"Michael made you look slow. Larry made you look stupid."
When Michael Jordan scores you say "Wow"; when Larry Bird scores, you say "How???"
@@ofermashiach4519 🤣yes
80s NBA was so fun to watch. Those rivalries were off the hook great entertainment. They were tough as nails. Those Pistons, Celtics, Lakers, Bulls teams were amazing. Those days are long gone.
And Shaq made you look tiny 🤣
@@gutelaunetyp Don't forget, Wilt made Shaq look average! Wilt shook Shaq's entire body with a handshake🤣While Shaq stood there like a timid puppy dog.
Larry was the incarnation of the game, he understood how to play. Knew when to pass, when to go pick and roll, when to take a shot, etc... Many kids should take inspiration in him instead of just wanting to dunk anytime.
@Thomas Cavanaugh Exactly, that's why i rarely watch games nowadays.
@Thomas Cavanaugh haha sad time in NBA no doubt. I personally "fouled out" of the nba when they took the fight out of the game.
@@andybilakshow260 I was a huge Suns fan for 30some yrs. Didn't watch a single game this season yet. The NBA has lost me.
Basketball IQ off the charts.
@@carlraffen6543 Prime Bird before his back started givig him problems would definitely be on my all time starting 5
Jordan could Fly, Ervin was Magic, and Larry is Legend.
“Which one of y’all boys is coming in 2nd?”
One of my fav trash talking
That shit was fucking cold.
It's a testament to a players skill when your greatest rivals still respect you decades later.
I swear the best kind of trash talking is just telling them your game plan. Like telling them the future and they can’t do anything about it. But you can only do it if you’re Larry bird.
Nobody else told the play. Wasn't that the purpose of the "huddle" haha, Larry didn't huddle, he was at the other bench spelling it out. Then walks to his huddle & says "I'm getting the ball"🤣
It wasn't even disrespectful. It was pure trash talk
I think Larry had the mindset of putting on a clinic, like “School is in session, this is how the game is played.”
This was all about getting in people's heads. If you can get in someone's head, you can get them out of their game. There are few things more demoralizing than having someone tell you what they are going to do and then you not being able to stop it. For all but the greatest of players, that would get people out of their game real quick.
Bird told Cooper, Worthy, Pippen, Rodman, MJ, Magic, Payton anybody try to guard him the play no top 5 ever did that consistently in the playoffs ECF, Finals. A healthy Bird is the goat 🐐 broke hand predraft & broke back mid 3 time MVP run. Imagine if he was healthy 3x MVP & Finals.
Larry Bird is the greatest SF of all time hands down, and has rights to the GOAT
GOAT argument, especially for playing in very strong and tough era against other Goats, namely Jordan and Magic. Also won NBA titles single handedly without top superstars or big 3's . Also Defeated a fully loaded Lakers team that possessed two goats in Kareem and Magic, in a 7 game series. That's says a whole lot about Bird's will and determination to win .
Facts
Sorry Bron has surpassed him at SF
Yeah , sure ! In points totals , and years played in NBA yes he has surpassed all the greats, but better player than Bird, no way. Lebron needs big superstars with him to win titles. Bird won titles without big names alongside him.
@@FuShengAlex most of LBJ's achievements are a result of longevity. He has everyone on the ropes in that facet. Larry's first 9 years are unparalleled. The issue for Larry in the goat debate is longevity. He didn't do "it" for long enough but he did do 'it' better than anyone else. Lebron is definitely more gifted overall but Larry did much more with what he had. As has been said many times before, Larry's greatest asset was between his ears.
Legend was cerebral asf. As an LA kid and die hard Lakers fan, Larry was the only player on the Celtics that I feared. Without Bird, the Celtics would've been just an average team. People seem to forget he won 3 straight Association MVP's- 1984, 85, 86. Dude was a straight up killer.
and in the other 6 or 7 years following his rookie of the year performance finished top 2. Pre injury bird was next level
Well said, cerebral
Take Magic off the Lakers and they're just as average as a Bird-less Celtics, you get that, right? No one was scared of the Lakers without Magic. 99% of all basketball teams are just one guy who makes the team elite and when you remove that one player, it's just an average team.
Same thing with the lakers if you take magic off the Lakers they are very average don't forget how good Kevin McHale was plus parish was very good himself.
@@joewhitaker8708 True. The Lakers already had Norm Nixon, Michael Cooper and Kareem before drafting Magic. So, those guys were pretty good too. Magic and Bird not only changed their teams for the better, they changed the Association.
He really is one of the best. Loved watching him play. Miss that sportsmanship and love of the game.
Bird is the most underrated player in NBA history. If he played in the modern NBA with all the rules against physical play, he would have been twice as effective. Bird was getting hammered on a regular basis during his career, it would still happen but much, much less and there would be a lot more fouls called.
Wtf u smoking son put some respect on bird he has more heart then todays cry babys
Bird is the most underrated player in NBA history?
That is complete bullshit.
Perhaps learn the definition of the word "underrated"
Birds intelligence of the game and his mental game were elite. His shot accuracy and his deception tactics were also next level. He was constantly a step ahead making his opponents think he was going the other direction. Bird was a scientist on the court in my opinion. He could break it down entirely, master the understanding of the game and throw everything he learned right in your face. A lot of people couldn’t contend with that.
That carried through as a coach and executive besides as a player. He's recieved awards for being coach and exec of the year besides player of the year 3x.
Made it look like he was playing his little brother's in the driveway.
Well said. Bird's basketball I.Q. was superior. He mastered all phases of the game.
loved bird as a kid, nice to hear all these legends speak about the bird
Larry Bird retired 30 years ago and ppl still talk about him like he’s the John Wick of basketball. That’s when you know you’re a bad ass.
People don't realize that Larry watched his father go to work with an ankle that was black and blue and swollen as hell.
Kevin Durant is a hell of an offensive player BUT Bird would and could carry a team on his back. He had leadership skills that would be foreign today.
True that.
Durant is a great scorer, like McAdoo or Wilkins. Bird is the orchestra leader who plays all instruments,
I have never forgotten that
The most telling metric about how valuable a player is is how they make their team better. When Bird came to the Celtics their record was 29-53. In his first season they did nothing but add Bird and they went 62-20. 33 game turnaround. In college he took a totally backstreet college (Indiana State) and led a bunch of jokers to a 33-0 season on his back. They lost in the finals and haven’t been heard from since Bird left in 79’. That’s greatness and value!!!! No knock on Magic but he went to a team that had the career scoring leader in Kareem Jabbar.
@@drbobperkins and kareem got injured and rookie magic played every position and got the championsip home winning fmvp.... they were both great and both had great teammates.... dennis johnson was a fmvp in seattle... bill walton, mchale, parish, ainge.... maxwell won fmvp in 81... they both had super teams and they both were the best on that team... 91 magic made the finals without kareem too..... larry was to the celtics what magic was to the lakers.... period... don´t have to try to discredit people trying to seem nice... no knock my ass...
never enough about Larry, he was mean and scary but only for the game, the best type of athlete masterclass
James Worthy said guarding Jordan made you look slow but guarding Bird made you look stupid.
I'm 66, live in LA a huge Wilt and Jerry West fan. I saw Wilt's last game in person. LA against NY. Wilt retired because Jack Kent Cook wouldn't give Wilt a raise, he was making $250,000 and wanted $300, 000 because Peli was making $300,000. West retired at the start of the next season. He was still a very good player, better than most guards in the league but couldn't play up to his own standards. I heard him say in 1973 that someone dribbled past him that had no business being on the court with him....thats when he retired. Bird was the same way. He could still play but he had standards to live up to. Those standards were his own.
If Wilt wanted to he could have played two or three more years, told the coach "I want to score more ". Then he would have put the scoring title out of reach of anyone. Remember, Wilt played at Kansas, then played for the Harlem Globe Trotters. Give Wilt 5 more years at a young man, the record might be 45,000 pts.
I believe Wilt is the GOAT
MJ is the second best.
But if I were to start a team my first 2 would be
#1. Wilt
#2. Bird
I hated Larry in the 80s
Lakers were my team.
But of all the players I miss, from Wilt to Magic to Kobe....
It's LARRY.
Agreed! Started watching basketball in late 50's, Bird the most dominant. If he was still playing I'd watch today.
Wilt’s Ego got in the way of making in all time record that Kareem couldn’t touch that record.
@@RiruKrypto_ you're probably right, but there aren't to many athletes of his caliber with no ego. Plus at that last game against the Nicks I waited at the ramp out side the Forum to get West's and Wilt's autograph. You could do that back then. Wilt came out and talk to me all the way to his car, about 100 yards away. I was the only guy around, that's when he told me he needed more money from the owner. By the way, what do you think he was driving? A 1972 station wagon. It was his prize for being the MVP of the playoffs the previous year. It was nothing special but there were about a dozen volleyball in the back. If you don't know, he was a very good player...
P.S. Goodrich was driving an orange Datson 240 Z, West was driving a red Ferrari, I think it was a Daytona.
I'm 66 and can remember crazy stuff about the Lakers back then.
One more thing, that last year the Lakers had no business being in the finals if it weren't for Wilt. Chicago had em beat.
Sorry for rambling.
@@gregturk2824 I wasn’t even born during his playing time but always down to listen to your stories about Wilt, imagine if he didn’t retired then he would’ve definitely made history that neither Kareem or LeBron will catch that record but that’s only a fantasy now, he didn’t want to continue his legacy and tried to get his money elsewhere.
What about Kareem? 6 MVP 's? He's easily top 3. I'm a huge, huge Larry Bird fan but I understand Kareem and his greatness!
Larry Legend 🏀🏀🏀
I like the opinions of the fans, but when the players speak...it's something else, every day I like Larry more...and I'm a fan of the lakers
indeed! I hated him during the 80s. It wasn't until I got older that I realized this was really respect disguised under a layer of jealousy
Bird DID play 3/4's of a game left handed. Scored 47 points
I think that was against Portland? He told them he was saving his right hand for a more important game 😂😂😂
@@bobburris4445 😂😂😂
@@bobburris4445Yeah, he said he was saving his right hand for the Lakers
You know what was really bizarre about the 80’s Celtics is that they didn’t even look particularly healthy let alone a championship team. Bird was all elbows and knees and not very athletic, Parrish looked like a monster from a Japanese horror movie and McHale looked like a science experiment gone horribly wrong. Man could they play ball though.
The reason why the Jamal Mashburn story happened was because the Dream Team had to practice against college kids! And the night before Rodney Rogers had told Larry Bird that he hadn't hit a jumper since 84! And Magic was there! And Larry Bird fired back: young fella, it's gonna be a long frigging weak (he used the other f word)! And next day Larry Bird hit 8-9 shots in row in Rodney Rogers grill and was telling him exactly what he was gonna do! And his final quip, was the one that Jamal Mashburn said! 84 huh? Larry Bird was one of my favorite players when I was a kid in the 80s, and a teenager in the early 90s! A huge shoutout to Larry legend!
Thanks for the context bro. I had no idea what 84 was about😂🤣😂🤣
@@TheKoolace17 I just stumbled upon that video where it had the complete story, that’s why I decided to give context! You can TH-cam it! Peace!
Best player, probably ever. He started with ROY and finishing 4th, then 1st or 2nd for 8 straight years including 3 consecutive MVPs. Injuries hampered the number of games that he was able to play afterwards but he still performed at an elite level when he was able to play. By far the best all around shooter who ever played. And by far the best performer under pressure that basketball will ever see.
@BDWell said !❤
I think that Bird wouldn’t get those fouls in today’s game for the trash talk. He would tell you the play and then do it. He’d emphasize this part of his trash talk. Larry was endlessly inventive. I don’t know about those huge numbers that so many speculate that he’d have. He’d score whatever was necessary for whatever team he joined and make everyone around him better.
Whatever team?
You misspelt 'Celtics'
@@sugarnads 🤣
Larry Bird has always been my GOAT and will remain so.
Larry Bird is top 5 greatest players of all time
Easy, i have him number 3 after MJ and Kob
I grew up watching Larry on local TV …PRE cable! Dude was as gangsta as anyone who ever laced em up.
Indiana State or high school? I remember when they played NMSU in the MVC. Overtime game! Listened on the radio!
@@stuksy4321 1980 -1985 local Boston TV aired ALL the Celtics games. I rarely missed one. Larry was must see TV for me and my friends back then, back when the NBA actually played defense 🤣
Two of my fellow Airman were arguing about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson one day back in the 90's. I didn't fully understand the situation, but I do now.
Huge Bird fan here, like, dude is my brother but mad respect for Magic
One of the greatest shooters to ever play the game! :)
… and passer
The greatest. He faced actual defense not the shit that goes on in today’s NBA.
It's easy to talk when you never played against him but when you hear guys that were actually great say that Larry scared them, that they can't think of ANYONE that is was or ever will be LIKE him, that is pretty much the highest praise you can get as a player.
They say Bird wasn't athletic but he was quick and had really good agility for his height along with super hand eye coordination and basketball IQ which was what made him great. To be more accurate he wasn't a short distance track athlete like the guys that entered the dunk contest. He probably could have hustled to a respectable 400 meter time. Longer distance up to 1500 meters I think he'd have left those high fliers in the dust. Ran a 5:20 mile his first day as Pacers coach when he was 40. That's fast.
Ya, Larry gets stereotyped. But if you watch these highlite clips, he could jump, run, shoot, etc. Maybe late in his career, after a back injury, he may have slowed down and was more cerebral than athletic, but most of his career he was as fast and athletic as anyone his size!
@@BST-lm4po I think Larry's "quickness" was in his head. And once he got into your head, it was game over. Nobody could outthink him. That IMHO is what made him unstoppable because he wasn't "fast or athletic" to the untrained eye. Now that's an efficient player.
He truly brought to life the saying "get your head in the game". You needed a strong wit and nerves of steel to stop him from pulling up on you.
@@andybilakshow260😅
He wasn't slow getting down the other end.
Another fun episode! I'd heard Xavier McDaniel's story about how Bird told him exactly what he was going to do beforehand, but I didn't realize Bird would do that to so many other players, as well. How funny! 🤣
Bird was regarded as one of the most notorious trash talkers in nba history.
@@Runforestrun Yes, that I knew. I just didn't know he did that one specific bit of trash talking so much to others. What a nut he was. 🤣
The thing that convinces me that Bird is GOAT is how his peers, many of whom are legends and in consideration to be GOAT, revere Bird.
Bird 🐐
Too bad MJ could never beat him 🤣
Sean, your Bird pods are the best, brother. Always new fresh content, quotes, and footage. 73 million views, bruh. Keep rollin. Love what you do!
Back in elementary/middle school I was in love with Larry Bird. I watched all his games. He was so sick on the court. He's was and still is my favorite player!
I love the joy and love that comes from these guys as they tell the Bird stories. They are genuinely enjoying themselves as they share those memories.
After 30 years of retirement, Larry Legend's stock is STILL going UP!!!
Edit: posted this before reading any comments, so I make no apology for redundancy.
2nd Edit:. And I applaud those who made the same observation.
This stuff just takes me back and makes me smile. And appreciate the quality of the game when Larry played.
Larry had terrific hands, tremendous court vision, an absolutely deadly shot from anywhere on the court and was a solid 6’9”. No wonder he was great.
(Folks who note he wasn’t very fast and didn’t jump very high sound ridiculous.)
He did not need to either be as fast as others or jump as high, he just instead made way for his shots or passes through his intellect!
That was God’s way of evening up the game for the other players!
Larry Bird is the greatest of all time. All of the new generation play in an era of zero defense. Durant in the 80s or 90s would average about 16 points a game.
I just love your style and professionalism. No street talk just real intelligent commentary. Great stuff.
Prime Bird = G.O.A.T.
🎉 B I N G O 🎉
You consistently produce excellent videos sir!
Agreed.
Agreed 👍
Don’t forget the playoff game that Bird took a jump ball from Hakeem.
Bird doesn't get mentioned enough in people's top 10.
Of course he doesn't because hes white and "nonathletic" IE the bronsexuals would say if KD decided to close out on bird he would he ever get a shot off against someone whose so long and athletic...
By people who don't know basketball.
Bird is basically top 5 all time.
Jordan
Bron
Kareem
Magic
Bird
He was better imo than Shaq and even Kobe.
@@Runforestrun love the top 5!
Because he is white. For me he is in the top 3. Scoring, passing, clutch, rebounds, plays injured, etc. Of course there are a lot of very good players in history. MJ, Larry, Wilt, Kareem, Kobe, Magic, Malone, Stockton, Isaiah, Lebron, Bill, Hakeem, etc..but Bird is in the top 3 for sure.
@@matimanya I respect your opinion.
I seen him play. I was 18 and it was Jan 30, 1988 at the silverdome. Had this promotion so they had nearly 62,000 people for the Bad boys against the celtics. It was crazy, i'll never forget it. Pistons won but it was cool watching him play. Been a fan of his since.
It was actually Friday, January 29th, 1988 and it was on TBS. More importantly, that was great that you experienced the greatest era of the NBA
Bird was the living, breathing, embodiment of the game. He was above genius IQ of the game.
Magic Oscar Walton Kareem, not just Bird
@@Alan-fk2kt
Stop writing crap.
Larry Bird was better than Magic, Oscar, Kareem and Walton.
Larry Bird was a basketball genius.
@@capitanfuturo594bird was not better than magic. You’re the one who needs to stop writing crap. Tf did your mom teach you kid
He had that "street smarts" and was one of the 3 deadliest players ever set foot on the court
Bird was truly playing chess while playing. Two or three moves locked and loaded depending on what the defender was doing. Just listen to Worthy explaining it
I hated Bird as a kid. I loved the Sixers, but man ....I love hearing these stories about Bird. Incredible.
Very nice Sean! Included a couple I had never seen before. Thank you!
My favorite Larry Bird storyteller.
“I couldn’t imagine how good Larry would’ve been had he not told you where he was gonna shoot it from.”
It would be the same because he made all of them anyway.
When people say “Larry Bird isn’t athletic,” what they mean is “relative to Jordan, Dr J, and Wilt.”
When the pros say it, they mean relative to the best athletes in the game - that is, he wasn’t beating you because he was athletic.
But trust me: Larry Bird was a phenomenal athlete.
Tom Brady failed the combine.
Even his high jump was right in the middle among NBA players.
Love you ❤️ my Brother. So appreciate your respect as a young person for my guy Larry. Also that league was SO different. Much more physical at times violent. The guys didn't shoot as well for sure. But everything else was better. Love your videos! Thanks so much
Absolutely love listening to these stories about Larry Bird. I like how a lot of NBA players told there stories about how he would TELL THEM WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO! Then , YES! he would do it. Remember watching him and the Celtics playing the Detroit Pistons games. He took no crap from Bill Lambeer. Was watching that night when Bird got into fight with Bill. Then loved it! When Bird throwed the ball towards Bill Lambeer s head. He took no junk, hut he dished out a lot of junk! Have always loved my Boston Celtics.
Bird made up for his lack of speed and size with having the ability of understanding the game. He was like a chess player and always thinking about what to do three or four moves in the future. They say he was a shit talker.. but when you tell someone what you are going to do then do it that’s just taking facts.
6th grade, our elementary school just got these weird Atari-Like things called Apple 2E's. We had Oregon Trail and Bird v Magic. I can't remember what I said or did yesterday, but I can remember taking Magic to town as Bird way back in the day.
People make fun of Rodman, but man has more respect and admiration for his fellow man than a lot of people who make fun of him do. Glad dude turned his life around from his time before the NBA. Dude had it tough.
Larry was a team player. While also being a star. Something Jordan and James never quite understood.
You are so right. What's more is most spectators still don't understand. With that said, there is only 1 #1 of all time. Larry Bird.
first he doesn´t have killer mentality, now he is not a team player, lol make a decision lol
there are different ways to improve a team and be valuable to a team lol 6 rings and 6fmvps 5 mvps, 4-4-4 for lebron.... rodman has 5 rings for a reason...
@@reimixo I rest my case.🙃
@@andybilakshow260 I wasn't even talking to you lol bye bye
9:23 - that's my favorite thing, through this whole video, everybody hints at them seeing Larry for the first time, and everybody else laughs. They all know how insane he is.
I live 30 mins south of Boston. Watching guys warm up and not miss shots is amazing. Bird never missed any.
Being from Indiana, I love hearing about Bird. I graduated HS in 2000. So, I only really got to appreciate his game in the tail end of his career.
I saw Bird in a free throw contest back in the day. He was a freaking machine, putting balls up as fast as he could pull them off the rack. Bucket. Bucket. Bucket. Bucket.
Bird was underrated when it comes to athletism,if he wouldn't have hurt his back in his prime, he would have won 9 straight championship's
Amazing to hear them talking about Larry! lololol
Larry impacted everybody's game. If you had game, He'd impact that too🤣
Those stories are so much fun, and they're coming from great players. It's nice to see these retired grades give each other their flowers.
Before injuries, Bird was able to dunk; People forget.
Lebron does that in his sleep
I just love how Larry and Magic totally respect each other and always have. I'm a Lakers fan and absolutely HATE the Celtics but I will not tolerate anyone speaking ill of Larry.
Thanks your a REAL FAN NOT NO FAKE ASS THANKS LARRY WAS AND IS A LEGEND period..Amazing and I'm From Indiana ✌️🇺🇸✌️
Love to hear this. I’m a Celtics fan and hated the Lakers during the 80’s, but love looking back at those epic battles. Nothing but respect and admiration for those Lakers teams. I still think Worthy doesn’t get enough credit for how good he was. Bird and Magic were two of the best ever! Not only were they great individually, they made everyone else better.
There's a great story on YT called Magic and Bird: A Rivalry gives way to friendship that you might enjoy. Cool to hear them both speak about respect for each other.
Always love hearing the Larry Bird stories from all the greats!!!
Love all the Larry Bird stories, and loved the parts in Winning Time relating to him. Sad parts about his dad too. Tragic.
My favorite thing about him over his mental toughness, skills, competitiveness,humor, and his shit talking was his genuineness and humility.
He came from humble beginnings, and when Magic was at his lowest point in life… Larry was the first to check on him that he was ok. Like Magic said, “That’s when you find out who your real friends are.”
Bird is as real as it gets.
Larry Legend is the best small forward to ever play.
Imagine Luka Doncic, with more size. Larry Legend would dominate today's 3 pt heavy league. His jump shot was soaking wet, along with his rebounding, astounding passing ability and genius level basketball IQ, there would be no way to defend him. I consider Bird the most fundamentally sound player ever to pick up the rock, and if I ever wanted to pick one guy to teach my kid how to play the sport correctly, it would be Bird.
I never get tired of listening to Larry Bird stories
Great collection of stories. Thanks for posting.
Larry Bird is Cold-The Glove
Larry Bird stories never gets old!
Mate, I'm in my fifties and love seeing Larry's legacy being continued. I'm a Brit', about as far away from you as a Brit' can be (Lowestoft, Suffolk, UK) and I wanna' thank you for this. ✌️
Nothing but smiles and entertainment with this 1
I was a Laker fan and just thought the Larry Bird was all hype and a lucky player. I didn’t rate him because he was slow and couldn’t jump plus he was white. Obviously I didn’t know what I was talking about and didn’t really understand the game. Larry Bird was a bad man and even though I’m still a Laker fan. Bird is my favourite player because I understand the game better now.
Come on people love Jordan but Larry is the goat !!!
This is one of the best Larry Bird videos. Great presentation. Thanks.
Larry legend, baby
Larry earned all these guys respect that is not easy to do!

I wished I had more chances to watch him play. I got to watch his last few years but mostly got to hear the stories. true legend
Larry has got to,be the biggest small forward to ever play at 6'10"
began his career at power forward, moved to small forward to make room for both Chief and Kevin McHale to start
Bird > Lebron
Easy
LBJ has had a longer career and Prime. But I’m in agreement that Peak Larry > Peak LBJ.
Peak MJ is the only other guy in Peak Bird’s air, and even MJ wasn’t the shooter Larry was.
Doesn’t even need to be said. It goes without saying.
@@nicholasbullock1709 But it is sooo much fun to say it!

Hey thanks for your channel. Love 80s-90's ball. And I loved watching Dr. J and David Skywalker in the 70s even. And Kareem was the glue that held all those decades together (well at least through 89). I remember the White Shadow tv show. One-On-One movie. Fast Break; but when Larry and Magic arrived on the scene in college... man that was huge (and college basketball was already more popular than the NBA back then --- at least that's what I recall with Billy Packer (Rest in peace) and Dick Enberg). Great memories of great games on the tube.
When they say Bird wasn't athletic, what do they even mean? Define athletic
You can claim Kobe and MJ but Bird is the real 🐐
Big fan of your channel. Love when you talk about players whose game is under-appreciated these days. Bird, Duncan, Stockton, etc.
Keep up the great work - great content too! Have to admit I might be biased a little. I grew up in Terre Haute, graduated from Indiana State in ‘96 and have the ‘79 Sycamore team picture on the wall in my office.
This was amazing ! As a Laker fan, more back in the day, I hated Larry but looking back…I admire him more and honestly shocked how much of his game I missed.
KD is a great player but Bird is superior. Both are great shooters / scorers. Bird is a better rebounder and far better passer.
Love it man, great video
If not for a bad back and the untimely death of len bias (who could've helped larry/boston win more championships), larry would definitely crowd mj in the goat debate
Larry is a high lottery pick in a fantasy draft of the Greats.
I don't even like basketball but l could listen these legends for days.
