Bird was one of the few players I've seen who forced you to play at his pace. If he played today, he'd make all the adjustments necessary to dominate the league. Especially since all the rules have changed to benefit the scoring. Larry Bird would be ridiculous in today's NBA. Great vid bro.
BIRD was one of the most fundamentally players-EVER. He was also the-BEST-all around player during his era. There's an interview where Kareem said Larry could do everything and the Lakers couldn't stop him. Larry Bird was a-BEAST-of a player.
You also got to factor in that he would pass off a lot to keep everyone in the game. He didn't care about personal #'s and that's what everyone today wants to look at.
lol dude. bird was the first 50-40-90 guy EVER! and he did it for four years, AND won the first three 3 point contests in a row- show me this with curry
Larry Bird is the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 club, the only person in NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year, 3 point Champion three straight years, MVP three times straight (When competing against Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Dr. J, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and many more), Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year. Also Hall Of Fame Head Coach Pat Riley once said " If I had to choose a player to make rh winning shot of a game. I would pick Michael Jordan, but if I had to pick a player to make a shot to save my life. I pick Larry Bird."
During the summer yet not signed with Boston his trainer for Boston said he was damaged goods. So the guy who offered him a contract before committed to Boston took him to the court and let him shoot. Aribuch said you’re fine. Although Larry said later he never felt the same tough since the injury
I think the 4 toughest in this season were the Sixers, Lakers, Pistons and Rockets. A few others had some tough star players (Aguirre, King, Nique), but they were beatable as a team. Which the Celtics did lol.
Magic Johnson said....Jordan was the goat in the air. Larry Bird is the Goat on the ground! The game was a hell of A lot more physical back then...I seriously doubt Curry would be able to shoot the way he does now! You don't understand the way it was played back then!
bird is actually left handed. look at video of him signing his contract- left hand. he threw baseball lefty, that is how he hurt his right hand diving for baseball in outfield, bent his right hand backwards. he just happens to shoot righty,lol
Curry is the best for 3 points but you have to remember 3 points were discouraged at that time so if Larry had foccussed on it I think he would have been a monster..
Did Curry tell his opponent's where he was going to shoot and do just that??? I didn't think so. Larry was two steps ahead of any opponent. Curry is great. Bird snd Magic saved the NBA from collapsing.
After the game and from the outside you're always know better! Being on court is different, at least he tried and gave💯every game. He even told the Celtics,"if i can't play, or give not 💯, you don't have to pay me!" Never heard any other athlete saying this! There is always a better one, but you don't find many with a heart of a lion. And as Bill Walton said"playing with Larry was like being on tour with the Grateful Dead, you never knew what was going to happen, but it was always explosive, dynamic, fun, and competitive". Enjoy the great games from whoever, and try to learn some.❤
Idk I think yall don’t know really what Kevin love was doing. Not saying he’s a better passer but as far as starting the fast breaks it’s Kevin love all day
@@wuandoI don't think you know how great of a outlet passer Larry was. Larry is so great he throws them with his left hand behind the backboard and shovel passes accurately full court. Your wrong man. You just don't know.
@@wuando please show me a video compiliation of Kevin Love throwing that many full court passes.. ATLEAST 30 of them, and then you have an argument. if not, you are speaking from your feelings. cuz that re edit video shows 33 full court passes from Bird. that is PROOF. please provide me with proof. and yes I have seen Kevin Love, just not seen him do it THAT OFTEN as Bird did.. Please re educate me.
@@wuando th-cam.com/video/zo_yGEQ4Feg/w-d-xo.html here I did your job for you. I counted 25 full court passes and this was a video ABOUT full court passes. impressive. in a video just about PASSES, Bird had 33 full court passes.. hard to say one is better than the other really.. but since I COUNTED more from Bird, i'll go with Bird. That is how you properly debate. you show proof of what you are talking about. Proof. NOT my OWN "wisdom"
@@wuando from what ive seen tho, i'll give Love credit, he is AS good, well maybe ALMOST as good as bird in outlet passes. but BETTER? I cant say that from what ive seen
Not way better, but you have to realize that there was no zone and you couldn't double someone who didn't have the ball. That made passing tougher because everyone had someone in their pocket. His touch and long passing was insane. You should probably watch his passing highlights. "Larry can't run or jump cause that was God's way of making things fair." - Sir Charles Barkley.
Until the 2000s basketball actually played physical defense now they don’t…… it’s the game of horse and will the shooter make it or not no damn skill whatsoever
Look deeper. Both Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were "Officially" 6' 9" But if you look at Magic and Larry standing side by side in photos, Larry was noticeably taller. There is an article that explains the discrepancy; I will try to find it and send it to you. It had to do with the way things were done back in the day. @@wuando

Larry made his team better! Unselfish player . Great visionary player
lol dude. bird was the first 50-40-90 guy EVER! and he did it for four years, AND won the first three 3 point contests in a row- show me this with curry
Watch him signing his contract. Bird is a lefty, but was taught right hand like nearly all players. Cool that he’s so good at both that way!
Charles Barkley said Bird being unethletic was God's way of making it even
Larry Bird is the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 club, the only person in NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year, 3 point Champion three straight years, MVP three times straight (When competing against Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Dr. J, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and many more), Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year.

To save your life you going with bird.. Ima have to stick with the goat Jordan!!

It was the team doctor I thought that examined Bird...?
I think the 4 toughest in this season were the Sixers, Lakers, Pistons and Rockets. A few others had some tough star players (Aguirre, King, Nique), but they were beatable as a team. Which the Celtics did lol.
The Bucks and the Blazers were probably the next 2. Some of those early-mid 80's Bucks teams were bruisers
W vid definitely one of the best bird vids out there
Appreciate that! I try to put out the best content I can!!
Q Watch this short . It adds to Larry's trash talk and backs it up! th-cam.com/users/shortsU1xGF4ry1rE?si=vHz3QXbPBJoM3_9d
Curry is on the 50/40/90 list only once
Even though he wasn't that good at blocking shots he has a higher career average than LeBron James does
yup

27 In 3 qters with the left. Game got close he went back to the right

You're correct about Larry and Bird saving the nba at their time.
Seems like you look to find anything wrong with his game. And have a really hard time with acknowledging how great a player he really was. 😂
Who larry bird?? Do you watch my reaction I give LARRY BIRD his props all the time. Everyone else do the same to Jordan lol
Nice find, bro! Haven't seen this one.
Classic video to watch. I hope you enjoyed it!

Larry Bird was a better outlet passer than Kevin Love.
Idk I think yall don’t know really what Kevin love was doing. Not saying he’s a better passer but as far as starting the fast breaks it’s Kevin love all day
@@wuandolove not even a better outlet passer than his mentor wes unsled
@@wuandoI don't think you know how great of a outlet passer Larry was. Larry is so great he throws them with his left hand behind the backboard and shovel passes accurately full court. Your wrong man. You just don't know.
kevin love? lol bird got over 30 full court bombs in one video.. lets see love throw over 30 full court passes like that..
And do you see what Kevin love has??

Actually Larry Bird is better than Steph Curry at 3's, those are just facts!
That’s not a fact at all by any metric. Facts can be backed with data
@@TheIcemanthomas And they are
Nah there is no way lol curry is the king of 3s right now
nice react tho. they have other videos like this with jordan, magic, lebron curry kd.. watch em they are dope..
I'll check it out appreciate it
Proof? 3pt shooter?You are once again comparing apples and oranges, I see. Better-- numbers yes....clutch no....
Im older and watched larry. I love larry… but curry is the best shooter to ever wear sneakers
Have you watched 5 Times Larry Bird was Hurt and Played Anyway?
Not way better, but you have to realize that there was no zone and you couldn't double someone who didn't have the ball. That made passing tougher because everyone had someone in their pocket. His touch and long passing was insane. You should probably watch his passing highlights.

You can get us back. Just mention Bill Buckner lol.
😊
Until the 2000s basketball actually played physical defense now they don’t…… it’s the game of horse and will the shooter make it or not no damn skill whatsoever
He signed his contract with his left hand 🤚
Everyone is playing basketball. Larry Legend is playing HORSE
He was for real doing anything he wanted to in the games he played
He was 6' 10".
who larry bird??
@@wuando yes. Look into it. You will see.
@@snowflakehunter I just looked it up they gave me 6’9

Larry Bird > LeBron James
Why is that?
If Bird has true athleticism it wudda been unfair lol.
Curry is not a better shooter than Bird! You're trippin!
On the other hand, if he had had the athleticism, he may not have been so driven to develop skills.
That is true. It was a blessing for him because he got to do what a lot of players now cant do lol
GOAT Your in denial
Jordan will always be the GOAT
Jordan never beat Bird in the Playoffs GOAT@@wuando
