Who's the Goat 🐐 of Basketball 🏀??? Here are 8 great videos that make suggestions to who is the greatest. Of course everyone is going to have their opinion/favorite. So that you don't have to track them down. All 8 of these videos are great and about 4 years old. *Lebron* has the most views and *Larry* is 2nd out of the list👇. I personally enjoyed Larry's the most. Not only is he in the conversation of who's the goat 🐐. He won Gold 🥇 *(with his NBA Rivals like Magic and MJ)* at the Olympics, became a Head Coach (Indiana Pacers), then went upstairs to the Head Office.... running everything!! Larry's *GENUINE friendship* with Magic Johnson was awesome to see 👀, on and off the court.

Some context about the left handed game. Larry took all of his shots in the paint left handed through the first three quarters. The game got close in the 4th so Larry had to stop messing around and play with his right hand but 10 of his 21 shots made in the game were left handed. Bird finished the game with a triple-double, 47 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists.
@@Torie988Due to Concussion Protocols today... that wouldn't happen. When Larry found out that his team was struggling without him; he *SNUCK OUT* of the Locker Room when the Dr. wasn't looking!! 🤫😏 Most people miss this also. You have to look quickly. But when Larry came back into the game with a fractured cheek, you should see 👀 the *HUGE BRUISE* that is on his shoulder from falling onto the Court.
Bird averaged 24.3 points, 10 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game for his career. He had a four year stretch where he averaged 50-40-90. He could do everything on the basketball court at the highest level. Won 3 league MVPs in a row. I have him as the 3rd all-time greatest player behind MJ and Kareem, with Magic 4th.
To answer your question.. Larry for his career was 24, 10, 6, and had 4 seasons 50/40/90.. and played 7 seasons with a broken back.. the toughest player in NBA history!
Is this your first introduction to Larry Bird? Let's go🎉🎉 This is a DEEP Dive for sure More to watch Greatest passer ( re-edit) 5 Times Larry played with injury but refused to quit 4 Crazy Stories that prove Larry Bird was the toughest to ever play in the NBA Greatest Trash Talker A Courtship of Rivals And soooo much more.. Definitely subbing...
You get it. This is why so many of us sing the praises of these old school players. They cared. They put forth maximum effort in every single game. Because they loved the game and wanted to have the fans love the game. They made good money doing so. Not nearly as much as they are making per year as they do now. They never took it for granted that they were owed 40+ Million per year to only play 50-60 games out of 82. Most players played 65-82 games unless they were injured badly. Availability was appreciated. Passion was appreciated. Larry Bird is the prime example of someone who did it because he loved it. You look at Larry, Magic, Kareem, Jordan, Dominique, Dr.J, Isiah, Admiral, Ewing, Barkley, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, AI, Olajawon, Mutombo, Kemp, Payton, Worthy, Moses, Dumars, Richmond, Miller and so many of the 80-90's and 00's players.... something they all have in common is a love for the game. The last decade seems to have been all about give me money, and I might play. Things have gotten out of control. I am all for labor and steong unions, but it feels like the inmates are running the asylum. Because it is hard for me to believe that some of these players actually do love the game.
He was so good in all aspects of the game players couldn't commit to anything he did one reason he dropped so many! His re-edited passing video will cement and doubts of his ability ever!
Showtime Magic... loved the limelight.. Bird.. not so much.. just went out and played.. But I love that they truly became great friends. When Magic was diagnosed with HIV.. he called Larry.. and Larry said he couldn't hardly play the next day.. he was so upset because in that day and time.. it was a death sentence.. Larry didn't want that to happen to Magic. I have to say.. we are all happy that Magic is still with us.
add 5 times larry bird was injured but refused to quit , 4 crazy stories to prove larry bird was toughest in the nba. those 2 shorter videos are a must see to really understand how insane he was.
Getting old is not much fun. But, I got to watch him through his whole career, including twice live. In 46 years of watching the NBA, he's the best all around player I've seen. e e
I'm the same age as Larry Bird I watched every one of his games. He's my GOAT. Larry had his right cheek bone right under his eye was broken & he had a concussion also. If you look at the clip from his injury, every time Larry got the ball once he returned to the game the Pacers kept aiming for his face, to wack his face to take him outta the game. Larry Bird was the BEST. watch his "making the case for Larry Bird" video ALSO Watch "making the case for the 86 Celtics" 2 great videos. Take care Young Man.
Larry came back to that game with a fracture of his right cheek bone.. You can see how hard his face hit the hardwood... came back and played.. and every teammate of his said.. he never took anything more than a Tylenol. That's hardcore.
LeBron tapped out of a finals game against the Spurs when he started "cramping" after the A/C went out in the stadium. There's no way he'd keep playing if he had blood on his jersey, let alone if he broke his face diving for a ball like Larry. Or if he had the flu like MJ did.
One playoff game for Larry and the Celtics, the A/C broke...over 100° in the gym. Larry played even better .. beat the Lakers. He never had time for excuses. He just went to work.
You need to watch the video titled "greatest passer ever with re-edit" to see how great of a passer Bird was when he played. Bird vs all other forwards of his era ( PF and SF) led all Forwards in assists per game was #1 for 8 seasons and was #2 in assists per game for 3 seasons and was also 4th. Bird only played 12 seasons! Bird actually dominated his position for passing more than Magic!! How? Magic led the league in assists per game for 4 seasons and was 2nd in assists for 6 seasons and was also 4th and 7th. Bird also was a tenacious rebounder and was the founding member of the 50-40-90 shooting club = did it 2 years back to back (87 and 88) and was so close in 85 and 86 that if you total Bird's stats for those 4 seasons = Bird averaged 50-40-90 over 4 consecutive years!! No other "goat" candidate can say that. I have Bird as the best "all around" player I have ever seen. Remember Bird as a rookie went to a 29 win team and was the main reason Boston won 61 games = a 32 game turnaround = the biggest single season improvement in NBA history. Bird won ROY over Magic by a huge margin and was 4th in the MVP. In the next 8 seasons in the MVP Bird was 2,2,2,1,1,1,3, and 2nd again = that is domination!!!!
Thank you young fella for checking out Larry Bird. I grew up with Bird and Magic. Different game. Good to see the new generation checking out the older players. Def not the same game🏀
The Left-Handed Game; Bird got like 22 OR 24 Left-Handed. But for the Entire Game He got 47-Points. They always leave out the Whole part Bill really said. The part They leave out is, Yes Larry Said He was going to Play this Last Road trip Game, "Left-Handed, And through at least 3/4 Quarters, EXCEPT for Long Jumper's". He also got a Triple Double that Night. WOW, You have so much to Learn about The Man, Larry Legend of What He really did in BB. He was the Very First to have a 40/50/90, Yep the Club was Stared because of Him & He did that a Few times. Also Who do You think was the Last to Ever get 3-MVP'S Three Years in a Row? Answer is, Larry Bird. What is taking These "So Called Great Athletes" from The 90's, 2000's And All The Way Up To 2025 from being able to get 3-MVP'S Three Years In A Row? I mean it's going on 39-Years now. Really Larry did a lot of Things First. But from Bird's own mouth He said, "Records Are Made To Be Broken". The reason You don't know a lot about Bird, Is for one, He hated to be Interviewed. You can find some of His interviews on here. But You can tell He is Not Comfortable doing Them. For one thing Larry Doesn't Like Pounding His Own Chest & It will be Really Hard to Ever Hear Him put down Todays Players/The BB Game. Really NOT So Much for These Soft Playing Rules & The Soft Players that We have Today. He Won't because like You even noticed, Larry Loves BB. And also You don't hear a lot about Bird is Because He Is White, And He was OUT SMARTING Everyone, Yep Even Jordan. Larry Really did like Playing against "The Great Athletic Players" back then. Because He Loved To Embarrass Them, It Was Motivation For Him. Larry Had & Still To This Day The Highest BB IQ.It's Just A Fact. And You Will See That High IQ On Display The More You Watch Him. Did A Good Job Here & I Hope You Keep Doing More Of Larry To Understand, Why He Was & Still To This Day The Best All Around Player To Ever Do It. Thank You for This One.
When Magic was diagnosed with HIV we still didn't know 100% how it was transmitted, what it was, and most of his own team stayed far away, much less anyone else. Bird was the one to call him up and ask how he was doing... true love between two warriors there.
Be sure to watch Larry Bird-Making the Case, where you'll see his stats and how he saved the sport of basketball, and also watch Larry Bird-Greatest Passer of All Time where you'll be amazed. Those are two excellent videos!
As a Laker fan in the 80s, I hated Bird, but I respected him. The Lakers played the Celtics for the championship 3 times in that decade. Lakers won 2 the Celtics 1. I believe Bird also won 3 straight MVPs. He was the real deal.
The left handed game was against the Portland Trail Blazers featuring Clyde the Glide Drexler. This was in 86 when the Celts only lost one game at home. That is right they were 40-1. That one loss came against Portland. So Bird was letting them know they just got lucky and he wasn't worried about coming in to their house and beating them at all.
I watched that play live on television where Bird's shot got blocked but then he came back to steal on the inbound pass. The tension in that game from the first minute was insane.
Bird IS the G.O.A.T. !!!!!! Larry was playing with a fractured right cheek and had a concussion! You really need to watch the newer edition of this! They all admit Larry was the greatest!
Great reaction to my favorite player If you do decide to continue with Bird ( of course you will 😅) I recommend Bird's greatest passing highlights ( unbelievable) Making The Case For Larry Bird being the Greatest player His trash talking videos are great And if you continue The Magic/ Bird Documentary is one of the best I've seen I subscribed and look forward to future videos
Jokic is Larry Bird as a 280 lb center. But Larry before injuries is able to hold his own defensively against 2-4 and sometimes even the 5. And has one of the deepest bags in history, he can go for 40 anytime he wants to no matter who's guarding him, and he is gonna tell you what he is gonna do before he does it. His passing ability to me is unmatched at the small forward position, his shooting ability gives him more variety of passes he can make compared to a guy like Lebron. Players have to get up close to Bird and throw off his rhythm and he just throws is behind his head for the pass regularly. Thats some God given shit, not just the strength control and coordination to make the pass but the 6'10 height to get it over the defender in the post. He also had a great ability to change his shot into a pass at the last second, he is undoubtedly top 10 and even tho there are some haters that dont think he could play in today's game, there are a lot of people that say he is top 3 ever and would dominate the modern NBA.
Magic & Larry have the highest win percentage for a career still. I’m a Showtime fan and Magic is my favorite player however Bird was the best player in the 80’s. Magic had Kareem another Goat contender. Machale was slightly better than Worthy but after that the Lakers had talent advantage. The 88 Finals the Celtics big 3 all had injuries from the Bad Boys series. Bird founded the 50/40/90 club and repeat member. I have MJ & Larry as 1a & 1b then there is everybody else.
There would be no NBA if not for Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.. no MJ, no Coby, no Lebron.. nothing.. watch a courtship of rivals and you will understand.. Larry was the goat.. he saved the NBA
Everyone is going to tell you watch the documentary, Courtship of Rivals. For good reason Is the best documentary ever, it chronicles Bird and Magics whole rivalry... Most reactors break it down to four parts
Watch -> Larry Bird Greatest Passer of All Time (Re-edit w/ New Footage) Bird has more full court dimes than most people have regular assists...Your jaw will be on the ground and youll see why he's Larry Legend...passed like Magic, jumpshot like MJ, 3ptr like Curry, rebound like Ewing (avg 10rpg career)...Bird won the first 3 thre-point contests and averaged a 50/40/90 for a 4 year stretch!
Bird was one of a kind, could do anything & everything on court. Career 24/10/6, nobody else has those numbers. But he was even better than the numbers... Watch these 3 videos and you'll wanna get a green #33 tattooed on your arm: Making The Case Ultimate Passing re-edit Courtship Of Rivals
Magic and the Lakers had a 2-1 record over Bird and the Celtics in the finals and Magic also beat Larry in the NCAA championship. So their head to head championship record is 3-1 Magic. They were both asked who was the better player on the David Letterman show. Bird said he always judged it by success so his answer was Magic. Magic said that Larry could do more than he could so his answer was Larry. You can find that video on TH-cam which I highly recommend you react to, it's a great interview.
lakers and celtics was pretty even but the celtics didn't get a fair shake at it because larry was (essentially) terminally injured before he could make many season numbers.
Yeah, he was an elite passer, but your first comment is everything - as far as "Heart" and desire to win ? He is the only guy that imo compared to Kobe. And this is hard to say because I'm a Laker fan :)
Larry talked trash.. but backed it up.. Is that trash talking?? or just confidence? Not even arrogance.. he knew what he could do.. and would tell his opponents.. this is what I'm gonna do.. and they still couldn't stop him..
If you really want to know how good Larry is then you will check this out. "10 Straight Mins Of Larry Bird Facts That Will Change Your Mind On Who's The GOAT 🐐🍀" by SQUADawkins
" I'd be mad for real, Id have to fight him"..... because he is better than you, you feel the need to fight him? That says more about you, and why you are not as good as him.
He averaged double digit rebounds along with the 20 points a game. There was a lot of trash talking and physical play. You have to embrace the physicality or you could not be on the floor. Bird was the better all around player, but Magic got more rings 5-3.
Just looked at your channel, If you want the complete list of Bird's accolades, check out the video, Making the case: Larry bird Greatest of All Time. But here is a short list, 3 back to back to back championships founding member of the 50/40/90 club and Jordan never beat him in the playoffs
He is a trash talker, kinda.. U have no idea how much Bird talked ish bro... look into it.. he is the GOAT trash talker.. Bird in his prime was a around 27 ppg, 10 rebs per (when Big star centers ruled the nba). All at a 50/40/90 clip. Founding member of 50/40/90 also.. think he was around 24 ppg for his career

The night of Larry’s retirement, the Garden was sold out. There was NO game that night. That’s how much Larry Legend was loved.
Larry Bird is absolutely
the Greatest all around
player , ever .
Some context about the left handed game. Larry took all of his shots in the paint left handed through the first three quarters. The game got close in the 4th so Larry had to stop messing around and play with his right hand but 10 of his 21 shots made in the game were left handed. Bird finished the game with a triple-double, 47 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists.
YOU JUST WITNESSED A LEGEND MY FRIEND
"cheek" When Bird fell, his head slammed into the floor. He came back in the game with a concussion and a fractured cheek bone.
Ohh thanks for clarifying that .
LeBron would've been airlifted to the nearest trauma center and administered last rites.
@@Torie988watch the documentary "courtship of rivals". Documentary on Bird and Magics Rivalry.. ine of the greatest documentaries ever made

@@Torie988 I also heard he was seeing double but still he hit his shots
Just wait until you watch his Ultimate passing re edit video, then you will understand The Legend of Bird.
Bird averaged 24.3 points, 10 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game for his career. He had a four year stretch where he averaged 50-40-90. He could do everything on the basketball court at the highest level. Won 3 league MVPs in a row. I have him as the 3rd all-time greatest player behind MJ and Kareem, with Magic 4th.
Fair and reasonable top 4 👍
50-40-90 was his shooting percentage. Founding member.
Larry Bird was Him 😊
Greatest all around player to ever play the game
Larry was an elite passer.
Check out his greatest passes

If you like passing, his passing video is phenomenal
A must watch
You got that straight.
You get it. This is why so many of us sing the praises of these old school players.
They cared. They put forth maximum effort in every single game. Because they loved the game and wanted to have the fans love the game.
They made good money doing so. Not nearly as much as they are making per year as they do now. They never took it for granted that they were owed 40+ Million per year to only play 50-60 games out of 82. Most players played 65-82 games unless they were injured badly.
Availability was appreciated. Passion was appreciated.
Larry Bird is the prime example of someone who did it because he loved it.
You look at Larry, Magic, Kareem, Jordan, Dominique, Dr.J, Isiah, Admiral, Ewing, Barkley, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, AI, Olajawon, Mutombo, Kemp, Payton, Worthy, Moses, Dumars, Richmond, Miller and so many of the 80-90's and 00's players.... something they all have in common is a love for the game.

He started cramping up because of the EPO /PED’s he was using. LeDiddy is a fraud!
One playoff game for Larry and the Celtics, the A/C broke...over 100° in the gym. Larry played even better .. beat the Lakers.
He never had time for excuses. He just went to work.
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
He dove for the ball to save the ball from crossing the endline so the Celtics could score. It ended up being a turnover.
You need to watch the video titled "greatest passer ever with re-edit" to see how great of a passer Bird was when he played. Bird vs all other forwards of his era ( PF and SF) led all Forwards in assists per game was #1 for 8 seasons and was #2 in assists per game for 3 seasons and was also 4th. Bird only played 12 seasons! Bird actually dominated his position for passing more than Magic!! How? Magic led the league in assists per game for 4 seasons and was 2nd in assists for 6 seasons and was also 4th and 7th. Bird also was a tenacious rebounder and was the founding member of the 50-40-90 shooting club = did it 2 years back to back (87 and 88) and was so close in 85 and 86 that if you total Bird's stats for those 4 seasons = Bird averaged 50-40-90 over 4 consecutive years!! No other "goat" candidate can say that. I have Bird as the best "all around" player I have ever seen. Remember Bird as a rookie went to a 29 win team and was the main reason Boston won 61 games = a 32 game turnaround = the biggest single season improvement in NBA history.

Larry fractured his cheek and had a concussion
Larry had a short career due to a back injury. He played until he could no longer physically play the game anymore.
Thank you young fella for checking out Larry Bird. I grew up with Bird and Magic. Different game. Good to see the new generation checking out the older players. Def not the same game🏀

Answer is, Larry Bird. What is taking These "So Called Great Athletes" from The 90's, 2000's And All The Way Up To 2025 from being able to get 3-MVP'S Three Years In A Row? I mean it's going on 39-Years now. Really Larry did a lot of Things First. But from Bird's own mouth He said, "Records Are Made To Be Broken". The reason You don't know a lot about Bird, Is for one, He hated to be Interviewed. You can find some of His interviews on here. But You can tell He is Not Comfortable doing Them. For one thing Larry Doesn't Like Pounding His Own Chest & It will be Really Hard to Ever Hear Him put down Todays Players/The BB Game. Really NOT So Much for These Soft Playing Rules & The Soft Players that We have Today. He Won't because like You even noticed, Larry Loves BB.
And also You don't hear a lot about Bird is Because He Is White, And He was OUT SMARTING Everyone, Yep Even Jordan. Larry Really did like Playing against "The Great Athletic Players" back then. Because He Loved To Embarrass Them, It Was Motivation For Him. Larry Had & Still To This Day The Highest BB IQ.It's Just A Fact. And You Will See That High IQ On Display The More You Watch Him. Did A Good Job Here & I Hope You Keep Doing More Of Larry To Understand, Why He Was & Still To This Day The Best All Around Player To Ever Do It. Thank You for This One.
Ima for sure watch some more bird highlights !!

As a Laker fan in the 80s, I hated Bird, but I respected him. The Lakers played the Celtics for the championship 3 times in that decade. Lakers won 2 the Celtics 1. I believe Bird also won 3 straight MVPs. He was the real deal.
Great reaction. Also try Larry Bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit and stories that prove Larry Bird is the greatest trash talker video.
WATCH LARTY BIRD MAKING THE CASE , ULTIMATE PASSES, TEASH TALKIBG VIDS, AND HE PLAYED THE LAST 7 YEARS WITH A BROKEN SPINE
The left handed game was against the Portland Trail Blazers featuring Clyde the Glide Drexler. This was in 86 when the Celts only lost one game at home. That is right they were 40-1. That one loss came against Portland. So Bird was letting them know they just got lucky and he wasn't worried about coming in to their house and beating them at all.
Fracture of the right cheek.
Larry Bird Best Passer Re edit / Shawn Kemp's ULTIMATE Mixtape!
I watched that play live on television where Bird's shot got blocked but then he came back to steal on the inbound pass. The tension in that game from the first minute was insane.
That's an Indiana hooper for you! lol. Larry was a beast.
You got to watch Larry bird greatest passes re edit.
Bird IS the G.O.A.T. !!!!!! Larry was playing with a fractured right cheek and had a concussion! You really need to watch the newer edition of this! They all admit Larry was the greatest!
Great reaction to my favorite player
If you do decide to continue with Bird ( of course you will 😅)

Making The Case For Larry Bird being the Greatest player
His trash talking videos are great
And if you continue
The Magic/ Bird Documentary is one of the best I've seen
I subscribed and look forward to future videos
Jokic is Larry Bird as a 280 lb center. But Larry before injuries is able to hold his own defensively against 2-4 and sometimes even the 5. And has one of the deepest bags in history, he can go for 40 anytime he wants to no matter who's guarding him, and he is gonna tell you what he is gonna do before he does it. His passing ability to me is unmatched at the small forward position, his shooting ability gives him more variety of passes he can make compared to a guy like Lebron. Players have to get up close to Bird and throw off his rhythm and he just throws is behind his head for the pass regularly. Thats some God given shit, not just the strength control and coordination to make the pass but the 6'10 height to get it over the defender in the post. He also had a great ability to change his shot into a pass at the last second, he is undoubtedly top 10 and even tho there are some haters that dont think he could play in today's game, there are a lot of people that say he is top 3 ever and would dominate the modern NBA.
I can't imagine with a bone in your face in likely pain with every move on top of a concussion and STILL being that damned good.
Magic & Larry have the highest win percentage for a career still. I’m a Showtime fan and Magic is my favorite player however Bird was the best player in the 80’s. Magic had Kareem another Goat contender. Machale was slightly better than Worthy but after that the Lakers had talent advantage. The 88 Finals the Celtics big 3 all had injuries from the Bad Boys series.
Bird founded the 50/40/90 club and repeat member.
I have MJ & Larry as 1a & 1b then there is everybody else.
There would be no NBA if not for Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.. no MJ, no Coby, no Lebron.. nothing.. watch a courtship of rivals and you will understand.. Larry was the goat.. he saved the NBA
Everyone is going to tell you watch the documentary, Courtship of Rivals. For good reason
Is the best documentary ever, it chronicles Bird and Magics whole rivalry...
Most reactors break it down to four parts
47 he scored 20 in the last quarter
Note the transition from short shorts to mid thigh length.
Should watch "Making the case-Larry Bird" of you want to see some insane stats
New sub, great reaction thank you More LB please.
The foundation for every forward IS Larry Joe Bird. Luca and the rest are all in his shadow
Watch -> Larry Bird Greatest Passer of All Time (Re-edit w/ New Footage)
Bird has more full court dimes than most people have regular assists...Your jaw will be on the ground and youll see why he's Larry Legend...passed like Magic, jumpshot like MJ, 3ptr like Curry, rebound like Ewing (avg 10rpg career)...Bird won the first 3 thre-point contests and averaged a 50/40/90 for a 4 year stretch!
💯
Youve only scratches the surface. You'll see why us old heads stick up for him.
Oh yeah, he loved to and could fight
24-10-6
Bird was one of a kind, could do anything & everything on court. Career 24/10/6, nobody else has those numbers. But he was even better than the numbers...
Watch these 3 videos and you'll wanna get a green #33 tattooed on your arm:
Making The Case
Ultimate Passing re-edit
Courtship Of Rivals
Magic and the Lakers had a 2-1 record over Bird and the Celtics in the finals and Magic also beat Larry in the NCAA championship. So their head to head championship record is 3-1 Magic.
They were both asked who was the better player on the David Letterman show. Bird said he always judged it by success so his answer was Magic. Magic said that Larry could do more than he could so his answer was Larry. You can find that video on TH-cam which I highly recommend you react to, it's a great interview.
The three point wasn't even started till they came into the league nobody had been practicing that.
Welcome to THE LEGEND. If you watch too much of Larry. .it'll mess up your top 5 all time players...
A lot. 😄
fracture of the right cheek. he was playing with double vision
That’s Larry legend from a lakers fan
Bird was 28//10/6 for his career.
He fractured his right cheek bone which is part of the lower part of the orbital socket
Larry bird was John Wick dude
Also look at Pete Maravich in college. 44.2 ppg no 3 point line and only played 3 years.
Bird and Jordan. 1a and 1b greatest players of all time.
Mmmmm are they …
@@Torie988 yes they are
Yes they are. I agree. Bird is my Goat.
Bird ain’t that high on the list calm down
Yes , yes they are .
lakers and celtics was pretty even but the celtics didn't get a fair shake at it because larry was (essentially) terminally injured before he could make many season numbers.
Yeah, he was an elite passer, but your first comment is everything - as far as "Heart" and desire to win ? He is the only guy that imo compared to Kobe. And this is hard to say because I'm a Laker fan :)
Larry talked trash.. but backed it up.. Is that trash talking?? or just confidence? Not even arrogance.. he knew what he could do.. and would tell his opponents.. this is what I'm gonna do.. and they still couldn't stop him..
He broke his face.( cheek)
Still finished and won the game.
If you really want to know how good Larry is then you will check this out.
"10 Straight Mins Of Larry Bird Facts That Will Change Your Mind On Who's The GOAT 🐐🍀"
by SQUADawkins
He played with a broken face.
right cheek he broke his face
" I'd be mad for real, Id have to fight him"..... because he is better than you, you feel the need to fight him? That says more about you, and why you are not as good as him.
He averaged double digit rebounds along with the 20 points a game. There was a lot of trash talking and physical play. You have to embrace the physicality or you could not be on the floor. Bird was the better all around player, but Magic got more rings 5-3.

U have no idea how much Bird talked ish bro... look into it.. he is the GOAT trash talker..
Bird in his prime was a around 27 ppg, 10 rebs per (when Big star centers ruled the nba). All at a 50/40/90 clip. Founding member of 50/40/90 also.. think he was around 24 ppg for his career

Jordan , he never beat
Larry Bird . Swept him
twice in the playoffs .
