1981 in his second year.
36pts 21rbs 5assts 5blocks 5stls against the
SHOW TIME LAKERS...
He was is and will always be my GOAT.
Mine too. No question.
That stat is mindblowing, at his peak the best ever
That wasn't the Showtime Lakers yet but still phenomenal
Larry bird is the greatest Boston Celtics please ever.. Bird was baller and a great pure shooter.
Nolay Austin Bill Russell was beast with 13 champships and 2 of was a coach.
Nolay Austin bill overrated
Ishfar Mannan true
@@jstiles1659 in a league that had only 8 teams (mostly filled with unathletic janitors) with only one real team to go up against every year (lakers) yeah those rings are tainted for those reasons alone. Don’t get me wrong Bill Russell was an incredible basketball player, especially defensively but he’s not the greatest center nor is he the greatest Celtic of all time
PURE KILLER
Larry Legend, if it weren't for the back injury who knows how many more championships he would've got. Top 5 all time player.
LARRY WAS THE SMARTEST PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN PLAY THE GAME
No lower than #3. NO LOWER.
@@douglassmart7483 coming from you, I agree
@@douglassmart7483plus alan iverson. Smartest at outsmarted people who tried blocking him
THIS IS THE REASON WHY I CAN'T BELIEVE A JOKE LIKE LEBRICK IS BETTER THAN BIRD
The best SF ever.
It's called truth.
Spoflash nah KD is probably the best of all time but Larry Bird is definetely second.
@JohnJacobs Bird had a bum body but mentally he blew both KD and Lebron away, and that's why he's better than both. KD got triggered just b/c someone said some on twitter so he's out immediately. Bird would not pass the last shots to someone else even tho he's a heck of passer so Lebron is out as well. You never found a game where Bird played timidly due to the sheer pressure of the game, and yet you saw it happening to both KD and Lebron.

Examples of Bird talks trash and backs it up. You think Kobe is mamba? Well Bird is nastier. LOL
John Jacobs Ur stupid ass really said KD???
Larry Legend
Totally broke my heart when he had to play with a back brace on but you know like legendary coach Pat Riley said if I had to count on somebody to take the game winning shot It would be Michael Jordan if I had to count on somebody to take the shot to save my life it would be Larry Bird
birds the best period!!
As far as peak/prime as an overall player: Bird > LeBron
He is and was the best ever ESPN Disney and all of you, don’t you ever forget it!
1 of the best ballers period.
And #6 was the best play in NBA playoff history. He steals in in bound pass from a top 20 player ever with 5 seconds left to win the game and series.
How was that not #1
That's not the best play in NBA playoff history. Magic's hook against 2 Celtics in Game 4 of the Finals is better.
Top 5 all time....
The GOAT! Ppl who really knows bball would agree.
Bird swept Jordan in the playoffs. TWICE!
Never have and never will i put Jordan over Bird in all time list
Duncan swept Lebron in the finals
Jordan > bird > Duncan > Lebron
That's 4 HOF against 1. It had to be a sweep. Just like Spurs sweeping Lebron in 2007
Navaro Palm W jordan performed a lot better than him too these kids dont know shit lol
Satanic Skater in one of those series jordan avg. 43.7 on 50% u fool
Jordan was better all around ...
Larry Legend #33 He could shit talk all day and back up every word
The 🐐 Small Forward. Coming from a Cavs fan.
Nahhhhh lol
Hell nah
Jesus Shuttlesworth i dont agree although its a lot close than many ppl think but respect
a BAD man, hated him when i was a kid cuz they would kick Jordan's ass but have to give it up now, larry Legend!!
I'll never forget when Magic said that Larry Bird has only lied to him once. He said he lied when he told Magic Johnson that there would be another Larry Bird. Magic was definitely right there hasn't been and will not be another Larry Bird.
Greatest small forward of all time
GreenHooper Yea fucking right
GreenHooper W
Scottie Pippen chill man at best ur fourth
Shuey Stimler Who tf talkin about me nigga
In typical media fashion the woman reporter butchers the number one moment failing to mention that bird called that three point shot before he took it. Doc Rivers also documented the story
Best SF of all time
LeBron james 😂😂😂 Change ur name nigga
@@pip388 leflop James plays in a weak era with no hand checking, bird had tougher and better competition that actually played good defense
Dat BAAAAAAAD MAN!
No player... no player has ever dominated the game in more ways than bird. Today’s game couldn’t handle him. People throw athleticism and his lack of it? That’s what’s wrong with today’s game and how this generation sees the game. They couldn’t mentally handle bird or any ofvthe players who were at his level then. He beat you is so many ways and ruined you mentally along the way. What he’d do in today’s game would be unreal. Its not really debatable. He’d dominate and he knows it and that makes him great... beautiful arrogance of the player
Bird was the best player ever. He and magic saved the league
What a great era the 80s 90s basketball at its best the players teams rivalries
That look on chuck Daly’s face is killing me after the infamous bird stole the ball
Number one moment is not even on the list! 1984 finals, game 4. Score is tied to 123. Bird gets the ball and scores on a fade away jump-shot while being defended by Magic. The only time he beat Magic in the Finals. His sweet revenge moment for that NCAA Tournament game in 1979
First
not really highlights, more like stats
LeBron could never beat Larry bird....
Bird is the man!!!
Larry legend
Am I the only one who noticed these aren't his top 10 plays? These are just his top 10 games, where are the plays
Imagine if he had a good back
I want to throw in a name but haters will be coming for me and I don't got time for the drama but y'all have to respect him sooner or later tho.
People say magic was better but forgot he played with Kareem arguably the greatest ever so yah if bird had Kareem and didn’t get hurt he’d of win five titles. So either their both tied or the edge goes to bird.

McHale and Parrish were Hall of Famers and no joke.

CCCP Space Program- Documentary!!!
I'm starting my franchise with Larry Bird
WHAT A PLAY BY BIRD!
How is #6 not #1?
Savage
🎉🐐🐐🐐🎉
Level of athletes have improved so much since then. The game play is so much slower then and most players were small compared to todays standards.
Skulletduder they arent small that was the 80's not 60's.
LOL
Dalton Johnson 6'6 Jordan and his 1996 team will go for 82-0 in todays game tf you talking about?
@@edboi7632 exactly bro, all these casual millennials know is how today's game is played, they don't know the fact that Jordans era had way better and more athletic players than they do now
Second best SF EVER and one of the most underrated legends of all time ! BIRD>KD
Larry tird
Why is Larry's steal so low?
You are better D!!!!!!
Respect!
Magic was better.
chris the starwars Nerd i agree. But that doesn't make bird anyless great
Steven Lol...Bird played with McHale, Parish, and Dennis Johnson. 3 Hall of Famers.
Yea of course
chris the starwars Nerd imo their neck in neck in how good they were
More successful, yes. But not better than Bird.
Yeah but he can’t jump 😂
Patrick Jerzak man but that fucker can ball. Ask anyone who ever player against him.
Doesn't matter if he can't jump, Jordan said he would take bird over LeBron any day of the week
Mj is the goat
Michael Price I can live with that. I would take any one of them in their prime to start a team.
Of course MJ is the goat, everybody that has basketball knowledge knows that except for casuals and millennials cause they never saw Jordan play
Lebron > Bird >> Kobe
Bird > kobe > Lebron
Tianhang Liu not mj
kobe over lebron and bird
Parnell Andres I agree
Manny P Funniest shit ive seen
I want to be like mj but I can't I'm too white so I prefer larry bird.
Larry was great for his time, but his game wouldn't be nearly as effective in today's NBA. He's not nearly quick, strong or athletic enough. Could be why we haven't seen a white-AMERICAN player on his level since.
nahor88 no matter what way u put it he is still def a top ten player ever..... love and hayward r prob the best nowadays
We haven't seen one because there hasn't been one as good as him period. And I think he'd do great. He moved actually pretty well on the court between 79-88. And not to call him strong is crazy. The guy averaged over 10 rebounds his career playing next to a 7 footer (Parish) and a 6'10 guy (McHale) and battled guys like Kareem, Barkley, Moses Malone, Karl Malone, Dennis Rodman, Olajuwon, etc, etc. There's no telling how many free throws he would get each game nowadays because the game is called way in more favor in the offensive player. And heck most of the people who post these days never saw him play and are brain washed by the ESPN crush on Lebron James. It's pathetic over on that website. And fundamentals are a lost art for sure in today's game. He'd dominate.
Nahor88, you're delusional and a casual if you think bird wouldn't dominate today, bird would shut down leflop no problem, the level of skill and talent was alot better back then, all they do now is shoot threes, Jordan and birds dynasty teams would sweep the warriors or LeBron's team
any of the greats from 80's and 90's would crush today's all star NBA team every year, especially with today's rule. "unathletic" bird toying with the most athletic players in that era, and believe me, they play rough ball, so i'll never understand the statement that Bird wouldn't make it against today's soft players in a soft rule NBA.
Overrated bum!
LeBron = 👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐
Fuck What You're Talking About ! Coming from a Lebron fan....Huhhhh The Irony
Pretty funny espn doesn't know the difference between a play and a game.
