A lot of people put Bird in 6-10 all time, but that’s just stats. They don’t factor in the fact that he and Magic Johnson literally saved the NBA and made it popular again. Their rivalry made games televised again (ratings were worse than re-runs of some shows), made front page news instead of being relegated to the back sports section, and boosted attendance of games to the point where a lot of teams built new stadiums to accommodate more viewers. The majority of NBA arenas that are still being played in were built in the 90’s, a direct result of Bird and Magic popularizing basketball again.
I lived in Boston for a few years before Bird came. The NBA was a joke - the Celtics started selling lifetime passes for $1000 just so that they could get more than 1000 people to attend the games. Larry and Magic came into the league, and within 2 years, game tickets were the hottest item everywhere in the league. Larry didn't care about stats - if he had cared, he would most likely still top every chart - but he cared about the W's and team play - something that too many of today's superstars barely recognize.
@@juniorjohnson9509 that's what I think would've happened. Larry is top 50 in rebounds, points, and assists. Thats with him not stat padding. Imagine if he did stat pad 😳
@@alecvip7562 Bird nearly had a Quadruple double in just 3 qtrs. of the game. He needed just one more steal to achieve it. The Celtics were so far ahead that starters were on the bench when the coach brought it to Bird's attention. Did he want to go back in to get it? Nah, I've done enough damage. When later asked why, Bird said that's not why I play.
I think they’re 1 & 2 they can carry franchises to greatness. A player scorer need perfect squad to excel Kobe/MJ without Paul/Pippen a deferring 2 star & role players spot up shooters & selfless 6th men. But Bird & Magic are plug & play need a play maker 2 best ever, need rebounds walking triple doubles, & need scoring they got you too. Magic is weaker shooter & defender why I got Bird 1. MJ obviously there but he’s early career proves needs perfect team. Bird took one of worst roster to ECF vs legend Dr J prime & beat him next year & defending champs Lakers so bad Magic felt like quitting. If Lakers don’t load up on allstars they don’t stop Bird & still needed McHale in 87 to be injured to beat them guy who guarded Magic on Baby Hook shot. All that is luck & circumstance 88 Isaiah hurt Lakers won, 89 Magic hurt.
Fun reaction! Definitely check out his Passing video and his Trash Talking video - they're both terrific and really give you a sense of what his play was like. I've seen him at the Garden (MSG) a few times against the Knicks (of course, we hated him against our team! lol) amazing player. Definitely one of my top 5 of all time.
Larry came in when most players relied on their one-on-one athleticism to score. He showed them that they needed to up their game in the mental department, because, without their level of athleticism, his brain made them look like fools.
One of his opponents coaches (can't remember which) put it this way, "If I needed a basket to win the game, Jordan. If I needed a basket to save my life? Larry Bird all day long. There are many Bird videos. Passing, 60 pt game, ultimate mix tape, trash talking, take your pick. All are awesome. BTW, I just recently found you while watching Tom MacDonald reactions. Immediately subscribed and belled!! You make an old white Southerner laugh. Keep rocking killer!! I'll be here.

Larry Bird could do it all. He is the best all-around player of all time. Bird could shoot with either hand, he could go left or right and his passing was unbelievable. When guarding him the opposing player had no idea what Bird was going to do. How many players told the opposing team what they were going to do before they did it and then did it. They could not stop him. Some players would make Bird mad. You didn't want to deal with an angry Bird.

You really need to watch the rare Larry bird trash talking videos. Including the story where he made Jason Williams think about commiting suicide. You should also know just how injured Larry bird played. He crushed his knuckle after college before his rookie year. He couldn't feel the basketball anymore and was never as good a shooter as he was in college. He also hurt his back so badly his last several season's they had to put him in traction before and after games just so he could play. The man was as tough as they come.
At the 9:50 timestamp, when Doc is talking about that "night in New Orleans," was the game where Larry broke McHale's 57 point scoring record and the Hawks bench knew that Larry WAS going for it and the moment when Birdman was approaching 60 points (for that game), is when they were cheering Bird and the one guy fell off the bench. Sure they were fined by their coach for cheering him, but it was all sheer respect for Bird's marksmanship. 😀🤘 Rock on!

Athleticism is not defined by the 40 yard dash. Just because he wasn’t a speedster does not mean he wasn’t athletic. His body control was 2nd to none. His hand speed and coordination were also top notch. He may not have been “fast” but his quickness was amazing. .
Pat Riley said that if he needed someone to take a shot to win a game, he would choose Jordan. If he needed someone to take a shot to save his life, he’d choose Bird!
Larry legend is the ONLY player to win league MVP 3 consecutive years since the ABA merger and is the only player to win Rookie of the year, league MVP, Finals MVP AND All-Star MVP!
Man, you gotta watch them all, lol. "Larry Bird Makes Player Contemplate Suicide" or some similar. Go to the bathroom first, you don't want to wet yourself laughing!
Larry legend is top 5 dead or alive. The clutch gene. A savage. Imagine someone telling you what he is about to do and that you can't do anything about it. If you want views react to Larry Bird. Lol
There is a video Ll about the injuries Larry Legend played with through his career. Some from before his first NBA game, watch that first and you will have an even greater appreciation of his accomplishments. I cant remember the title of the video but shouldn't be hard to find.
1) Nearly all of these Larry Bird tribute videos begin by insulting him with some comment like "he wasn't very athletic, so how could he play so well?" Yes, he was very athletic! I don't understand this nonsense. 2) LeBron talked about how Bird played until he couldn't anymore. At the end of his career his back was so bad he couldn't sit on the bench during games. Instead, he would lie on the floor just out-of-bounds. 3) Larry Bird would have been an all-time great on any team. But he was better on the '80s Celtics, whose point guard (Dennis Johnson), power forward (Kevin McHale), and center (Robert Parish) are also in the Hall of Fame. The only starter from the mid-'80s Celtics not in the Hall of Fame is the shooting guard Danny Ainge. All he did was score 15-17 PPG. In the 1985-86 season the Celtics had a 67-15 record. Their record at home was 40-1, an all-time best tied by San Antonio in 2016. 4) I began watching the Celtics at age 15 during that amazing 1985-86 season. They could beat teams in every way: jump shooting, low-post play, fast break, passing, defense. I watched some of the recent NBA finals, the first NBA basketball I had watched in more than a decade, and I found the style of play infuriating. Everybody wants to take 3-pointers (it is impressive how many big men can now shoot them). If they go in, you win; if not, you lose. I saw plays where one guy is taking an 18-footer and his 4 teammates are outside the 3-point-line; no one was even trying for an offensive rebound. Too much one-on-one play and not enough pick-and-roll and pick-and-pop plays. Guys penetrating with the ball and then passing back out for a 3-pointer instead of driving to the basket and getting the other team in foul trouble. Minimal mid-range jumpers, low-post play, and fast breaks. I have zero basketball skills, and yet I found myself yelling at the screen telling the players what to do.
Bird is the last player to win 3 consecutive MVP awards. He also finished 2nd four times if I remember correctly. There are interviews I have seen over the years that have Jordan talking about how he learned from Bird to improve his game. Bird is 2 on my list and there's not a lot of space between him and Jordan.
tell you how good Larry was. Before coming to the NBA Larry fractured many knuckles on his hands. one finger was, literally, facing the wrong way. Did it in a baseball game. He had surgery and the ball never felt right in his hands since that baseball game. He still accomplished what he did in the NBA!! Also...the Bulls (with Michael Jordan) never beat the Celtics in the playoffs while Larry Bird was playing. Thats how good he was!!
Great reaction dude! New sub! Also, check out Larry Bird's 50+ passing RE-EDIT, Makimg the case for Larry Bird Goat status, and The most DISRESPECTFUL game Larry Bird ever played by Prime Larry Bird. Peace!❤
Bird didn't need to be the fastest. Many , if not most of the greats were super quick and could get to the ball, position super fast. Bird, knew 3 seconds in advance where the ball, play was going to be. He didn't need to be quick, he was already there.
A lot of people put Bird in 6-10 all time, but that’s just stats. They don’t factor in the fact that he and Magic Johnson literally saved the NBA and made it popular again.

THX Cammm I really love your reactions, your such a cool young guy ty please put out some more videos 👍🐐☘️☘️☘️☘️ 33
its kinds cool to see these young black guys discovering Bird, seems to blow``them away was there anybody in history that was strong in so many areas?
IMHO he's the NO DOUBT 1st team SF in NBA history
There is a video Ll about the injuries Larry Legend played with through his career. Some from before his first NBA game, watch that first and you will have an even greater appreciation of his accomplishments. I cant remember the title of the video but shouldn't be hard to find.
Two videos
5 injuries.... Bird refused to quit
and
4 crazy stories....
Both worth a reaction
Larry Bird Mixtape!!
1) Nearly all of these Larry Bird tribute videos begin by insulting him with some comment like "he wasn't very athletic, so how could he play so well?" Yes, he was very athletic! I don't understand this nonsense.
2) LeBron talked about how Bird played until he couldn't anymore. At the end of his career his back was so bad he couldn't sit on the bench during games. Instead, he would lie on the floor just out-of-bounds.
3) Larry Bird would have been an all-time great on any team. But he was better on the '80s Celtics, whose point guard (Dennis Johnson), power forward (Kevin McHale), and center (Robert Parish) are also in the Hall of Fame. The only starter from the mid-'80s Celtics not in the Hall of Fame is the shooting guard Danny Ainge. All he did was score 15-17 PPG. In the 1985-86 season the Celtics had a 67-15 record. Their record at home was 40-1, an all-time best tied by San Antonio in 2016.
4) I began watching the Celtics at age 15 during that amazing 1985-86 season. They could beat teams in every way: jump shooting, low-post play, fast break, passing, defense. I watched some of the recent NBA finals, the first NBA basketball I had watched in more than a decade, and I found the style of play infuriating. Everybody wants to take 3-pointers (it is impressive how many big men can now shoot them). If they go in, you win; if not, you lose. I saw plays where one guy is taking an 18-footer and his 4 teammates are outside the 3-point-line; no one was even trying for an offensive rebound. Too much one-on-one play and not enough pick-and-roll and pick-and-pop plays. Guys penetrating with the ball and then passing back out for a 3-pointer instead of driving to the basket and getting the other team in foul trouble. Minimal mid-range jumpers, low-post play, and fast breaks. I have zero basketball skills, and yet I found myself yelling at the screen telling the players what to do.
Larry was VERY athletic! He just wasn't graceful athletic like Magic and so many others.
Yes! More Bird
He was a 3 time consecutive league MVP.
You should look into his relationship with Magic Johnson.
watch birds ultimate mixtape!!!
React to Larry Bird mixtape or making the case Larry Bird. You won't be disappointed.
Have you done a reaction to Dennis Rodman? If you haven't, you really gotta. Hardest working player to ever step on the hardwood.
The Legend
Bird is the last player to win 3 consecutive MVP awards. He also finished 2nd four times if I remember correctly. There are interviews I have seen over the years that have Jordan talking about how he learned from Bird to improve his game. Bird is 2 on my list and there's not a lot of space between him and Jordan.
Bird is arguably the best NBA player by far.

react to larry bird is the greatest passer of all time RE EDIT..
Larry: "Don't ever put a white boy on me." - That's why they call him Larry Legend.
Larry is #2 behind Jordan and ahead of Magic imo. Bird was the smartest, most clutch, most complete player of all time.
tell you how good Larry was. Before coming to the NBA Larry fractured many knuckles on his hands. one finger was, literally, facing the wrong way. Did it in a baseball game. He had surgery and the ball never felt right in his hands since that baseball game. He still accomplished what he did in the NBA!! Also...the Bulls (with Michael Jordan) never beat the Celtics in the playoffs while Larry Bird was playing. Thats how good he was!!
Larry Bird is the Greatest All Around Player Ever!!!
You got to watch the “Larry Bird Ultimate Mixtape”
Mix tape
Bird was blacker than blacks. Thats why they all loved him and respected him
For sure, watch some highlight...i was a Laker fan but Bird and Jordan we're severe threats...Larry is very respectable!!!

...he also beat Jordan twice, SWEEPS BOTH TIMES !!!, in the playoffs. Imagine Larry if he was also ATHLETIC !!! He'd own the record book !
Bird didn't need to be the fastest. Many , if not most of the greats were super quick and could get to the ball, position super fast. Bird, knew 3 seconds in advance where the ball, play was going to be. He didn't need to be quick, he was already there.
Clutchest player ever
