    Bruh, the Hawks bench was cheering for Bird because he shot almost 65% from the floor, and 15 of 16 from the line. He ended up dropping 60 points on them. But they were mostly cheering because of the kind of shots he was making. Just ridiculous shots, one after the other. I saw that game back in 1985 and even I was cheering (well, I am from Boston). But I would have cheered for anyone the way he was dropping buckets. He was amazing that night!

    The 60 point Atlanta game is a much bigger story than just that one game and it's my favourite basketball story of all time.
    Back in college Bird first got a scholarship to the University of Indiana. Being from a poor family he suffered ridicule and bullying from some of his basketball teammates the main antagonist being a guy named Kent Benson. Larry ended up dropping out of that school and moved to Indiana State University and went on to lead them to a 33-0 record. Fast forward to March 3rd 1985 and Bird's Celtics are playing the Pistons with Kent Benson. Now Larry being a small forward couldn't go head to head with Benson but he could use his teammate Kevin McHale to inflict a little retribution on his behalf. McHale ended up setting the Celtics all time scoring record with 56 points and Kent Benson just couldn't go with him, he got so frustrated he ended up getting himself ejected from the game after 15 minutes of game time. Not that Larry didn't go after Benson and his Pistons himself he still ended up with 30p 15r & 10a. After the Celtics had the game in the bag with a few minutes still to play McHale took himself out of the game. After the game Larry told him he should have stayed out there because that 56 point record might not last. 9 days later Larry Bird got the Atlanta bench fined for celebrating by scoring 60 points and setting a new Celtics all time scoring record.

    Charles Barkly said

    So any talk about him not being athletic enough for today's play, that's just people who don't know how good Larry Bird was...because he could do anything...and if he couldn't score himself, he could pass the ball off in ways that were just stunning in the ingenuity of how he did it sometimes.

    A couple of the better Bird stories:
    One is told by John Stockton. He said right before a game in Utah Larry walked over to the Utah bench, stood there and said, "I feel like...43." Then walked away, the game started, and he scored 43 in the game, for the win.
    Another is told by Reggie Miller when Larry was up for two free throws. He said he tried trash talking Larry by saying "Hey, hey!" Larry stopped him and said, "You gotta be kidding. Rook, you gotta be kidding me." He shoots one free throw. "I'm the best f-ing shooter in the league, understand? In. The. League." Shoots another free throw. "And you're here trying to tell me something?"
    The thing is those stores are too far fetched, too "comic book", that if it wasn't the players telling you about it, you wouldn't believe it.
    The thing Barkley said about Larry not wanting to play against white guys, Larry said that multiple times. He grew up playing with black players, and he considered basketball a black man's game, and that they were the best players. And he only wanted to play against the best. So playing against other white guys, that was beneath him.
    Larry was ruthless. He just did not care. If you can't handle it, too bad, you're gonna lose. It's psychological warfare; if you can knock your opponent off his mental game, you've won part of the battle.

    I can watch these Bird video's over and over. Show me another player who time after time told his opponent what he was going to do before he did it and then went out and did what he said he was going to do.
    As far as teams being disrespectful by guarding Bird with a white guy - I have seen 4 different Bird videos where players from other teams told that same story.
    The game where the Hawks players fell off the bench and gave each other high 5's was on March 12, 1985, when Bird set the Celtics 1 game scoring record with 60 points. 3 players on the Hawks were fined for celebrating Bird. One of the Atlanta players, Cliff Levingston, didn't mind the fine as he said it was the best seat during a came that he ever had. The game was actually fairly close. The Hawks were not a good team that year as their record at the time was 25-40, while the Celtics were 51-14.

    To answer your question, Larry said that a lot of times. To players but mostly to coaches. He said that African American players were the best in the game. Much better than white players. So if you put an unathletic white dude on him, it was disrespectful to his greatness. Because he was dropping 30 and 40 a night on the best players (black players), so If a coach put in a white player, he'd yell at him from the floor, " Hey coach, why you got this white boy on me, I'm killing him out here?"
    "Put the rookie or someone else in here, but get him off me cause' he can't touch me out here!"

    The Hawks were a great team! One of the Celtic's best competitors. This game, Larry was on fire straight out of the gate and scored 60 on them. Insane shots. The one that had the bench cheering, Larry had called that in front of the bench so everyone was waiting for the play. He even asked someone to guard him. He said "in the trainer's lap" the guy on the bench in white is the Hawk's trainer. Bird shoots, the guy guarding him (Carr says it was him, but Doc says Anton was on the bench...not sure who the guy guarding him was) knocks into Bird causing him to stumble and fall into the trainer...as the shot went in. The shot would have given him 57 points but it didn't count. His two free throws gave him 56 points. The bench went crazy because of Bird calling it, and the whole game was a shooting clinic for the Hawks.
    THe whole story from all the people who were there is on TH-cam. One of two things Bird did to the Hawks, the other was the "the duel" with Dominque Wilkins.

    Larry Bird grew up playing street ball with older black guys at the hotel in his small town. As a kid, He thought they were the best players in the world. He carried that respect and the fact he had athletic black men guarding him and he still shot over them, as a white guy, he knew a white guy guarding him was easy. Greg Elho is white and had to guard Larry...he and one of his team mates tell that "white guys guarding him" story. It is also a good "don't poke the Bird" story.

    The Bird-Dr. J. fight is one of the great legends of the NBA. First one of the refs was injured early in the game (he broke his leg running into Dennis Johnson) so there was only 1 referee. Both teams had to agree to keep playing, and it was Dick Bavetta, who at that time wasn't very highly rated. Then Bird was having a great night, Dr. J. was having one his worst nights ever. Every time down the floor, Bird would remind them of their score: 30-6, 32-6, 34-6. He told he was getting too old and should retire. By the time it got to 42-6 it was on. Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, ML Carr. Bird and Dr. J. have an incredible amount of respect for each other but that was just one of those nights where everything came together for one of the most famous fights in league history. Look for videos of the fight. It's pretty amazing.

Larry wasnt fast and couldnt jump very high but he found ways to more than make up for those deficiencies.

    I agree w/ the whole "great players can adapt to any era" but I don't about Lebron, if he could adapt to the 80's style of play. I mean I'd love to see how he'd react to a Bird or Reggie getting in his head w/ the trash talk and backing it up and making him look foolish, but the speed of the game, the ball movement especially like the Celtics and Lakers they were great in the 80's not just because they had great players, they both shared the spotlight and got every team member involved for the over all goal of winning games. It wasn't just about themselves back then. it was a real "team" sport and effort. Also, I would pay money to see Lebron play against the bad boy pistons. Laimbeer would just beat the crap out of him and go on with his day. Floppin' back in those days wasn't really tolerated, you were treated like a B**** if you were that guy. Yeah I think Lebron wouldn't be Lebron in that era.. But, after a few years he'd either wash out or have to toughen up a lot. As for Bird Trash talking and backing it up, yeah that does take big cajones, but he wasn't doing that to chumps or guys w/ names no one really remembers or cared to learn.. he was doing that to future hall of famers. As for the hawks celebrating Bird, those three got fined and pretty much "fronted" by the coach in front of the team, by replaying that celebration over and over. And yeah if we had internet back then, that would have been everywhere.

I believe he has shown that or the course of his career with criticism he has received (maybe some self-inflicted) he is more than mentally tough to play this game. If you debate if he is physically tough enough, there's really nothin i can say because I feel that's more of a personal opinion of what you think of a guy.

    Larry Bird managed to get Dr J to come after him. Dr J was having a bad night scoring and every time Larry scored he would give his score and Dr J's. Right before Dr J came after him. Larry gave the scores 38-6 and told Dr J that he needed to retire. That is when Dr J lost it and went after Larry. They were both ejected from the game for fighting. What made it surprising is Irving and Bird had a pretty good relationship off the court. They had done at least one shoe commercial together. When this incident happened I was shocked because that was so unlike Dr. J. At that time, nobody watching on TV knew Bird was a world class trash talker and instigated the attack. I hated Larry and the Boston Celtics when he played but I respected the hell out of his game. Larry wouldn't back down for anybody in the NBA, if they wanted to go, Larry was ready to throw hands.

But obviously he did mean. He’s not better than Larry, he’s got to know that. People only remember him because he dressed like a woman before it was trendy and dyed his hair crazy colors.
    And yeah, white chick here. Even Larry knew back then that black athletes tend to have much more natural athleticism than white athletes. He actually said he knew that fact and knew he had to train twice as hard to

    Bird grew up poor in a small Indiana town called French Lick. He was one of 6 children. And his mom worked two jobs to support the family. His father and mother divorced while Bird was in high school and then a year later his father committed suicide. Poverty was a motivating factor in his basketball excellence. And also I imagine in his trash talk. He had a big brash ego to thwart off those who might disrespect him first. He left IU before a month and came back home, started going to Northwood University and worked municipal jobs for the rest of the year until the next fall when he transferred to Indiana State University. Their team's last success before Bird began to go there was in 1968 when they were the runner up in Division II basketball. Under Bird they had 3 successful years capped off going 33-1 in 78/79 season. It was their first Division 1 NCAA playoff ever in school history. And they would not go back into the NCAA tournament again until 2000. 21 years later.

      @itsshadbih there's a video somewhere where he tells it, but I'm not sure where. He basically said that Bird was so in his head that he began to doubt he should even be in the league, and maybe he should kill himself. He ended up with i believe a 9 year career but wasn't anything special. That's why I believe if Larry was in today's league he wouldn't be able to finish a game from all the fights he'd start just bc today's players wouldn't be able to handle it. I mean, they're beginning to play like soccer players with all the flopping and crying 🤣
      Edit: I found an article with his statement.
      "I'm starting to think while we're running back down: 'Maybe I shouldn't play basketball, maybe I'm not that good... Maybe I should have been a brick mason? You know, like, what the hell am I doing here? I can't go on now...' If this guy scores another bucket, I'm thinking of suicide. I really was [thinking that]."

    Well said!! Yes, any superstar can play in any era!!
    Dennis Rodman is just a hater... Bird humiliated him (Larry didn't discriminate, he did it to everyone lol) throughout his career!! Back in the 80s, Rodman said if bird was black, he'd just be average!! Of course, this blew up but Bird said he don't care and squashed it from his end. After he retired, I saw Rodman on a talk show trying to explain why he talked publicly about Bird and race. He said he's from the hood and basically didn't know better. You could see he looked embarrassed!!
    So NOW after 30yrs, he's still salty!! 😂 oh and the Dr. J fight!! Bird kept telling him each of their scores throughout the game... when it got to 34- 6, Bird told Dr. J he should retire... then all hell broke loose😂😂😂

    The game you're talking about where the opposing team was coming apart on the bench was a result of Larry Bird being so incredibly hot, that no matter what he did, he could not miss or make a mistake... Nobody on that opposing team could do anything to stop him or even slow him down,,,, every time they put another man on him, it only got worse.... It was a historical display that few players have ever been able to pull off.... and that's why people are still talking about it and watching in disbelief 40 YEARS LATER!!!
