      Yeah.. so many people don't realize what is going on in the highlights of that game. It was the deciding game of the series.. Bird due to injuries is on the decline. He smashes down on the floor head first. Doctors told him in the locker room your done. Got a concussion.. ect.. you can't play. He told the trainer to please get him some water. When the trainer left the room.. Larry ran back out to the court.. put on a show and won the series. LEGEND

    Larry got his extreme confidence from his sheer will to win and more so the fact that he spent more time practicing than any other player even on his own team - he was the first to show up and the last to leave, he lived for the game and the challenge of winning.

      ​@@FreedomFighter2112 Did you restrict it to the last 50 years to keep Wilt Chamberlain out of your ranking? Wilt leads them all with 55.4 for his career. But that is misleading. They didn't keep official stats for blocks and steals in those days, so this is just points, rebounds, and assists. He would probably have closer to 75 if we had those numbers. Wilt lacked the competitiveness of Bird, and the ability to elevate his teammates that put Bird in a class of his own. But if this is a numbers game, there can be no GOAT other than Wilt.

      There's a story of when Larry was a rookie in Boston he went to one of the janitors for the Boston Garden and asked him when he showed up to unlock the facility. Janitor was a little confused but said he usually came in at around 6 am. Larry said 'If I meet you out here at 6 am, will you let me in with you?' Again the janitor was confused since the Celtics' practice didn't start until 8 am, but Larry was insistent and the janitor relented. Next morning the janitor shows up to the garden and Larry is outside waiting for him. Janitor lets him in, Larry goes to the locker room, gets changed, and heads to the court to start his warm ups. He does stretches, pushups, runs laps, and shoots free throws all by his lonesome. At about 7:30 other members of the team start showing up and Larry's still on the court shooting. Practice then officially starts at 8 and Larry's all warmed up and loose while the other guys are still cold, and Larry's just cooking them in drills and shootouts. The coaches start to notice and even though Larry started his rookie season from the bench, by the mid-point of the season he was starting.

    That famous Bird steal - it was Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals, series tied 2-2. The steal and basket by Dennis Johnson put the Celtics up by one with one second left in the game. The Celtics won the game and eventually won the series in 7 games. It would be the last time Bird made it to the Finals (where they lost to the Lakers). Bird's steal kept Detroit from reaching the Finals that year but they made it to the Finals for three consecutive years after that.

      The whole sequence of that was Rodman rejected Bird shot and it went out off a Celtic player, Scott Wedman I think. So all Zeke had to do was inbound the ball and the game would have been over. Bird hung back and made Zeke think it was over and he knew exactly where the pass was going to go. Isaiah said the whole thing unfolded in slow motion to him, with Bird standing on his toes with his heels just off the floor over the baseline waiting for DJ to flash down the lane for the pass and the layup with one second left. He didn't even have to look down to know exactly where he was on the court. Greatest single play I've ever seen.

    Chuck Person is one of the all-time great players from the University of Auburn. Was the 86-87 Rookie of the Year after being the 4th overall pick. While with the Pacers, consistently averaged between 18-20ppg while shooting well from 3pt range for that era (35-37%). He never made an All-Star team but he was a good player. He led the Pacers in scoring, before a young Reggie Miller emerged as their star player.

    His run from 84-86 (3 mvps, two titles, three appearances, two finals mvps) ranks up there with any three year run by anyone ever. Not to mention he was the best player on the 86 team that is considered the greatest team ever besides the 96 Bulls. I would argue though the talent level in the league in 96 was not what it was in 86. All the stars were getting older, expansion teams came in and they sucked, and we were a few years away from Pierce, Vince, Kobe, Tmac, prime shaq etc. In 86 a lot of stars just happened to be in the prime of their career and Bird was still the best

    Ok, I'm way older than you guys, I watched Bird play with my own eyes. Something these highlight films don't show enough was his genius at passes. If you thought you had guarded him, turned out his "bad" throw went right into the hands of a teammate in scoring position. If you thought his desperation dive out of bounds for the ball was for show, well, the ball bounced right into the hands of a layup master. Of course he was a master shooter, but they don't give him credit enough for how great a team player he could be.

He was like a general on the court, and he had the physicality and bravado to take it right at you if he had to. You guys talked about Stephen Curry three point shot percentage which is 42% career. Bird is not too shabby at 37%. He came into the league the first year the three point shot was available, and it wasn’t emphasized as much as today. But Bird also did all that other stuff.

      Keep in mind during that era it was not a smart play to shoot 3s all day. Matter of fact there were only a few guys in the league that had such a green light, mainly to close the gap near the end of games or expand it ("the back breaker" shot),and Larry Legend, was and still is at the top of that list... with Reggie Miller, and only a couple others. Today's game strategy is to shoot that very low percentage shot. While Curry has it down to a science in a clutch situation... Larry is taken that shot in my top 5 ALL TIME - Which Curry is not yet part of that list!

    The thing about Bird is that he could put it in with 2 or 3 guys in his face. Curry is a great shooter but I'd like to see him drain shots while triple covered

    • @rickbruner5525
      @rickbruner5525 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The play during the Bird era was a bit more...robust, with the emphasis on bust. Now you can get a foul called with a dirty look.

    Man sitting in the seat with the hat is Doc Rivers. Great ball player and legend in his own right. I watched Bird and Rivers play during both their hey-days, so I know him very well.

    BaffourHD, good reaction, yeah Larry Legend was 6'10" he posted up centers, had 21 and 20 rebound games in the finals vs. MOSES MALONE! and had unlimited range shooting, plus could pass and shoot with both hands, steals, killer instinct, guy was unstoppable..

  • @roguemerlin1969
    @roguemerlin1969 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    They didn't show it, but at Bird's retirement ceremony, Magic gave Larry one of his own jerseys with "To the greatest basketball player ever, but more important to the best friend ever." Jordan vs Bird and Boston? Jordan never beat Bird in the playoffs. In the 86 playoffs, Jordan scored 63 points but lost to Bird and the Celtics. You need to watch "The Case for Larry Bird". It shows more of the highlights and shows him playing hurt, including him coming back into the game after fracturing his cheek bone and leading the Celtics in a come from behind win. After retiring, he also won coach of the year and general manager of the year.

    That steal and assist against the Pistons was to take the lead with no time left on the clock IN A PLAYOFF GAME. That's how clutch Larry Legend was.

  • @cden409
    @cden409 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Larry saw his dad work hard, go to work with a broken foot-without going to a doctor because there was no money for food even. His dad drank and I’m not sure how old Larry was when his dad left. Single mom with kids and Larry worked hard and played to get into college. Everything he did was for a reason and to survive. He played better for his coach that he admired and respected.
    He played hurt all the time

    Guys, a note about the left-handed game in Portland. A really good player named Jerome Kersey was guarding Bird. And Larry was torching him LEFT-HANDED. One trip down court, Kevin McHale (Hall of Famer) yelled out ... "Hey Jerome, wait 'til he starts playing RIGHT handed."
    That Celtics team was a bunch of Trash Talk'n Heros.
    LOL, BWA HA HAAAAAA

  • @phunkjnky
    @phunkjnky ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The story I heard was that Bird learned the game in high school by playing after work with the black employees at the hotel he worked at. Because they were older than he was, he learned to talk trash from them, and learned his high release jumper.

    Chuck Person was from Brantley Alabama a small 1A school. Went to Auburn then to the NBA a few years later his younger brother Wesley followed him to the NBA. They have both been a tremendous blessing to their community by giving back. They built a nice sport complex for the schools and youth to play and enjoy.
