THIS BEST LARRY BIRD STORY EVER TOLD REACTION IS FOR FANS OF LARRY BIRD REACTION,LARRY BIRD PASSING REACTION OR LARRY BIRD TRASH TALKING REACTION ON RICHHOUSEREVIEWS NBA. I HAVENT DONE LARRY BIRD GREATEST PASSER OF ALL TIME REACTION,TRASH TALKING LARRY BIRD REACTION OR LARRY BIRD TRASH TALK REACTION.
I’m a 52 yr old woman and I’ve never really cared about basketball but I ran across a Larry Bird video and I’ve been hooked on everything Larry Bird and now I’m dreaming about over the head bounces passes! I love him so much!
THANKS FOR ADDING THAT AND FOR WATCHING IT MEANS ALOT
Larry Legend is the one true GOAT number 1 ALL-TIME could do it ALL couldn't be stopped by anyone was an unselfish player that took his average teammates and he turned then into HOFers and let's not forget he is the second winningest player in nba history behind Magic Johnson by less than half a percentage point
The reason I fell in love with basketball is Larry Bird's passing ability. Magic was an amazing passer but as a PG you kind of expected it. Bird was seen early on as a great shooter but the more you watch Bird his court vision is incredible. If you can watch "the greatest passer ever with re-edit" to see Bird throwing passes ( some full court bombs) and some between the opponents legs, that will take your breath away. It is impossible to pick 1 player as the "goat" because this is a team game and players are from different era's, different teammates, different opposition, but Bird has to be in that conversation because his effect on his team winning is so impressive. Bird went to a 29 win team and was the main reason Boston won 61 games = a 32 game turnaround and this was without Parish, McHale, DJ, Ainge or Walton. Bird has the 2nd highest win % of all players in the NBA = a hair behind Magic and Bird played in the stronger Eastern conference and never played with a player as great as Kareem. Look at what Bird did at Indiana State!! A small school with zero basketball history. Bird may be the greatest floor raiser and all around player we have ever seen. Some coach claimed Bird was like a swiss army knife = Bird can provide your team with anything it needs to win. Clutch game winning shots, defensive steals, rebounds, dazzling passes, and how do you measure heart and desire and will to win?? Bird had it all and has to be in the discussion. Thanks!
Let's not forget the fact that Larry Bird had great ball-handling skills, and he could have played at all 5 spots on the floor.
That’s 6’9” small forward ,
Larry Bird , out rebounding
a 7’4” Power forward and
a 7’1” Hall of fame Center !
Larry Bird had grit !
THANKS FOR WATCHING IT MEANS ALOT
Funny thing, he was playing more like a power forward, which was how he did early to his prime.
Lambeer was the most hated. By lots of folks.
Laimbeer was a dirty player who looked to hurt people. No room in the league for guys like him.
Yah, for Sampson this was not a usual thing. Laimbeer was always the most hated.
That's because he was so dirty
If you rooted for Detroit, you usually liked Laimbeer. Dude could drain a 3.
The greatest compliment I can give Larry is this.
Every single opponent he faced he inspired to dig deep and be a better player. You can see it with every interview.
It says a lot about your character when you inspire your opponents to be better.
It says a lot about you if you still beat them afterwards.
HE IS A REAL INSPIRATION
Larry. Hon, I am a 78 year old woman and I love watching team sports. Say anything you want but the Celtics were a team, as were the Lakers and others but on a hit and miss basis. Those guys PLAYED basketball and worked at it. But they always played together. And count the smiles on their faces. Now the NBA is a collection of individuals looking out for #1. That is why my 1988 Celtics jacket is the prize possession listed in my will. It was quite a tussle between my son and granddaughter.
3 time MVP in a row in days of Giants and Legends
I went to Boston University in the 80s. I saw firsthand how Larry Bird changed and inspired that city. I was fortunate enough to see him live on numerous occasions, even out-dueling Jordan early in Michael’s career in a game where the Garden was half empty due to a blizzard. I saw Walton and Red Auerbach raise the Banner the year after the Rockets win. I saw Dr. J’s last game at the Garden. So I know what I am talking about. As for Sampson, he was only hated that Game 5. He kind of faded into obscurity after that. Lame-Beer was always the Most Hated, with Ricky Mahorn and Rodman coming in a close second and third. One final thought: When Bird hit his head hard against the parquet in a deciding Game 5 against the Pacers, having to leave the game with a possible concussion, he went back into the game in the fourth quarter. The television cameras followed him out of the locker room right up to him going out onto the court. I have never seen anything like it. It was like Superman entering the building. Simply Amazing. Larry Legend will always be the GOAT in my mind.
Sorry I meant AFTER Game 5 about Sampson. He couldn’t do anything in Game 6 in Boston.
In Dec of 2023, I never looked at anything involving basketball or sports and I get this "Larry Bird ultimate mixtape" suggestion. I have no idea why that suggestion showed up on my TH-cam feed. But I'm from Kokomo, Indiana. I was raised in the 80s when Larry Bird was also going from college to the NBA. So I remember him big time. Everyone in Indiana thought of him as something big. It wasn't about him being white. It was about him being from Indiana. He was a Hoosier, just like me. And I'm a female, so I clicked on his mixtape to give it a view. And OMG. He blew my mind away! I remember as a young adult seeing this stuff on TV. And it made me access the good memories I had lost all those years ago. I now equate him with the fondness of my past. I've been going down the Larry bird rabbit hole ever since I found him on TH-cam. And I bought all of his books and a couple of his shirts. I've bought famous pictures of him and Magic Johnson and the Dream Team. Famous photos. On a personal note, if you're not a Magic fan, why even be a Larry Bird fan? They are intertwined. So I love Magic just as much, but he does not have a personal spot in my heart as Larry Bird does. Larry Bird reminds me of my dad, who has passed. He loved Larry and was proud of him. Larry will always signify nothing but warm thoughts and memories of my life. But his basketball playing is out of this world. He's the greatest of all time.
I had a chance to see Bird play in the Garden a few times in the 80s. The impression I have now is not of any 16:33 particular performance; I just remember being amazed by how he made everyone around him better. He was in total control and his teammates were stronger for it. I can’t think of any other player who had that kind of impact on his team.
HOW MUCH WAS TICKET COST BACK THEN?
Larry Bird was my inspiration for playing basketball 🏀. Ralph was hated just like Bill, just because he hit a smaller guy than him. But Bill couldn't go out in public without protection because everyone hated him with a Passion. Larry Bird was a COMPLETE Player and always trying to get his team involved in the Game!!!! G.O.A.T.
Gangsta. And Bill Laimbeer never played us for the championship in the garden- we were in the same conference. . If we weren't then we definitely would have burned an effigy.
Growing up in Australia playing under fifteens to me in late 80s early 90 Larry Bird was the best ever I wasn't the fitest all my team mates were Jordan magic fans but even then I was 6 foot and could defend pass and shoot at nearly 70% from anywhere on the floor couldn't dunk to save my self I love Larry bird
LARRY IS ALL THE WAY IN AUSTRALIA LOL THANKS FOR BEING HE IT MEANS ALOT
I love Larry Bird I grew up watching him with my father. He was amazing Larry Bird fan all the way and I even use the numbers 33 every time and every sport that I played all throughout School.
The TIMBERWOLVES just
started their franchise.
It was the easiest ticket
to get in town . But , when
Bird was on the Schedule ,
the tickets sold out way in
advance. Had to buy scalped
tickets to get a chance to see
the LEGEND live ! There was
actually lines formed to get
to the scalpers ! I remember ,
they were very expensive
tickets , didn’t care ..
Larry is in Top 3 for sure.He is leading that chart.
🐦=🐐 Larry Bird made me a fan of the sport...old school basketball. I don't care much for new school basketball. Now players are soft and play only for money. Back then it was about the love of the game and old school greats are far from weak.
LARRY LEGEND!!! I'm 55 nd im so glad I grew up in the Bird era not just bird but dr j, chocolate thunder Dawkins ,Ice man . The legends I've seen are many.....
At a very young age, I loved sports, and I am a woman! My family thought there was something wrong with me. Living in New England, Celtics, fan, patriots fan, Bruins, fan, Red Sox fan… I would give up time with my friends to listen to the games on the radio because back in the day they weren’t all on TV, or if they were on TV I gave up something to stay home and watch. So, it was easy to be a Larry Bird fan because I was a Celtic fan and saw many of the gates that came before him… He has sent it to that mountain, when he came to the Celtics and played and made everybody on his team better because of his greatness. When people are asked about Larry Bird, who know the game of basketball, their answer is the same as mine definitely in the top five all time.
THANKS FOR LEAVING THAT AND FPR WACTHING IT MEANS ALOT
Who's better?
Thanks for the content. Larry and Michael Jordan were the titans during my childhood, I can't imagine not watching them growing up
Richhouse reviews is the best sports reaction channel on TH-cam!! Thanks for keeping it 100 and showing respect to the older heads by doing a lot of The Legend Larry Joe Bird. I have brought my brother and his friends to the channel and they love it as much as I do! Peace
APPRECIATE YOU BRO ND TELL THE FAM WELCOME
I not only started watching basketball in the 60's but also baseball and football as well. All the kids did back then. We also played all those games. Only a very small portion of youth do that now. They are more entranced with their devices and have become soft. And yes, the NBA was in the tank during the 80's and both Magic and Larry saved the league. Excellent reaction. 🤙🏽💯🔥
I NEED STORIES LIKE THESE AND I APPRECIATE YOU WATCHING MEANS ALOT
@@richhousereviews I'm looking forward to many more from you.
I fell in love with basketball when sick with Covid. I began watching Larry Bird highlight reels and have been hooked ever since. We now go to NBA games. I got to meet Dominique and get a picture with him! My next goal - buy an autographed Bird jersey. LOVE BASKETBALL!!!
I can still remember watching that game. Bird was all over the place. He did everything that night, he scored he rebounded he was in every passing lane. He was great every night, but that night he was unbelievable! That entire 86 season Bird was special. Bird is my Goat, and it's not even close. Michael Jordan said it best, Larry Bird is a fucking problem! That's all that needs to be said. Long live the legend! Larry Legend
They were MAD at Samson for that GAME. He had just punched a Celtic in the previous game, one that was over a foot shorter than himself. Two actual - first Sichting and then DJ when he stepped up for Sichting. Walton then pulled Samson out of the fight and to the floor.
Laimbeer was/is a whole different thing. He was a maliciously dirty player.
The 70's basketball was at it's lowest... Larry and magic revived basketball in the 80's
Hun I was at every game of Larry’s in Boston a few out of state ❤ no one in the 40 yrs old & under gets how great a player he was … like ur channel much respect.. u ever want to know what it was like in the old Boston Garden no air-conditioning no nothing didn’t matter. Every receipt would be taken up Magic Johnson. Absolutely my second favorite player. I’m watching one of your videos. You asked who the best coach was hands-down CJ Jones .. and I loved when Red Ibach was around. A lot of people don’t know him either. Keep up the good show I like it channel.
I watched this whole series on tv Bird was and still is my favorite player. I jumped up and down every time he made a great play in this game. I could barely walk the next day.
APPRECIATE YOU WATCHINGA ND COMMENTING IT MEANS ALOT
Great job Rich. Yeah Bird - OG, All-Around. What gets lost is that Larry played Portland "Left-Handed" saving his right hand for L.A. Houston KILLED L.A. They were one of the best teams in history BUT they lost to THE Best team in History. Larry was 6 moves ahead of them all day long. The most clutch player ever. King of the 40/50/90 club, 3 consecutive MVPs & Athlete of the Year. LEGEND!!!! 🏀
I saw a playoff game in the Boston Garden when they played the Bucks. Bird had a triple double and the win, but his passing was unbelievable. The other thing that stuck out at me was that the entire arena was shaking all game long. It felt like you were sitting through a major earthquake. LOL.
I like the rawness of the garden and how many lives were affected ✅
I'm from Europe and i love basketball because of Larry Bird ..
Thanks for watching bro it means a lot
We had season tickets in the 80s for the Celtics. Absolutely amazing. Bird was unlike any other player that I saw... he could completely dictate a game and would put the team on his shoulders over and over. No more clutch or hardworking player ever. He didnt care about stats.. never did. He just wanted to win.
I lived in Detroit, met John Salley, loved the bad boys and hated the Celtics. Saw my pistons play during the championship and then bam! Started watching all these Larry Bird stories and can't get enough! Mad respect for him.
Me too and I appreciate the watch
Liked Basketball from childhood but never followed it until the Bird/Magic era. After they left I stopped following it. Never forget those years.
Raised in north Carolina and the twin towers in Houston and Dream said it was only $100 a punch 😂😂 Ralph was 7'4" before his knees went he was amazing
Larry Legend
Fam!
🙏❤️
I appreciate the fact that you came into this whole Larry Bird series with an open mind and willingness to watch another opinion. I also appreciate your honesty about Larry Bird as a player. Thank you for being a gentleman about the subject and please continue the good work you've been doing on this channel.
I am Hispanic from El Salvador and I love basketball because of James Worthy the showtime Lakers, 80's! I loved his style, the Statue of Liberty signature. Bird was a Beast.
HISPANIC OR NOT YOUR NOW FAMILY LOL
What up money? Appreciate you dawg. 59 yr old dude here. The washington bullets uniforms back in 1971 made me a fan, Started playing and never stopped. I was consistently that only white guy in the gym many many times. The time I recall the most was being in Anniston Alabama, and some friends asked me if I wanted to go hoop, I say hell yeah. So we go down to the rec center and its a Saturday, dusty floor, not very good lighting, gym filled with 50 brothers and ME. took 3 or 4 runs until I got winners and then I never left the floor the rest of the day, even when my team lost I would get picked up by another team. Best day ever shooting hoops.
We appreciate stories like these and thanks for stopping by if means a lot
I was born and raised in Anniston, Alabama
Was my first introcduction to Ryan's Steakhouse and that 100 item salad bar. Probably not as good now as it was in the 80s . Also my first introduction that everyone man in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama all think they are Nascar drivers....LOL
Larry Larry Larry❤❤❤❤❤
Yes - Larry Bird is the best all-around NBA player in history.
He was not the leader in any one statistic.
Here are 11 categories:
Points per game'
Assists per game
Field goal percentage
2pt field goal percentage
3pt field goal percentage
Free throw percentage
rebounds per game
blocks per game
steals per game
minutes per game
Percent of games won of games played in
There is only 1 player in NBA history that is among the top 250 players all time in each of those categories and that is Larry Bird, and Bird is in the top 60 in 7 of the 11 categories.
Here are the 7 categories and Birds rank
Points per game - 22nd
Assists per game - 47th
Steals per game - 38th
Rebounds per game - 55th
Free throw % - 13th
Minutes per game - 12th
Percent of games won of games played in - 2nd
Bird was just different.
"ALL AROUND"
Im 55 and Larry is my GOAT. Seen him on tv when i was very young. I forget all the things you said put this in the comment or that. How about I just say yea to all. Nice reaction and really liked the video was very authentic. Larry Legend is just that a legend in every fascite of the game.
Larry was on my paper route when he lived in married student housing. Any of you heard about the ISU baseball coach doggin Larry to the point that Larry played in a varsity game. Coach had to eat his words. I can remember 2x seeing Larry and little bro Eddie getting into fights at Charlie's or The Rafters.
The way i describe Larry's movement is, imagine you're in a 100m race and somehow, while you and everyone else wasnt paying attention, Larry already walked 90m towards the finish line then you hear the ref fire the starting pistol.
MAN I LIKE THAT STORY AND I APPRECIATE YOU WATCHING
I am a Hoosier growing up in Indiana where basketball is SUPREME! So many great players come out of this state! But "Larry The Legend" took it to new heights! Thank you, Larry, for making us all proud and thank you Richouse for bringing this forward!
THANKS FOR WATCHING
Absolutely lambeer was more hated. Samson was an isolated incident, whereas lambeer was a long term rival
Sampson really nailed that guy I remember.
I fell in love with the Celtics when I was 9 or 10 years old listening to the Celtics on the radio in the late 1960s in Canada. Bill Russell was my hero. Those Celtics were dominant, but like all things the fortune of the Celtics fell off. Then Bird arrived and reinvigorated the Celtics and gave us a new hero to get behind, along with Kevin McHale, Parish and DJ and Tiny.
I couldn’t afford a ticket, but I watched every televised Celtics game while living in Boston. They operated like a well-oiled machine and all the ball handling reminded me of the Globetrotters! Best basketball in the best era.
THANKS FOR WATCHING IT MEANS ALOT
Your commentary is righteous. I quit watching basketball after jordan left the Bulls. I played hockey pretty high level. I rarely watch pro sports anymore. The eighties and most of the nineties basketball was men playing. today its boys. but most pro sports are that way. I heard story the other day about terry bradshaw (i am steelers fan), dwight white hit terry in practice so hard once terry had to skip a play (they used practice in pads four times week). terry turn white and said you might not lose without me but you wont win without me. This was when terry was the offensive cordinator. Get his bell rung and still had to call the plays. Sports miss toughness. Hockey, football and basketball are becoming soccer. Quick fact.. Bird used to look at rafters during the national anthem in the Garden and stare at Bobby Orrs #4, the greatest hockey plater ever. God Bless
All around without doubt
I'm 42 old white snowman from Finland, and I originally got into watching basketball and NBA with my cousin after seeing "White men can't Jump" when it came out
Now we are family 🤣 I could watch that all day ✅
Larry Legend i came to love the game of basketball since i first watched kobe play on tv i played middle and high school basket ball i also loved learning the fundamentals of the game
Larry Bird! Boston here.
This is my childhood.. Grew up 45 minutes from Boston, many nights at the Garden watching Bird and the Celtics.
Larry!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!! 😎🍸
THANKS AUTIN FOR WATCHING
I saw one Celtic game in the old garden, they trounced the pre Jordan Bulls and Larry scored a triple double. The “Larry” chant was deafening. I was 14.
I was a good athlete, but not at hoops. so it was a sport I watched. My mom was a Celtics fan, so I grew up watching the games on UHF. It was the Bird vs Magic era that got me to watch. I always watched when they played the Lakers. I never hated the Lakers, like everyone I hated Detroit back then!
I grew up watching/following sports with all my brothers and dad. We were all Larry Bird fans.
I would.
ME AND MY DAD ALSO
Larry! I think I told you this in another post, my Dad. It started out as something to let him watch basketball. With a house full of females, he didn't get to watch what he wanted very often. But I'm loud and bossy LOL so he got to watch it because I said I wanted to watch it.
PS. You asked. George Gervin hooked me on Basketball in 1974 at age 13 with the Spurs. He came over from the Virginia Squires in 74 and the rest is history!!!! He played a few seasons against The Bird Man!!!! That’s where I started. In the old ABA League!!!!! Good times!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🍸
I APPRECIATE YOU WATCHING IT MEANS ALOT
Just 9 days after this spectacular performance the Celtics drafted what would have been the most athletic player on this team. Len Bias was a Dominique Wilkinson body type. Physical high flying amazing player to watch. Bias overdosed just 2 days after being drafted. This tragedy happened while I was at James Madison University basketball camp. When the news circulated I can't explain the impact that Bias had on a campus full of teen basketball players. He was the most dominant player in the NCAA. It breaks my heart to think what could have been. At the time I didn't realize how great the Celtics were I only knew that would have been better
just love Larry
I like old time basketball of the 80's Larry Birdwas fun to watch
#Larrylegend
My father got me into basketball 🏀 We were extremely excited when our Indiana boy started playing in High School!!❤
Hakeem was probably the second greatest player of the 90s.
The dream..was a thing to behold.. I'm quite sure MJ..studied much of his tape as...the force..the strength...power ...wow
Hakeem is my second favorite player. Hard to say why someone is a favorite--I guess it's just I like the way they do their thing, fun to watch AND effective
The only time I was as big of a fan of the NBA was in the eighties,I was bird fan after he retired I became a piston fan. The best NBA games ever
I'm not a basketball fan BUT I will take time to watch Larry Bird!! Some athletes go WAY beyond the game of their choice!
From Indiana. It is required to love basketball. Larry is our favorite Hoosier.
Great reaction to a really good video!
Thanks and I appreciate you being here
Gangsta but more importantly facts!
AGREED
Larry was 💯gangsta
THAT HE WAS
Top NBA career combined stats per game (pts, reb, ast, stl, blk) career fg%,tp%,ft%
1. Jordan 44.7 -50-33-84
2. Lebron 44.4 -51-35-73

5. Durant 40.8 -50-38-88
A bunch of guys in the 40’s.
What made the game great... ❤️ Heart
Where did that ingredient go the last few decades?
I think it went to bank charges...as that is the game(bank).now.
Thanks the vid RH.
APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE MEANS ALOT
I have Bird at 3 . I know MJ respected him he was glad to see him retire bc Bird was 23-11 against him. Some of those MJ wins came the year bird set out the whole year due to injuries!
Larry. I saw Bird play against the Cleveland Cavs at Richfield Colluseum. I was a Cavs fan but a huge Bird fan.
Loved this!!!
ME TOO
Great video wish I liked basketball growing up . Played hockey, football, soccer and football. Wish I saw these live
KNOW ANY GOOD HOCKEY VIDEOS TO START ME ON?
Look up the fighting videos Old school Stan Jonathon, Terry O’Rielly, Ty Domi, Bob Probert, Cam Neely …
I've seen many of these reaction videos but you really did a great job. Great flow, Great voice 🤘🤠
So far this is my second video watching your channel and I got to say I love the vibe!
Wow, thank you!
I would!
I knew of that game but never saw it myself. Would love to see it
YOU AND ME BOTH
Larry,
Larry!! ::::: putting my feet up, getting the popcorn::::::
Bird took care if Lambeer...
LMAO THAT HE DID
Heh. The Chief did his part, too, that one game, and didn't get ejected. The refs knew ol' Bill had it coming.
Larry is the GOAT ❤
Lambeer was hated by all players that played against him. Then tried to play victim! I know Bird hated him as a player and went so far to say I will never acknowledge him as a good player bc he was dirty.
DIRTY IS THE PERFECT LABEL
There is not only one great! Larry was a different time. He said it took him 3 days to see this league is bs, and he is the only one i heard of who told the Celtics, "if i can't play, or give not 💯, i don't want the pay in my contract!" It's a team game, Larry one on one with Jordan😂, no work for 23. Stop the hate, enjoy the great games❤, and Larry is one of the greats! Watch "Bird is the word-15 minutes of Larry Legend" lion heart👍.
You should watch the full game. You should. In fact you should start watching ALL Birds full games. Start with the 86 season.
I LIKE THAT IDEA
LARRY LEGEND
👍👍👍👍
Bird was the best player i have seen play the game
Larry got me into basketball , only seen him play twice in Barcelona, together with all those other legends. Best team on a basketball court eve!. Lambier was the worst a geniune A-hole
I KNOW BARCELONA WAS GOING MAD FOR LARRY LOL THANKS FOR BEING HERE IT MEANS ALOT
Seen Larry in Milwaukee. When i knew, and still know
The 80s and early 90s were wars. Much more fun to watch.
All around. That was Larry.
I would !!
About Lambeer What I remember from those days every person in Boston hated it was kind of social phenomenon
LOL APPRECIATE THE WATCH IT MEANS ALOT
I dig your channel. Bird was amazing. What Pistol Pete for another amazing player.
Larry
Bushwick bedstuy loved Larry bird. Patrick ewing got me to basket ball
It went down in 70s bird and magic brought it back in 80s nba took off in 80s so many great teams and players best era ever
The Twin Towers on Houston were a force to be reckoned with. It was a bit of a shock for we diehard Celtic fans, but it was very good basketball.
