44 is Ainge the only three sport all American high school player
Bird did have a shoe
He was the first one to have one
Compare his and Brons stats at 30 years old, Bird was better in every stat
Check this out. At 38 years old Kareem was MVP of the NBA finals. At 40 years old he won ring 6 . when Magic won finals MVP rookie year, Kareem was MVP of the NBA. Media hype. Top 3 all time scoring rebounds and blocks. He might be under rated.
Larry Bird greatest small forward of all time. I have a question for the young folks. How can you look at a few years of NBA and think you have seen the greatest player of 70 years of NBA Totally ridiculous. I have Larry 5th all time. There are only 2 players that qualify for GOAT. Mike and Wilt. Aliens. Both 48 inch vertical. Mike 4.3 40 . Wilt 4.4 . Wilt bench press 500lbs . 7'2" with 7' 11" wingspan. 72 NBA records. Never fouled out of a game in his whole. The year he avg 50 points and 25 rebounds he played all but 6 minutes of the whole season. He got ejected. Too fast. Too strong. Jump to high. Can you imagine a tick slower than Mike and 7'2". Aliens
Mike was a one dimensional scorer. Without the ball he was nothing special.
Bird controlled the game with and without the ball. Two dimensional.
@@hpb5495 Greatest scorer of all time. 10 consecutive scoring titles. Best defensive guard of all time. Only challenger for GOAT is Wilt
GOAT Bird did everything better
