Larry Bird was 4 top notch players rolled into one: shooting, rebounding, clutch shots and especially, assists. No one comes close to Larry.
Don’t forget 3 times defensive player of the year

Nobody worked as hard or personally sacrificed so much of himself and his health as Larry Bird did. Its one of the biggest reasons he earned the nickname LARRY LEGEND - and he earned it the hard way. Magic was right there will never be another Larry Bird.
My mom cried when her and my dad watched Larry Birds retirement ceremony.
It speaks volumes for both Magic and Larrys content of character that even after spending years in such an intense rivalry they were still able to put it all aside at the end and show such respect and love for each other as best friends, we will never see the
likes of either again not just as players but as men.
Truth...... favorite line: "We just knew we had to stop this guy, but it was Larry Bird, we never did."
That is called true sportsmanship, love of the game & love of the team ❣❣❣
the time Larry broke his face because his back was toast and STILL came back to win the game. Says it all.
Larry was fresh as a daisy ☘️🐐👍
That's why we loved Larry Legend he gave us everything he had 🐐☘️☘️🐐☘️🐐🏀🏀🏀
The kids today should watch this show. It lays it out why Larry was one of the all time greats.
If we could go back in person to watch that Lakers-Celtics finals series, what an experience that would be! They brought it from the parking lot into the building and onto the court.
Also, you have to give it to Dennis Johnson for being heads-up and going in for that clutch layup after Bird stole it.
If DJ was caught sleeping, Larry'd surely let him have it. It wouldn't surprise me if Larry didn't give him the heads up before the inbound pass. Larry knew it before Lambier did.
The ECF in '81 was really the championship series that year. Boston and Philly were the two best teams. Not only did Boston come back from 3-1 and win, but they came from behind late in each of the last three games.
Back then we watched 2 guys Bird and Magic, these men truly saved the NBA, their friendship and love for one another is so much bigger than life.. Thank you!
Anyone that watches Bird has to be inspired by his play because he never gave up and was able to do so many incredible things during the span of his career. Today - in the game against Indiana, Bird would have failed the concussion protocol and been prevented from coming back on the court. He was examined and told "larry you have given everything you have to this game and cannot play" Bird supposedly nodded and then when he had the chance he ignored the advice and came back onto the court AND look at his face = he is upset his team is losing and he is determined to win this game!! He led Boston to victory and his performance was so impressive the fans and his teammates were screaming their approval at his performance and even the opposing team had not seen anything like this. Bird was so dedicated to his team I have to tell a story from Peter May's book titled "The Big Three" pages 232-233 where Cleveland's Dell Curry ( Steph's Father) accidentally elbowed Bird in the eye and fractured his eye socket and Bird had double vision in that eye. Bird stayed in the game and would not tell team physician Arnold Scheller anything. Bird was seeing 2 rims with that eye and he was still hitting shots in that game. Double vision does not go away quickly and this is when Bird was wearing the goggles for several games ( he was on the cover of SI). Later in the same book = pgs 266 -267 Bird admits to playing in games late in his career where his feet could not feel the floor. A normal person would probably have trouble walking in that condition and Bird somehow willed himself to play basketball at an NBA level?? I find that fascinating and an example of Bird's determination to win. This guy had a love of the game and the heart of a lion.
Amen.
Awesome reaction, hope you are having a great weekend brother. 🍀
When Bird hit the floor he crushed his right cheekbone an played with an concussion as well Bird is the G.O.A.T
I'm with you on Bird stealing that inbounds pass from Thomas, then finding DJ who hits the layup! I watched that entire game at home, and remember it like it was yesterday.
That head injury against the Pacers - Larry did have a concussion, a fractured right cheek, and he said he had double-vision. Dude still came out and killed it. Effing amazing.
I really liked. That series LT I loved it wow it takes me back to a really good time my life Thank you for loving Larry Legend the way we did I know MJ is your favorite but I love how you see the greatness of Larry Legend 👍🐐☘️☘️☘️ 33 ☘️🐐☘️☘️ 33 ☘️
Hey LT I respect you for giving Bird his due..I'm 58 years old watched Bird in college all thru his career. He was greatest all around team player of all time..I lived and breathed Bird .Never missed a box score or game on tv..He was my favorite player in any sport..Its just nice to see a young guy do his research and realize how great Bird was..I can tell you love b ball and respect the old guys..Peace to you and GOD BLESS YOU..young man....
LT we loved this man he was great, he gave us his all every game ☘️🐐33☘️🐐👍
That steal at the end in the game against the Pistons is my favorite LB play ever. I had a VCR at the time, and would tape all the games and I had to keep replaying that moment over and over again because I couldn't believe what I had just seen. With just seconds to go, it was all over for the Celtics and then Larry just appeared out of nowhere! Seriously. Whoosh, he sailed in like Superman and of course DJ was right there and it WAS all over, but for the Pistons. Talk about clutch!
My favorite athelete of all time by a damn mile. He was something ive never seen anywhere ever. There will never be another bird. Shit. Lol.
When i watch these old vids i remember watching it live in disbelief.
Excellent reaction video, thank You!
Pete Maravich learned from Bob Cousy (ball handling/passing)
Larry Bird learned from Bill Russel (passing/positioning)
SUBBED
most clutch player ever...PERIOD
I always love watching you react to Larry Bird especially if it’s something you haven’t seen before we got a few of those in. As far as your favorite play when you look over at The Celtics bench and there’s Bill going from disbelieve to utter joy because of course this means they go to the finals
As always peace love and joy to you and yours
I'm a 44 year old grown man shedding tears. 😢 MF BIRD 🐦 IS MY DAMN 🐐 GOAT 🐐
What's hilarious, is even when Bird is playing dirty its still amazing, the way he backed that guy out of bounds into the crowd.
The guy wasn't supposed to be on the outside of him while he was inbounding the ball. 🤷🏻♀️
@@cindyknudson2715 exactly..
"that guy" was Michael Cooper, one of the best defenders in the NBA for many years
@@mark.8949 Bird has stated that about Michael Cooper many times. Great defender. 👍
@@cindyknudson2715 that guy also said that Bird was harder to guard than Jordan because he was more dangerous when he didn’t have the ball. He was constantly moving. He also said that Bird saying he was the best defender he played against was one of his highest accolades.
In the retirement ceremony where he puts his hand up and waves did you notice the index finger and the pinky look like 90 year old grandpa fingers what an amazing talent this man was as always peace love and joy to you and yours
I'm glad you young guys are putting Bird back out there. I'm not sure he's the GOAT, but he's unique. Maybe the greatest pure player EVER. Jordan is hard to deny. The game in those days was different. More physical. The whistles didn't ring out like they do in today's game. So you had to play tough. I played high school ball in the eighties, and we used to laugh when people called it a "non contact sport". It was rough.
You should have played in the seventies like me, no blood no foul.
@@73Trident I’m six three, but I’m a skinny mfer. I went to a small school, so coach always stuck me in at power forward. I got the shit knocked out of me. I could jump so if I had position I could grab those rebounds. But usually I got knocked the fuck out of the play. Fun times.
I could dunk easily, but good luck back in the mid to late eighties. If you got a chance in the open court, you’d get Kurt Rambused and only get free throws that you couldn’t make because your whole body hurt.
@@73Trident 60's and on, here. 6'4" patterned my game after Russell, rebounds, and shot blocking...turned my 6'2" brother into a monster on offense who could play D too...he ran with the Laker's summer league for a few years....he had a fall-away that would make Kobe look like he was going straight up...lol.
This why we loved this guy Larry Legend 🐐☘️🐐🐐🐐👍☘️
I loved that guy. My only regrets about his career - the deaths of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis. I would have loved to have seen that trio on the court.
Having Len Bias on the Celtics would have changed NBA history as we know it. Such a damn shame. 😢
The C's definitely seemed snake-bit during that time frame. I came to work, not knowing about Bias dying, and this guy that was a Knick fan told me he died. I laughed, 'cause I thought he was joking...stunner.
When he came back and took the victory from Chuck person with a broken face, concussion and double vision, that was a moment for history books. Period.
Have you ever seen the complete video of Larry's retirement ceremony? It might make a good series of videos for you. There is so much more to enjoy than the standard highlighted bits. And his personal comments. Well, I'll leave you to react to them.
It was an event all into it so no basketball game just Larry’s Retirement ceremony and the place was packed
Thank you for sharing. I'd love to see more Larry! He's just the greatest.
Larry is a Unicorn 🦄
Also Happy Memorial Day!
Happy memorial day to you too
Larry did everything to win and make himself and his team better what an inspiration and all around great talent!!
This was all Great L.T, ! Much love to you and the channel.
"...the way he played today is the stuff you tell your kids about." That may also be the best way to sum up Larry Bird's career.
When youre getting that kind of respect from the team you just beat, guys from the losing team coming up just to touch you with ultimate respect instead of petty bitterness as if to say "damn, im telling my grand kids about you Larry" - that is LEGEND status.
I had seen some of these clips before but not this whole tape and it was great. So nice to hear from other teammates and adversaries of Bird’s. It was fun to hear Magic say he hates to lose to Bird at…anything. Hahaha….I get it . To know now that they’re such good friends is wonderful. They played their hearts out. Imagine if Bird was healthy his whole career?! Just fun to see this so thank you. : )
He did everything so well. Definitely a Goat!
Love your reactions to this! I grew up watching every Celtic game and this video brought back many great memories. Larry Legend never dissapoints!
If any coach knows, Riley does, and I firmly believe he would take a Prime Bird over even MJ. He's pretty much said as much.
Dope video, LT.
yeah, he threw jordo into the mix so it wouldn't reflect so much on him his choosing Larry as GOAT. GOAT to save my life.
Growing up 20 minutes from Boston the Celtics were and are a way of life. Being lucky enough to see these games live was something that still gives me goosebumps when watching videos of the greatest all around player I’ve ever seen still to this day. Great job on the reactions! Keep it up!
My favorite moment from all of these videos, happened about a minute into the ultimate mixtape, when Larry sat a dude down, then waited for him to get back up before he dropped a bucket.
Great reaction as always bro.
Man I really enjoy watching you you really seem to be right on with the game. I appreciate that I appreciate people who really know. The people who see the things that no one else sees. Those are the ones I like to watch. So thank you. And yes Larry Bird was a beast
Great video mate. Talent is talent is talent regardless of who you are, and Larry Bird is up there with the very best.
Larry Bird played every single second of every single game, to its fullest. Bill Walton said it, "the game was over; the Celtics had lost." But it was not over to Larry Bird. There was still time on the clock to make something happen, and he played EVERY second -- he made it happen. That's the difference between being a great player and being a legend.
It break's my Heart 33👍🐐☘️☘️☘️
Its a rare thing to see the opposing team going off the court even though they lost showing Larry such awe and respect touching him like he was annointed - Moments like Larrys comeback with a fractured eye socket and concussion in this game on top of his bad back to start with and doing his very best to get his team the win and many other reasons are why he so definitely earned and solidly deserves his nicknames - LEGEND and "Basketball Jesus". We thank you Larry for all the herculean efforts and seldom seen self sacrifice that has few if any equals in the NBA. When none other than the great Bill Russell spoke that highly of Larry I almost feel like that was the moment Larry was truly anointed as "Basketball Jesus"..
Russell was my favorite all-time player...until Larry came along...
Bill Russell was another Celtics legend for sure
Hell yeah, i watch that game.. Just woooow... No more like this
He would not be denied ☘️☘️🏀👍🐐☘️🏀🐐
Lie your enthusiasm bud. I feel the same way. Never gets old watching the plays and every time see a little more how crazy difficult most of them are. He had ALL THE SHOTS, it was just a matter of getting open. 👀 on each side of his head truly. His touch gets over looked; only because he was that good but his great hands allowed him to scan the court like a cat And still catch and dribble. A slow pass beats a fast player any day. Great vid
I appreciate your support of the channel I hope to keep your friendship for years to come
Larry Legend 🏀
Your Legend videos are the best
Check out Larry's 1991 game highlights against the Clippers Larry is 35 and still playing well Late in the game, Larry sinks another clutch 3 point winner As they run back down the court, Larry offers his hand and gets a "Low Five" from a Clippers player (Ken Bannister) The announcers had a good laugh on the replay More trash from Larry
As much as I love Larry, watcing this again both him and Dominique played like true champions and as Larry said we both deserve to win but someone has to go home (or similar) -- Dom was younger than bird, more athletic and just like the video said Dom was a human highlight reel, even Dominique him self said that 4th quarter was a literal shoot out back and forth shot for shot - Dominique had NOTHING to be ashamed of in losing because he gave Larry and the Celtics all they could handle, one of the best 4th quarters ever seen in the NBA.
You might have noticed how rabid we Bird fans are. I’m 74 and have never seen the like since. A lot of reactors dismiss us old folks as haters, but the truth is our appreciation of Bird and the Celtics’ talents and exquisite team play has not been duplicated. Ever. Anytime or anywhere. ❤️
I have watched this original video, probably a dozen, or more times, and, if I live, I will probably watch it a dozen more. I also saw, probably 95% of these plays, real time, back in the day. I almost tear up through this last half, every time I watch it. I sure miss those days, and those Celtics, with Bird and the rest. Shoot, I even miss Magic and the Lakers, and I never thought I would feel like that. That said, I enjoy watching it through Solid's eyes. It's entertaining, for sure. I believe he is a genuine Bird fan, and he is knowledgeable, and picks out things I might have missed.
The thing about Larry and Magic is they took the NBA out of obscurity and got it into prime time, the Sunday Double Header for the NBA always had the Boston Celtics as the early game and then followed by the Lakers in the later game and yet neither game started before 1p.m. in either market because of the time zone differences. The NBA quite possibly wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Larry and Magic, if they didn't save it we would not have had MJ, AI, the Admiral, Tim Duncan, or LeBron James. Something to think about folks.
Larry had 2 chips at that point and if you watch 50 greatest players behind the scene on here, bird 🐦 and Russel were actually close,and thought highly of each other 🥰🥰 talking about legends ❤
L.T all day! Bird was the best!
Hey, I just got to say that you are my favorite reactor! You get it! Your intelligent comments and enthusiastic passion makes it as enjoyable for me watching it the first time! So cooll! Thanks I' a big fan!
I'm a little late to the party here but gotta say Larry Bird is the 9' 6" soul in a 6' 9" body... His will and his will to win was unmatched. Increcible! Thx for the vids.
I had never seen this video. Great reaction.
Bird fractured the bone around hir right eye socket in that game against the pacers. After the game he told a reporter he was seeing two baskets.
Btw. I was a Jordan fan but really just starting watching ball as he was starting to retire. I remember feeling bad for Isia, one of the earliest memory’s of 🏀, was about 14 I think. , never realize how much he and majic brought the game back cuz it was always there for me. As you said. A great time to watch bball still not the same as the 80-90s. Scottie Pip made it possible for MJ ti do allot of his great things. Which was magical to watch as well
I remember the 86 Finials game 6. That was game was one of the most perfect games by a player. Bird uses every bit of his Iq. MJ game 7 vs Pistons in 90’s ECF when he got over the hump. AI vs Lakers for the shocker & Kobe’s final game were true special performances
Love some 🐦. My five in no particular order. Bird,MJ,DOMINIQUE,KOBE AND RUSSELL
Been a Celtics fan since thel late 60's. Larry is my absolute favorite player of all time
You have me crying Lt thx LT I loved that ty🐐🤡👍☘️
Solid, great reaction...actually Larry Legend hurt his back while paving his Mom's driveway by hand by himself! Then in the Pacers game vs. Chuck "The Rifleman" Person- he broke his face! Yeah, concussion, but he fractured his cheek and the orbital bone around his eye...took no pain killers, Larry Legend don't need drugs- then we all saw what he did...was totally crazy seeing it live, but with Bird, also almost expected...
I loved that LT do more of this type of Videos I really enjoyed and appreciated that ty LT 🐐👍☘️
That's why we love Larry Legend 🐐☘️🏀33☘️🐐☘️🐐☘️👍👍
The more I studie bird it gets more and more special.the man saw true the game I seriously think he might have had the highest game iq ,understanding of everyone who ever played even today 2023 .I mean no one has to agree but I really believe that.
LARRY BIRD WAS A BAD ASS BASKETBALL PLAYER! I was born and raised in a little town in Indiana, New Whiteland ,IN!
Magic and Bird! nough said... I miss those days. basketball just isn't the same for me personally. I watched all the games if I could in those day's....great basketball days with legends on every team. just not the same in today's game. damn
LT.. Bro, you crack me up with laughter, "And then, the "Devil" showed up" Priceless! I think you could head up a Basketball Comedy Club gig.
Fracture of the right cheek and a concussion. Came out against the trainers advise
Best reaction video i’ve watched. Ty
I wince every time I see Larry fall on his face. Can't imagine what that was like. check it out at 23:27. You can see how his fingers were crooked.
He won it for Terre Haute, which was a great way to give credit to his college town. It is so hard to pick a play, because there were so many when he just made a difference in one way or another, just being there and not giving up is the most important. Love his teammates. All of them.
Great reaction video! I think you should definately do more longer videos broken into segments. I highly suggest you do the best documentary out there "Magic & Bird - A Courtship of Rivals". Your videos are great, and have gotten me to subscribe. Thank you!
Bro, you did a great job, I really appreciated your genuine sincerity in this. Great job!
Thank you
It kills me to see Larry Legend like that kills me☘️🐐🏀☘️33☘️🐐
Just saw a Bird shirt that I really want & can't find it anywhere 😭 It's a "Massachusetts state bird" shirt with Larry shootin a ball & he has giant eagle wings 💜
Did you see, recently, the story about Magic & Worthy re: what they were doing during halftimes? I really wish I never saw that.
And when Larry played home games, he'd look up at the rafters and fixate on Bobby Orr's retired number hanging up there.
Follow the progression from Bird and his passing to the way MJ passed. And on down the line to KB and Luca. It all starts with Bird.
I broke my pinkie finger during volleyball practice in college. I had to pull over while I was driving to the ER because I almost passed out behind the wheel. Stopped the car and barely got the car door open before I puked in the parking lot. I can't even wrap my MIND around going back to the game with a fucked up back AND a broken face and winning!
I got tickled when Pat Riley talking about how hot it was in the Boston Garden then says, Larry comes out fresh as a daisey..
Terrific video. Thanks man.
Great comments!! Totally enjoyable.
Thx Larry for staying ur senior year. Otherwise no bird n magic
I love this!
Dude I don't know if youve already heard this one but maybe others haven't, but the famous Pat Riley said..."IF I HAD TO CHOOSE A PLAYER TO TAKE A SHOT TO SAVE A GAME I WOULD CHOOSE MICHAEL JORDAN, IF I HAD TO CHOOSE A PLAYER TO TAKE A SHOT TO SAVE MY LIFE......
I'D TAKE LARRY BIRD."
That says a lot about what a cold-blooded, dart throwing cat that Larry was. 🏀🔥🏀🔥🏀🔥🏀
Great video's man. Good job
Enjoyed it very much thanks for sharing!
Hey SOLID🪨⛏️ IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW BRO THAT INJURY WASN'T ONLY A CONCUSSION, LARRY CAME BACK AND PLAYED THAT SECOND HALF WITH A FRACTURED CHEEKBONE!!
He basically fractured his face and still went out and lit it up. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
THAT'S FIRE 🔥💀🔥
He was also seeing double. Two baskets, etc.
The story I have heard Dominique say about that game against the Celtics is about Kevin Willis and how he fired up Larry. And Dominique's reaction. LOL
I couldn't hear your air conditioner but thanks for being considerate. All love my dude
Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Larry Bird are thee Only ones in history who Won 3 Consecutive NBA League MVP's. I'd say Bird was in the conversation as the G.O.A.T. consideration.
This makes me sad. LB is the best player of my lifetime and when he retired he took all the excitement with him. It’s like waiting for another Secretariat, Elvis, or JFK to come along.
This says it all for me:
