You need one person to MAKE a shot to save your life who you choosing? Steph Curry or Larry Bird?
If he knows a life is at stake, Bird. Nothing fazed him.
Bird of course... Curry sucks under pressure I'd rather trust MJ then him, shit even Dame....
Bird all day
Is it a "HORSE" shot?
Larry. Period.
It's simple: Steph hits his threes, and is the best of his era. Bird hits his threes, and was the best of his era. So, to save your life? It comes down to who hits them while behind with 2 seconds on the clock. Not in the middle of a game. When everything is on the line, and it's the last gasp chance. Larry comes out on top there.
You have to remember...Bird was getting 10 boards a game under the rim. He was playing down low a lot too...these guys today play at the perimeter with the 3-pointer being the first option.
Bird in today's game would have the green light to launch 3's, and he would be in rhythm to do so.
Good point
Hey Hen, I’m one of the lucky fan’s that was able to watch Bird live and all the other greats of that era. In my book Bird is the Goat , period. My question is this: Who’s “stats” would IMPROVE if they played in the other’s era???? I think even Bird Haters would have to admit Bird’s would be off the charts. But can you honestly say the same for Steph and other players today??
💯💯💯
They might but they'd definitely need to toughen up.
I love all the old guys. They were the toughest of all time. 79 to 92
Excellent review!! Love this video by Larry bird Prime. He does an excellent job on his videos!!
Thanks for watching!!
That last shot in 3 point contest when he raised his hand before the ball got in, if the ball missed we would have see that clip in Shaqtin a fool opening bumper 😂. Imagine that. He had that superb confident.
From deep Steph is the best I’ve ever seen and Bird is for sure top 5. In the clutch and you’re down by 2 or 3 and you have to have a 3 Bird is by far the best there’s ever been. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! Great reaction
If you needed 1 person to take a shot in a big situation to win a game. There are only 3 answers:
Larry Bird
Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant
I don't care if it is a 2pt, 3pt or foul shots.
For me personally it's Bird but I can't argue if someone chooses one of the other two.
For me you can look at 3pt shooting in 1 of 2 ways.
Totally statistically - Steph is not even in the top 10 3pt shooters of all time in this category
Clutch 3pt shots - again Steph is not in the top 10 all time.
Just because he has shot the most 3pt shots of all time and made the most 3pt shots of all time, he also missed over 4500 3pt attempts.
Love that you mentioned Kobe 💙
Great vid. I agree with you and Coop. It's not about percentages. Respect to Dominique as well. There were many, many games where I saw Bird having an awful shooting night. Then in the last minute of the game he'd hit 2 dagger three's to seal the deal. Now THAT is a great three point shooter. Terrific reaction bro. 👍💪
🔥💯
When the guy who says he hates you says your one of the greatest ever.. and Coop was a Rodman level defender.. enough said
In regards to luck the saying we always heard was “you’ve got to good to be lucky, and lucky to be good”
I like that
I've heard many football players say they would rather be lucky than good. I wonder if basketball players feel the same.
Before I pick between Curry and Bird I would have to look at the other team and see who is guarding each guy. Curry has better handles but Bird has the height and size to get off his shot. I think it is important to remember that Bird did not have a 3 point line in high school or in college so the 3 point line was totally new for him and all the NBA players in the fall of 1979. Another great point was that Bird in his era was the best 3 point shooter in the NBA = way ahead of the league average. Bird's first coach Bill Fitch hated the 3 point shot and probably had very few if any plays to set up a 3 pointer. The game has changed significantly and I think it is important to respect all players regardless of their era. No player can control the era that they play in!!! Love your videos and how you share teaching points!!!
💯💯💯
Bird Gang Good to see you HenDawg!
💙
Wow that was a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've watched them both..I'd take Bird without a doubt.. great reaction boss..
i was thinking steph until i seen the 3 off the backboard hmmmm and i didnt know steph has lost 5 3 point comps. i will put MY LIFE in the hands of LEGEND !!!!!
Kevin Love clamped down Steph Curry at the 3-point line in Game 7 2016 to seal the game for the Cavs. No effing way he gonna bother Bird on a 3-point game winning shot.
😂💯
Pat Riley said this......"If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I’d choose Michael Jordan," . "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I’d take Larry Bird.".
Larry was allowed to be touched, and he still sank them. If he wasn't allowed to be touched, like today; he would have completely destroyed everyone. It would have been like a game of horse for him.
💯💯
Lets get it 🔥
💯💯💯
Under pressure there's nobody in basketball better than Larry bird. That's why I to me he's the greatest shooter ever when the game was on the line and the biggest pressure moments only people can remember one time he ever screwed up. You can't say that about any other player in NBA. To me that's what makes you the greatest shooter of all time. What can you do when the pressure is really on.
Facts 💯💯💯
14:33 as a pro golfer once said. The more you practice, the luckier you get.
I like that
Bird gang!!!!
I have to agree with Pat Riley. “If I had to choose a player to take a shot and win the game, I’d choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to save my life, I’d choose Larry Bird.” Case closed. Shut off the lights. This debate is over.
I was honored to have seen at the games of the sixers wilt chamberlain,Pete Rose, Harlem Globetrotters and the Steelers and eagles, flyers during the 60\70s❤❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
🐦🕊️ Bird !!!!!!!!
Pete Maravich averaged more than 40 points a game without a 3-point shot. He would have averaged 60+, along with his 5 assists a game. I know, white guy, but he was absolutely amazing.
Lakers' coach Pat Riley said it: "If I had to pick one player for the last shot to save my life I'm picking Larry Bird." That's pretty high praise........
💯💯💯
Thats the ultimate clutch. No disrespect to Curry, but Bird has the documentation - ice water in his veins. Bird for me.
💯
Another great video, sir.
Appreciate it! 💙
🍀 #BirdGang💥🍀 You know me Henny.. But im taking Steph for Life and Larry for the Game! Just like Pat
😵 ahh accidental send. Pat Riley said about MJ & Larry! Mj for the Game Larry for life.. Steph has eclipsed EVERYONE we have ever seen.. 🍀GO BRUINS GO Celtics!🍀
🔥💯💯
The 3 point line wasn't introduced until Larry lengend first year in the NBA 🐐☘️
From anywhere on the floor and in a clutch situation Bird is the best I’ve ever seen. Led the league twice in three pointers made and and was and in the first 8 years of his career he was top 5 five times also winning the first three 3 point contest.
"Hyperbole" means overly dramatic or exaggerated statements that are meant for effect, not necessarily to be taken literally.
As for who's the greatest 3 point shooter? It's tough not to say Curry because let's be honest, he would be great in the 80s NBA too. That's because he's a great shooter, not just lucky or soft or whatever. Would he be greater or even as good as Larry? We won't ever know but considering everything I'd have to give Larry the edge. Clutch, confidence, consistency, skill, psychological warfare, court leadership, Larry had it all. Also, Larry was 3/3 in three point contests. Curry is 2/8, I think. So if you're the greatest 3 point shooter ever then why are you only 2/8? And Larry was a forward, not a guard. No way Larry isn't at least in the very top of all time great shooters.
💯💯💯
If Bird played in today’s 3-point no-foul soft-as-hell league, he wouldn’t be a Legend, Larry Bird would be eff’n Mythical.
💯💯 facts
I'm in the Bird Nest
Great reaction as always bro if u want to start doing merch hit yo boy up artist right here 🎨
the three point shot only came out when larry went in the nba steph curry has had his whole life to practice the three point shot
The last shot to save my life im sorry to the greatest shooter steph curry but im taking a bird 3pointer in the clutch situation it’s the only right anwser
💯💯💯
As far as I'm concerned, Larry Bird is the best shooter of all time and I'd take him over anyone.
I got him number 3 all-time
One shot I’m taking Larry. 33 years old here. Competitive nature is what it boils down to. Like dude said 3 peat for Larry, 5 losses for Steph. Killers are killers all the time or they ain’t killers
💯💯💯
I do want to have you consider the 3 point contest as a pressure issue. Larry won three in ALL three years he entered. Steph had trouble winning any time.
Id like to see the best 3 years of the all stars vs. Birds best 3
No flagrant foul in the 80s. You touch anyone today and you foul and the shooter flops!
The 3-pt shot wasn't emphasized in the 80's like today. Curry is certainly one of the best shooters today and overall but sorry I'm picking Bird. Bird did everything on the court and was an unbelievable shooter and a clutch shooter at 6-9." Otherworldly and a Mt. Rushmore player.
💯💯🔥
3 point started when Bird was a rookie, he didn't grow up practicing the 3 pointer
why does one have to be better than the other? Since the 3-pointer didn't exist until Birds rookie year you can't fairly compare them. Although that stat of 51 to 28 really says a lot as far as the eras go.
I still watch the NBA today but I also watched back then and all I can say is if you're taking Steph over Larry, you just don't know. I've watched both. Bird was just on another level. It's just that the 3 wasn't what it is now so that's why it's skewed. Different eras.
If Covid messes up basketball season this year, I’m going to sue it.
I wish there was audio from then, lol
💯
I rather be lucky than good! That's what I say
Facts!
So did this video change your mind bout the greatest 3 point shooter of all time???
Maybe 👀
JJ didn't even have freaking pubes before Larry Legend's era
Lmaoooo
I'm taking Bird to save my life.
Fun fact....
1992 NBA Finals, Jordan shot 12 for 28 for the series from the 3-point line...he made more 3-pointers in that series than the entire Portland Trailblazer team combined.
I think that's kinda funny considering they were dogging Jordan about his 3-point shooting before Game 1.
🔥🔥🔥
i'll take a 60y old larry bird over most to save my life. prime-time larry to save the freaking multivers. and luck? is 75% grit and determination
💯💯💯
I’m taking Bird!
Have you ever heard of "Pistol Pete" Maravich? If not, I strongly suggest you check him out. His ball handling will astound you.

Imo Bird was better than Curry but the presentation being given here comparing their 3 point percentages to the lesgue average makes no sense.
According to the numbers presented here Curry was 10% better than the league average and Bird was 14% better than the league average of his era. I dont know how he came up with 28 and 51.
☘️🍀☘️🍀
☘️
Hyperbole means an exaggerated statement.
I’m taking Bird
I will take Bird every day.
Steph is the greatest 3 point shooter but when you needed a score Bird was the man Steph shoots it during the game but when a game or championship on the line. Bird was the man and I hated him because Dr J was my man.
💯💯💯
Hyperbole: exaggeration; overstatement
for a season Curry obviously, but for a game or life saving shot?.. c'mon lol.. ive seen it with my own eyes to not doubt him.. Curry hasnt shown me that (game winners from three as consistently as bird) over his career. Plus Bird CALLED his shot, he had WAY more confidence cuz if he missed he would look like an ass hole lol.. he DEFINATELY had more ice in his veins.
💯
Bro picking larry bird over curry in 3 pointers is crazy, Idc what the situation is. Y'all being delusional that's all
💯💯💯

Reddick didn't do anything except bounce around the nba
NBA now is the weakest whinest era ever, by a lot! A today's player would not survive one season in the 80's.
💯
J.J. Who???? Cooper and Dominique let me know I don't care who J.J. is or what he thinks.
Steph would not have survived during the Magic- Bird Era. It was too physical back then..
Dont think he could’ve adjusted to the times??
I disagree to that and I think he would adapt. Great players would be great in any era, basketball it's still based on the same fundamentals, shooting, dribbling and passing. Curry is a fundamentally sound player and we are lucky we're seeing him play.
I'm 46 and I love basketball, from Jerry West to Steph Curry, I don't care, I'm fed up with all these stupid discussions and people not having the proper respect to all the players that put their soul, talent and health in this beatiful game. JJ Redick is a disgrace, it makes it worse that he's a former player, It' appalling
@@JulioLeonFandinho Curry could not drive back then. He is not strong or exceptionally fast. He can shoot if he has the space, but he would be hand checked. His 3pt % would have dropped by 15+%.
The player that would lose the most, fall the furthest, from his peak would absolutely be james. His greatest weakness is his lack of heart in comparison to the players of the 80s/ 90s. Longevity is NOT a basketball skill.
"Hyperbole" means all talk and nothing to back it up; an exaggerated claim.
🤝
If JJ Reddick's stupid logic is to be believed then Seth Curry is a better 3 point shooter than Steph Curry !
and Drazen Petrovitch and Steve Kerr are better than both of them!
word?🤦🤦
💯
and Bird outweighed Steph by SIXTY FIVE pounds - course Larry Legend isn't gonna get pushed around
💯
So Larry Bird shot his threes and made them, oh why is his three point percentage 37.6. Y'all full of crap
Okay JJ. Look at the numbers with no context.
👀
Yeah he never practiced it. Shot maybe 2 a match.
The way you pups suck curry diq youd think he never misses. He misses a tonne.
If larry legend got to throw up 10 per game his average would improve too.
Because after his back was ruined and he was going to retire in 88, the Celts first round draft pick died the day he was drafted.
Larry felt he couldn't leave his teammates after that. He continued to play needing back braces and therapy everyday. Sometimes the man had to spend the night in traction to play the next day. Couldn't sit on the bench, had to lay on the floor. So his percentage dropped. He was still better than most of the league. Think about that for a minute.
Juan to put a little context to the 3 pointers = Bird even admitted he rarely practiced the 3 point shot. The only time he did practice was a few days before the 3 point contest at the all star games to get ready for the competition. Bird's first coach Bill Fitch for the Celtics hated the 3 point shot. Bird I think only shot 1.9 three pointers per game for his career but when he did start to shoot more = 85. 86, 87 and 88 Bird shot over 40% for all 4 of those seasons. If Bird had grown up with the 3 point shot and shot a higher volume?? I think Bird's % would be right with or above Curry's.
Steph never won the 3-point competition 3 years in a row.
Actually comparing with numbers is a bit stupid. Who made more last second game winners. That's what it's all about. The numbers total don't really matter.
