James Worthy said "I'd much rather guard Michael Jordan than Larry Bird. Jordan made you look slow, but Bird made you look stupid."
Agree! And a different "looking stupid" than Jordan, as MJ would torch everybody and they would just shake their head and think "nothing I can do against Mike", but with Larry, I bet it was more like "how the did I let Larry do that to me...again?"
Even Jordan referred to Bird as the best small forward who ever played in the NBA, didn't say it until after Bird retired.
Pat Riley said "one shot to win a game, I'll take Jordan; one shot to save my life, I'll take Bird!"
Mike Cooper also said Bird was harder to guard than Jordan because Bird was more dangerous when he didn’t have the ball.
@@williamcahill2462 lol that's Riley saying Bird was a killer
When Larry came back after hitting his face on the floor, he played the rest of the game with a fractured right cheekbone and a concussion, but Larry had the heart of a lion and would not let his team lose if he could do anything at all about it. Youve only scratched the surface on Larry, theres SO much more - they way he would trash talk, telling the opposing players where and how he was going to score on them - and then DO IT virtually every time. His passing was something else, his assists, and he did most of this the last part of his career with a really bad back. The videos all tell the stories and theres a lot of stories which are even told by other hall of famers so you can believe every word of it. Larry Bird is a bonafide LEGEND and one of the top GOATS in NBA history
Larry was said to have double vision for a while as well.
We may have to thank Kevin McHale a bit s a bad (good!) influence for the sheer amount of Larry's trash-talking, as I think other NBA greats have said Kevin would trash talk everybody too, and even Larry as well and that just made Bird more motivated.
@@afgcinc7206 sounds legit to me.
@@paladinminipedro707 -- yes he did, sorry I left that out.
@@yambo59 dont be sorry...i was wondering if it was true. everyone is human and as such we are subject to being wrong from time to time 🙂
I never thought about that distinction... He DID talk trash and say what he was GONNA DO and MJ would talk after what he did. Larry was a beast!
Bird and Magic were Unicorns. Nothing like them since.
Nothing? I have one word to say to you in response to that. Luka Doncic.
He won three 3 point contests in a row. Also 3 league mvp in a row and was 2nd in voting a couple more times. Also averaged double digit rebounds and almost 2 steals a game fore his career. Also made all defensive teams. Three times I believe. His passing is off the charts. His fakes work so well because he was anelite shooter and passer. Also had people in no man's land. Need to check out Larry bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit. AMAZING!!!!! Also his trash talk video.
2nd in the voting either 4 or 5 times.
I think it was Kevin Mchale that said he didn't understand why players fell for Birds "eighth grade head fake.
".
That is what made Larry so tough, you didn't know what in the hell the man was going to do. Same exact situation and he could do any number of different things.
ONE OF A KIND...THEY DON'T HAVE BIRDS LIKE HIM❤
What's nuts is how close Bird and Johnson are still to this day... that friendship was forged in war on the court.
Because they have great respect for each other!!!
Why is that nuts?
At the first you asked about Bird vs Jordan trash talking. Jordan said this: “Everything I ever learned about getting inside folks’ heads I learned from Bird.”
Jordan learned a lot more than that from Bird..
@@alanduff1054 Toughness and leadership.
@@alexdrakeus1772 And BEST SHOOTER until this Steph creature....
MJ said he learned everything about trash talking and getting in people's heads from the best Larry Legend
Larry Bird was NOT a trash talker..
Legend was a truth talker, its a difference.😎
At 14:19 this is what Dominique Wilkins meant when he said, “Looking into Larry Bird’s eyes is like looking into the eyes of an assassin.”
Hey nobody can ever say Bird didn't play anybody. That 4th quarter duel vs. Dominique is still legendary - Wilkins should be in more conversations he was a monster.
You are the first to notice that Larry wasn’t slow getting his own rebound. He also wasn’t slow stealing Isiah’s pass.
He was as slow as a hiccup...
yeah he was slow...he just had crazy quick instincts and reactions
@@mikee702 I see. Yes, I think there is a difference between being quick and being fast. He didn’t need to be fast with all of those full-court passes he threw.
@@dutchtea8354 i mean thinking and reacting really fast to compensate for his lack of athleticism
He was only slow going up and down court but his passes, defensive plays, rebounding and moves to create a shot were QUICK... And even IF Bird was so slow, you were FORCED to slow down with him because it was nothing you could do about WHATEVER he wanted to do....
It always amazes me to see young guys reviewing Larry Bird. Many people forget that when Bird came into the league they didn't think he could make it in the NBA. Magic's friends would ask him if Larry was really that good. Magic has said that Larry was the only player he feared. Pat Riley said if the game was on the line he'd want Jordan to take the shot but if his life were on the line he would want Larry to take the shot!
I love that quote and he's not popular with celtics fan.
Pat Riley's comment is one of my all-time favorite sports quotes ever. But... if the clock is almost zero, I'd still risk my life on MJ
@@kevinhegwood615 over BIRD??? Wow... you don't like life much huh... :)
@@alanduff1054 dude, saw MJ hit too many clutch shots as a Chicagoan, (and yes I got to see Larry Legend before his back issues) I would NEVER bet against Jordan
@@kevinhegwood615 I wouldn't bet against Jordan either unless he was playing against BIRD... Jordan NEVER beat Bird.. NEVER.. and in each of those games Bird had an OVERALL better INDIVIDUAL performance...
Larry had a concussion and was suffering from double vision when he returned to the game against the Pacers! Legend!
Jordan admits that he learned how to trash talk from Bird…
So with SUCH a MASSIVE ego and he admitted THAT, imagine what else he learned from Bird...
Larry Bird was the most clutch player ever, followed closely by Jordan. Then a bunch of space, and then everybody else.
AGREED... I don't know HOW they just give Mr. Clutch to Jordan...
"Larry bird Almost Makes A Player Commit Suicide"...you will bust a hernia laughing
Bird was also 23-11 against Jordan all time, including a 6-0 record against Jordan in the playoffs. And if that were not enough, here is a Bird game winner in Jordan and Pippen's face: th-cam.com/video/JAos_lOc90o/w-d-xo.html
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN & MY TRUE GOAT 🐐
BIRD GOAT...
Bird won 3 straight 3pt contest, won 3 straight MVP's (Only 3 players have done it Wilt, Russell and Bird) won 3 rings, 2 finals MVP's and was the founding member of the 50-40-90 club. Was a under rated defender, was on the all D team multiple times and his passing was just sickening ! And when it came to being clutch his name is always listed at or near the top! Bird was a savage and one of the ones who can legit be called the GOAT.
That’s how we rolled in the 80s when basketball was a full contact sport.
The eighties was a great decade to be a fan. The stars just shined brighter back then.
Larry won not just “a” 3-pt contest - he won *the very first three* 3-pt contests *in a row* … yep ! (86, 87, 88)
His NBA accomplishments:
3× NBA champion (1981, 1984, 1986)
2× NBA Finals MVP (1984, 1986)
3× NBA Most Valuable Player (1984-1986)
12× NBA All-Star (1980-1988, 1990-1992)
NBA All-Star Game MVP (1982)
9× All-NBA First Team (1980-1988)
All-NBA Second Team (1990)
3× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (1982-1984)
NBA Rookie of the Year (1980)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (1980)
3× Three-point Shootout champion (1986-1988)
Named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996
Selected on the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021
No. 33 retired by Boston Celtics
Trophy named in Bird's honor (Larry Bird Trophy) awarded to Eastern Conference Finals MVP (established in 2022)

NBA Coach of the Year (1998)
NBA Executive of the Year (2012)
Founder of the 50-40-90 club & repeated the next year. And the Twitter bird is named in his honor.
Now that's a list of accomplishments rivaling any of other truely great players EVER!

Larry was like a white jordan with a higher basketball iq
Larry was Larry the basketball GOAT....
To answer your question about is he a worse trash talker than Michael jordan. The short answer is yes. Michael Jordan learned his trash talking skills from Larry bird. If you watch enough videos you'll see Michael Jordan say that himself.
Mike said it himself that Larry is the best trash talker ever

Great reaction. I love the respect you show for Larry Legend. 👏
This is back when the players were actually tough. Bird, Magic, Jordan, etc.... these guys played hurt. You seen the blood on the jersey. These days LeBron stubs his toe, he's out 6 games.
Mj coud'nt even do a larry bird level type of trashtalk.. only larry had the confidence and skill to do that.
What you don't get, is the best players in the NBA could not stop him. 3 League MVPs consecutove. He played against Magic Kareem Michael Isiah, and the rest of them. He was just good.
Jordan NEVER beat BIRD... NEVER
Yes. They called him Basketball Jesus. He and Magic saved the NBA from bankruptcy in the 80s. For real. I have Bird at #2 behind Jordan. And yes, Bird was a better trash talker than Jordan. Jordan has said publicly he learned how to trash talk from Larry.
I'd say that Magic and Bird saved the NBA from soccer-like obscurity with all the problems they were having post-ABA merger and put them right at the top. But Jordan then made the NBA into a social and economic empire. Not to forget the other greats but you can never take away that from those 3 guys.
BIRD was a better player and a MUCH better trash talker than Jordan EVER was....
When looking at the all-time greats describing Larry as slow and unathletic, you have to understand the context. He was a contender for being the best player in the league when he was playing, and compared to all the others in that competition, he absolutely was slow and unathletic. Think about Shaq, for example. By normal standards, Shaq is very much a skillful player and good shooter. However, if you imagine Shaq's skill in the body of the average NBA player, he would have been nowhere near the dominating force he was. He probably would have honestly been a below average player, because his skill could not have carried him to greatness on its own without his freakish power and athletic ability. Larry bird was that same idea, but reversed. He was not unathletic, but his athletic ability would not have carried him very far in the NBA if it were paired with an NBA average skill and intelligence.
ALL YOU LABRON FANS TAKE NOTICE.BIRD WAS A BAD MAN
The eighties and early 90s were by far the greatest basketball era ever...the amount of hall of fame players is unmatched....it also was when yhe league went from nothing, almost canceled, to what it is today...Bird is the GOAT....you need to react to "making the case" for Larry Bird
"Why does basketball look so lit back then?"
It WAS. I wish I was there too. I mean today's game is just more corporate, and it ain't even on the players really, it's the agents and the managers and the TV producers. A player of top tier talent doesn't get rewarded for being committed 100% to that competitive purity. It's all worry about injuries, career longevity or "your brand".
But back in the day, it was pure. And it's a vintage nobody makes anymore. It's not that the quality was so much better, but it was pure in a raw sense. Unfiltered competition.
Larry Bird suffered a severe back injury in the 80s, and went on to shut out Jordan, twice.
You reacted to the Bird highlight most people just pass by that is arguably his best highlight.
Good to see some people still know the game. Subscribed.
Bro that steal is one of the greatest plays in playoff history, conference finals game 5 tied 2-2, everyone on the court including the celtics thought it was over, except Larry, and he proved them all wrong. If he had a healthy career he wins 6-10 titles no question he was so dominant. And as for in today's nba if u put him on a team like the mavs and swap him for Luka he'd average easily 40-15-10 it would be scary playing him on a team like that.
Bird was no joke. Straight up assassin.
Sorry it is so cold where you are....summertime here....Props to you for understanding Bird was not slow. Bird went around,through and over every player that ever stood in front of him. He was quick as a hiccup and harder to stop. Anyone who thinks he was slow needs a new definition of slow...The game is basketball, not the 100m Sprint.
I've always thought this!
Sry mate, but even he admits he was slow (relative to others at his level of play).
It doesn't mean he did the 100m in 20 seconds but more along the lines of not having that initial burst, that being said, he didn't need that burst as he operated on 200IQ playing level (gaming term for someone that can out think/out play the game).
@@darrylblanch8463 The only thing he was slow at was helping mf he just dropped get up off the floor.
@@thatmanstumototours2270 I'm just going off what all the greats said about him & I believe Larry even said something similar, relayed to me by a friend Larry said it to. He didn't need to run/burst take off fast as he was already moving b4 the need to move.
Took me years to understand what he ment.
@@thatmanstumototours2270 he was extremely fun to watch, "he looks like a hick from French lick that made you look stupid". Sorry I think I got 2 quotes mixed there.
Magic & Larry, resurrected the game of basketball......My dad loved basketball, but stopped watching, until the competition between Johnson & Bird was highlighted......What my Dad used to say, about Larry's game, is that it reminded him of someone, who was not only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, hockey, baseball, track & Field, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, and was what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique and gifted players, I have ever watched!
Larry Legend is different. He would tell the play to the other team and dare them to stop him. The more clutch the more he did it, he played with their mind. Also Larry was ALWAYS in the right spot at the right time doing the right thing. He would pass a ball where nobody was and someone would miraculously show up. People showed up for games because they saw plays that look impossible all the time. That is why they say Magic and Larry saved the NBA. The old school play was rough and tough not like today and players stayed with a team for a long time. Thanks for a fun moment looking back in time.
First qualification on Bird's resume, is professional ankle breaker.
Larry Bird won the first three, three point contests. He also won three consecutive League MVPs. One of only three players to do that. Good reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Bird pretty much did everything in Basketball you could do on the court. 3 point contests, crazy passes, MVPs, impossible shooting, clutch plays, multiple championships, toughness through injury, 50-40-90 club (and 1 steal away from a quadruple-double if he didn't voluntarily sit out an entire 4th quarter) . I mean he was slow and had average defense but he just anticipated plays and out-thought his opponents that made those negatives better. I think Jordan may begrudgingly agree that Larry Bird on the other side of the court always gives a chance to win a game, even against him. And we all know how MJ demoralized pretty much everybody else he ever faced.
Bird and Magic would tear the NBA up today. Basketball Jesus, Larry Legend, Bird, or whatever is my favorite. You should check out Magic and Bird on Letterman. Larry talked trash for sure. But I think most of it was just him telling people what was coming to try to challenge himself and them. Bird, Magic, Wilt the Stilt, Bill Russell, and Dr. J are my 5. If you have not seen them play look them up. Have a great weekend and I am subscribing to watch more. #615
Making the Case should be next! Larry Legend my friend! ^^
He is the best. He is called Larry Legend for a reason.
MJ learned how to get into players heads by watching Larry do it. He admitted it himself. Larry swept MJ in playoffs every time they met
He broke his cheekbone and came back out
Before each home game, Bird was looking up at the rafters. He was looking at Bobby Orr's retired #4, Imagine that? An NBA star paying that kind of respect to a retired NHL star? And because Orr was great and because of what Orr played through, Larry looked to his retired number for motivation before a game. That still knocks me out.
That guy, #44 said that was the most humiliating moment of his career.
#44 that had his ankles broken by Larry Bird was none other than Hall of Fame small forward Dominique Wilkins. Hecwas one of tge best defenders in the league!
Larry was the ultimate trash talker and all those after him including Michael specifically Michael learned from Larry. There are so many great players from the ABA to the NBA merger that hardly ever get talked about anymore or looked at if you love the game go check out them guys and see the transition
The back story to the Hawks game when Larry dropped 60+ is great from both teams. From the Celtics Kevin McHale had just broken Larry Bird's single game franchise scoring record just a few days prior to the Hawks game. Bird reclaimed his franchise record vs the Hawks. From the Hawks side it was post game when coach Mike Fratello was watching the tape he noticed the Hawks bench cheering for Bird. Fratello would fine the players seen celebrating including John Salley. Salley replied to coach Fratello by saying watching Bird play like that was well worth it. Fratello agreed with Salley and fined himself as well.
John’s alley wasn’t on the hawks or in the league then. It was Eddie Johnson cliff levingston and Antoine carr
That is funny you called him Jesus. His other nickname, besides Larry Legend, was "Basketball Jesus"
He didn't win ONE 3pt contest; he won THREE IN A ROW! Then had to miss due to injury. He was also MVP 3 yrs in a row.
Noone Played Harder than Bird..Look At Larry Bird as A Rocky,, Not All the Athleticism and Talent But All Heart and Passion
Almost 1000 likes now! Great reaction man.
Imagine if social media had been out when bird was in this prime trash talking
Larry was the biggest trash talkers against black players. Watching Larry play as a teenager I wouldn’t never believed a white man played or talked like that. Once I heard bird say he played against black players growing up,I now realized how special he was & he my starting 3.
Jordan learned from Bird with mind games
Michael Learned The Art of Getting into another opponent's head from watching Larry Bird and from Larry Bird getting into his head but indeed most definitely Larry would always always Telegraph everything he was doing tell him do it and then go and give him a look hilarious
Larry was just showing off with the "behind the backboard shot". The basket didnt count and you can be damn sure he and all the other players knew that it didnt.
Jordan has said himself in interviews that Larry Bird is the one that taught him how to trash talk and get into opponents heads
Larry talked about how he had 600 moves he would use daily in his opponent’s. It was so hard to tell what he was going to do and he mentally wore you out. James worthy said he would rather guard MJ over Bird because bird you had to play the mental game to figure him out.
That was Kareem... Worthy said Jordan made you look slow. Bird made you look stupid....
@@alanduff1054 worthy did say that he would rather guard Jordan over bird too. There is a video clip of it.
@@benjaminmcclure3565 I KNOW.. thats what I meant.. Worthy didn't mind looking slow guarding Jordan. But he HATED looking STUPID...
I love it when Larry does those Jedi master passes when someone passes him the ball and he doesn’t catch but instead he taps it and changes the ball’s trajectory in a split second. But the ball never slows down. Talk about hand eye coordination…. 🐐

A bunch of guys in the 40’s..
Bird was a nightmare for the opposing team. There was no way to defend him. He had too many weapons in his arsenal. Do his passing re-edit video. Greatest passer.
Just as I think Jordan would have been close to Bird as a jump shooter, had he not been forced to shoot a lot of garbage shots early Bulls when they didn't have a team, I think Bird would have easily averaged 30+ in many seasons had he only been focusing on scoring. But I am glad he didn't we got so many highlights that didn't involve Larry himself always making the basket.
Not only could Larry shoot the ball, but he was absolutely a master at passing. To do what he did he had to always know exactly where everyone was on the court and that everyone was looking for a ridiculous pass at the last second.
That's what made him almost impossible to guard. You had no idea what he was going to do. He'd go up like he was shooting, but pass instead. He looked like he was passing, but then he'd take the shot.
ALMOST impossible to guard???
They sold out the Garden on an off night and Magic came across the country for it.
MJ credits Larry for teaching him how to talk trash.
Poor Mike must have really been in school when Bird swept him twice in the playoffs. ❤️🍀🏀#33 🐐
Dude, you need to check out the documentary on Bird & Magic - A Courtship of Rivals. Please. I even subscribed. Also, keep up the good work. Doing good reviews!
You don’t understand Birds basketball IQ was insane ! That’s why players were getting fooled so much !! You just never knew what he was going to do !! He may not have looked the part but Larry Legend is top 5 all time !! Played most his career in excruciating pain !!
I'm lucky enough to say. I saw larry legend play his whole career. Bird is the most complete player to ever play. He was the smartest most clutch player to ever play the game. He is the best shooter that I have ever seen. He was an unbelievable passer. He rebounded better than most centers. He would d up on anybody. Played more than half of his career with a broken back and two bad feet. In My opinion, larry bird is the Goat. Just ask Jordan, Jordan was 0 for 6 in the playoffs versus bird. With two sweeps. Bird was the only player that jordan never beat in the playoffs. People always say bird was slow, bird couldn't jump. He didn't have to. He was always 3 steps ahead of everyone he played. Just imagine what he would have done if he was fast and could jump. They called him Basketball Jesus for a reason. Because he was the best!
Don't let Larry's slowness fool you. He was freakishly strong and what he lacked in physical ability, he made up for in hustle, work ethic and basketball IQ. He made a hobby out of humiliating guys. I saw them play in 1987, at the old Boston Garden, a gift for my 12th birthday, and it's still one of my best childhood memories. Growing up in the Boston area in the 80's, the Celtics/Lakers rivalry was EVERYTHING!
I believe he was MOSTLY playing possum... He was reserved with his energy...
Bird's nick name was Basketball Jesus
That clothes line led to the creation of the flagrant foul
The reason why basketball looks so lit back then. The players actually play till the clock says 0. None this bs about a “unwritten” rule that they always talk about these day in basketball.
Larry won the first THREE three point contests.
I want to give the whole story on the left hand game. What's even more priceless about it is that he said he didn't need his right hand to play the blazers. He said he wanted to save it for the Lakers.
He ended up with 47 points that game and 27 were left handed!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Larry Legend 💪⚔️
They called him basketball jesus....
Larry won the first three 3pt contests.
He won 3 pointer contest 3 years in a row
Michael Jordan says himself he learned trash talking from Larry.
This why the 80’s and 90’s are better than today game
it's not just larry's skills that made him great. it was also the era he played in.
he was a great player in a league filled with great players. and almost all of them have horror stories about how good bird was and how much of a nightmare he was to play against. the mid 80s-late 90s was the most talent rich and competitive era of basketball and bird was at or near the top of that era.
NEAR the top??? The only person you COULD compare to Bird WAS Jordan and Jordan NEVER beat BIRD... EVER... BIRD GOAT...
Yes Michael said he learned how to trash talk. And Michael learned from the best. He taught everyone what trash talk was tell you the play exactly and then go do it.
You are totally right about Bird not being slow. He was a big guy, and he only ran as fast as he needed to for the situation. That way he could fool people and go full strength and speed at the last. Just like Ali did to Foreman, and later Foreman to Moorer. 'Im just a slow old man, weak and clumsy.' Then when the apponent relaxes, ka-blooie!!!!!
EXACTLY just playing possum...
It was the Wild West back then. One ref said as they were in a playoff game, “ If no one is bleeding, I’m not calling it.”
Lifelong C's fan here.... Good stuff man. Keep it up!

BIRD GOAT...
Oh yeah .. Dope last name.. :)
Just found this channel and love it!!!!
More Bird and yes, you gotta react to Magic!
Larry wasn't a trash talker. He was a psychic. He predicts the future.
It seems Larry Bird had a thing for the number three. Championships 3, MVP 3 (consecutive), 3-point contests winner 3 (consecutive), Best in different capacities 3 (player, coach, executive) and he wore number 33 (I think he would've preferred 333 if it was allowed) 😁😁😎😎🙏🙏
He won it 3 times back to back 3 point contest
The first 3 point contest was the best, even though everybody mostly remembers the last round of the 3rd one. In the last round of the 1st contest he was in (and at the time nobody thought a bigger man had a chance at winning a 3 point contest), he hit like 11 in a row, and not even through the 3rd rack he had already won it, so then he started f**king around like banking in a 3 and trying to rainbow shots. I mean how intimidating is that?
Larry wouldn't call you names. But he was one of the best trash talkers. There's a separate video on people Telling stories of his trash talk.He walked in the locker room of the 1st 3 point contest and ask the whole locker room who's coming in 2nd then left and proceeded to win It is warm up Jacket.
Definitly the best White player of all time even though that dude from Dallas will take his reigns someday. Imagine how good he was with all the super stars that played in his era. Nothing else compares
What’s with the race crap ?
Bird is the GOAT , period !
