Larry Bird. Probably the most intelligent player ever. RIP Dennis Johnson. Great guy and Larry Bird's favorite teammate. He always gave 100 percent. Red, he is just a legend and was part of the beginning of the NBA. What you have here is a gem.
Why was larry bird the most intelligent player ever? cause he's white? Dude, STFU. There is no such thing as most intelligent player ever, we don't know their IQ levels, and it's all opinions. So your ignorant comment was an opinion.
Right On. Larry definitely had one of the most highest IQ on court ever. The dude would run circles around his opponent. If Larry was playing today in this weakass era it would be over.
Michael Jordan hands down highest iq in basketball not even a debate Larry is not better than LeBron let's be real. Larry is great but it's easier too stop him from impacting a game than LeBron in my opinion..
One of the premier Shooters in the History of the game. Then says DJ ONE OF THE premier guards for Celtics.SMH DJ IS ONE OF THE GREATEST IN NBA HISTORY TO EVERY PLAY. I Loved these guys bro.
For being portrayed as a hot head, Red sure seems like a warm, welcoming, intelligent coach. I know playoffs gets you heated, but he’s just giving away amazing fundamental skills and tips for free. Seems more like a student of the game and teacher then that HBO show showed as a heartless competitor.
I remember my coach showing up this video in 5th grade! Eventho Larry Bird was out of the league at that time for a long time , I thought he was the greatest shooter ever.
Red Auerbach one of the greatest minds and coaches in Basketball history.. Drafted Larry Bird in his junior year of college… Larry Bird and DJ two of the greatest players to play the game.. That’s a winning combo.. I miss those days!!
Couldn't agree more. If God blesses me with a son (or daughter) and they take an interest in the greatest sport on the planet, they'll definitely be watching some Larry Bird highlights (THIS is how you play basketball! A team sport I thought? haha Thanks for tuning in! Go CATS & Go Celts!
Larry was more like 6’10’’ really… but yeah, Sampson was tall af and an athletic freak!… And there’s footage of Bird easily hitting fadeaways directly in front Ralph.. IN GAME… just crazy! th-cam.com/video/LtpjCnOoO1Y/w-d-xo.html
@@freakthegod2362 He's overrated because all he does is heav the same old shot from 3, there's much more to shooting than just circus 3's. Curry is average at mid range, guys like KD and Kyrie are much better shooters imo.
@@freakthegod2362 I personally don't think so, there's more to shooting than just chucking 3 pointers from the logo. Kobe, Bird, KD, Kyrie etc.. are all better shooters.
Dumisa Tony Johnson yeah no he’s not! Bird owned him in every statistical category. The facts are all there! 0-6 versus Larry Legend! Bird is also the ONLY player to win three straight MVP’s consecutively and won as a coach and GM. You’re in denial!
I wonder where they are. Looks like a high school gym. Can you imagine being in high school in the 80s and these guys show up after school to practice?
Which is crazy because Larry wasnt the most athletic player in the league, even he knew that, and is yet still one of the greatest players because of his court smarts and motivation to finish what he does. Basketball players seem almost disposable nowadays because they all try to play the same.
Dominique Wilkins says something to that effect in an interview. Asking young guys if they would rather be athletic or have great fundamentals/IQ, or words to that effect. He said they usually say athlete and he tells them that that is their first mistake. Athleticism will get you some oohs and aahs. The other will get you consistent Wins.
I hear it’s statistic before if you took all the money and resources and time and materials put into building the basketball stadiums and everybody buying the ticket and driving there you could’ve literally built a home for every citizen in America it would really be nice if we all put our time and energy into actually fruitful things

Generally people who say shit are LeSUCK fans and jealous that Bird was way better. Truth Hurts!!

Jose Carranza He never even mentioned a thing about race, you fucking moron, it was you that did.
Race-baiting Prick.
Red pioneered modern basketball starting in the 50s. He was decades ahead of other coaches and GMs.
Unfortunately iso ball has ruined the NBA. If you had a team playing Auerbach fundamental ball, they would be unstoppable.
@@j-r-m7775 calm down Jimmy. Maybe try going outside
Parish’s look at the camera was great
No wonder the Houston Rockets lost the 1986 NBA finals. Ralph Sampson was training with the Celtics.
Jajajaja jajajaja
Yeah it wouldn’t have anything to do with our surgical precision of the 86 Celtics would it? Best team ever!
Heck some of these guys in the NBA now should watch this video
There’s so much dang star power on that court there lol
Straight up legends on that court
RIP Red Auerbach
go dawgs

6+ minutes of Red saying, “Did you hear what Larry said?”
Bird and D. J. What a pair. May D. J . Rest In Peace.
Premium talent right there....Larry is still my favorite shooter. I always loved his form. With intangibles that players today would kill for.
Giannis must’ve watched this recently “you got all the time in the world at the free throw line” lol
Scary, he hit everything
Probably was edited....but Larry Legend was nearly perfect, and very clutch.
Red Auerbach was awesome man. Cool to see Larry laughing. He’s so tiny and old but so cool.
100% PRICELESS
Larry just can’t miss
Larry can't miss
Hahahaha, Red rocking the classic Boston Warm Up! Larry Legend won the 3 point contest wearing the same Warm Up

There's several out there. One with Chief & maybe Walton.

The best ever ever ever to play the game, my hero Larry legend!!
U trippin
@@SaiKhot no I’m not you’re just simply ignorant to the facts! Go do some real research! Don’t allow your feelings to get in the way!
@@Jondsmusic Yeah people forget that Larry was being called the GOAT at one point in the 80s and he was better than Magic before he got hurt
@@JoeyBlazee true statement!
@@JoeyBlazee AP Athlete of the Year, I think. All sports.
So retro. Love it
Notice the Holy Cross in the background
The gym it a college
LARRY LEGEND WITH OLD RED! A GREAT VIDEO FOR ANY KID THAT WANTS TO LEARN THE RIGHT WAY,TO PLAY! OLD SCHOOL!
That blonde dude is great, wonder if he will ever be great in the NBA.
these guys knew how to win as a team.and how to play
Finna show my kids this when they ready to start playing
Larry LEGEND!! 🏀🏀🔥🔥🔥🐐
Larry Legend and Dennis "You Don't Wanna Fuck Wit Me" Johnson!! RIP.

It's never too late to edit out the part about getting your daughter to play basketball bro.
Thank you!
Everyone was drunk off their ass back then I love it. Red can barely talk
Filmed with a underwater periscope!
hahaha
Epic video.
Is amazing , the shooting technique is incredibly smooth.
6’8 Larry Bird, shooting over 7’2 Ralph Sampson with ease , dude was too cold 🥶
Larry was more like 6’10’’ really… but yeah, Sampson was tall af and an athletic freak!… And there’s footage of Bird easily hitting fadeaways directly in front Ralph.. IN GAME… just crazy!

Larry is 6”9
RIP, D.J.
We will get through this 🌏🌍🌎❤️
1:29 that dude is all business
That’s Robert Parish aka the CHIEF
Larry makes it look so easy
Greatest shooter "maybe" of all-time.Bird
He is.
Curry is an overrated shooter.
@@ronaldm.6150 How is he overrated?

@@greysonG10 HES the most talented shooter of all time what are you saying

Thats my hometown. Holy cross we use to sneak in as high schoolers. Play ball until campus police kicked us out. Good ol days. Worcester Mass.
Well now you can't stand at the free throw line forever lol. Dwight Howard got called for ten seconds which is stupid to me
larry>lebron
Stephen curry and the big 5
Nah g
Larry > LeQuit
Larry>everyone
Lebron wilts at ends of games. Bird and Jordan rose to the occasion.
Larry bird would have hurt lebrun in his prime. Feelings and literally hurt him. Guy was a killer. Labrum is just a paid actor.
I was waiting for Sampson to throw a punch
Rip my boy Red
Increíble
Only thing he forgot to mention is to keep the elbow tucked in align with the basket
HD ???
Combine the material for the shorts in this video and you might be able to make a modern day pair of NBA shorts.
there are so many "the most important things of all" tho LOL
I learned my hook shot from a book by Red
Dang, I learned mine from watching Jabbar. Did quite well for a late bloomer too.
larry Bird is a Good shooter and im learning of him!
He’s the best to ever play!
Same
Jon Dowling
Jordan’s the best to ever play the game
Dumisa Tony Johnson yeah no he’s not! Bird owned him in every statistical category. The facts are all there! 0-6 versus Larry Legend! Bird is also the ONLY player to win three straight MVP’s consecutively and won as a coach and GM. You’re in denial!
@@Jondsmusic can’t argue with that. Larry Legend
larry birtd:169.5, magic johnson: 171, lebron james:171, dwight howard:169.5
hakeem olajuwonL172 patrick ewing:186
And bird played less games than all of them
HD...Haze definition
I used his lessons and I make almost every shot I take
Aeubach was the original Pat Riley.
Those shorts though...
Love 'em
I wonder where they are. Looks like a high school gym. Can you imagine being in high school in the 80s and these guys show up after school to practice?
It looks like College of the Holy Cross
Hellenic, I believe it's called.
Ahhh, what does Auerbach know!
I love this comment more than my mom
red talks about the catch but not the dip.
anyone send this to Lebum James? 😅
Wonder if they teach any of this in college anymore. Its all about athleticism today which is a shame

congrats to the 2024 boston celtics
I hate when they make these tutorials they act like they are talking to toddlers - IM A GROWN MAN AND IM TRYING TO LEARN HOW BIRD SHOT SO WELL!!!!!!!!
Cash
4 best players in nba lady Bird Michael Jordan LeBron James and Magic Johnson
Agreed
Allen inversion is way BETTER than then lebron
I agreed (without LeBron)
Lebron can't even shoot.
Agreed
Sampson and Parish together only proves Sampson was never 7'4" lol.. barely 7'2" and more like 7'1"
John19182004 Yeah well lol. Super tall or slightly less super tall?
yeah, tall.. but a major difference between someone who's 7' and 7'4. just like someone 6' or 6'4" or 5' or 5'4". and false advertising. why?
Does he not look 3.5 inches taller than Parish?
The thin creator additionaly glow because industry contradictorily complain by a invincible market. stiff, impossible society
