We almost *always* see the action from a higher angle, so a lot of stuff appears far more obvious. Down on the floor, it's gotta be a *lot* harder, given the number of large objects blocking one's view. I'd love to see a first person view with something like a go pro. All of that action, up close, real time, etc. I don't know if they could match a player's peripheral vision, but I think it would still be a revelation to people like me who have only ever watched. Maybe wear one during a practice, full 5 on 5.

Russ Conte, excellent, Larry Legend was like the Bobby Fisher of basketball, in a league of his own..

This is just BS. Bird didn't think four steps ahead. He took the shot to make it. He missed so badly that he. could see it would bounce to the right, and he would have a chance for the rebound. Once he had the rebound he saw he could also shoot it, left handed. In short: quick thinking, skilled execution...one step at a time.

Love the analysis of the Great Larry Bird! We don't have players with heart anymore! They're all too interested in cashing their paychecks instead.

Smokey Robinson is Terrell's* green eyes biological father.

thank you Russ

LARRY BIRD WAS A FIREBRAND HARD WORKER WHO OUT-HUSTLED, OUT-SHOT, OUT THOUGHT & PASSED SO PHENOMENALLY WELL NO ONE IS IN HIS LEVEL ...... this is why he was THEE VERY BEST PLAYER EVER ! Many of the greats that played with /against Bird HAVE CALLED HIM THAT ! GBjj

Nicely designed video. And yes, these are absolutely traits that are worth paying attention to, learning, and mastering. a matter of zooming out spatially and temporally and seeing a little bigger picture than others do.

The last second steal by Bird required a bonehead move by Thomas but it doesn't take away from Bird "seeing" the situation and taking advantage of the opportunity.

LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️

This is a great piece. Too bad the two never got to meet. I'm sure they could have come up with a great sketch about theoretical physics and practical comedy.

Bird is thee GOAT plain and simple ! Bird in his rookie year completely turned around the fortunes of his team with the same cast of players to be competitive top level. The only other player that comes close is Michael Jordan but he could not make that claim. In fact, the Bulls struggled for 4 years with Jordan until a better supporting cast was acquired.

Bird was a genius.

Nice to see somebody break down how he does it but you started the inbound steal break down late - he saw it sitting on the floor, that's why he left Lambert open to control the pass. It's called playing the ball.

RIP to the great Dennis Johnson.

This play is always what I think of when people say he wasn’t athletic. So wrong. This play is nothing less than outstanding.

GOAT? No, but easily top 5....

Good analysis of a great player that unfortunately the only thing that stopped bird was his back and let's stop this very wrong bird is not athletic, that is absolutely not the truth.

Thanks for the video. An interesting perspective. ☘️ Larry Legend

He’s not athletic eh? Just remember, style isn’t a necessary component of athletic ability.

Simply, the best ever.

Nice vid! I believe you covered why Bird stood out among the greats of the game. The tools he had and used. I don't think anyone else in the game had those tools.

Dude.shet up and play the video

Always was so much talk about Bird not being very athletic. Well, following his own miss he jumps up gets the rebound while in the air with his right hand switches to his left hand(while in the air)and shoots the ball with his left hand and makes the shot. Does it say more about the person/player when he’s not a superstar athlete but can still play and beat the best? Is it something even more difficult to accomplish when you’re not a Michael Jordan?

Great video.

Very cool video sir!

He's my GOAT!

The ultimate respect and acknowledgment comes from Bird's peers. Those players who are hall of famers themselves. Bird played hard and gave tremendous respect to opponents that played with the same work ethic and confidence as he did. He played while he had horrific injuries, was in unbelievable pain, and never backed away from the pressure of taking 'the big shot'. He had court vision that historically, few others posessed. His BBIQ was incredible and came from his preparation. Great video

Larry bird passes to Larry Bird and wins the game. Then shares the glory and the trophy with the Boston Celtics. Then at the award ceremony Larry bird gives his thank you speech to his left hand for being a supportive teammate, and thanks his right hand for passing to his left. Also he thanks the Houston rockets for losing. Everyone loves the confidence of Larry Bird to make such a bold speech. Then he gets 100s of endorsements and later writes about his greatness in a book where he says how he taught chuck Norris everything chuck Norris knows, but not everything that Larry bird knows.

Thanks for letting me know!

Worked for what and for how long?

Bro looks like hes being held at gunpoint
