I am a Sonics fan back then, living 15 miles from Seattle. Just last year seeing these videos of Birdman. Master at his, craft. One of the toughest men I've seen now.
I lived in Boston in the 80s. Bird (and Magic) elevated the game, and Boston fans were insane! A great era. And, remember, the US Olympic ice hockey team also beat the Soviet team in 1980. Heady times.
THIS man is the best strong forward to ever play. He is also why Brhonda doesn't even deserve to be in the 🐐 Conversation; Brhonda's not even the 🐐 at his own position. 😂😂😂
Bird's trash talking and his game on the court made players fake injury and illness, just so they wouldn't play against Bird, or have to check him. They would sit out the game. It was called having "The Bird Flu." LOL. 😂😂
Bird and Magic had the highest basketball IQ's I ever seen...Bird made everyone around him better...He would beat his opponent in so many different ways... Great reaction 👍
I don't remember what NBA player said this he said Michael Jordan made you look slow but Larry Bird made you look stupid😅😅😅😅😅 I just adore everything about Larry Bird on and off the court😊😊😊
@@warrenhughes911 I liked it as well there's nobody like Larry Bird and not just a baller he's is just so awesome as a person you just have to admire him
Yeah, Larry’s youngest brother Eddie also went to Indiana State. He was a pretty good basketball player, but not quite up to his big brother’s level. I’m sure it was frustrating at times (I know this well, being the not-so-athletic younger sister to 2 quite-athletic older sisters)
I was a Lakers fan. I saw the showtime Lakers in person. Magic was always my childhood hero. I hated Bird with every cell in my body. But I’ve come around. I hated him for a reason. Because he was that good. And yeah he was a Celtic lol!
I'm from Philly, born & raised and saw Bird in his prime at the Philadelphia Spectrum (RIP) as a kid. I hated Larry Bird and the Celtics so much but I knew he could play. He had skills for real. My 1983 76ERS and 1989 Pistons are the only teams to win the NBA Championship, not named Celtics or Lakers.
a person that could not run or jump was the best trash talker, greatest fundamentalist player of all time, one of the three legends that won MVP three times in a row that won three times as a champion that went to the All-Star games, pretty much his entire career in exception to one year when he was injured coach of the year executive of the year I remember watching him back in 85 when I first started watching Bball I was seven years old and I was in awe because this white dude was torching the best players black players in the NBA till obviously till Jordan came about that same year
Not a huge BBball fan.. My Daddy raised me on Football and Baseball.. I'm watching my Orioles right now.. Sorry dad .. not a Philly fan.. But I did grow up with my Daddy watching Dr. J and Moses Malone, Sir Charles, total Sixers fan and he hated some Larry Bird. I'm so loving watching these Bird reaction videos.. I'm fixing to become a Bball fan.. I need to learn the lingo.. I know football and baseball I need to learn bball terms.. game is exciting.
MJ saw both AI and Kobe come into the league. Tracy MacGrady, Vince Carter, Tim Duncan, Shaq, Jasn Kidd, White Chocolate, Steve Nash...etc. Nice try though, fam. ☻
@@BigHolla Dude pause when you've got comments OK ......cause I can't hear what they're saying! I figure if I can't hear it neither can you.... so you're messing it too!
Look at the players that are talking about Bird......These were the Best at that Time...Many are HOF today... I have never heard more Respect of any Player including Jordan, Kobi, Lebron.. ect.....From othert players Must be something to this. Btw new NBA players Do you have Blood on your shirts and can you take a punch in the face and not Bitch???
If the team of michael jordan was win with the team of larry bird in their 6 playoffs,even two times,i choose michael jordan A's a number 1 GOAT,but his team did not win with the team of Larry bird even 1 time in their playoffs,so i change my mind, because the team of michael jordan,even theirs have Scottie pippen,john paxson,and bill Cartwright and many other's but the team of Michael Jordan did not win with the team of Larry bird even 1 time in the their playoffs,but his team did not win!! so i change my mind,and i choose Mr Larry Bird A's a Number 1 GOAT of All Time...
You really shouldnt keep talking over the comments, right about the time theyre making a major point in the story you talk over the dam thing and kill the continuity of the story
30 + years later, and stories of the LEGEND are still talked about. They will be talked about for 30 more and then some. You won't hear stories about LABRONDA and Steph down the road.
I LOVE that 'look like 84 huh' story.

The Mashburn story is fantastic.

New meat for the Birdman.
Great reaction..
Yessir keep em coming..
Larry Legend is the G.O.A.T of trash talkers 😅

Larry Had 4-Brothers & 1-Sister.

True..true..
Yep😂😂heard some say Bird gave them nightmares when they had to play Celtic's Birdman😂😂❤❤I love about 50 miles from French Lick.😂 fellow Hick.
Bird had more moves than a cross-eyed rattlesnake.
Three straight MVP Seasons

Bird is at the GOAT table.
Great video. I grew up watching the 80s-90s NBA, not realizing how many future hall of famers were on the court.
I don't remember what NBA player said this he said Michael Jordan made you look slow but Larry Bird made you look stupid😅😅😅😅😅 I just adore everything about Larry Bird on and off the court😊😊😊
Yo..James Worthy said that..
Good one lolo

Larry Bird once accused the opposing team of disrespecting him by putting a white player to guard him.

Thats Larry legend ❤🙌😊
It's a shame we never got a Prime Larry vs Prime Bron...
Yeah...id pay to see leflog curled up in a corner crying 'make the bad man go awayyyyy'
Larry dominated then and he would dominate today. All the athleticism in the world will not help you when you get outsmarted..

Larry's brother Eddie was almost as good as Larry.
