This: “if he’s not averaging 40, it’s BY CHOICE”
💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
I know people think it’s an over exaggeration and fantasizing, but I really believe that
@@BU_TV
In this case, the facts back you up, so it’s all good 👍
The thing about Bird that I noticed when I watched him play live 35-40 years ago: he was really fun to watch OFF THE BALL ON DEFENSE!! Because you’d watch him and think, “Why’d he run over there?” Or, “Why’d he do that?” And then a few seconds later, you’d say, “Ohhhhhh…. THAT’S why!!!” He KNEW what the other team was going to do, or where the pass was going. He knew what was going to happen before it happened. Sometimes even before the other team knew it. Which made him one helluva defender. Larry’s offense and clutch shooting is always raved about. As it should be. But his defense was also among the best of all time.
Bird is a very underrated defender! He was great at reading facial expressions and body language. He could figure out a play fast ...him and DJ were really good at that!
I saw Bird play his entire career from college on. People who say he wasn't athletic don't get it. Before Bird hurt his back he could reverse dunk with the best of them. You can't be as good as Bird was and not be athletic. Bird was an outstanding athlete, not on the level of Jordan or Kobe, say, but still very very good, and remember Jordan never won a championship until Bird retired, because he couldn't get past Bird. Larry is top five all time. You want my top five from 1-5, ok, I give it. 5. Bird. 4. Kobe. 3. Bill Russell. 2. Jordan. 1. Wilt Chamberlain. Bird would dominate today's game the way it's played now. Yeah, if he wanted to average 40 he could, but he was such an unselfish player in giving up the ball that it's more likely 30-35 for sure. And remember, Bird only took one or two threes a game because the game wasn't focused on the three point shot. Today, he would take 5-10 threes a game and shoot around 50%. Kobe Fan is right: Bird could do anything Magic could do, but Magic couldn't do all that Larry could. Magic once said that Larry Bird kept him up at night, and the only player that Magic ever feared was Bird. That's all you need to know.
If Larry was given free reign of the game today, He'd be dumping 3 after three after 3 Much like the 3pt contest. He'd tune in all net mode. I see 40-45 ppg easy.
… Larry had the green
light in his 3rd Season !
I love KC Jones , but Bird
ran the plays he wanted !
He would easily destroy
todays cupcake NBA !
Just imagine what he’d do ,
knowing you can’t touch him !
@@howdoicancel6760 Larry'd get bored without question. I mean there is a limit as to what you can do. Larry's already ate everything up.
@@howdoicancel6760 Yeah, I hear you. In fact, the entire Celtic organization ran that way. That's why they were a big success for so long. There's an office interview out there somewhere I got that info from.
Jesus Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and saviour
@@Comedyvibes Amen🙏 I don't know where this came from but perfect timing.😶🌫
Cool reaction. Liked. My GOAT is two headed. Bird & MJ. I've not seen any players come close to the level they were on in my lifetime. I love the NBA now. I'm not one of those old heads that just lives in the past. I evolved with the game. But those two guys were like aliens compared to every player I've seen in my lifetime. MJ gets the edge with his athletic abilities. But Larry lacking that kinda makes him look even sweeter. Larry Legend and Air Jordan have the best basketball IQ that I have ever witnessed. It's so off the charts different for them because of that. Others may surpass their records & accomplishments...and some have...but that is kind of secondary to what I witnessed. If there ends up being another player like them, I'll say it first....but as of today, I haven't seen anything close.
I agree. I don’t put so much emphasis on statistics. It’s like the economy and inflation. We know what we saw
Amen, brother. It ain’t even close. The Showtime Lakers were also pretty awesome. People today just don’t know what they missed out on.
15 minutes of Larry Legend Highlights.
Thank you family I will add it to the list
BU you don't know the excitement there was back then it was crazy , I wish I could take you back in time to feel the excitement it was the best years of my life Larry lengend and Magic 2 guys that saved the NBA it doesn't get better than that, I feel Larry lengend would drop 40 or more, I loved magic too 🐐🐐
Your comment about cutting his leg off reminded me of the Monty python bit with the black knight.
I don’t know what you’re talking about but I’m definitely going to find out😂 thanks!!
Luka being so good proves Bird would be dominant
Yup!!
As good as Luka has looked, remember that Bird was not just way bigger, but more skilled at every single aspect of the game too.
I got to see Michael Jordan and Larry Bird play in the 90s in Chicago
why? because they are white? it's literally the only reason they are compared.Bird would dominate in any era for the simple fact that he has the highest basketball IQ. no need to find another white guy that plays good to say he would dominate. his basketball mind is plenty reason.
Great reaction! I enjoy listening to your commentary as it has substance and great insight into basketball at the time, even though you’re a younger guy that wasn’t even born in this era. Another great video to react to is “NBA Legends Explain how Larry Bird Made Everyone Look Bad.”
Larry would dominate not only as a player but also as coach.
The guys that plated with Bird on the Celtics. The always had to be ready. I loved watching basketball in those days.
Glad you soaked it in
Bird and all the legends played street ball. They played with so much heart and love for the game.
If Tatum is dropping 30 Larry is dropping 40
Easily😂😂😂
i dont think larry ever averages 40.. not because he couldn't.. because he wouldn't... it wouldn't benefit the team. he may average 30;to 35 but instead of 6 assists per game it would be 10 to 12.. and instead of 10 boards it may be 13.. larry was as good if not better at passing as he was shooting or scoring. a 10 reb and 7 assist career guy for a guy who didnt dominate the ball and in that era would easily translate to a triple double machine in this era... the ONLY REASON bird doesnt average a triple double today would be more about how he changes a team. .. so with him others who wouldn't necessarily be known as passers now play team ball and pass and share... some of larrys teams had 4 guys averaging more than 5 assists... his team ball is infectious so he may end up only averaging 8 or 9 while inspiring 3 other teammates to average 6 or more... the boards? the only thing stopping him from averaging 15 is the fact he would be out on the perimeter more in this era..
Bird would kill in today's NBA.
Oh yah he would
He was just as dangerous on offense shooting or passing. He didnt need the ball. Constant thought and movement 🎉 his philosophy got his team involved enough to keep people guessing 😊
Great breakdown and commentary bro.
36 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists for his career!! 8 MVPs in a row. His rookie season was the first year he ever played with three point line. And in today's NBA if you breathe on someone they call a foul. Larry would have a heyday with that. If I was starting a team he'd be the first pick. You can build around Larry with anybody. Magic wasn't in Larry's league. Magic average a few more assist because he handled the ball all the time. Larry wasn't fast but he was tenacious rebounding the ball and his first step was as quick as anybody. I'll take quickness over speed any day and skill over speed.
nice one.
Well said
It's a shame that the Walton quote is sort of pulled out of context. He's talking about Bird in clutch time.
Magic is among the Goats as well. A giant 6'8 Point Guard. A very genuine man and an electric personality. He loved to play and that's a very cool thing to watch! Good video too. Thanks
Well said! Thank you Gramps! Both players trendsetters!
Thanks, for sharing. Legend always did something special.
Its not Bird pissed that would get 45, it's when Bird is board he will get 45. Remember this is the same guy that played a game left handed to make it a challenge. As the legends said of Bird, "HEE'S A BAD MAN!!!!!!!!!".
Thats true😂😂 Bird creating the challenge
05:33 Spot on, man, I agree with every word and thought you conveyed. I always give Bird a hypothetical 35pt avg in today's league, just to round conservatively as to not freak the nay-sayers and don't-knows out (ha). And I agree with you specifically that the whole team's performance goes up ... like it did in Boston, because that's what he did, that was his mode of ops and effect.
And you are spot on with that points per game average, and being conservative just not to trigger people😂😂😂😂😂
noice i appreciate the equilibrium.
Think how many times he would be at the foul line
11:52 you may have seen it but they were on the Letterman Show and Magic said Bird was better because he could do more. Bird said Magic was better because he had more success.
If Larry had grown up with the 3pt line he would have shot over 50% from beyond the arc.
no question about it
I love your posters 👍👍
Thank you!
Bird was very smart, great passer, team player , rebounder , 6 ft 10 and super clutch...this is worst d Era in nba history because league wants hi scoring games
All around players are few now.
If Larry Legend would have played 20 years like Labon James has, Larry Bird AKA Larry Legend would have set all the records, but he wasn't about the records he was about the game
I don't think anyone can say for sure who #2 is . Or next. but I don't believe there has ever been a more complete and well rounded basketball player than that of Larry Bird. The Greatest? Chamberlain still holds more records than any one player that will ever play. Records that players in today's game will never even approach. His play changed the rules. No other player impacted the game more than him. Rings are great but those are team awards. Michael Jordan talked about his 6 rings. Bill Russell won 8 straight! 11 total!
Its what makes this stuff so hard to analyze, discussions can be nuanced. Not black and white always
Another great video. You are gonna wear yourself out on Larry Bird. I've watched like 15 LB reaction vids you put up. I hope everybody sees them so they can be humbled. Yes, Larry Bird could play in today's NBA, and put all these dudes to shame. LeBron who? That era had 20 LeBrons running around the league. He'd be just another very good player. I dont think Lebron survives that pounding though. Way more physical back then. You get within 15 feet, and they throw you in a washing machine. No way LeBron in the GOAT.
I think you’re pretty spot on with a lot of what you said. Lol yeah I was thinking that yesterday eventually I’m gonna run out a Larry bird stuff. Lmao
I figure he'd shoot 56-58% from the field and maybe 46% from 3, 90% from the line. He'd probably take 20 to 23 shots per game though, so without a ton of free throws or more shot attempts (or higher fg%) he can't do like 40ppg. It's just not feasible without all 3 of those categories (shot attempts, fg%, free throw attempts) also being very, very high, or at least 2. Remember MJ had to shoot 28 times a game to do 37ppg, and Wilt's FGA during his 50ppg season is even more ridiculous. I think Larry's 3pt % would be higher, and he'd get a few more FT attempts. His mid range and post play fg% might only be a little better than in the 80s. I don't see him shooting over 60% from the field, so I'd say he'd average around 32.to 33ppg
@BUTV in today’s era Bird would easily average 40+ and I personally believe he would probably average 50+. He would be taking as many 3’s as everyone else does in today’s era instead of just 3 or 4 a game he was taking in his era. Can’t hand check anymore so no one would be able to contain him defensively in today’s era and I believe from the free throw line alone he’d average probably 15-20 a game, so yeah I believe he’d average 50+ in this era. Not only that, but I also believe he would easily and by far have the biggest contract in NBA history.
I am pretty sure Bird averging way over 30. The only reason he wouldn't. He is a team player and effects the game in so may ways. Bird was never about stats. Just playing hard.
Yuuuuup
If he just wants to score..wow but he had the whole package teams beat me or the best athlete on the floor. Dude got more boards than the best big man.
@5:50 this
All day!
Was thinking triple double every night.. 36+
"I'm gonna cut my leg with a chainsaw" LMAO! That was bird. He got angry when you put a white guy or a rookie on him since he knew they weren't the best in the league for sure and he needed the challenge. There will NEVER EVER EVER be another Larry Bird. Oh and regarding how much he will score in today's NBA? The answer is: AS MUCH AS HE WANTED TO! He himself said while playing that he could score 40 EVERY game if he wanted to but he was more interested in winning and making his teammates active than stats. And that was in the 80's let's remember that and not in today's soft defense rules! LEGEND! He and Magic are my favorite players! Love your videos and respect for the old players
Isaiah is still living thru 'the steal' to his end 😂
35 pts 15 asst 15 rbs a game in todays NBA. IMO Bird was easily a better passer than Magic, or anyone else as far as that goes. BTW , I hated Bird and the Celtics, as a Sixers fan. That damn Bird...AAAARGH
Larry would have triple doubles in 55 out of 82 games
Very possible
I think it's a damn shame that these guys can't even trash talk each other anymore!!! What are they worried about... Someone getting their feelings hurt?! 🤷. 🙉🙈🙊
Facts
I think Bird would average 27, 10 and 8. Which is basically averaging MVP seasons. He would shoot more corner 3s and a few less of those spinning midrange jumpers.
Thanks for having a realistic take. I think he is the main ball handler pointforward style though. He can probably average a triple double easily today.
I think... He didn't wanna sound too cocky saying... he knows Bird would average at least 30!!! 😂😂😂
My dad was a huge Lakers fan since the 1970's and when I was growing up, if we talked about basketball, he would often bring up how he hated Larry Bird because he would derail potential Lakers championships and because he was just too good. So I got to know and perceive Bird was a well-known killer on the court than my peers who idolized MJ and waved off Bird. It's true that he's rarely, if ever, mentioned in the GOAT conversation, and I would imagine that's because he doesn't look like a basketball player, he looks like a Radioshack manager, and there's this misperception he was just an elite shooter with no flashiness to him or other elite skills in his bag. Plus I think when people think of that era of the NBA, they mention Magic (my favorite player) because he's a lot more camera-friendly and his passes are uniquely insane. Hopefully, more and more people learn about Larry Legend and how he earned that nickname being one of the smartest players who ever played the game and could do almost everything super well. It's so fun to watch Bird play because he looks awkwardly clumsy and ultra-refined at the same time, yet he's piling those stats like nothing.
I know intangibles is an overused word, but consider the fact that Larry Berg, with the only roster change from a 27 win season. His rookie year they went from the cellar to the Eastern conference finals. The next year they won at all Larry Bird simply makes everybody on the team better. unlike many superstars he got more dangerous when he did not have the ball. He was setting pics, drawing the double team, or positioning his"can’t jump body"for yet another rebound. Yes, certainly and without a doubt the best small forward ever to play the game.
Larry would completely lose his mind over his teammate, standing around and not working the offense. During a playoff series he referred to his teammates as sissies They heard him and came out like wild animals the next game.
Great comment but it could stand a couple small edits.
1) Larry could & did everything with precision 99.7394% of the time
2) Larry's persona is recognized as the hick from french lick. If you accept that, you'll surely be beat.
3) Larry don't give a rats a$$ what anyone says about him because no matter what you or anyone says, "He'll get the last laugh" and ruin you with his sharp tongue 🤭 It's part of Larry & the game he played.
I love every sentence and every word you spoke. Also, your comment about a RadioShack manager has me in tears.😂😂😂😂😂😂
I could see a 32/10/8 average, Jmo
And i love it
The big problem for Bird today is today they are way too soft, he would foul out just from the trash talking, not to mention the way he real physicalness of the old game.
When Larrys retirement was done there was no game at the Boston Garden yet it was sold out, let that sink in "no game yet sold out" for one mans retirement.
For those that think Larry Bird was not as good as he really was. This comment is for those whom never had the chance to see him play.
Little know thing about Larry to those that never saw him play , he could effect the outcome of a game and never take a shot thats how devastating his passing skills were. Here is one thing that most fans (people) either don't know or try to ignore, prior to Larry joining the NBA there was no such thing as a three point line, that came in when Bird was starting his first year off in his NBA career. Just think about what would todays game be without the three point line or if the line was one foot farther out like it was when it was first introduced. Food for thought.
At that time it was not about the individuals stats it was about the win. But if you need some stats here you go:
Here are some of Larry Bird's notable career achievements and statistics:
Three-time NBA champion (1981, 1984, 1986); Two-time NBA Finals MVP (1984, 1986); Three-time NBA MVP (1984-86); 12-time NBA All-Star (1980-88, 1990-92); Nine-time All-NBA First Team (1980-88);
All-NBA Second Team (1990); Three-time All-NBA Defensive Second Team (1982-84); NBA Rookie of the Year (1980); NBA All-Rookie Team (1980); Three-time NBA Three-Point Contest champion (1986-88);
Career-high in points: 60 (March 12, 1985) -- tied for franchise record with Jayson Tatum; Named NBA Coach of the Year (1998); and Named NBA Executive of the Year (2012).
Larry Bird, was the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 achievement, and one of two players to achieve the feat in multiple seasons.
Career averages:
24.3 points per game
10.0 rebounds per game
6.3 assists per game
88.6% free throw percentage
49.6% field goal percentage
37.6% 3-point percentage
Now we can't forget that Bird famously played with two injured ankles and a notoriously cranky back that forced him to lay down on the floor during practice breaks. After season-ending foot surgery just six games into the 1988-89 season
All facts here, Larry could thrive in any league because he was able to do anything, especially for his size
Larry bird came out of college known as A DEFT PASSER with a deadly shot.
He would average a triple double with no doubt. Did you notice what Zeke did as they were leaving the court?
Yes i did!
The question should be "How many points would Larry give his teammates?"
He would crush today's players.
He would be what we saw on steroids as far as production
Young fans ....ask MJ.
Mike kept it real
i love magic... it took me time but i learned to love magic because he was great.. and unselfish in the sense that he had the skill to score more... but it wasnt important to him.. saying that there is no evidence that tells me magic is actually a better passer.. he is a pg and has control of the ball and I've always out of respect just given him the edge in that because if i didnt it would be too lopsided because larry was basically better at every other skill... but when you critically look at the evidence you cant tell me that magic is a better passer. if anything there may be evidence larry was better... just look at their best assists videos on TH-cam... magics passes are mostly his no looks and fast break... larrys has a more wide range.. larry full court pass.. insane.. larrys tip passes.. insane.. never seen anything like it consistently until joker now... then his passes while on the floor? show me anyone else doing that ... he was every bit magics equal if not better
luka and joker are worse examples of what larry would do today.... one overlooked aspect of larrys game was his ball handling... he was a great ballhandler at 6 10... definitely better than joker and imo even luka if he had the benefit of how today is called.. so if he were allowed to palm and carry like today then for certain you would see him take the ball up the court more often like joker... and with todays open lanes he let alone magic would kill the league with their passing
The reason Bird was so hard to guard because he was slow etc. Bird could beat you in so many ways. He could not take shot and beat you. Players would have to try to think like him. That is why Bird was so great. I got the pleasure watching the legends during that time. The NBA to soft now to play with the legends. They have great talent as well now. But to soft.
You should check out wilt chamberlain..
bird was never a team mate of Westphals
Those were real men, no need for tattoos to say look at me with the ....
Bird did not like Kent benson because of how kb treated him at Indiana so bird, mchale would trash benson in nba. Kb was top pick in 77 draft
I saw the Reggie Miller drop a couple 3s on the Celtics...talking trash, Im sure.
Larry dropped 7 3s....to completely obliterate the Pacers and Reggie. I cant be sure, but I think I heard he'd only missed one.....
So Larry was 7/8 in 3pt land...because a rookie opened his mouth. 😄
Bro, when you said subject matter, I thought you were going to say subject matter jurisdiction and this was going to be another Darryl Brooks video. SMH
Bird would average 3 more points a game just on the rip move aline in today's rules
Plowing through huh???
Be honest
The two greatest forwards in the history of the game Are Bernard King and Connie Hawkins. Period
And then you woke up.
You are savage😂😭😭😭
@@BU_TV
☺️
Troll much ….
Jesus Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and saviour
Jesus never existed fool.
Amen to that! Did my mom send you here?!?
Cause the ãss kissers today's and some in the past are to scared to admit that this Larry Legend Bird is be better than all the brothers cause Larry could do it all and most brothers can only do 2 things in a game while Larry with 0 holes in his game could do it all on the floor and then some
There are so many ass kissers today amongst media haha
Racists ?
Yup thats me! You caught me red handed bud! As racist as they come!
