Larry's trash talk wasn't just noise...it was psychological warfare. He knew just what to say to each and every player. And he let nobody get into his head. "Shot!" Larry's reply "Yes it is" 😁 #LarryLegend ☘️
@@bonnieplasha4684yup it was mental edge with Larry just like How Jokic comes off like he don’t even love Bball but he does and uses it as his edge, jokic best trash talk is brother I got 47 which he said to Rudy after Rudy told them not to come help on the double
Ofcourse you would say that unless it's tge other way around. If magic would have played two white guys in that same situations and the two white guys won you would be saying the two white guys won. I can read the undertones. I see the same crap with jokic and doncic. If Haliburton had been playing in the pros since he was 13 as doncic has he would be doing what doncic is doing. Doncic is not a natural talent just has experience. Jokic took several years to get to where he is. I see the typical crap.
Your annswer is the kind of a thing a village idiot or a child would be allowed to utter during the town hall meeting only because of the "everyone is welcome to speak their mind" policy @@meberatubelay4487
So Bird is hurt and misses the All Star Game 3 pt contest. Craig Hodges wins and they ask him "Do you think you finally would've beat Bird too" and he says "I'm not afraid of Bird. He knows where to find me" Larry says "Yeah, at the end of the Bulls bench" 😂😂😂
But to be fair, Hodges was an excellent shooter. He still holds the records for most shots made in a round and also most consecutive shots made. Also tied with Larry for most contest wins with 3 as well as they both won 3 in a row. So he may have beaten Larry that year if he participated.
The craziest larry bird most disrespectful story was the telling portland he feels sorry for them he is gonna play the game left handed and scored 27 points in 3 quarters left handed fuckin disrespectful
What's even more disrespectful is his comment to the press after the game that he was saving his right hand for the Lakers. That's just saying that the 'Blazers were not at that level.
Even jordan did not attempt that in his prime, playing with his non dominant hand just because he was bored and saving his dominant hand for the playoffs or finals...
"Bird decided to shoot left-handed (he is right-handed) most of the game. He finished with 47 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists in 49 minutes in a 120-119 victory in overtime. Ten of his 34 shots were taken with the left." -Sports Illustrated
And that Larry Bird was basically at the end of his career when Brian Shaw came in 1988. By that time his achilles and lower back were shot but was still good enough to not just talk junk but back it up even at that stage. Amazing
This why I dont get the Larry disrespect. The stories they tell of him are damn near unbelievable but true. They all say it. His teammates, his rivals, EVERYONE. One of the goats for sure.
He was actually a 4x all-star. The Suns even retired his #. Him and Antawn Jamison are the only former NBA players to have scored over 20K points that are not in the HOF.
My fav is when they went to tipoff at the beginning of the game and McHale had jump ball with David West...big black guy, muscular, and Bird looks at Mchale and says go ahead Kevin, tell him what you said about him in the locker room. I still cant stop laughing
@@Mr.International82 That and the african american community has alot of love for larry as well big man of integrity. Boston as a place is a different story though. Larry overcoming that is a testament to his greatness.
One of the best things about seeing Luka and Jokic cook the modern NBA is that it shows that Larry was really that guy and it wasn't dudes letting him do it.
What's crazy to me is despite how fucking good Luka & Jokic are, and certainly the best representations of a modern day Larry Bird, neither of those guys are as dominant in terms of winning Larry was. Especially when it comes to being clutch in the 4th qtr. I hope as NBA fans we just give Larry Legend his flowers while he's still around that man was nothing but legendary.
And this was basically older, not in his prime anymore, riddled by career-ending injuries.. Larry Bird! Going up against Reggie Lewis and Brian Shaw by himself, and losing by only 1 point!! Bird was unreal…
I actually love that Luka is tearing up the league rn because everyone used to say Bird couldn't do his thing against current players lol and Bird was a better shooter
They forget who he was cookin, Larry was cooking every hall of fame legend from DR J to Everyone on The Dream Team Including The GOAT MJ who Larry Swept Twice!!
Not only is he a better shooter, he is taller too! Imagine Luka, 2-3 inches taller AND a better shooter AND passer? Bird would be a damn nightmare today.
Brian Shaw also was teammates with Dee Brown. The stories he told onstage about Bird were also mind blowing. Said Bird only jumped ONE INCH, and just like Shaw, did not respect Bird being a white dude BUT changed his tune once he got there. Brown said at that injury-plagued Bird did MORE trash talking and backed it up. And what people forget what that Bird was out-thinking everyone. Brown said he couldnt get why younger dudes couldnt out play this old, crippled guy but Bird outsmarted them.
I have two thoughts on this story. First, the Ramrod is the best possible name for a gay leather club. Second, those rookies are the only people in the country who didn't instantly know what kind of club the "Ramrod" is from hearing the name--which is why it's the perfect name.
@@Op-Whatchamacallit my eyes are great 20/20 but Bird at his peak was literally one of the 10 or maybe 5 best basketball players who ever lived. Even without looking at championships.
well thats a dumb take when we haven't even seen luka's prime yet. not to mention bird had a crazy stacked team compared to what luka has got so far. If luka gets 2-3 rings, he will surpass bird on the all time list.
Funny because Chambers and Bobby Jones--Dr J's white teammate who guarded Bird and was 8 time All Defense--were 2 of the most athletic guys in NBA history, yet he'd still use that joke.
Some context. Brian Shaw didn't start with the Celts until 88-89 season. Bird was totally done at that point and wasn't even half the player he was in prime years. Bird's back was absolutely shot from an injury a few years back building a driveway at his mom's house and Bird also had terrible bone spurs in both feet. Dude couldn't sit or run. Could only lay on the floor because of the constant pain. In early 80s, Bird won league MVP 3 seasons in a row and led the Celts to 3 NBA world championship titles beating some super stacked talented teams along the way.
I love to see and hear you guys getting together. The smiles you have are genuine and show you were real competitors, but you respected each other. I watched a lot of those games and I was disturbed by reports of Bird “trash talking.” It was an unfair characterization because I feared it was racist. But now, 35 years later I get the real story. Bird razzed other players in a playful way. Y’all are great for telling it how it was.
And the thing was , Tom Chambers was a really good player and Larry was still disrespected. Hilarious! BTW, look up Chambers dunks on entire Celtics front line. Quite the nasty dunk.
Hell, one of the first video game I played on the PC was Larry Bird vs Dr J one on one. Dr J had crazy dunks but Larry can’t miss a shot so Bird always wins.
While attending college Larry's team was playing mine and we heard they had a future all American on their team. During warm ups we tried to guess which black player he was. Obviously we were wrong, he beat our league champion team and set an arena scoring record! Peace from Northern Michigan!

Larry is legendary. Talk all the smoke but backed it all the way up.
Plus he was a classy trash talker. Kept it professional and yes, he could back it up when he played.

Larry Legend, my no.1 SF ever. I started following the NBA after his rivalry vs Magic.
This is when I love the Celtics. I was a huge Reggie Lewis fan man. The day he died that was brutal
Imagine how many championships the Celtics would have if both Len Bias and Reggie Lewis had full careers.
with reggie and len bias they would have won a bunch of rings
That’s old Larry Bird too with all them back problems

He also broke is middle finger early in his career playing softball. He said he was never the same shooter after that injury.
