I do not own this video. This video is for entertainment purposes only.
Larry Legend was HIM I think I have to put him in my top 5, I do need to watch more highlights of other legends as well tho! Let me know your thoughts on this video below and comment other reaction suggestions too! 👀
Glad you checked this out.
@@picolo4102 yessirrr
That’s respect bro
I like you honest reactions about this legend. Respect man. Every basketball player in the past and today with such a talent we should honor like they deserve.
They are the real taste-makers of the sport. And that spoken from a Dutch guy, can you imagine?😉
Larry is in my top 3. MJ, Larry, and for me Bill Russell. If blocks were measured back then Bill Russell would have EASILY averaged a triple double for his career, from what I’ve seen at least 12-15 blocks a game. He averaged almost 16 points and 23 rebounds a game and won 11 titles in 13 years
If you want to cry, Watch the documentary about Larry and Magic. And how they became such good friends.
Yes I was going to suggest that too. It’s called “Bird & Magic: a Courtship of Rivals”. It’s excellent. A lot of younger people don’t realize that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were such rivals that they didn’t even speak with each other until late in their careers. It was only then that they realized they were very much alike. As their playing careers ended, (both due to health issues), the fierce competition turned into a mutual respect and friendship.
One thing about Magic and Bird's rivalry was it was true rivalry. Each pushed the other on to do better. After they did a commercial together they became fast friends but always tried to be better than the other with no malice.
I feel you thats a W friendship and rivalry they had
Love these Larry bird videos w reaction
Glad u do my guy thanks for watching ✊
After Larry's back injuries and till his retirement (1986 to 1992),
Larry Legend's stat line was:
FG% - 49.5
3pt% - 39.4
Ft% - 91.1
25.1 PPG
9.3 REB
7.0 AST
WITH A BROKEN SPINE ! ! !
Was it actually broken the whole time? I broke mine when I was 8. Talk about a sickening sound. I don't want to ever hear that again.
@@donolinger6904 Not broken, but ruptured disks. He had incredible pain for years and had to lie down on the court instead of the bench. He was in the hospital a night before one game. Had his back been OK, he would have another banner at least, and the best winning percentage of anyone.
@@usx06240 Thanks. I was thinking that he hadn't broken his back.
You seem like a nice young man. Larry's career was cut short because of a terrible back. Larry was old school and did his own work around his and his mothers house. He was doing conrete work on his mom's driveway when he injured his back and it was that injury that finally resulted in his career being cut short. He mowed his own grass as well, he was blue collar all the way. He tore both Achilles Heels in 89 and missed almost the entire season and still in 13 seasons made the All Star team 12 times and All Star first team 10 of the 12 times. He was incredible to watch because no one had a complete game like him before. He could shoot from any where, his passes were incredible, he was a rebounding machine and his foul shot was money in the bank. New subscriber here also. Check out his best trash talking video for a good laugh.
I appreciate it my guy but wow if only Larry had a healthy career, but i will for sure check out that trash talking vid soon 😂 welcome to the channel tho!
To add to those comments, in Larry’s last season as basically a cripple after those Achilles and back injuries he still averaged 20ppg and 10rpg.
I’d recommend watching Bird vs Jordan 1991 to appreciate how good Bird was against Jordan and the Bulls when he was old and beat up while Jordan was in his prime.
@@NoMercy4k he was...a tough mother fucker.
He played 30 mins up the road at French Lick, loved him at ISU react to the song "INDIANA HAS A NEW STATE BIRD" Hated him at Boston except against the stinking Lakers...I was a Sixer fan, Doc J, Moses Malone, Daryll "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins so nope but here I am, I can turn off the audio and likey repeat this video verbatim lol, seen it.
A Courtship of Rivals kicks ass
He actually has a congenital condition in which his spinal column is narrow. Hi surgeons were surprised he could play.

BOSTON - BOSTON -- One of the surgeons who operated on Larry Bird's back said yesterday that there were no real surprises in the two-hour procedure.
However, Dr. Alexander Wright took one look at Bird's beat-up lower back on the morning of June 7 and wondered to himself, "How did this guy do it?"
You forgot two other things 1. Before his NBA career started he hand a finger on his shooting hand mangled so bad during a softball game that he had to have 2 surgeries to try to fix it but it was never straight again and he couldn't fully bend it and 2. After hurting his back shoveling his mom's driveway a few years later he did worse damage to his back when chopping wood and after that his Doctor advised him to retire cuz his back was so bad but Larry being Larry continued to play a few more years.
I watched Bird in my 20s. You did think hed make every shot. Only tom brady and bird did I ever have such confidence in.
lmfaoooo i feel it thats how I feel with bron sometimes
Also. Bird is 1 of 8 players he makes a case for. Its a good series. Also theres a making the case for GOAT team
I really appreciate your open mind checking out LB. He's my favorite all time player so I'm happy when he get some recognition. Then you can still prefer somebody else, LBJ, MJ, Magic, whoever, it's totally fine, what I don't like is when people bash other players in a way or another just to put their favorite above everyone. Greatness is greatness, and you don't get in a top 10 conversation without it.
Ayee im glad you enjoyed my guy I see what you're saying but i never really gave the older greats a chance by watching them so im trying to be open minded as possible!
He's beaten every ha of famer in his Era. No other player in that Era has done that.not even Jordan. Bird is 6-0 against Jordan in the playoffs. Swept him twice. JORDAN got his trash talking from Larry. He was 3 times three point champ consecutive. 3 straight MVPs. Career 90 percent free throw shooter. Was 50/40/90 three times. Career double digit rebounds and made three all defensive teams. Best all around player ever.
@@TheIcemanthomas Ok, Jordan didn't have much help in his early days. MJ was the best player on the court in some of those games he lost.
@@mikegoodwin2386 yeah but I mean he still lost at the end of the day lol
Also his trash talking video. Rookie highlights video. And his Indiana state college highlights. All awesome. He was great right from the start.
Got it gonna check some more out soon
Keep digging on '80s basketball, you'll not be disappointed at all. Dr J passed the torch to Larry and Magic, who passed it to Micheal. The golden age of basketball. I suggest a reaction: Larry Bird's Greatest Game "I should have quit right there"
Cheers from Venice Italy
Ight bettt my guy stick around im going to be reacting to all the older greats I never saw before and ima write that vid down! Hello from the US lol
Thanks for showing interest in the golden age of the NBA……..the 80’s. Nothing and I mean NOTHING will ever top Bird vs Magic. It captivated the nation for entire decade. I feel blessed to have lived to see Larry play
Nothing is better than a Larry Bird story. Dude was Mr. Clutch....out worked, out hustled, out thought everyone on the court.
And his trash talking ... only adds to his greatness. 😄
My man you have to react to Magic and Bird A Courtship of Rivals, the best sports story ever. You can split it up in parts or do one long reaction. I promise people will tune in big time! I also promise that you will love it. You couldn't find a better story if you made one up. Oh and I don't know where they stand with their top 5 now but I have heard Bron say top 3 Bird, Dr. J, and Jordan, Jordan had him in his top 5, and Magic said he was the only player he ever feared and of course had him top 5. Kareem said he was probably the best player he ever played against. Pat Riley said if I needed a basket to win the game id go with MJ, if I needed a basket to save my life, I'd go with Larry Bird.
Dude, I love your passion and attentiveness to what you're seeing. Keep being you, my man.
Ayee thanks my guy I appreciate the kind words, god bless! 🙏🏼
Give a watch to "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals" ....these 2 guys were amazing.
No problem. I cry every time I see the two of them interact. I started watching the NBA in 1961, and these are my two favorite players ever.
Larry bird is the Goat. If he had not got injured he would have destroyed the record books. He was the smartest most clutch player ever. He could shoot from anywhere on the court. And if you gave him the last shot in a game. He would make you play every time. He was unstoppable. There will never be another larry legend.
Check out 5 times Larry Bird refused to quit
Definitely will soon writing it down my guy!
Enjoying your Larry Bird video reactions, and have now subscribed. Thanks for the content! I recommend trying any of his trash talking videos, or his Best Passer of All Time video (re-edit with new footage).
Ayee im glad you're enjoying the content my guy and welcome to the channel! Ima definitely check both of those out here soon, I like Larrys game no cap
He didn't just invent the 50/40/90 club. He also was the second member the following year. Those two seasons were doing a four-year span that he averaged 50/40/90, and two of the four years he missed it by a fraction. He was just decimal points away from four 50/40/90 seasons in a row. And he is 50/38/89 for his career
Don't feel like your alone bro! I was crying with you. I was alive watching Larry Bird back then. Definitely one of the top 5 Goats
Ayyee thanks bro lol always sad to see greatness fade away
I started watching at the tail end of LB's career. I was watching that playoff game live on tv when all the team had to do was pass it inbound. Out of nowhere, from offscreen, Larry comes in and snags the inbound pass away and passes it to a team mate to win the game with the shot. Was something else.
Not only was he the founder of the 50/40/90 club, he did it twice, and was less than 1% away at least three other seasons. When the team needed a morale boost, we're a little worn out, he'd tell them they could have a day off if anybody made a half court shot. Larry would always do it and send everybody home. Bird was deadly from anywhere. I've seen him go up for a shot, get clotheslined like a pro wrestler, flip almost upside down, shoot just before he landed on his head, and still make the shot. The crazy alley oop, catch,, shoot in mid air from three, and make it that only a handful of players have ever done once,, Larry used to have a couple of those every season. Larry is my favorite player, and in my opinion the most complete player ever. I've got him number two for GOAT. Right behind Jordan, just ahead of Magic.
If you really want to dive into his passing game, you need to see Larry Bird - Greatest Passer of all time (Re-edit with new footage)
Ight bett my guy will be checking that out soon!
Yes, please 🙂
You need to check out "Pistol" Pete Maravich. Both Bird and Magic got a lot of their moves from watching him play.
I grew up watching basketball from the late 60s till about 2010, when it did seem to get soft; there wasn’t that drive to get the rebounds, or play through an injury; when winning and teamwork was the driving force. I was a NY Knicks fan, but every time Larry Bird played and it was televised or the Celtics were in town and I could get to Madison Square Garden, I was there. There was something about him… every time he stepped foot on that court, you knew something special was going to happen and it always did. I feel blessed to have been able to watch basketball in the days when it was a little rough, and the refs let them play rough. All in all Bird is my GOAT. Best all-around basketball player ever. I think the reason you tear up is because you know you are watching greatness… I tear up too. And I have to admit every time you say that Larry is playing back then what the guys are playing now, I see it in the reverse… The league finally figured out how to play like Larry Bird! 🐐☘️. I love your reactions and can see your passion for and knowledge of the game. Keep up the great work!
If my life depended on one shot, then or now, Larry Joe Bird is my absolute pick from anywhere on the court. No question about it
I grew up watching Bird he was truly a legend, him and Magic were great friends the only time he got really mad at him was when Magic found out he had A.I.D.S and didn't tell him, he was mad because he didn't want his friend going through that alone.
Bird sounds like a helluva a guy ngl
Bird wasn't mad at Magic. Watch the documentary Courtship of Rivals about Bird and Magic. Good show.
HIV and AIDS are actually 2 different things. One is much worse than the other. HIV does not cause AIDS. We've been lied to about many things concerning reality. I had 2 cousins that each had 1 of those diseases. 3 to 6 years is a long lifespan after contracting AIDS. My cousin with HIV lived about 33 years after he got sick. The other cousin only lasted a few years. They are curable but we're not allowed to have those cures. We aren't élites so too bad for us.
Magic didn't have AIDS, and miraculously, he still doesn't. He's HIV+
I enjoyed your reaction. Just for the record I wish they would bring the short shorts back. Just because passing between the legs was so much more fun back then. 😂 Larry Legend!
Kevin Mchale is arguably the best post player in NBA history.. look into him bro. Mchale was no joke.
As long as fundamentals are fundamentals Larry will remain the best all around player I've ever seen.
check out (THE FIVE TIMES LARRY BIRD PLAYED HURT AND REFUSED TO QUIT) and then you realise how great he was playing with all those injuries and pain and stil put up the numbers he di. other ones are (TRASH TALKING) AND (GREAT PASSING)
larry was mad good n so was this reaction no capp🔥 LARRY LEGEND
larry bird was goin crazy ngl n so was yo reaction🔥 LARRY LEGEND
ong he was but im glad you enjoyed it bbg thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I’ve seen this video at least 25 times - and I still tear up each time I watch it. Truly inspirational shit. You get it, bro!
Wow I feel you my guy it definitely does hit very inspirational
"To the greatest player ever. But more important, a friend forever"
The 80’s was the most exciting time in basketball. Larry saved basketball from the toilet. When he came to the Celtics the TV stations would play reruns instead of games. Bird changed that. His contributions extended far beyond the ball.
The GOAT baby!! I love me some Bird!
I grew up watching Bird and lived about a hour outside of Boston. Larry was special for sure…
I feel you my guy and I can tell he was his game speaks for itself!
He is the only player to win the mvp 3 consecutive years since the ABA merger. He is the only high volume shooter to do 50/40/90 more than once (Steve Nash did twice too). He is the only player to win rookie of the year, league mvp, finals mvp AND all star game mvp. Despite all of that, he was such an unselfish player. He went out of his way to get the entire team involved.
There are a lot of players that are awesome to watch. But the true legends are inspirational because they transcend the game.
💯💯
So cool to watch all you young guys learn how good these legends were, Larry is my number 1 pick but I’m an old man and have watched these legends. Larry “basketball Jesus” the legend Bird.
The thing about larry, is his insane accuracy in clutch situations.. He has the highest percentage in game winning shots.. That's why teams will be scared shitless whenever he gets an opportunity to get off a shot in the dying seconds in a close game, because more often than not, it goes in.. That's why he's the clutchiest player.
The Larry and Magic story is the most moving and beautiful story in sports history.
Check out the documentary, its up on youtube.
There is nothing that even compares to these guys.
This will add a little bit of perspective to how great Larry really was, Jordan was smashing everybody in the league but Larry had a 17-11 record against Jodan in the regular season & was 6-0 against Jordan in the playoffs. The guy that most old school fans think is the GOAT never beat Larry Legend in the Playoffs & had a loosing record against Bird in the regular season. That is true basketball greatness.
Uhhh, because MJ eas a rookie with a seriously trash team player against one of the best all time on a bonifide team with 5 starting hofamers. Tbat celtic's team is arguably the best ever. So Jordan's team lising to them is no surprise but on an individual level, MJ was cruching them like every other team which is why Bird called him "jesus dressed as MJ"
@@BizznessMinded how was MJ a rookie & had an 11-17 record against the Celtics? Tell me when any 2 pro teams play each other 28 times in one season, you sound like a complete idiot arguing that, takes 8 or 9 seasons to match up 28 time & you can't meet twice in the finals in one season either so that destroyed the Mj was a rookie argument. Let's just go with the fact that Bird was an all around better player & much better team player than MJ ever was.
@@jamesmyers7142 Listen stupid! Bird seasoned already when Mj came into the league and so was his team. His entire starting line up are hofers and like it or not you're a rookie at least your first 3 seasons. But the main point is MJ's teammates were trash period until the addition and development of horace grant and scottie pippen. Also Phil Jackson coming along and convincing MJ to buy into the triangle offense and trusting his players. Part of that rookie ego made MJ wanna keep the ball to himself and try to do everything on the court, which for the first few years he basically had to. And don't give me that bullshit about magic being old when MJ won because mj was 35/36 and Rodman 37 going on 38 when they completed their second 3pt. Not to mentioned Mj averaged 20 for the season at 40. No matter how good your superstar is the better team wins, as proven by the Mavs beating Lebron and the heat, in Lebron's prime!
That "someones uncle" is Kevin McHale.
Hes in the Hall of Fame, the dude was an absolute monster.
Just not as big a monster as Worthy or Kareem
There are a few athletes that when they play whether you're a fan of that sport or not you stopped and watched Larry Bird was one of them just like when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were going in the home run Derby or when Secretariat won the triple crown or Wayne Gretzky played in hockey or Barry Sanders ran the football you just didn't want to miss it because you knew something spectacular was going to happen almost every time
Larry Bird…Legend☘️
Loved your reaction...your my new favorite ❤️
Ayeee im glad you enjoyed and thanks for all the support!
As a child of the 70s and 80s, I was privileged to see this man for his entire career from his rookie year until the end. This fella making the video is correct. When Larry and Magic came into the league there were no, repeat NO live games being aired and the entire was on the verge of total collapse!
When these two young men first entered the league, no one has seen their style of play before and the excitement around this rivalry that really both the print and TV media at the time kind of hyped up all for the sake of trying to save the league after the ABA and the NBA merged it was game on for the next decade of the most incredible basketball that no one had witnessed!
And don't feel bad young man for tearing up. The night they aired this retirement ceremony they had for Larry I went through an entire box of tissues and sobbed my eyes out for weeks after he was officially gone. And nowadays a lot of these young cats they don't know how great the play was back then thinking all the only great players were Kobe and and LeBron and whoever but where do y'all think they got their play from? LeBron in two separate interviews spoke about how much he watched Bird's game play growing up and his top three of all time: Larry Bird, Dr J and Mike!
Enjoyed your reaction and I really appreciate you showing my man Larry some good love!
Rock on, 😀🤘
Aszneth
Larry's in the conversion. I have him at #3 all-time.
That was such a great reaction...respect!
Ayee thanks I appreciate that! 🙏🏼
Good vid bro. It's sad to see the legends go. I agree.
Thanks my guy im glad you enjoyed and yeah its very sad ngl
getting sad means you have passion for the artist that will no longer perform great reaction tthank you
Faxxx exactly but thanks for watching my guy im glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼
Larry Legend, 10 most savage moments. You'll love it...
Thanks for watching my guy and bett ima write it down!
Great video, glad you discovered Bird… but Kevin McHale was nobody’s uncle. Him and Hakeem have some of the best post moves ever.
That’s Larry legend
Yessirr
Larry was there for Magic when Magic announced his HIV diagnosis. Magic lost a lot of friends out of bias, ignorance (of HIV) and hate. Larry Bird believed in Magic. They loved each other. Rivals? Oh definitely. BIG rivalry. But you gotta remember: they were in a fraternity of precisely TWO. They were the only ones who could understand each other. They were an anomaly. They saved the NBA and that isn’t an exaggeration. Every current NBA player ought to donate 20 cents out of every dollar they make and send 10 cents to Magic, ten cents to Bird. They MADE the modern game.
Larry was a really good defender.
Not like he was competing for the leagues best defender or anything but he was good enough to make the All defense team 3 times.
Larry was a small forward at 6'9"! Larry was the first point foward!
Yeah thats crazy for a second he looked taller I thought he was a center 😭
Three consecutive? Look at the rest of the 80s. Here’s eye openers. Legend’s MVP voting in the 80s:
1979-1980 : 61 wins : 4th in MVP (shattered knuckle, shooting hand)
80 - 81 : 62 wins : 2nd in MVP
81 - 82 : 63 wins : 2nd in MVP
82 - 83 : 56 wins : 2nd in MVP
83 - 84 : 62 wins : 1st in MVP
84 - 85 : 63 wins : 1st in MVP
85 - 86 : 67 wins : 1st in MVP (injured back this year)
86 - 87 : 59 wins : 2nd in MVP
87 - 88 : 57 wins : 2nd in MVP
3rd in ‘88 but yeah, this Larry stat is probably one of THE most insane, just ridiculous
@@jubjubhenry5612 www.basketball-reference.com/awards/awards_1988.html weird. BasketballReference.com has Larry in the two spot: 1987-88
Also, check out Larry Bird Best Trash Talker..... His opponents cant say enough about him...
Larry Bird is top tier. He's on the same level as Jordan. You will not find a stronger basketball warrior from any era.
Lebron my 🐐
I don't know if you know, but the three point line was introduced the year Larry Bird started playing. So the three point line was a very new concept.
I didn't know it was that year but I knew it was around the 80s when it got added
He initially hurt his back putting in his own driveway. He worked just as hard off the court. U shud watch how magic & his relationship developed.....
The reason why anybody and everybody gets emotional is because they see this man’s got serious game all the way around. When you see a legend it can be quite emotional. I’m an old salt been watching basketball Before the NBA ABA merger. I don’t watch much of today’s games it’s just not the same league
Ay I like the video bro, just subbed! God bless you brotha, I'm rockin with you 🙏
Ayee thanks my guy im glad you did and I appreciate the support, god bless you as well! 🙏🏼
I love your reaction.
thanks my guy! 🙏🏼
You have to react to the Larry Magic documentary (A Courtship of Rivals)
LARRY LEGEND WWWWW
Yessirrrr preciate u my guy 🙏🏼
Did you catch it?
In college Larry Bird and Magic Johnson wore the same jersey #.
33
And for a bit of the coincidental creepy vibe, during his last year of college leading up until his defeat by Johnson, Bird’s college team won 33 to 0.
That’s a number I’d think I’d start using in the lotto.
Great reaction!
Thanks my guy!
Larry was not only a clutch player but told the other team what he was going to do and defy them to stop him. He is the biggest trash talker in the history of the NBA. He was only one of the two players to repeat in the 40-50-90 club. Steve Nash was the other player to do so but not the high volume shooter that Larry was.
Larry WON first three 3 pt.contests!!!
Legend
I remember watching playoff games at 11:00 p.m. in the 70s.
You might want to look up who "somebody's uncle" was. 🤣 Best total package of back to the basket post moves all-time.
Bird would destroy today's players. And most clutch player ever, by a wide margin.
You are right about Dame. Go Blazers!!!!
Yessirrr Dames super nice
Reac to Larry bird greatest passer re-edit
already got it written down gonna check it out soon
Bit of Trivia: Kareem was league MVP and Magic's teammate in Magic's rookie year.
You should watch "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals." You will love it!
Larry Legend
Bro,I get misty eyed too.I watched the whole thing unfold from the beginning. Will likely never be another story like Magic /Bird Bird /Magic.
You get it, my man.
thanks my guy
Bird Gang...🍀
coach Kc Jones said in the 86 playoffs, " if we win tonight we get 3 days off.... Bird went for 46 and was out on the lake fishing thxt next day,
Larry is the only one that can say he bested M.J. I'm surprised that Bird vs MJ wasn't mentioned to help prove the case.
Great vid bro.
In his three in a row MVPs, Bird shot 52.4%,88.1% & 41.6%.28 ppg,9.8 RPG & 6.7APG,plus 2 SPG & 1 BPG
Wow those shooting splits and stats are insane ngl 🤯🐐
You think this stuff was emotional for you? Imagine being a Boston fan in the '80s and '90s. The video at the end, where magic calls him the greatest player ever, was the night that the Celtics retired Bird's number. There was no game that night. 18,000 people bought tickets to a 90 min ceremony to watch number 33 go to the rafters. And Magic flew across the country for it, which bird did not know was happening. Magic showing up that night was a surprise and a thrill for Larry
Magic and Bird: A Courtship of Rivals ;)
That somebodys uncle is Kevin McHale. Best footwork and moves in NBA history just behind Hakeem Olajuwon. Guy is a HoF and would hold the scoring record in the Celtics with 59 points if it werent for Larry;)
If you can find any of those Celtics Lakers finals games you need to check them out. It was probably some of the best basketball you will see.
Also check out ESPN Celtics Lakers: best of enemies
Larry Legend. So at the end you said Magic was his rival saying those things about him. Those Lakers and those Celtics were and are the biggest rivalry in the history of the NBA. Magic was in the sold out Boston Garden. No gane that night. The Boston fans, known for being the most rabid fans in all of sports, were so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. They respected and loved Magic for helping Bird save the league. They hated him for beating the Celtics in the finals twice. They loved him for his friendship with Bird. React to The Dream Team. Greatest basketball team ever. I’ve seen people trying to compare the 2008 “Redeem Team” to the Dream Team but it’s not even close. Point guards Magic and Stockton. Shooting guards Jordan and Clyde the Glide Drexler. Small Forwards Bird and Pippen. Power Forwards Barkley and Karl Malone. Centers David Robinson and Patrick Ewing. Chris Mullen as a shooting SF/PF. Those 11 all in the Hall of Fame. Bird and Magic were Co-Captains and ended their careers with the gold medal. Average margin of victory was 48
Listen Kevin Mchale has the most post moves probably in history behind Hakeem go check out his post game highlights they r insane mchale was a menace on the block but he also struggled with injuries
Also big ups young man it’s always refreshing to see the younger generation learning about players from the past and educating themselves. Need more younger folk like that, keep it up.
I enjoy your passion. Bird is a forward/not a Center. Robert Parish played center for the Celtics then.
