I think Larry was the only rookie who told veterans he wasn’t going to do any rookie chores. Ever
i agree,but at the same time i dont hear any rookie chores from jordan
What they may not understand is Pro Basketball was on the verge of collapse. Had they not landed where they did when they did, Lebron and Steph wouldn't exist in anyone's mind. Basketball would have ended as a pro sport. It was close to going under.
yes,thats what im sayin
Maravich's retirement had nothing to do with what Bird said to him.
Agreed. His knees were shot.
Knee injuries in the 70/80s was a career killer.
Today, they out for a few months and come back better than ever.
Magic is nothing but big time CLASS!
Btw there's an interview of Pete Maravich where they ask him about Bird. He says: "I don't think Larry is the best scorer, dribbler, rebounder, passer, shooter, he's just the very best". Also, sadly, Maravich too lost a parent to sui...de.
rip pistol pete,but yea man but was that dude
LARRY was all the game, he will alway's be the best complete player in the GAME=mega !!
Regards all LEGENDS
All those people who say that Larry Bird was slow obviously weren't watching. Larry was as fast as he needed to be.
He could look slightly awkward at times , but he was always in control of his body and utterly aware of his surroundings. Great ballhandler.
For some of the most beautiful basketball you’ve ever seen check out the 1992 Dream Team documentary. 11 to Hall of Famers. Everyone was glued to their TVs when they played Larry and Magic with the Co-captains. It’s also the last time either one of them played. I still get chills when I watch the games. Only about three or four people did a reaction to the documentary in one shot it’s a little over an hour. They were all stunned they wanted more they said. And I guess because TH-cam has so many videos the others who broke it up into two or three parts are missing.
good news! i actually did react to it on my channel,your more than welcome to check it out

Well, in 79, Bird did play with some hall of famer's. Just not the ones from the 80's. Dave Cowens, Tiny Archibald and Maravich. Although Pistol and Cowens were at the end of their careers. They also had Maxwell, who was a really, really good player. You put Bird on any team and they are automatically winners. Dude was a killer.
most definitely
Didn't they have those players a year before Larry, and they could only win 29 games without him but over 60 with him?
That 44.2 PPG average from Pistol Pete was BEFORE the 3-point line was introduced. Once the 3-point line came into effect, a study was done to track all of his shots from his college games and they found that if the 3-point line were in effect at the time he played, his average would’ve been 57ppg. There begs the question of whether he would’ve done anything different if the 3-point line were in existence. Would he have taken even more shots from downtown, possibly increasing that average?
maybe.we will never know the true answer to that question
Did not know that!!
If Magic and Bird were on the same team in their youth. Especially, if Bird was in the Lakers they would of DESTROYED the League.
Hazing is one word for it...& yes there were too many probs with people taking that crap too far!
HAZING!! thats the word i was looking for 😂 but yea man,the shaq stories and the jason williams story were the two main ones that come to mind
I watched Larry Legend Bird and Irvin Magic Johnson when they were in college and they were the greatest rivalry bar none. The 2 of them should equally carry the title GOAT of the NBA.
yes they could
IT amazes me how the Lakers were even able to select Magic. I mean, He was one of the 2 best college players and the Lakers were already a great team, How did they even have such a high pick in the draft?
and he won the championship in college,AND that game was the most watched college game EVER
Not certain, but it may have been from previous trades. If so, some other team really messed up.
Loved Pistol Pete❤
loved his game as well
If Bird played today with all the soft rule, he'd average a 32 point triple double while leading the league in technical fouls because of his trash talking. LOL.
😂😂😂
I watched his entire career. Him and Magic both.
Build a team around Magic and Larry with any other players from the eighties and you have the dominate team in basketball, for their era.
Agreed! I've often thought what fun it would have been to watch them on the same team.
Watch the 1978 World invitational Tournment where Larry and Magic played together but only got little time on the court because of their utter dominance on that court. The coach played a bunch of lower level players while Magic and Larry sat on the bench.@@Gracie-SavedByGrace
The Bird was a Wrecking Crew PASS/SHOOT/HUSTLE/FOLLOW-UP HIS OWN SHOT and talk trash - tell ya WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO .... To THEM !!! To their faces. Never been a player that dynamic, reliable and determined !!!
thats right
Pete Maravich was NO ONE to lecture Larry Bird about passing the ball. Maravich spent almost his entire career being a gunner.
😂😂😂
Great reaction..
Yessir.. Larry Legend..
P s.yo, react to Pistol Pete Maravich.
Yessir..I seen em at LSU...44.6 ppg..lol..NOT 34.... WITHOUT A 3 POINT LINE....
thank you
okay we will react to that
Btw....the 3 point line didn't exist until Birds rookie year! Lol
exactly!!
Now wait a minute,you cant forget tiny,and cedric
who are they?
oh wait,yea yea
Nate tiny archibald and cedric maxwell-the rubberman-81 finals mvp
MAGIC TELLS STORIES OF HIM GETTING WATER AND HOT DOGS FOR KAREM
ohh yea,he would get his news paper and make orange juice for him every morning
I agree with you, Pete shouldn't have said anything.
Chris ford was solid too
Watch the courtship of rivals. About Larry Legend and Magic Johnson

Growing up in this era was UNREAL , we paid for a basketball ticket and we got a show and sometimes a fight for free ,but this was the first time the NBA was on prime time,the nation lost thier minds ,ever kid was trying to play like bird 🐦 or magic ,i had my bird poster above my bed ,but im not gonna lie you open my closet and there was magic poster ,lot of nights it was straight up street ball ,but ppl say others brought that style later with white choc and others , umnm did you watch bball in the 80's HELLO 🏀🐦💚💯
i have,im new to 80s basketball in terms of magic and bird(i knew who they were but not much) im a jordan fan so i was watching youtube highlights of the celtics beating the bulls when i was little,and jordan scoring 63 points against them,but i am more of a larry bird fan then a magic fan
Chief and mchale too
React to How Michael Jordan’s Trainer helped him become the GOAT that’s the title of the video it’s amazing.
say less
I think you meant hazing.
yea yea
So he did have some help.if larry wasnt a celtic i woulda hated him!

we gon check the allstar game out
Yeah they just had Cedric Maxwell, Pistol Pete, Tiny Archibald and Dave Cowens… nobody on that team 😂 context be a mf
😂😂😂
I honestly think Curry ruined the NBA with the 3 pointers as entire games are launching up 3's I can't even watch it anymore. Haven't watched in a long time but do check up on the Celts scores!
i dont think steph “ruined the game” he changed it tho,the only reason why you think he “ruined the game” is because he was winning,if lebron was winning more we would be talking differently about it and the game would be different
@@itzkhiiii Nobody takes it to the hoop anymore. I find it boring watching 3-point ball. It's not just Curry doing anymore but its every team now. I thought he was the one who started the trend. I would still take a young Bird over any player in the NBA today.
It is nice to see the younger generations appreciate how good some of the guys were from my gen. You watched one of the better Bird videos than I see most folks react too.
yea he did start it,but when you got guys like james harden,luka,and damian lillard whos offense is almost COMPLETELY based on 3s a lot of people started to follow that
The only GOAT Bird did everything better
