Even the thrown ball at Laimbeer was an exhibit of Birds threading the needle.
and I 2nd that 🪡 sewing up the championship as someone crying in their 🍺 from the bench 😫
Shows just how absolutely surgical Bird was with a rock. Light as a feather with a homing beacon.
That was impressive.
Savage at dodgeball.
I know exactly nothing about basketball but i was similarly impressed (but wasn’t sure if I needed to be as, as I say, I know nothing about basketball) by that ball strike at Laimbeer through all those other players! 😅🎉
80's & 90's NBA was and will always be the best Era
70's wasn't bad
It was great, I grew up in that time
60s and 70s were great for us Celtic fans 👍👍👍
@@rodneygow4083 had a backboard setup in a cow pasture.. watch them cow pies
@@Paulftate lmao 🤣
Larry threw that ball over everyone and as accurate as always, he got him lol
Sure would have nice if Laimbeer had been knocked out with that ball.
For real he threw it hard and hit Laimbeer right in the head 😂
Don't you love it
Lol Bird was a good baseball player as well
@@JoeMACofNAC he was throwing it at the referee laimbeer's head just got in the way
How about Adrian Dantley getting called twice for traveling? Coincidentally, that was the last time an NBA referee call the travel in a game.
Ha ha ha, "That was the last traveling call in the NBA" good one!
Very accurate. Have not watch basketball much since the 90s and sat with my dad and every single play by every player just about was traveling even double dribble many time not one was called.
The very next day the league instituted the "gather step" 😂
Lmao facts 😅😅😂😂😂😂
Good one Neil 🤣
The thought that Bird would have ever considered wearing anything but a Celtic jersey just shows how the current NBA has ruined all epic riveralys like this one with the Celtics/Pistons!
I was a lakers fan during this time. But no one can deny Larry Bird was one bad ass ball player
He was freakin' brutal right? Magic vs Bird was the ultimate! Then Jordan came along, and it was just Jordan vs..... well, no one!
I was a laker girl
I miss these guys
Can we get rid of king james?
@@lisaevan4236 I wish the front office would run him out of town. LA has more than enough stars to go around, we don’t need that diva.
@@tysonthomas7094 JORDAN? WHO IS HE? ALL I SAW WAS LARRY BIRD!
@@lisaevan4236 HOPEFULLY, KING OF RACISTS JAMES WILL RETIRE SOON!
Anybody who disrespected Bird instantly regretted it.
Even Kareem.
Boss Larry boss, those moves were power
THIS!
They did??
@@jamessweet5341yeah Kareem was sensitive and you could get under his skin which Bird did many times.
Bird was a real bad-ass.........wasn't intimidated, and always stood up for himself and his teammates.....and boy would he make you pay....... the greatest era of basketball...
Ahhh Bill Laimbeer. One of the best linebackers to ever play the sport of basketball…
"They call him Counterfeit Bill, because he's such a phony." Johnny Most...
Hahahahahaha
@@stephenzanichkowsky4434 And (Medical) Bill Cartwright
Absolutely true. What Laimbeer lacked in talent,he made up for being a brutal A-hole. He was the worst.
HAHHHHAHA! YES! Great comment!
There is absolutely no way a team of today's league could handle a game/series like this.
Straight facts. Nor would they want to...they need defenseless easy games...just five guys behind the arc or one guy with a drive in, uncontested dunk. Can you imagine Lebron's tweet after a game/series like this hahaha 🤣
Old man armchair warrior talk.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@sludge8506 narcissist millennial talk 😳😬🙄
IMHO, if you watch this video and what little ball movement there is, compared to today's game, I don't see the physicality of the 80's being that much of a deterrent! Kinda' hard to foul someone when they don't have the ball that long and if you do, and that player is say beyond the 3-point line, that's 3 free throw attempts!
@Itz An Opinion I used this video as an example because I saw the games live at the Garden. As far as ball movement you have no idea.
Bill Lambeer was a dirty player. Those who played against him like Bird can attest. He would intentionally put his foot underneath players rebounding to try and sprain their ankle when they landed.
As Bird stated, if you weren't ready to go, meaning fight for what was right, you had no place on the court.
Also, how sweet was Bird's fall away jumper. Not many could stop that.
Laimbeer was indeed a dirty player.
dirty, dirty player. bird hated him. it's one thing to be hard, it's another to try to intentionally hurt somebody. lambeer was scum.
He had to play dirty because he wasn't very good. That's the only way he could be effective. He was so overrated.
He was an enforcer for the team.
Jordan once said that Bird was just as dirty
Seeing traveling called by the refs is amazing, I almost forgot what that was like. Today's NBA players travel all day long and are almost never called for it. The modern game sucks, it really does.
The traveling in todays game is ridiculous.
@@John-mn9rp
You said it. Some of the big name players today would have to relearn the game. If they actually played by the rules, there wouldn't be as much scoring and/or dunking, so the NBA slowly changed the game to put more butts in the seats. I quit watching American basketball in the mid 90's. It is nowhere near the game that it was years ago, even before the 1990's.
“Larry Bird played every minute of this game” unbelievable physical feat
when that happened I gained all the respect in the world for Bird
Larry said, "Don't let these golden feathered locks fool you; I'll bust your a$$" 😂
My dad bought Dallas Mavericks season tickets year one in 1981-82. His estate had them until 2013. l saw every game Bird or Jordan came to Dallas among others in the 80s/90s. Thats why lm a boomer when it comes to telling younger fans lots of players seen as great today would not have thrived in those times when you were getting hit and thrown to the floor. M Jordan played 9 complete seasons when the NBA was essentially pro hockey w/o the protection. thats the greatest feat of all.
My mother use to work for an oil company and she use to get free tickets to the rockets all the time. This was around 1983 so we saw the sixers with Dr J and Moses malone, the celtics dynasty and the lakers dynasty. I saw every trip Jordan did up until 1988. I saw the bad boy pistons. Then the tickets got harder to get because the nba kept getting bigger and bigger.
Laimbeer was one of the dirtiest bstrds ever to play the game. That was a big part of Detroit's game plan. Foul often enough and hard enough, and the zebras can't/won't call them all. I know Detroit fans loved it, but seeing Laimbeer whining like a schoolgirl after Bird bounced the ball off his head made me smile.
The bad boys were it back then. I also loved to watch them Celtics also. My second favorite team back then.
Well I didn’t love the bad boy Image that Laimbeer and Mahorn cultivated though I’m a Piston fan. That being said they were SO much more than this video. Tremendous defense and tremendous perimeter shooting. Yes people hated them. Look at some other NBA highlights from this era. There are PLENTY of nasty, dirty takedowns of players from many teams. Even the “saintly” Lakers, Bulls and Celtics. There are PLENTY of Piston games where there was very little “dirty” play and just lights out defense, teamwork and shooting. If you must reply keep it civil. Just an opinion. The Pistons NEVER get the respect the other championship teams from that era get and they were one horrible call in the 6th or 7th game of the 1988 finals from a three peat. Also look at the last seconds of the 7th game. Cameramen, reporters and fans stormed the court and there was still time left on the clock. It’s all there. Btw those 80’s Celtic teams never won two in a row. I loved the lakers and Celtics from those days. As a Piston fan it was sweet to see them finally win just like when the Bulls finally won. Be well.
Made me smile when Detroit bounced Bird and the Celtics from the playoffs and relevance.
@kenmcneillmusic1699 I was 19 when this series was played. You're right. The Celtics were the platinum standard at the time, because they had great players, were deep, and physical. We ended up having to be them in order to beat them. The Celtics were dirty af but they had a legendary legacy.
I remember buying a game on the Super Nintendo called "Bill Lambeer's Futuristic Basketball"! It was set in the future, and you could foul, punch & and claw your way to scoring. This set the precedent for NBA Jam!
Larry was the toughest ever, didn't take smack from anyone and always made 'em pay with points.
he didn't take your shit
Bird didn’t start fights he finished them
That ball tossed at Lambeer was actually quite the throw. Right through 5 or 6 players right at the thugs head. Score! Three points!
Never never never mess with Larry Bird. Respect him , play hard against him , but never make him angry .
True. Bird wanted to beat the best you had to offer. He respected nothing less.
I was in HS watching Bird and Magic. Those were “magical years”, never to be repeated.
0:11…Larry Legend is even perfect with a pass to Laimbeers head. 😁 0:58…Thomas grabbing Bird and saying “you’re wrong”, DJ pushing Isaiah away and telling him to GTF outta here. 0:58 👍
4:59 And some people doubt Bird's greatness. Damn, this was a great era for basketball.
What a great video. Thanks for posting.
It's hard to describe how loud the garden was back then. Some of the greatest experiences of my life. Rip dad. I love you!!!
Did you get a piece of the court?
@@mikehawk120 it wouldn't even excite me . Not trying to be cool but I spent a lot of time on the parque. Spent a lot of time at the Celtics practice facility as well in Waltham. It seems like I'm trying to be cool actually I'm sorry
@@richlewis1879 it’s cool! I only went to a few games as a kid in the late 80`s and heard they sold everything from inside to ppl. I’m from Vt so it was a haul driving down.
@@mikehawk120 I also went to everything in the garden in the late 80's. I lived in Watertown, which is 20 mins from the garden. My dad's 2 really good friends from highschool worked in the Celtics front office lol. They're office was directly across the street from the garden. Anything my dad wanted was free. He used to have strips of playoff tickets for free. Oilers games. Habs games. Lakers games. Pistons games. You name it. It was ridiculous honestly. The kicker is my uncle was a security guard as well. He stood on the floor for Celtics games. Dad new everyone, so we could get into the building way before the public. I still have a sick Celtics hardcover yearbook. It was a Sunday game on national TV against the bulls. We stood right outside the bulls bus as they walked into the garden. In that book I got Jordan pippen bird McHale parish Reggie Lewis dee brown etc. They all signed. Thankfully I still have it
@@richlewis1879 that’s awesome man! I have fam and my mom us from dorchester. She used to talk about a lot of bruins stuff she collected /back in the day. I bet you have some sweet memories. Hope you are well…
Always made me laugh when Bill Laimbeer tried to act like he was the victim right after he literally assaulted players he was "defending"..His defense was more like a hit job...
In the NHL we call that player a goon, but usually goons are mediocre players. To Lambeer’s credit he was definitely a good player no matter how much I disliked the guy’s antics
@@chrisloesch1870 dude was trash.
I would watch basketball everyday if it was even remotely comparable to this
If you watched these games at the time you can't take today's game seriously
I'm 65 and I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Well said.
I don't even watch these amateur wokesters try to play ball these days
@@calebjay1wilson431 that's a trump excuse..f calling people woke
@@jljohnson8668 It isn't, but nice try.
It truly was the golden age. I don't think many of today's so called superstars (including Le Bron) could handle the roughness that existed back then.
he would run home crying for his mama
Well, it was the golden age of hard fouls, anyway.
LeBum can barely handle todays fouls 😂😂😂😂😂
@@willk901 LeChoke would take himself out of the game thats how little he could handle playing back then.
Oh hell no. Reading the article on Willis Reed none of them from the 2000s forward could.
I think Shaq and the 90s maybe could have handled it.
Without Rodman rebounding they basically just threw the ball at the net and set up down court
Back when the NBA was not only watchable...it was phenomenal.
🎉
Now you got 3 point shooters wearing a mouthpiece 😂
I love that era..the real man in basketball 😍😍
One of the many instances that led to Bird’s career being cut short due to chronic back injuries. Those fouls today would result in an immediate ejection, fines, and lengthy suspensions.
Man they were playing for blood weren't they. What a great game
Intensity is at a whole nother level in this series than what we have become accustomed to today.
Laimbeer was a punk and those Detroit teams played dirty.
That being said, laimbeer never regretted anything
@philliptanner5313 , not even Parish using him as a punching bag ... lmao !
The funny thing is the refs all looked the other way , no foul was called , the only reason Parish was suspended a game was to save face for the league .
Even the officials wanted Lamebeer to get what he deserved .
This was how the game was meant to be played. Notice that hardly no one is shooting a three? Today it's like 'notice how no one is shooting from inside the arc'?
0:56 Many people say Bird isnt that strong,yet he turned Rodman around and down like a parent corralling and angry ten year old.
Bird just tossed Rodman to the side 🤣🤣🤣
I loved basketball back then!
Two great teams. And the hate was real..
A true classic Kodak moment 📷 when Larry drilled lame 🍺 That play should be labeled the greatest out of bounds play ever. haha 😁
Watching this, I can still hear Johnny Most's voice screaming in the stratosphere, making every dog in the neighborhood go crazy.
Imagine even a fraction of the passion and fight in today's NBA hahaha...what a bunch of chumps the guys are now.
Old man armchair warrior talk.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Bunch of whiney babies! "OMG.... he scratched me when I did a layup!" Referee.... "FOUL"! Player.... "GET ME A BAND-AID! I NEED TO SIT OUT 2 GAMES!!! WAAAAA!" Bird, Magic and Jordan would have averaged 70 damn points per game!
80s-90s guys were raw, todays guys lack nerve
Detroit can make a Knick fan root for the Celtics.
I don't know what you're trying to say. But the Detroit Pistons was some bad motherfukers. You must be out of your goddamn mind 😅
Tell me how Lebron would've made it in the league back then? Lebron fans think he would've dominated.
@@ronaldpetrovich no the hell he wouldn't. The game had defense back then. Now is everybody running and shooting. He would have been a good player back then.
You damn right Larry
@@ronaldpetrovich casual argument
That Mahorn foul on Bird is super filthy.
I love LARRY BIRD!!! He's poetry in motion!!!❤
The game was much more physical back then. I don’t think LeBron could handle the physicality that these guys used to play with imo
LeBron would be a good player back then. He's got the physical side for it. The real question would be heart. Opinions vary on that score.
spot on!!
Never be another Larry Bird... In my opinion he's was the best all around player...
This is basketball not that garbage we watch today, these players today have no idea what physicality really is
Now that’s the way basketball is supposed to look like. Not like todays game where they do time management and flop all over the place.
So you'd rather have the NFL..I was young then and I thought I was watching NFL
@@jljohnson8668 yes I would, this bullshit is a joke and if can’t see, I don’t know what to tell you.
don't ever ever forget him as one of the greatest players ever right there with Magic ,Jordan , kobe labron, Kareem they would say so too.
This video is pure gold.
That era of Detroit Pistons had to resort to beating up their opponent instead of beating them on the court!
The golden age of basketball, with the greatest of all time....Larry Bird.
Greatest of all time..... yes? and no! Magic, Bird, Jordan..... the magic 3! Jordan though... DAYUM! But yes, Bird is one of the goats!
You’re right that was the greatest era of basketball, but you’re definitely wrong about who’s the goat, that title belongs to MJ with Kareem a close second, Bird however is definitely in my top five greatest players of all time and I’m a Cavs fan 😂😂😂
nvader88, IYHO, that is.
Yes the greatest of all time
MJ was the GOAT, very few people in the know about basketball would be foolish enough to argue that truth
I LOVED IT,,,,I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS GAME!!!!
LARRY BIRD WASNT GOING FOR ANY BS!!!
That body check by Thomas with few seconds remaining and no hope just exemplified what a dirty team the pistons were down to their core
Ahh a time when traveling was actually called in the nba
For real. Now they don’t call traveling and do call technicals for pretty much everything. Ridiculous.
Born in 81', I remember the late 80's and early 90's Basketball as a totally different game then we watch today!! The Bad boy Pistons, the dominance of the bull's, the First Dream Team! 😮
Bird Played The Whole Game 😊😊
A Cut Above The Rest ✌️
The man was a true super star! You could build any team around him.
Wow! The NBA was once interesting...
The best part of this whole series was seeing Lame-beer riding the bench in the the last 2:00 minutes, knowing the Pistons would lose game 7.
Priceless. Makes me chuckle, what, 35 years later?
bill lame 🍺 was Mr. Spectator ride n the bench in the closing ⏰️ When Larry drilled lame 🍺 that's the most classic Kodak moment 📷 out of bounds play ever. 😁
What a great Hockey Game that seventh game was! Everything but High Sticking in that Series. Rest assured that if they'd had sticks they would have used them. The Pistons were "The Bad Boys" for a reason. The only problem.being Larry Bird channeled that anger into greater deeds. I loved the Pistons, even though they crossed the line on numerous occasions. A remarkable stat is that whoever beat the Pistons in that era won the Title. Only Bird and Jordan could "Outbad" them.
This is when the game was great!
Kids in 2023: "Woah! Unbelievable! I cannot believe this is how basketball used to be!"
80's kids: "This is normal basketball"
Yep. Today's game closer to falling down international soccer / basketball...than 80s game similar to hockey basketball
Love that era. That was the real NBA. Just imagine Lebron playing during that time 😂 😂
DEAN, HE WOULD COWER DOWN LIKE RALPH SAMPSON!
I don't think Lebrom survives in that era. Todays NBA is like non-alcoholic beer.
@@davissinclair4945 Lol good point. Him being so phony would have gotten him hurt back then.
OMG what a bad ass reality check, most players today have no idea.
He wouldn’t have played 3 games in that era……..
Larry Bird had one of the greatest basketball minds ever. He should rank up there with MJ for tenaciousness and competitiveness.
Yeah and he schooled MJ for years until MJ got help.
Larry got old at some point
@@jljohnson8668
As did MJ.
The good old days of grown man basket ball!
Even though I greew up in a Laker house, I was a Celtic fan in the Bird years and never missed a game. I still have my Celtic/Bird jersey...I loved it when they played the Pistons. The games were exciting and intense and crazy and the comedic interludes of Ainge and Lambeer whining and crying... Great times
Outside of Joe Dumars, the Pistons were dirty as hell.
Or when Larry Bird make lambier looks like a fence post 😂
Great video!!
BTW, the Lakers, who had clinched a Finals spot, were watching the game on TV and reportedly were shocked that Bird would shoot a lefty floater in the 4th quarter of a Game 7. When reporters asked about it, Bird said something like "I *had* to shoot it lefty!" As Joe Dumars once said, Bird was a savant.
The greatest most physical Era in basketball history these 2 teams hated each other love Larry legend
I think laimbeer regretted it more the next game when parish pummeled him lol
Chief was just as physical but a far better player than Laimbier.
That’s when you go straight at them with the intentional charge that involves a knee to the groin on the way up .
WOW! I still remember watching all these games but seeing them again like this I can fill all the gaps in my memory! Teams these days would be beaten down before the third quarter!
The Lakers/Celtics series were some of the greatest of all times. Magic vs Birdman.
If I was a sniper, I'd want my nickname to be *The Bird*
Can you imagine LeBron crying with hard foul
he'd be rolling around on the floor for 15 minutes
And surely get some fans ejected for saying something mean about his precious Bronny boy! 🤣
Totally agree. Lebron could not of handled the in your face play.
Even with all the brutality, there was some great ball movement and shooting.
I like how Bird just tossed Rodman aside like he was a feather.
You put any of the top 5-6 teams in a playoff series with either of these teams they wouldn't win a damn game. The physicality back then was almost like watching football. It was an absolute war. Imagine the Warriors trying to guard Parish and McHale down low. LMFAO They would score at will all game long.
Old man armchair warrior talk.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Watching the Bad Boys get passed the Celtics was one of my greatest moments as a fan.
I love the first moments of this video thanks very much for it, really never mess with B rd old school in general and I include Mj of course.
37 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists….awesomeness
The game was a lot more physical back then
Laimbeer doesn't regret anything. He would do this again every chance he could get. He didn't fear anybody. Lol
Laimbeer is a coward.
He was a douchebag
Isaiah with the flying shoulder on Ainge😳😂
LJ would have cried, retired and had PTSD for the rest of his life if he played back then!
Bill Laime-beer was a dirty player who tried to injure players.
Larry Bird Was One Of Those Players, Who Just Was Not Going To Stand For Dirty Play On The Court.
Where was he in '84 finals when Kevin McHale clothesline Kurt Rambis!!!!!
Did you notice when Rodman grabbed Bird around the neck?
Bird pushed Rodman and his head down, and away as Bird was walking off.
With one hand.
As a laker fan.. grew up watching kobe & shaq ...in my opinion watching highlights of Larry bird greatest shooter of all time hands down
I don’t think Laimbeer regretted anything
Nothing personnel but lambert was one of the dirtiest players in the game back then. A fundamentally sound player who was surly but had no athleticism according to nba standards.
He sure was
He was a very good rebounder who scored 15 points a game, and was one of the most durable players in history.
Need to overlay the radio call over this clip....classic!
Seeing the replay's & the SHOT'S that Bird made then. Seem even more Unbelievable Now. Than they were even then. But as the Record's Showed & the Film 📽️🎥 footage attest too it. IT Happened that way just as the Greats say it did.
In those Year's & at the Time I wasn't a Big NBA Fan or Lunatic about the Pro Game or even BB 🏀🏀 other than the College Game.
But Oh did the Sport's Network's Cover the Channels with the Nightly Antic's of those Rough Housing, Donnie Brook Brawl's by those Two Rival's. As They Despised One another so Completely each Game, Playoffs or Regular season was a Classic War. Thanks for Sharing.
Bird handled Rodman like he was nothing. Whoa!
Don't over hair doo it now. 😁
The title is a lie. Laimbeer never regretted it for a second.
You’re right. Laimbeer was a professional A-hole and he was proud of it.
I am not a basketball fan but I did not miss a game in those days...
Can you imagine the tears shed by today's NBA sweethearts playing against Lambeer? LBJ would have retired already!
