That buzzer beater vs Phoenix is the famous “I told you so” story. He told Phoenix “Yeah, I’m fixing to bust a 3 on you guys and go home, I’m tired of this”. He caught the pass right in front of the Phoenix bench, hits an absolutely SICK buzzer beater , then points at the the Suns bench and says “I told you so”.
This is a great collection of highlights that shows off the passing ability as well as shooting ability. He also made a lot of great plays inside the paint that few people ever mention.
The thing that I'm sure we all loved about Larry bird? He would trash talk like mofo, then teams realized he wasn't trash talking. He was gonna kick your ass and he did it too everybody. Nobody can ever doubt that of Larry Bird.
I’d like to preface this by saying that I played basketball in NYC in an all black high school and got my nick name from the brothers playing at The Cage and at Rucker Park. We were all trying to emulate what Larry bird was doing on the playground and it was impossible for us. However, I remember hearing what Pat Riley said, “If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I’d choose Michael Jordan, but if I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I’d take Larry Bird."
Luka literally did this 0:50 in the playoffs when he had passed to Lively. In my opinion, people can say Edwards is the next coming of MJ if they want. But if that’s the case, Luka is the next coming of Larry Bird.
His passing skills equaled his shooting and driving skills. He definitely played for the team advantage, not needing to keep all the glory of baskets to himself.
He may not have been able to fly like MJ, but dont let anybody ever say he wasnt athletic. Larry Legend did things with a 2" vertical that shouldn't be possible.
Bird was and is the undisputed champion. LeBron couldn't cone close on Larry's worst day and lebrons BEST day present or future. Larry bird is and was and will always be the king. The best player in the NBA HANDS DOWN
Magic never seen an easy pass he couldn't about screw up hot dogging..Magic had a better overall career numbers wise but Bird was the superior player, shooter, passer, everything Other than Jordan, he is second pick on any all time team.. perhaps the greatest basketball player ever
Look, Jordan is the absolute GOAT. But if you can give Bird all that he had and give him Jordan's athleticism, I would have to give the edge to Bird. He really is that close to Jordan.
Larry Bird is above Jordan in my opinion. He was a better shooter, a far better passer, a better rebounder, minimum equal at freethows and clutchier than MJ. On top he was the best trash talker ever. Added to all this he swept him twice in the playoffs. I cannot see MJ above him.

Bird was very ambidextrous! He was constantly switching hands to score on his drives to the hoop.
Larry Legend is the best there ever was, is, or will be!!
That buzzer beater vs Phoenix is the famous “I told you so” story. He told Phoenix “Yeah, I’m fixing to bust a 3 on you guys and go home, I’m tired of this”. He caught the pass right in front of the Phoenix bench, hits an absolutely SICK buzzer beater , then points at the the Suns bench and says “I told you so”.
That was cold blooded!
And i just found out in this video that he's high fiving the phoenix player. Why hasn't anyone mentioned that before?
@@misqeenwoodworker3984 it was the end of the game. Buzzer beater
I heard recently that DJ was on the Suns during this game. Yup. #24
Absolute killer

He is the best to ever put a Jersey on !! Period ! If you could only seen him every night! You would make noises you never made before
I’ve never seen this one. What a treat.
Bird is that dude
His assists!!! A thing of beauty!
If you want someone taking the last shot to win the game, pick MJ. If you want someone taking the last shot to save your life, pick Bird.
ok pat riley😂
Well technically MJ choose Kerr to take the last shot
I’d definitely pick Larry Bird to help me in a fight for my life. He had the absolute dog in him.
IGUODALA
Had to screenshot that comment to send to my dad. His ol 1980s ass appreciated it 😊
Those fast thinking plays are so rare.
Bird&Jokic
That long lefty lead bounce pass! Damn! I’ve never seen that before, abs I thought I have seen it all when it comes to LB
I've never seen that bounce pass at 2:36. That should be on all of his highlight reels.
The greatest
Absolutely love these Bird videos!! Thanks!! imho, Larry Legend is the GOAT.
Robert parish ,larry bird... Anni che guardavo l nba... Gioco aggressivo e dove mettevano anima e corpo per vincere... che partite spettacolari❤
Incredible.
Legend
He just knew how to play the game of basketball ! HE WAS AMAZING ! All Around Player !
He was incredible
The Best
Bird was cold blooded
same as Jokic, isn' it?
@@thewhoisthisLarry was a better defender than Joker
I love to get the full effect by slowing it down to .75 . Really enjoy watching how he works.
I dont follow this sport, but this guy is an absolute beast. The athleticism is incredible.
legend
Larry Bird was magic!
That dude was a monster..

Tenía un juego original de el mismo , no lo había visto jugar nunca , wooo , cuantas habilidades personales .
At :56 that was LARRY LEGENDS switching of the hands for the lay in,without leaving BOTH feet of course!!But friggin AWESOME none the less!!😂
The real Goat Larry Joe Bird
Greatest instincts!
Wow, do I wish League Pass were around in the 1980s. I got to see Larry on TV maybe 10 times a year. That was not enough.
NO ONE BETTER!! I MEAN NO ONE!!!!!
0:29 swweeet move! 😳🔥
I’ve seen that passing highlight at 0:22 before but never that clearly. That was crazy 😮
Agile!quick big man with every basketball skill imaginable!👍
0:13! 😮
1:05! 3 pointer, at the buzzer!
He is a Luka/Jokic hybrid that plays defense. Scores at will, and makes insane passes. He just never stat padded like today’s Stars
Bird for a solid 10 years was what Mike Trout was in baseball for 10 years just does everything to perfection. A pure 5 tool player.
Bird, Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe
Jordan after magic???!!!! Cmon man
I loved that game
Nikola makes Bird look quick!
Jogava muito basquete.genio.
In Boston…papi with runners on Tommy with 2 minutes, BERGY in the slot, and LARRY at the buzzer
I miss the old NBA so much 😢
Mí ídolo
Love the assist from Quinn to Ainge. 😂
When you make a last second shot like that, you rip the heart out of the other team. His passing was at a different level as was most of his playing!
He really was cold
L.A. #32 WAS MAGICIAN!! BOS.#33 WAS TECHNICIAN!! LETS GO TANK!!
Bird is the Word!
literally basketball genius
That play at 0:51 was absolutely sick.
did he literally bounce it off of the opponent's fingertips lol
0:29
Love how he passed to Parish and he tipped it straight back to him.
That team's IQ was off the charts
GREAT VIDEO! NO TALKING FUN!!!
Celtics jersey never looked so beautiful 🥺❤️
Larry did the old come into the paint and the backwards alley-oop
Luka literally did this 0:50 in the playoffs when he had passed to Lively. In my opinion, people can say Edwards is the next coming of MJ if they want. But if that’s the case, Luka is the next coming of Larry Bird.
His passing skills equaled his shooting and driving skills. He definitely played for the team advantage, not needing to keep all the glory of baskets to himself.
How anyone can say Curru is the greatest shooter is beyond me.. Curry shoots long shots..he can pass it some..and honestly not alot else
Mane had passes fo sho
He had some skills mane
It’s weird seeing DJ playing against Bird (1:28)
Finding Angles that shouldn't exist on a Basket Court. "The Under Up and Around Shot on the Basket to Score." 🙂👍Genius
He may not have been able to fly like MJ, but dont let anybody ever say he wasnt athletic. Larry Legend did things with a 2" vertical that shouldn't be possible.
Larry was NICE
🐐
Top 5 all time
Fight me.
@Andy Butler hahaha I'm w you bro! No fight needed!
Bird was and is the undisputed champion. LeBron couldn't cone close on Larry's worst day and lebrons BEST day present or future. Larry bird is and was and will always be the king. The best player in the NBA HANDS DOWN
Top 1
That was a left-handed three-pointer
Behind the back move from French Lick Indiana😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Magic never seen an easy pass he couldn't about screw up hot dogging..Magic had a better overall career numbers wise but Bird was the superior player, shooter, passer, everything
Other than Jordan, he is second pick on any all time team.. perhaps the greatest basketball player ever
0:22 bruh what
Bird gave being a cowboy a whole new name. There, I said it. Yes I did.
28 in vertical. Every home in French Lick Indiana has pictures of him hanging higher than his vertical.
0:17 On the floor for that shot or just close to the floor?
Look, Jordan is the absolute GOAT. But if you can give Bird all that he had and give him Jordan's athleticism, I would have to give the edge to Bird. He really is that close to Jordan.
Larry Bird is above Jordan in my opinion. He was a better shooter, a far better passer, a better rebounder, minimum equal at freethows and clutchier than MJ. On top he was the best trash talker ever. Added to all this he swept him twice in the playoffs. I cannot see MJ above him.
Michael Jordan is better than bird in zero ways. Bird is the GOAT hands down. Jordan himself admits that bird was the GOAT. Still does.

2:46 best footage.
2:37
Give it the bird in the corner😂😂😂
Man.. Robert Parish Finished Off Every Single Insane Larry Bird Pass!
It's not fair!!!
Bird is filthy
Sempre gose a midia não fez caso do larry a bola e a torcida fizeram
Bird didn't need to shoot the shot starting at 1:01. Celts were already up and had the ball. Great shot though. LOL
Look at the passing effort we only have chris paul to emulate those moves now
Too bad there's no statistic for "really cool pass".... It just goes down as an assist.
And people say James is the goat ??
The bigger
So classy. Not like those other thugs
Now imagine him with the modern nba cam. This guy would look like he’s cheating. Come on now you gotta admit this guy’s insane
No wonder he's called Larry Bird he played like a bird after all
Larry would smoke lebron, change my mind.
他是冠军球队的头号较较者
Compared to the league now this is normal no offense
Larry Bird is the baddest white dude to have ever white duded.
多数的球员都防守不了大鸟叔这是真实的大家
Anyone here so damn tired of hearing that bird was unathletic?
