What I love about you veterans telling these Bird stories is; you guys played your hearts out, and you were really having a good time! God bless you all. Those were the days!
One of the greatest coach's of the game(Pat Riley)once said "If I have to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan...If I have to choose a player to take a shot to save my life... I'd take Larry Bird!". Bird was a masterful basketball player. His game is ageless. And on top of that, he is the best trash talker in the history of the game and beyond, and he baked up each and every time. Bird is the Muhammed Ali of basketball.
The Phoenix story to me is one of the all-time greats not only did he hit a three off one leg and all net. He turned to the bench pointed to them to say I told yall and then they gave him five.
Now I was born in Detroit Michigan but Larry Bird was just my favorite player, and when I was going to the Gym I was going to take a big chance by wearing A Larry Bird T-shirt, and playing with all the black players who are Pistons fans but I still had the T-shirt on anyways, and when I was younger in the 90's I had a 19 foot jump shot, but all the guys were saying get him he has a good jump shot so that's when I felt safe, but other than that I have always been a Larry Bird fan.
I started watching the Celtics when Bird started playing. I just remembered saying what? That's when I started taping Celtics games. I've yet to see any other player in hx laying on the sidelines because his back was that bad. Anyone else would have hired some to do his mom's driveway but not Larry.
I read Larry was going to retire when Len Bias was drafted because his back hurt so bad fixing his Mother driveway during off season until Bias did the terminal act of killing himself by taking drugs In that final selfish act. Bias was so talented!! Bird was legend. 😊
A lot of amazing stories and Coach Jones was an amazing one, but Bill Walton's is one of the best and most insperational quotes I have ever heard - BAD BEHIND 2!!! Coming from a man who once had a speech inpediment, but now speaks with a clear destinction - He is my favorite in game announcer.
Larry Bird was the man that in 1985 and 86 me and my husband he was with the Lakers and I was with the Celtics I used to say ding ding ding say one more time he said. Lol
The ONLY person from Indiana that can argue basketball fame with Larry Bird is John Wooten. All due respect to Mel and Oscar (Reggie and Isiah were not FROM Indiana but would still be here if they were), you are arguing it out for 3'd.
Saley has a shirt that says no human is illegal..what does that even mean? Does he have a locks on the doors to his home? Yes because that's his home,you just don't let any person wonder on in. Just like a country is defined by its borders and you just can have a free for all..Aside from that Bird was a legend
I’ve said this on numerous occasions, I’ll take prime Bird over prime LeBron any day, and I’m not a LeBron hater, when it comes to athleticism LeBron has Bird beat but when it comes to being clutch at the most pivotal moment of a game, that includes hitting free throws, I’m taking Bird every time, but MJ is the GOAT and the only other player you can put in that debate is Kareem 😉
These two clowns who host this show were the ones who said Eminem don’t be played by players before games and in the club and Lebron goes on to play Eminem before games 😂😂😂
Granted, I'm only half way thru, but prob won't get the second half.....stories you've never heard? Halfway thru and its literally the same exact stories that every other vid has. Get real.
Why did you RUIN these great stories by overlaying music!? You are NOT creative. We don't need the music, it's a goddamn distraction and dilutes the audio. Awful.
Sally . Sally . Mark Price.. Well, embarrassing: I remember I was in elevator of Woodruff dorm. In the elevator, after we all pushed floor buttons ( i think 3 was max), this guy was so tall, and I said " you must be a "basketball" player!!. I swear I did NOT know who he was and he was 2nd year of the school.. With the response, he did look and watched me with "indifference" , emotionless,, in fact, i was kind of "embarrassed" because of his non-responsiveness.!! Dang, I could have (should have) gotten his Auto!!! (yeah, so stupid,,,. to tell you the truth, i did not know who Mark Price was either till later years..!!). I was .. basically .. struggling academically and make an ends to meet to live those days...,. Eventually I realized who Sally was in my 4th year!! One thing for sure, he knew how to communicate and mingle .. except at the "elevator". Sally,,, I've respected the way you played !!! and that I met you at the elevator!!! Thanks

Bird was one of the greatest ballers in the last 50 years, still good to watch him play, just brilliantly perfect when pain free.❤❤❤❤❤❤
What I love about you veterans telling these Bird stories is; you guys played your hearts out, and you were really having a good time! God bless you all. Those were the days!
All the Bird stories are great. But the final one with the ref, "we're not quitting! Make sure you don't either." This one speaks volumes.
Great motivational speech line😊
@@Ronald-hx6zn My favorite ever!!!!
I can't get enough of these stories

Don't care he was white, don't care he was the "Hick of French Lick" either. Game knew game in '82, Game knows Game now! Larry Legend❤😊🎉😂
It's never arrogance or trash talking when you can back it up.. Larry Legend could back it up
Yes he could 😊
Nah it's still arrogance and trash talking even if could back it up.
@@puppethound That’s confidence.
@@MulletMan7-nw9kz
Larry the g.o.a.t !!! They couldn't play with him today. The players aren't bad. It's Larry was that good
i had to watch the shawn kemp interview twice… just to watch him remember that night. great recognizing great. true greatness is never petty. ☮️❤️🌍🌏🌎
These are NBA professionals. Love these stories.
We did not need a plane to get home that night! 😅
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
The stories are endless with this guy. My favorite his him being totally serious and saying he felt disrespected being guarded by a White man.😂
Salley is a hilarious guy with a great personality. I love listening to his stories. He has one about Mike Tyson showing up to a game as well.
“It’s gonna be a fucked up night for you” I fell out of my chair.
That night Larry had a triple double..40pts 11rbs 10ast
THE BEST 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"i'm gonna pump fake you. your dumbass is gonna go for it." --- jeeez that's cold😂😂
Cold? Or cool?
Larry Bird, the king of trash talking.
🎉😂❤😊
Always loved watching Bird play, especially against the Lakers watching Majic Johnson.
These guys loved the game.
😂😂😂😂I was so happy he call me piece of $#%^t ! 😂😂😂😂 was larry ! 😂😂😂 I love this guys respect each other and enjoy the game .
It’s Dominique to the World.
To Bird it’s Holmes. 😂🤣
The Phoenix story to me is one of the all-time greats not only did he hit a three off one leg and all net. He turned to the bench pointed to them to say I told yall and then they gave him five.
John’s story is one of the best! Mouse in the house 😂

Walton was Larry Legend's BIGGEST fan ............. noted but, HE IS RIGHT in saying all the rhetoric that defined Bird =G.O.A.T.
So entertaining positive stories. ❤
RIP Walton. What a human.
It's nice to see Nique starting to age....was starting to think he''s a warlock.....
That last story was so dope
That's a amazing swing to bring those 3 players at 1 time to a franchise
Len Bias would have been a special pro. What a stupid mistake & waste of a wonderful life.......What could've been.

Bias was so talented!!
Bird was legend. 😊
The Casey Jones drinking 3 beers at half time if my all time favorite basketball story ever. Larry Bird is one of the baddest ever.
Larry was talkin' big DOOKY,
I'm finna rewind this video and watch it again. LOL.
The Hick from French Lick will always be in my Top 5 list.....ALWAYS!!!!!
A lot of amazing stories and Coach Jones was an amazing one, but Bill Walton's is one of the best and most insperational quotes I have ever heard - BAD BEHIND 2!!!
Coming from a man who once had a speech inpediment, but now speaks with a clear destinction - He is my favorite in game announcer.
I wish I knew about all Larry's trash talk when he was playing. It would have been much more entertaining lol
Larry Bird was the man that in 1985 and 86 me and my husband he was with the Lakers and I was with the Celtics I used to say ding ding ding say one more time he said. Lol
Bird did put up 40 that night but Kemp only had 2 fouls. He didn't foul out.
He had a triple double and Kemp had 5 lol
Larry "LEGEND"😊
3:10
Ask Reggie Miller if the Knicks "always won" against the Pacers.
Bird is the best Celtics player ever!
❤ This
Larry Bird... the clutch.
Bill Walton. .. the crutch.
alway saw Bill at GD shows backstage on crutches. ♡.
TRUTH!
Ending with Walton 😢❤
27 seconds into this and I can't understand a single word. Next!
Bird could shoot from anywhere with either hand and tell them he was going to shoot left-handed and then hit all net or ask "which hand"
I can listen to these same stories time after time and laugh every time
The story John Sally tells about him not giving anyone 5 in the pregame and saying I ain't giving you 5 I'm giving your ass 40 tonight.
The CC could not understand what they were saying.
The ONLY person from Indiana that can argue basketball fame with Larry Bird is John Wooten.
All due respect to Mel and Oscar (Reggie and Isiah were not FROM Indiana but would still be here if they were), you are arguing it out for 3'd.
All these greats have all these stories. They all ended the same. I'm better than you!!😂😂😂
WHAT!!
80s 90s best
The days of plumbers and firemen, aka, real men
Larry Bird was Eminem of the nba.
If you can backup what you say, it's not called talking shit. It's called skills dat pay da bills.
Jamal Mashburn's story on Larry kicked Rodney Rogers' ass up on the Dream Team scrimmage was the one for me...
I only know old KC Jones
can you imagine what he would have done healthy
The man walked on water!!!
Saley has a shirt that says no human is illegal..what does that even mean? Does he have a locks on the doors to his home? Yes because that's his home,you just don't let any person wonder on in.

Well if you want the lower class to have no power you need them to be many so the laws of supply and demand allow them to be treated as disposable.
The Real GOAY
WHAT IF CAITLIN AND LARRY HAD A BABY???
LBird is on my Mt Rushmore of greatest ever and #2 on my list just behind Wilt. MJ #3

Racism, what racism? When you get involved with individuals like this, you become close. Theirs noting like the Magic and Celtics, back in the day.
Is this in English?
I am the great I am now what 👀😇

A GREAT collection.
magic man and his next in line leebraun voted for harris. They should stick to BB.
Why did you RUIN these great stories by overlaying music!? You are NOT creative. We don't need the music, it's a goddamn distraction and dilutes the audio. Awful.
Way too many ads. Easy thumbs down.
Làbron would NEVER survive in this era! Period! Thats only some players who were great in their own right!
