- What Players and Legends Have to Say About Larry Bird Will SHOCK You...
Before Bird and Magic, the NBA was like that underappreciated band playing in the corner of a dive bar. But the Larry-Magic duo cranked up the volume, turned up the lights, and suddenly, the NBA wasn't on the sidelines, it was the headline act. Bird's role in this revitalization should be etched in basketball history.

"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." - Pat Riley
Facts!
Great quote
That means a lot coming from a lifetime Celtics hater.
Bird played the game as well as it can be played. He was beautiful to watch , he made you feel the spirit of the game.
Larry Bird seem like he play a step ahead. Always had the angles and dissect the court to his advantage. Now that is a great player..
As a Cavs fan MJ and Bird both ripped my heart out.
They love to say he wasn't athletic - was Magic athletic? Show me the 6'9" guy that was all over the court all day doing everything. "They love to say he talked trash. If you back it up IT AINT TRASH! It's called calling it - and often in your face! They just hate to admit how great Larry was - which is pathetic bc he made the game so great for so many afterwards who can't hold a candle to him. .
Larry legend is my all time favorite being from Indiana bud Dominque Wilkins is one of the classy people I have seen in any sport! Much respect to you sir
He is one of the best to play the game
The Fucking Legend
Larry is the one true Goat
My mother's favorite, rip Kay.
Why did you show his rich-man-in-the-NBA house when you talked about his humble beginning? Hilarious. You also didn't show the fall that hurt his back as you were talking about it, but other than those two editing slips, this video is flat out excellent. Thanks for sharing it. Larry is still the GOAT!
Bird hurt his back putting in a cement driveway at his or his mom's home. Not on the bb court as you claim. He's such a blue collar man that he was doing alot of that back breaking himself. He would continually strain his back after that on the court.
In college and early in the pro's, Larry had a respectable 30 in. vertical.
Bird's skills were like a master mechanic with a complete spectrum of tools. He would pull out and use the exact tool (skill set) needed to win. As the complete saying goes, "A jack of all trades is better than a master of one."
Bird, Larry Ledgend.
Went to college in Tulsa. Indiana State was in our conference. Tulsa was horrible back then in ‘78 but we would go to see Bird.
Now that is respect.
That pass at 3:50
True GOAT
Larry did have great numbers in many seasons but his intangibles (can't think of another single word) were what made him magical. His teams just looked to him for their identity and will to win. He had an unreal control over his teams and over opponents in the mental realm.
Intangibles is a great pick, really.
I suppose we could use "unquantifiable off-ball factors" to make it a little clearer for some not as familiar with English.
I believe intangibles in the way you're suggesting it effectively comes down to those things he did that weren't directly to do with handling the ball or defending. Importantly, as you said, they're things that can't readily be measured, too, which is why I think "intangibles" is a great single word pick.
Cheers
I’ve watched a lot of Larry Bird videos I have never seen this
I love isais tone of voice when he says, “you ain’t got no brothers” ?
10:21 passes to himself off the backboard.
I couldn't believe that when I saw it.
Goat should be broken down by the decade.
Basketball Jesus not White Jesus.
Maybe best 5 on 5 player ever,bos fan
As I thought. He is a chess player. I am a chess player. Not like some of you who play everyday. But I play here and their. It truly is not really about beating the other guy, it is about, how are you gonna make your next move. The timer chess game is great to. Thinking fast. Everyday you will be making a chess move in your day. So don’t tailgate.
Larry Bird vs Michael Jordan all-time: 23-11. When Bird retired, MJ said, "Good riddance Larry, I'm glad to see you go. You've ruined some of my best games."
Bird was the only man in NBA history to shoot better than 50-40-90 four straight years while averaging over 28 PPG.
And that's not counting the double digit career rebounding and being the best passing forward in history.
Celts go from 29 wins before his rookie year to 61 wins his rookie year and there was no Parish, McKale, DJ, or Ainge on that team, just the same guys who won only 29 plus Larry Bird.
Greatest one year win improvement by ANY team in NBA history and it came because of the addition of a rookie.
It proved that Bird carrying a bunch of no-name players at Indiana State to a undefeated season, slaying one giant after another during March madness until that 1979 NCAA championship game was no fluke.
What he did at sad sack Indiana State has never been repeated and what he did his rookie year at (then) sad sack Boston has never been repeated.
There is a reason for that, a very precise reason...BECAUSE NO ONE SINCE HAS BEEN AS GOOD AS BIRD AND THEREFORE COULDN'T DO THOSE THINGS AND DIDN'T DO THOSE THINGS.
You will never see another Larry Joe Bird.
I saw a lot of Larry and it's all true. He was something else kids! It could do it all but most especially he was a winner!
Larry bird was my favorite player to watch.
Larry's first year with the celtics wasn't exactly without any other talent. Yes, he improved the team, but there were already other hall of fame players there. The big change was the NEXT year, when Kevin McHale and Robert Parish arrived to for the most formidable front court for the 1980's.
thing is too besides crappy medical .. it was no blood no foul in those games. They were played so hard you can see the blood on the shirts .. Now it's like if a butterfly touches your jersey it's a foul. NBA is boring AF now why I watch Hockey (also with high rez you can see the puck)
Tell it Isiah!
No matter what he is one of the best
Bird knew how to win and he did.
I don't know what any players stats are, all i know is that anybdody who played basketball against prime time Larry Bird would have every reason to panic like you wouldn't beleive, if he dominated Dr, J every time he played against him what makes he couldn't use his basketball intelligence to school Lebron, especially in the post season where Lebron chocked many times, watching clips of Bird play speaks entirely for itself.
What is "chocked"?
Is A1
Mr. Sports left out why Bird was picky as 6th overall. He failed to mention that teams didn't want to take the chance and wait another year for Bird to complete his senior year in college in 79, which is what Bird did.
In the 4th quarter, Larry Bird has no equal.
The GOAT debate for his era is for the first 3 quarters.
💯
Larry is the GOAT. LeBiotch isn't even top 10.
He is better than LeBalco.😁
And all the time, i thought jesus was from haight-ashbury! Hahaha
Jesus was the King of Kings.....remember that LeBron!
By the way. MAGIC CAN PLAY IN ANY ERA.! HIS GAME TODAY , ALONG WITH BIRD .. WOULD DEMOLISH THE NBA TODAY. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.!!!!
Hang on, now. When Bird was drafted, he still had one year of college eligibility left. And he made it very clear that he was going to play it. The other teams that didn't draft him didn't want to take the risk that they would draft him and he wouldn't sign. Of COURSE it was a big risk for Red. But that was Red.
Jump high? Look at him. First, he's 6'10" easily. Next, look how many times his height advantaged him.
Julius saved the league. (Just as he'd sustained the ABA.) But Larry and Magic re-created the league.
The GOAT? No. Sorry, Michael, but that is Wilt. But the most talented player? Duh.
LeBrick did not play against Bird, so his opinion means squat. LeBron likely starting watching the NBA after Bird retired.
Because vcr's didn't exist?
@@RLSmith-jt8qj , LeBrick was 6 when Bird retired.
@@slshusker cool. Do you know what a vcr is? It means you can watch pre recorded games from before you were born. Like many of us did.
@RLSmith-jt8qj , Child please. Are you a bot? Based on age, LeBron would watch games on TH-cam, not on a VCR. Who has a library of NBA games specifically of Bird on VCR tapes? Your argument is weak at best.
@@slshusker all the men in my family recorded nationally televised and regional sports games. For some reason you think recording TV programs is far fetched. You must be 16.
"Baden" is pronouced Bah-den
How racist was that statement?
JUST A BALL PLAYER!SAYING JESUS CHRIST'S MOST HOLY NAME IN VAIN !
hurt your feefees?
Jesus was white, so Bird was Jesus, is that what it is ?
"He had skin of bronze and hair of wool..." Revelation Jesus was not white...
And he was white@@chrispaschal7955
Jesus was Hebrew, Israel was medium est etnic people.
If Bird was arrogant as so many are. He would dominate the stats. He was not arrogant, he was not greedy, he shared his greatness with his team. He was all about the game not the glory. Just imagine what he would have done had he been an ahole and only thought of himself. No one, not even now could have caught up to him. But he was not like that. He was all about the game he LOVED...nothing else. He is the greatest!!!!
Well said!
does it always have to have a racial component?
Took MJ 7 years to win a title with Bird in the league. MJ never won a playoff game against LJB and was swept TWICE. In Bird's first 6 years he won Rookie of the Year, Three Titles, 2 finals mvps, and 3 straight league MVPs (all with Jordan in the league). He is without a doubt my 1st pick ALWAYS on my all time team.
Why da F#%@ u have Lebronze thumbnail. Click bait
Jesus id white
no need to say "white' Jesus. just say jesus
Jesus was a hebrew jew
He was a great basketball player but jesus this and that is stupid
Only one ☝🏻 JESUS
As opposed to the black Jesus?¿?
have you seen white people in the middle east 2000 years ago?
No man on this planet should ever be called Jesus. King of Kings and judge who will make the final decision of whether you spend eternity in heaven or hell. Do not compare no man to Jesus.
AMEN!
Larry nor Michael should be referred to as Jesus. There is only one Jesus.
Yeah, and he's imaginary.
@@davidohara7669nasty ass!
Jesus is White Jesus LeBron. Whats wrong with you??
Larry bird was the only Caucasian ballplayer to hang with the African-American ball players…. Who am I opinion the African-American ball players reinventing basketball the way it is today.
GOAT Bird did everything better
White Jesus ? I mean Jesus was white. That's like saying water is wet
Jesus wasn’t white. White Christians made him white. He was born in the Middle East, had darker skin tone, and brown hair.
