Larry Bird, one of the most legendary figures in basketball history, is renowned for his incredible moments on the court. Here are some of his greatest moments:
1. **The 1984 NBA Finals**: Bird led the Boston Celtics to a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, earning Finals MVP honors. His performance, highlighted by his leadership and clutch plays, solidified his reputation as a clutch player.
2. **Back-to-Back MVP Awards (1984-1986)**: Bird won three consecutive NBA MVP awards, a testament to his dominance in the league. His versatile play, including scoring, passing, and rebounding, made him a complete player.
3. **1985 Eastern Conference Semifinals, Game 5**: Known as the "Heat Game," Bird scored 34 points and grabbed 17 rebounds despite playing in sweltering heat and battling dehydration, leading the Celtics to a crucial victory.
4. **The Steal Against the Pistons (1987)**: In the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals, Bird made a legendary steal in Game 5, intercepting an inbound pass and assisting Dennis Johnson for a game-winning layup, a play etched in NBA history.
5. **Career-High 60 Points (1985)**: Bird scored a career-high 60 points against the Atlanta Hawks, showcasing his scoring prowess and ability to take over a game single-handedly.
6. **Three-Point Contest Wins**: Bird won the first three NBA Three-Point Contests (1986, 1987, and 1988), famously raising his finger in victory before his final shot even went in during the 1988 contest, epitomizing his confidence and shooting skill.
Larry Bird's career is filled with remarkable moments that highlight his competitiveness, skill, and unyielding determination, cementing his legacy as one of basketball's all-time greats. - บันเทิง
Bird, best of all time.
BIRD 🐐
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
And WELCOME BACK!
Appreciate the love
There are old clips of Bird playing in high school and college and they are crazy - he had the exact same game even as a kid! Great passing and weird leaning shots.
"I always knew how good I was" lol He sure did!
IQ, creativity: 1. Bird, 2. Magic.
I think the players today stay in their main roles, instead of doing everything they can to win. Bird always thought about how he would deal with certain defenders, what kind of shots he neded, etc. He was not a selfish player. He always looked for better shots. They knew what each teammate could do. Larry and Jordan are also good friends now.
If you weren't a Celtic fan, most of us didn't even think about Bird! We concentrated on our team. Bad boys! I watched the games back then and I'm shocked. . absolutely shocked at all I've learned about Bird during these videos. And kick myself now for not paying attention
I hate the Luka and Larry comparisons because Luka does not play defense...his awareness isn't great and his handles arent all that. He is an offensive player who is out of shape for a 25 yo NBA player. Larry was a complete player not like Luka at all
Facts
I recently saw an old interview and this is how Bird rated himself: Defense - Average, Passing - Good, Decoy - Great. Glad to see you back!
Today's basketball is all about doing whatever it takes to make the highlight reel.
The Hawks bench knew they were witnessing history + many of the shots Bird was sinking were utterly ridiculous.
Glad you are back and I totally agree about play on the defensive end. As a long time fan of Bird let me reiterate that Bird in the 1983 season finished tied for 3rd place for the DPOY award!!! Bird was on 3 all defensive teams ( 2nd team) and led the league in defensive win shares 4 times. Bird was also 7 times in the top 5 in DWS!!! Bird was once 2nd in DRTG and was 6 times in the top 10 in DRTG. Bird was not the same player after his dual heel surgery and back issues but during his first 9 seasons in the NBA was as good as we have ever seen!!
Them guys got fined $3000 each for celebrating Bird...Eddie Johnson said "I would have have paid $5000 for a front row seat to that show"
ok good one Solid, and yrs, Dr. J. is an immortal...I am a huge Bird fan but as a kid Dr. J was my first favorite player, that guy was in a league of his own comin up, his all around play and especially his high flyin game were awesome...the red white and blue ball in the ABA, the big fro and giant habds and wingspan, and such a class act...under rated as an all around player and tough as nails.. ok keep it up, and oh yeah- LARRY LEGEND IS THE REAL GOAT!
Bird's my GOAT, but yes Dr J deserves more love.
Youre right, its headed back downhill where it was before bird and magic brought the league back
Get after it!
14:00 yes! so true.
If the ABA never existed and The Doctor went straight to the NBA, his GOAT status would be top ten!
Dr J was my favorite player after Clyde retired. The late news/sports on local NY tv was a Dr J highlight reel. Didn't realize the magnitude of Bird's greatness until much later.
In the 80’s it was Bird, Magic and then Everyone Else. That includes MJ.
When Naismith invented the game of basketball, half of the game was playing defense! And the game was much, much better for it! I can’t watch whatever you want to call what we have today.
I've watched a few of your videos and you've always had a good take on things. Finding out you're doing this full time now was enough to get me finally get me to subscribe. Keep up the good work, and good luck to you man.
Haha the portrait!
I think at the end he was saying players were "haunted" by the idea of playing Bird, and not so much the other guys. It actually was not insulting Bird.
I like the way you do reviews. When you stop the footage, you have something insightful to say.
Solid. I agree with you about the defense. That is what made LARRY LEGEND so great. His defense.... so, so underrated
Great commentary regarding Larry Legend. Glad to see you back at it bro!
Much appreciated
Yes, Bro.. so glad you're back and YES! DR. J is the Bomb as well.... Let's talk him up.. he well deserves it... Man, I've really appreciated your thoughts a lot lately.. you're based A-OK with common sense, not delusional like Cowboy fans... keep up that sane thinking, it's fair thoughts.
I agree with you on defense. You have to at least give 100%.
He wasn't being disrespect of Bird, he was saying how great those other players were, but they were not feared by other great players like Bird was. Bird doesn't get the credit he deserves, but part of that was because he didn't want publicity he just wanted to win. He once told a reporter he didn't care what he wrote because he didn't read it. It's the players that are great and enjoy talking to the media that people tend to talk about.
Fam!!! Welcome back! People won't agree with me but I say Reese= Birds personality Clark= Magics personality!
Nope. You have to remember that we never heard his smack talk. He was always very calm and fair in interviews.
I agree with your assessment. Defence is an equally important aspect of the game!
I agree with you that defensive skill just has to be there if you are talking about someone as "great". It's a 2 part game.
Thank you I appreciate it
Nick Smith did a video on that Hawks game. If you want to know what the guys on the bench were thinking react to that.
Solid so happy to see you back. I enjoy your take . If you like defense watch a new up and coming player who reclassified and is going to duke. Watch Cooper Flagg Highlights. He is from a small town in Maine. Back on Bird he is my favorite player of all times. It never ceases to amaze me that new videos come out all the time with more players coming out with bird stories. I will continue to to watch your videos to support your channel! Great reaction ❤
The Hawks started out in Illinois and were named the Blackhawks, like the hockey team. They shortened it to the Hawks when they moved to St. Louis.
Bird was very dangerous whether he had the ball, or not, but was a terror when he had the ball and got a little hot, which he did pretty often. I think those characteristics, with his complete game, and his "clutch play" during the last few seconds of a close game, were what set him apart, to some degree.
I love your video idea
I appreciate it
Dr. J was called DR. Chapstick, in a Chapstick commercial, of his. Believe it, or don't. He had some branding and was The Man in the NBA and ABA in the 70s.
Maravich was the king of creativity.
GOAT means greatest of all time. Can only be 1 . 72 years of NBA history
I agree about Dr. J not getting more recognition for his due in the NBA he was the reason during the seventies I got more into the game. I think during that era what hurt the league was the reported rampant drug use through out the league that truly damaged the image of the league.
The dudes on the bench for Atlanta cheering for bird were the starters and 2nd string guys that already got torched and told about it before hand and were hearing what bird said from the bench and responding to the results a s honestly most players would laugh at something so crazy like that happening to them at the highest level because damn what the hell are can you do but laugh when it happens to you and everyone else and you already know its going to happen because he has done it like.20 times already that night
Angel Reese puts up nothing but bricks from what i have seen
Dr. J was my favorite player in the 70s. But when he did that punk move, hitting Bird while he was being held by Barkley and Malone ended that.
I think most real hoop fans know what Dr.J was, he was the flash, the stylized, before what was to come. I think also he’s one c of the most recognizable names in the sport amongst just random people, ball fans or not, one of the original ball pop icons. It’s hard to compare aba and nba. While the aba may cost him in nba stats, I think it grew legend as flash, stylized. On a personal note, I believe George Gervin to be one of the most underrated players that doesn’t get paid his dues.
Dr J …was incredible and Larry Legend didn’t say that according to Larry,it was over a previous non foul call
yea, clark/reese could change wnba like bird/johnson did for the nba in the early 80's
Not what he meant by haunted. They had sleepless nights worrying about being part of Bird's highlight reel.
Defense, the Knicks (Mason/Oakley) and Pacers (Davis/Davis). those were match ups.
(3:20) If you check the stats you'll find Clark is 19th in rebounds, 16th in blocks and 17th in steals, and this is for the entire league not just the rookies, plus all this with just the 1st 22 games . If you're claiming she's been unable to stop the veterans she's been assigned to that's one thing but to claim she doesn't play defense is simply inaccurate. She needs to learn defense which is the hardest part of basketball, give her some time!
Doc was great, but even James Worthy chose Bird over Doc when made to pick.
I know I’m just say doc deserves a lot love he don’t get
@@XXXSolid I agree like Bird his demeanor off the court was subdued, so maybe that's why? because he definitely should be talked about how great he was
Larry Bird is the only person to be named Rookie of the Year, league MVP (3x), Finals MVP (2x), Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year. His only "negative" was that his career was cut short by a back injury, and he missed a season with a foot injury, so he didn't get the chance to amass the career numbers of LeBron, or Michael.
And to your question, no, nobody disrespected Larry Bird during his time. It was Bird and Magic at the top, and everyone else under them, until Jordan came into his own. 80s basketball was Bird, Magic, and Jordan. Period.
Bobby Knight was all about his system..and in defense of Coach Knight, his system worked. If you played for him, you were a cog in that system. Bird wouldn't have had a problem with that. Jordan got along fine with Knight when he played for him on the 84 Olympic team.
Dr. J was the original MJ.
Right on! I have been saying the same thing, as far as BB becoming boring, with all of the three point shots, and not much else, for well over 5 years. The NBA is pitiful, now. It is pretty much full of narcissists and greed, management, on down.
U do the best larry bird reactions,check out Kemp latest speaking on larry bird
Dr J was air Jordan before Jordan. He could hang in the air forever
Media will keep the NBA going. The young fans are being deceived.
He said they feared him not disrespect
New fans is great for wnba they do not need to learn the boring history of it.
I think you missed something around 25:13 of your video. The players on the right like Duncan were respected players by opposing teams. In Larry's case, players were "HAUNTED" by Larry. It's not that other players disrespected him, Larry would give them nightmares.
I enjoy your videos because of your basketball knowledge. And I do agree with you Bird was simply great. Have a good day Solid. And nay God bless you and your family.
Except, Caitlyn recentlybarely achieved a triple double?
I thought this was a Bird video. Maybe if I tap a Clark video I’ll get a Larry.
And react to legendary stories revealed with Paul Rodgers
(4:46) The comparison between Magic and bird and Clark & Reese is only surface level, mainly black and white. Bird and Johnson were virtually on the same skill level for all of the basketball prerequisites, this is not the same with Clark and Reese. Reese is a monster rebounder and solid scorer but Clark is the all around best player on the court. As for Championships, that says more about the team they are on because it takes teams to win Championships.
When I said being a Coach to let someone be themselves if it's working maybe a game or two but the bottom line year the coach you run my system otherwise what's the hell of the point of drawing up plaus
Is this about LB or the WNBA?
And yes Dr j deserves his flowers. There are a bunch of players from that Great era that deserve more credit. What's the sad thing is I think the NBA died after Kobe retired. Kobe's era was the last decent era.
Did you watch the Celtics win the final. What the fuck were they doing?
You have know clue . Most of your comments 😅
I'm A Woman And I Have NO Interest In WNBA. And For Last 20 To For Sure Last 10 Years. It's Really Got Hard To Watch The NBA. They Really Need To Re-Name This NBA-Franchise. Comon They Aren't Playing BB Out There. It's Like The Players Just Take Turns Shooting A 3 OR Slam Dunking. You Don't Have To Think Or Outthink Anyone Or Have Any Wit Playing. And If A Team Couldn't Make It Worse; They Hire LeFlop's Buddy JJ And Then Bend A Knee AGAIN To LeFlop On Drafting His Son Bronny. What Another Joke To Happen For The NBA-Franchise's. Yes, It Would Be Nice To See Dr J., He Was The First Highflyer. But I Will Say It Kinda P*sses Me Off When I See Reactor's Think That Was So COOL Of Dr J., Hitting Bird While 2 Of His Teammates Hold Larry & Holding Him Around His Neck. That's The Only Time I Ever Looked At Dr J. Different. And Still To This Day HE Has Never Omitted On How Wrong He Was. Don't Get Wrong They Do Still Respect Each Other, BUT Not Over That Time. Also I Have Missed You @Solid, Glad To See You Back.
I agree. It seems rigged almost.
I like Angel and Caitlyn both but Angel doesn't have the BB I.Q.
You misinterpreted the comparison between James. CURRY ECT.... He said they feared Bird!!!
Maybe his wife gave it to him, or the Hawks organization, and there for a treasured keepsake. like all the trophies people have in their office. If his wife put it there, maybe he goes by the saying, HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE.
He was a beast, but once again his work ethic was top knotch. If you want it spend the 10k hours to master it. Jordan had the gift and worked his tail off, that's why he was so much better than his piers. LeBron is the most physically gifted athlete ever, but he didn't have to work for it. He's easily distracted by politics and self perceived victimhood. That's why he's the biggest choke artist in NBA history.
I would rather watch local high school basketball than the wnba but with that being said Caitlin clark should have took the deal e
With the big 3 and ice cube for 10 million 2 year deal and would have still been able to play in the wnba for what her like 750k contract. Her agent is stupid. Lol
Lol that big portrait. Michael Jackson had all kinds of fancy art of himself in his homes. Very narcissistic. But that love of self got them very far. 😅
I didn't click this video to talk about Caitlyn Clark..no disrespect to her,,,but,,that's not why I wanted to watch this!!!!! And,,so far,,, that's all that It has been about..She hasn't even played one full season.. let's get real..
All the players he listed with multiple MVP awards are top 10 . Far above LeBron. By the way Kareem has 6 .
Lmao you really don’t know what you’re talking about do you. You do realize even through Dr. Js prime is when the NBA was tanking and doing its worst and going under, right
NBA is boring now. Not like the late 80s to late 90s basketball
You talk to much
Thank you for watching
