What a competitor - when Larrys face hit the floor he fractured his right cheek bone and had a concussion but Larry could not sit by and watch his team lose, so he snuck back on court behind his doctors back and they won the game. THAT is the heart of a champion.
Something incredible, Larry's retirement 'EVENT' was just that, it was not held before a game, at half time, it was a complete night of it's own, the Boston 'Gahden' SOLD OUT for his retirement EVENT, on it's own....it was an event, all it's own, tickets sold AND sold out
There are 3 types of NBA "GOATS": There are the "Cheetahs" like Jordan, Magic, Kobe. The ones who beat you with grace and speed. Who excel at quick paces and a finesse in their movements. The type who once they get up to speed, will score on you until they wear themselves out. Then you have the "Lions" like Abdul, Hakeem and even Lebron. The ones who beat you with strength and aggression. Their power can be countered, but only by willing to either "feed them" points until they need to sit and nap after eating so many points. Or you cage them and take them out of the game. Then you have the "Tiger", Larry Bird. He isn't the fastest, he isn't the strongest. But he will pounce out of the jungle (distance) and charge into the attack (paint) and fight it out all night. He will chase you, fight you, block your escape, or simply smother you all night long. And if he is losing the fight, he fades back into the jungle (3pt land) and continues to stalk you all night long (By hitting long/3pt shots). So, no matter what, either in your face or faded into the jungle, you STILL have to know where he is, how he could attack, WILL he attack, and if he does HOW will he do it.... in your face, by a 3pt shot, or by simply charging you and forcing you to commit to that charging Tiger to only do a last-second pass to someone else on the team. THAT is what makes the difference in the GOAT conversation. The ones who have their "style" that can be slowed or caged. Or the one who simply can't be stopped because no "one strategy" can work for long before HE switches up his own play-style.
The look on Bird's face when he came back out of the locker room says it all. He was an intense competitor and that stare was priceless. I'm a Lakers fan and these series were always intense but decades later we're all better for it. Also, the Rambis foul was hard but no one cried about it. That's something that has been lost in sports these days.
The left-handed game in Portland, i was there. To see Clyde the glide Drexler put his head in hand and laugh at what Larry was doing is burned in my brain. The legend and the magic saved the NBA, and as a fan I will always be grateful to them both!
His slight athletic limitations are a part of his greatness. He hustled harder, thought wiser, skilled finer, fought tougher than anyone. He was a warrior and a genius of basketball. I love him more than them all.
There are def a bunch of other legends. To me it’s Magic and Bird always because they literally brought the NBA back from near death! Those 2 are top of the mountain forever in the NBA!!
At the end of the video clip, when they retired Larry's jersey, it was not on a game night. The Celtics held a special ceremony at Boston Garden and tickets for the event sold out in a few hours. Hosted by Bob Costas, it was basically a one and a half hour retirement celebration of Bird. Not many athletes get that kind of treatment.
Larry was a three time MVP and what most don't know is that he was runner up three years prior to the three he won ,so anybody could debate for him to be the player of at least the 80's ,but i think he could be top 5 to 7 best of all time ,but he could have been better if not for injuries before his prime.
Appreciate seeing someone new react to the LEGEND! That 3 quarter court, UNNECESSARY behind the back pass to Reggie Lewis was the next game for Bird after Magic announced he contracted HIV, and Bird was HONORING Magic! Kinda weird it was to Lewis who unfortunately passed away young? Reggie was a very good player, guarded Jordan as well as anyone, and was a great teammate and good guy!! Gives me chills every time, along with the crowd reactions after Bird came back from hitting his face on the floor! Keep doing the reactions🤙! I will be checking out your music as well! Much love and respect 🤙
I'm 70, so I did get to watch basketball back in the days It was so much fun then. Larry Bird was always my favorite. Loved the competitive spirit. He and John Elway had the don't quit attitude. Same team their whole careers. Thanks for the reaction!
Bird started his career with ROY, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd in MVP. 3 rings, 2 finals MVPs(should have been 3),every single 3pt contest he was in, and was a 2 time member and FOUNDER of the 50/40/90 club. The greatest clutch performer in NBA history. Basketball genius on the same level as Russell.
Supreme confidence and worth ethic. Magic/Bird made must see TV back then. I miss it. Also, as a bald man I'm suffering severe hair envy right now. Nice work.
Im a huge Bird fan, but im grown up enough to also respect the other greats and there are just too many to pick one stand alone player. Everyone talks about who is THE goat though anyone can have their personal favorite, but I dont think with so many greats there can be just ONE goat. Lets not forget how many greats there have been in the past, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and the list just goes on. I look at it more as a top ten or top five and each player being a standout, but I will say this and its been said by some very respected people in the NBA - even though he wasnt fast or couldnt jump very high Larry is possibly the most complete all around player to ever play the game, because he could literally play every position on the court and hit a shot from any place he chose and many times under heavy guard in badly off balance situations. But with so many greats over the decades im sure this is a discussion that will forever be on the table and arent we lucky to have such greats to look back on in video no matter what your personal choice.
You need to hear the story from Isaiah Thomas about that that play where he stole the ball back. Also check his stats & NBA has him listed as the toughest player in history.
All time 2 on 2 tournament: Magic and Bird beat whoever you can come up with. Period. 80's NBA was legal street fighting. It's why older heads call the new school soft. And they're right.
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! 🏀🏀🏀
Your channel keep mixing it up you're doing a great job Larry Bird was a hell of a passer he made all the players around him better #33 above all he was a Savage
My vote is you do a few more, very good insight...especially knowing other players have to be aware for him to be a great passer. Btw, do White Chocolate for another insane treat.
My favourite thing about sports reactions is (although I'm English,) is that there's no discrimination on colour or teams. I've seen blacks bigging up Bird,whites bigging up Jordan and it's a pity this won't filter out into society in general. Good reaction! 🏴
Bird had a back condition in the 91-92 season. He had a compressed nerve in his back in which left him in excruciating pain for every game. Doctors tried to remove the bad disk but didnt work. So when Magic came along he had trouble just trying to play. Thats why he retired in 1993 Nowadays if someone falls on the court they automatically dont play for like 4 games. Larry didnt care about pain or the fact that he shouldnt have played for many of those games when he was really hurt. Ah the good old days
Your street ball comment was actually pretty insightful. When he was growing up out in the country, he used to go into the city to play street ball with the guys there. So, I would say it’s the other way around. He learned those moves from street ball players he played with back then. That’s probably where he learned his trash talking as well.
there's a YT video of his Dr. explaining his back injury . He played while in pain a lot not just physically but the pain after his dad's suicide and the financial strife of his youth
I originally subbed to you for your Tom reactions. I support anyone who plays his videos. Because you asked, I’m staying tuned because I absolutely love watching Bird playing. So I’m here for it all. Great reactions!
Bird was great because he was around 6'9"-6'10", high motor and a tremendous shooter, but the biggest reason is he really knew how to play with a high basketball IQ!!!!
Magic and Bird, the greatest NBA rivalry; they pulled the NBA out of the ratings slump it was suffering in the late 70s. Now, if you want to return to music reactions but still have a basketball element, and you want to listen to a true tearjerker, you must watch Cryin for me / Wayman's song by Toby Keith. Wayman Tisdale was one of the greatest college basketball players of all time, plus he had a successful NBA career. But his greatest love--after his wife, Regina, and his kids--was music. He taught himself to play the bass guitar. Even more amazing, he was left handed, so he taught himself to play left-handed on a right-handed bass guitar. He went on to become a successful jazz guitarist--and he and Toby Keith, both from Oklahoma, became good friends. So when cancer took Wayman in 2009, Toby wrote and sang "Cryin for Me" as a tribute to his good friend Wayman.
I really appreciate your thoughtful commentary. And that unlike other reactors, you aren’t pushing the whole like/subscribe bit up front before even getting into the video. Anyway, great work. I wish you all the best.
Larry Legend in the 1980s MVP race 79 - 80 rookie of the year 4th in MVP votes 80 - 81 2nd to Dr J 81 - 82 2nd to Moses Malone 82 - 83 2nd to Moses Malone 83 - 84 won 84 - 85 won 85 - 86 won 86 - 87 3rd, Magic won and MJ was 2nd 87 - 88 2nd to MJ perhaps you heard of these guys
Dude, I found your channel trying to get you to pop some of my favorite artist music. Vibes are good, like minded, basketball and others reaction fits good ! A few highly active online groups that are loyal like you got goin, it's just getting your take on the same shit we like ! Put sports reactions in playlists and grow from it all.
The best comment anyone ever gave Larry Legend might have been the great Pat Riley, “if I had to have someone take the last shot for the game, it would be Jordan, if it was for my life, it would be Bird.”
I got to go to a game at the old Boston Garden for my 12th birthday in 1986. The Celtics/Lakers rivalry was everything in the 80’s, especially when you lived in that area. My top five are Magic, Kobe, Jordan, Bird and Bill Russell, who won two championships with the Celtics as a player/coach.
I'm a Larry Bird stan. Loved your reaction. I would do 2 channels, one for music and one for sports. You can make an impression with music reactions. You should do some hockey vids (i.e. biggest hockey fights).
When Larry bird played through the pain it wasn't just that clip that they showed in the interview. For years in his later.career, including the dream team, he had to wear a back brace while he wasn't playing games. Idk if he did that at home but heard he did it on flights. Larry bird was different for sure in the best of ways. Hed be my number 1 pick for a team. People say mj cause he's clutch. Dude! Larry legend is the definition of clutch!!!. Loved the video bro, keep it up!!!
Larry Legend deserved ALL the Flowers! Btw, Larry famously told his teammates they all better be ready to receive passes….if they could make the basket, he’d be passing the ball. If you do Larry reactions, imma tap in. Simple as that.
I usually watch your music reactions. Sometimes I wonder if younger Brothers thinking Bird was just a shooter isn't part of the same bill of goods that has them thinking the Beasties are some band inspired by Limp Bizkit. If they processed how insanely influential people like that were on ball and hip hop they'd have to admit something profound about what we've lost as a society since the mid 80s
I have liked and subscribed. You do an amazing job and your commentary is spot on! And you don't talk over the video so that was really nice. I watched Larry, Magic, Kareem and all the great players! Bird was the best Kareem was right behind him. Magic was the best passer even better than Bird and his assist numbers were off the charts! The best player I ever watched is still Jordan. Bird is somewhere between number 2 and 10 but there are so many great players its hard to say exactly where. At the time Bird played he was the best in my lifetime although I did not watch enough of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain or others to say for sure. Keep posting videos like this! And Thanks!
Check out the one on Michael Jordon! It’s amazing also! I watch any think about Bird or Jordon! I’m from NC, so I followed Jordon from UNC TO NBA, and Bird was my late father’s favorite, so we argued a lot about who was the best, (I miss that😭🤘😬💯) of all time of course!
As far as music goes. Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb came out in the mid 70s. David Gilmour is the guitarist for Floyd, now fast forward to David Gilmour comfortably numb live at Pompei 2016. David is 70 years old in this video and is better than ever. Especially the 2nd solo. You'll experience the sound, lights and atmosphere of Pink Floyd, a must experience YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED.
I didn't know it, but I just watched the video of the Hawks-Celtics game where Bird scored 60 (in New Orleans). It's here on TH-cam That great shot at the end where he called it and fell into the trainers lap? The one that caused the Hawks players to get fined by Mike Fratello? It didn't even count. The refs called the foul before the shot so they disallowed the basket (but the free throws did put him over McHale's record). That's funny.
What a competitor - when Larrys face hit the floor he fractured his right cheek bone and had a concussion but Larry could not sit by and watch his team lose, so he snuck back on court behind his doctors back and they won the game. THAT is the heart of a champion.
He also had double vision. Crazy crazy stuff.
Oh and dropped over 20 points in the 4th quarter
@Krister L it was either this time or another time, he said that he had double vision after a similar injury.
double vision also'
if it was a baseball player he'd be out for two months
Magic took his jersey off after this and was wearing a a Celtics shirt. That's respect.
Something incredible, Larry's retirement 'EVENT' was just that, it was not held before a game, at half time, it was a complete night of it's own, the Boston 'Gahden' SOLD OUT for his retirement EVENT, on it's own....it was an event, all it's own, tickets sold AND sold out

There are def a bunch of other legends. To me it’s Magic and Bird always because they literally brought the NBA back from near death! Those 2 are top of the mountain forever in the NBA!!
That's a fact !
I grew up watching Bird vs Magic and the games were amazing! Bird was an assassin and would dominate even more in today’s NBA!
I can’t even imagine how good he’d be in today’s NBA!!! He’d literally be God if people weren’t allowed to play defense like it is today!!
At the end of the video clip, when they retired Larry's jersey, it was not on a game night. The Celtics held a special ceremony at Boston Garden and tickets for the event sold out in a few hours.

Awesome stats,knowledge!
I had the great pleasure to see this man both live and on TV. He was an absolute beast.
Love some Larry, more of those. The Magic Ultimate Mix Tape is great, too.
My favourite player of all-time Larry Bird! Glad you checked him out.
I got to watch him play,he was phenomenal on the court.
I'm 65, I remember watching them. They are still best of friends.
loved this reaction. also this Mixtape, whoever made it, deserves our thanks it's beautifully put together, editing and soundtrack fits so well.
Supreme confidence and worth ethic. Magic/Bird made must see TV back then. I miss it.
Also, as a bald man I'm suffering severe hair envy right now.
Nice work.

Great reaction - super respectful- the Magic Johnson one is fantastic too - thanks for your thoughts 😊
I’m a showtime Laker fan so only fair if you watch Magic Johnson but will admit Larry is a Legend.
You need to hear the story from Isaiah Thomas about that that play where he stole the ball back. Also check his stats & NBA has him listed as the toughest player in history.
This a highlight of the NBA as it was when I was a kid. It was magical! I loved it.
I’ll definitely leave a comment on this. Larry was a killer. Great reaction
Having been fortunate to watch Bird throughout the 80s, I can assure you it was every bit as amazing as you can imagine.
All time 2 on 2 tournament: Magic and Bird beat whoever you can come up with. Period. 80's NBA was legal street fighting. It's why older heads call the new school soft. And they're right.

These are good history lessons! Keep with it!
MJ picked up Larry’s swagger when Legend retired.
Its an even longer video with all the pausing. Larry legend is the goat.
I love this video, I’ve seen it a few times. I would love to see more sports videos, maybe some football highlights, or maybe some boxing.
Your channel keep mixing it up you're doing a great job Larry Bird was a hell of a passer he made all the players around him better #33 above all he was a Savage
Not a great athlete, but IMO, the most SKILLED pure basketball player ever!
I've seen many commentaries on the Larry Bird ultimate mixtape; yours is one of the best 🏀🏀🏀
Hey, I really appreciate that. Thank you!
My vote is you do a few more, very good insight...especially knowing other players have to be aware for him to be a great passer. Btw, do White Chocolate for another insane treat.

Those great Celtic teams were: Bird-Parrish-Johnson-Mchale.
Ainge
@@thoroakenshield7283 Ainge was good but, but not HOF like those four. Dennis Johnson Is in the HOF, right?
I'm thoroughly enjoying your reactions.
Larry Bird is the reason I was and ALWAYS will be a Celtic FAN

So, I would say it’s the other way around. He learned those moves from street ball players he played with back then. That’s probably where he learned his trash talking as well.

Shaka, first time hearing you, you rock !!!, Basketball was at its best in the 80's and 90's !!!!
Magic and Bird, the greatest NBA rivalry; they pulled the NBA out of the ratings slump it was suffering in the late 70s.
Now, if you want to return to music reactions but still have a basketball element, and you want to listen to a true tearjerker, you must watch Cryin for me / Wayman's song by Toby Keith.

Would love to see you react to Clayton Crowley "Making the Case" for the GOAT with Bird, Jordan, Kobe, etc they are magnificent
Just reacted to that today. Should be out sometime tomorrow. Most likely in the morning.
@@shakashinereacts ima catch it after work tmrw then thank you
Good job!
Can't ever go wrong with a Larry Bird vid. 😄
I like that you have a variety of content on your channel.
Great Reaction--I agree Larry is Definitely TOP 5, Maybe even Top 3!! You should React to MAKING THE CASE FOR LARRY BIRD AS "GOAT"..... 🌸
Alot of people don't know this but not only did larry win mvp 3 straight years but 5 other years he finished runner up
He played with a broken back and missed i think two seasons with double achiles surgery
Don't forget a shattered finger on his shooting hand before he got drafted
Then, in the 4th quarter, he switched back to his right hand and got another 20!!
Great reaction young brother….Mike,Magic & Larry are the best I’ve ever seen
Larry is Top 5 all time, and if he's not at least in your Top 10 all time, you may be a hater.
Larry birds got more clutch than Jordan I’ve seen him make more shots when the game counted down to seconds even more than Jordan this guys incredible
Great reaction dude!
"Larry Bird plays hurt" He was the ultimate player, loved watching him play!
I really appreciate your thoughtful commentary. And that unlike other reactors, you aren’t pushing the whole like/subscribe bit up front before even getting into the video. Anyway, great work. I wish you all the best.
Yes more basketball legends! Lego!! Thx bro you’re doing great!

Dude, I found your channel trying to get you to pop some of my favorite artist music. Vibes are good, like minded, basketball and others reaction fits good ! A few highly active online groups that are loyal like you got goin, it's just getting your take on the same shit we like ! Put sports reactions in playlists and grow from it all.
Bro is wearing his training suit never even takes the jacket off and wins the 3pt champ
Great Job! Loved your comments and perspective.
Birds retirement ceremony was on a nongame day. every ticket was sold ofc!
The best comment anyone ever gave Larry Legend might have been the great Pat Riley, “if I had to have someone take the last shot for the game, it would be Jordan, if it was for my life, it would be Bird.”
These are great on this channel.
Bird and Iverson on the same team would be like the Globetrotters.
I got to go to a game at the old Boston Garden for my 12th birthday in 1986. The Celtics/Lakers rivalry was everything in the 80’s, especially when you lived in that area. My top five are Magic, Kobe, Jordan, Bird and Bill Russell, who won two championships with the Celtics as a player/coach.
13:40 he made a man with a broken hand clap. Legend.
I'm a Larry Bird stan. Loved your reaction. I would do 2 channels, one for music and one for sports. You can make an impression with music reactions. You should do some hockey vids (i.e. biggest hockey fights).
When Larry bird played through the pain it wasn't just that clip that they showed in the interview. For years in his later.career, including the dream team, he had to wear a back brace while he wasn't playing games. Idk if he did that at home but heard he did it on flights. Larry bird was different for sure in the best of ways. Hed be my number 1 pick for a team. People say mj cause he's clutch. Dude! Larry legend is the definition of clutch!!!. Loved the video bro, keep it up!!!
Sorry I didn't mean to say interview, I meant video lmao
Larry Legend deserved ALL the Flowers!
Btw, Larry famously told his teammates they all better be ready to receive passes….if they could make the basket, he’d be passing the ball.
If you do Larry reactions, imma tap in. Simple as that.
Larry "Legend" Bird is the greatest!
Dude great video. Awesome
LOVE this keep it in! ❤❤❤
Dude you gotta watch best of Larry Bird trash talk video! The dude was savage!
i was a passive fan in the 80's as a kid and he was mostly mentioned as a 3 point man. i learned about his skill later on.
Adding various stuff is always good
Great reaction, you should react to Magic's ultimate mixtape and then Michael Jordan's.
Bird was a basketball genius !! Way ahead of his time
I usually watch your music reactions. Sometimes I wonder if younger Brothers thinking Bird was just a shooter isn't part of the same bill of goods that has them thinking the Beasties are some band inspired by Limp Bizkit. If they processed how insanely influential people like that were on ball and hip hop they'd have to admit something profound about what we've lost as a society since the mid 80s
Meaning we're further from Dr King's dream today than we were in 1986
I have liked and subscribed. You do an amazing job and your commentary is spot on! And you don't talk over the video so that was really nice. I watched Larry, Magic, Kareem and all the great players! Bird was the best Kareem was right behind him. Magic was the best passer even better than Bird and his assist numbers were off the charts! The best player I ever watched is still Jordan. Bird is somewhere between number 2 and 10 but there are so many great players its hard to say exactly where. At the time Bird played he was the best in my lifetime although I did not watch enough of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain or others to say for sure. Keep posting videos like this! And Thanks!
Imagine what either Bird or Magic could've done if the other wasn't there.
THE ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS? LARRY "LEGEND" WAS A WINNER. PERIOD!!!!!!!
More Larry Bird reactions!!! SUBBED!!!
Check out the one on Michael Jordon! It’s amazing also! I watch any think about Bird or Jordon! I’m from NC, so I followed Jordon from UNC TO NBA, and Bird was my late father’s favorite, so we argued a lot about who was the best, (I miss that😭🤘😬💯) of all time of course!
As far as music goes. Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb came out in the mid 70s. David Gilmour is the guitarist for Floyd, now fast forward to David Gilmour comfortably numb live at Pompei 2016. David is 70 years old in this video and is better than ever. Especially the 2nd solo. You'll experience the sound, lights and atmosphere of Pink Floyd, a must experience YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED.
Best era of NBA ever.
Bird & Magic were more than friends
They are & always will be family
You won't find that in sports today
I didn't know it, but I just watched the video of the Hawks-Celtics game where Bird scored 60 (in New Orleans). It's here on TH-cam That great shot at the end where he called it and fell into the trainers lap? The one that caused the Hawks players to get fined by Mike Fratello? It didn't even count. The refs called the foul before the shot so they disallowed the basket (but the free throws did put him over McHale's record). That's funny.
He was called basketball Jesus.
