If Larry Bird was black, you would have heard more about him. White or black, if you keep watching Bird videos, he will become your favorite player. He was a killer and his will to win trumped everyone else's. He talked smack and got in defenders heads. Michael Jordan once said "Larry taught me everything I know about gettin in folks heads"
Nah this right here !! Definitely feel like if he was black he wouldve been talked about more but its like he has that title of a great white basketball played but nah he is goated frl !!
@@JonahReactionsdo your homework on his trash talking. More than one player has said Bird told them that putting a white player on him was disrespectful. Dude was truly next level. You never knew what he was going to do, shoot it in your face, pass, fake it and then shoot, you truly never knew. His basketball IQ was something that was never seen before and has never been seen since. As it was said at the beginning of this video, he was a basketball genius, I’ve even hear him being called a savant, which I can’t even argue with. The man’s knowledge of the game is truly next level. It’s truly a reason why he is the only player to win MVP, then coach of the year, and executive of the year. If Bird has been able to maintain his health, along with the level of play he had, yeah he would be instantly GOATed.
@@JonahReactions 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!!

im saying it now. Larry bird is the most best ALL AROUND PLAYER EVER.. and that is not hyperbole, that is a FACT. 24 pts, 10 rebounds, 6.3 assists PER GAME and shot near 50/40/90 for his CAREER on offense. 1.7 steals, .08 blocks per game and led the league in Defensive winshares four times on the defensive end 3 mvps back to back to back.. 3 rings.. there is NOONE in HISTORY with THOSE all around stats.. NOBODY could post, shoot, move off ball, iso, rebound, pass, defend AND WIN like Larry Bird did. He got the 2nd highest winning percentage in history behind Magic
Even Lebron got Larry in his top 5. I hope you go down the Larry Bird rabbit hole. It's a fun ride! If I was given the task of making the greatest basketball team of all time, the only name I am calling is Larry Bird. Then I sit back and let Larry pick the players HE wants to play with. In my opinion, Larry is the smartest, clutchest and best overall player to ever play. RoY, league MVP 3 years consecutively, 3 Championship MVPs, NBA Coach of the Year, NBA Executive of the Year... whatever Larry touched in the basketball world turned to gold. #GOAT33
I use to kill me when the newer generation stopped talking about Bird in the goat conversation. Not sure how his name got lost to time but these videos are opening eyes
The reason nobody told you about Larry Bird is the same reason they don't play you music from the 60s and 70s when it was better: Because they want you to buy what's out there now, and if you know what was in the past you might demand a little more from your heroes...
My favorite Bird quote: Laker's head coach Pat Reily said, "If I need somebody to take a shot to win the game, I'm taking Michael Jordan. If I need somebody to take a shot to save my life, I'm taking Larry Bird". That says it all/
Bird saved the NBA from tape delayed obscurity, popularity was waning, He and Magic then passed the torch to MJ, who never beat Bird in the playoffs.... 0-3 in series play.... he didn't become the best until after Bird retired
7:30 u aint peep how he got blocked w 5 secs left down by one. caught the steal on the inbound and got the game winning assist in less than 5 seconds. craziest shit ever
Larry Legend was 3 time MVP , 3yrs in a row during the era of NBA Legends and Giants. and won the first 3 point competitions 3 yrs in a row Enough said.. Jordan doesnt even compare. When Jordan became big , that's because Larry and Magic have left the league already by then. No comparison.
Larry Legend GOAT! Mr 4th quarter. Mr. Clutch! Back in the 80's if you didn't have blood on your uniform you weren't trying. Bird's Will and Competitive Nature was only matched by Jordan. Jordan didn't have the tools Bird had. Larry could win a game without having to shoot. He didn't have to have the ball to effect a game.
90% of the highlights you just saw were in the NBA playoffs or the NBA finals. Who else is a highlight real like that? But to really appreciate him, you have to watch a whole game in which he played. You will see how the other players move for the ball and he never misses the pass to them
Larry Legend! Welcome to the TRUTH of basketball my friend! Larry is a GOAT, right up there with MJ, Kobe, Magic- he was like that. A monster on the court- imagine this man playing TODAY!
What you didn't hear when you were talking was that Bird played a game with his left hand just because he could. He had 27 points after 3 quarters! Also, when he got hurt, he had a fracture of his cheek bone and still came back out and finished the game.
@@JonahReactionsnot only 27 w/ his left, it was a 40 something point triple double with a buzzer beater to send it to OT and another buzzer beater to win it in OT
Larry has 3 MVP's in a row, only the 3rd player to achive it along with Bill Russel and Wilt Chamberlin, I'm of the opinion that Larry can't be ranked with other players
First time watching. I can see Larry Bird getting by some of the younger guys, but when he said he was gonna have to watch Michael Jordan now, my jaw dropped!!! I gotta see him react to The Michael Jordan Mixtape. Please tell me that's happening soon (haven't looked yet).
The only player in NBA history to avg at least 24 points 10 rebounds and 6 assists for a career. That’s correct the only one! From 1980-1989 he led all MVP voting for the decade with 67% the next closest was Magic at 37%. He won 3 consecutive MVPs and in my humble opinion is the greatest SF ever. Just over Lebron, their points rebounds and assist are really close but his shooting percentages is what separates him from Lebron. Bird is actually under- rated by fans because he’s been forgotten by the newer and younger fans. Us old guys remember.
The reason you never hear any one talk about the old school players like this is because it’s all new young kids! They don’t do research and just watch ESPN/fox, and believe what they say about players! They don’t realize they hold back things and only tell half truth’s because they need ratings! Dive deep into the 80’s and 90’s!! There is sooooooo…many tough players! Dominique Wilkins, Hakeem olijuwan, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Tim Dunkin, Dirk, Jason Rider, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, man I can go on and on!!!
Most folks only look at Bird's representation in the games out today and think that all his game was about shooting. That was a SMALL part of his game, as you can see from here.
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, jumper like MJ, 3ptr like Curry, rebound like Euwing (avg 10rpg career)...
No, Magic presented his jersey to Bird at Larry's RETIREMENT CEREMONY at the Boston Garden. There was NO GAME played that night. Celtics fans filled the sold-out Bird retirement ceremony and proceeds went to Boston charities. The ceremony lasted 2 hours, ending with his number 33 retired & lifted to the Garden rafters with the other retired Boston Celtics legends. This was not your average halftime retirement show. The Boston Celtics organization & its fans HONORED Larry Legend cause Bird is the NBA Best All-Around Player EVER to play the game.
Bird was described as a man who is too slow, can't jump, & can't get off his shot. Disrespected BEFORE he even played his FIRST NBA GAME. If these HATERS were right, how was Larry Legend name MVP 3 years consecutively? Nobody disrespected The Legend during his playing years because he was proving the HATERS WRONG. Now that Larry is retired, the HATERS have come back with their DISRESPECT. You are right. Larry Legend has "white man's disease" & he will NEVER be in the HATERS' GOAT conversation. It will always be Michael & LeFlop. In today's basketball era, a "white boy" will NEVER EVER be considered THE GOAT. FACT.
You’ve just glanced at the index outline on the very first page of **The Legend of Larry Legend**. Here’s some homework assignments : “Making the Case : Larry Bird” “Larry Bird, the Greatest Passer of All Time (re-edit w/ New Footage)” “Larry Bird - Bird is the Word” “Five Times Larry Bird Was Injured but Refused to Quit “ “Four Crazy Stories that Prove Larry Bird is the Toughest Player in NBA History “ Plus every video you can find about Larry’s trash talking 😂
Something to consider. A few months before the start of Larry's NBA career, he had an accident playing softball, where he bent a few fingers backwards, on his shooting hand. He said that he never had the same feel for the ball that he had in college. And look at what he did, thinking he was handicapped by that accident. Imagine if he hadn't hurt the hand.
5:00. We all know how great Michael Jordan is! Michael Jordan LOST all 6 playoff games he played against Larry Bird. Larry Bird won 3 consecutive NBA MVPs!! HOW is Larry Bird disregarded today?? He was the greatest player of his generation.
Magic & Larry, resurrected the game of basketball...My dad loved basketball, but stopped watching, until the competition between Johnson & Bird was highlighted...What my Dad used to say, about Larry's game, is that it reminded him of someone, who wasn't only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, football, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, & what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique & gifted players, I ever watched! I would love you to react to the video, Larry Bird STORIES that prove he's the BEST TRASH TALKER, told by NBA players: th-cam.com/video/v7Id88T5DPsf/w-d-xo.html if you haven’t already seen or reacted to it 😊
Don't trust what people say about the time before they were even born. People alive and watching during Bird's career know the TRUTH. MJ was 0-6 against Bird in the playoffs
I grew up watching this team every night…oh, what a show!! That 86 team with Bill Walton was unreal. The ball movement just broke teams. Source material for ya: th-cam.com/video/EcQKvJER8Vs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GUHgcWTDmpLUf_IP Original calls from Mike Gorman.
@@JonahReactions In Part 2 of that about a minute in, Larry sinks a game winner against Phoenix and points right at the bench. He was telling them "I told you so" because he left the Celtic huddle and told them the play. Dennis Johnson, who'd later become a key Celtic, was on that team.
Larry Legend was an assassin on the court.. He's top 10 for sure.. in my book.. top 5. He played chess when the opponents were playing checkers.. and he played with a bad back since the 85/86 season.. came back from 2 achily heel injury's, broken foot, fractured cheekbone, concusion.. Iron man
@Jonah seek out making the case for the goat larry bird it will give you all the reasons why for many of us Bird is a top 5 player all time. Follow your passions young man, go seek out greatness of the past in all areas you enjoy sports, books, or films. Greatness has no expiration date
8:39 Larry fractured his orbital bone, was rumored to be on a stationary bike watching the Celtics struggle. When trainers left the room, Larry (not yet cleared to play) Ran out to the court. Think that's why he is duckin Infront of the bench. To hide from staff 😃
Subscribed. Larry Bird is the rabbit hole most appreciated. ONE highlight montage usually puts Bird in the top 10. Second one. ...like his passing highlights....top 5 Third one....like his trash talking vids. .. or how he played hurt....and I mean...cant sit down, in traction for hours the night before because of a broken back... And youll start wondering if MJ isn't the GOAT after all... Just a warning. 😉 ....
Gotchuu !! I just uploaded his passing highlights!! Insane go give it a watch ! thank you for the suggestions and support definitely will check the others out too !
Larry is the orginal professor of Basketball, his knowledge of the court was legendary, he seemed to always know where everyone was and had a mad passing game because of it.
I'm not even a sports fan at all, I never watch it or go to games, but I just like watching anyone who is the best at what they do, so I still watch all these Byrd reactions.
If you think Bird is nice you should check out pistol pete. He's the guy that basically invented a lot of the flashy moves used today. Check out his college highlights. Unfortunately there isn't great NBA footage of him.
@@JonahReactionsPete Maravich was incredible, he is to this day the NCAA all-time scoring leader and he did it in three seasons 68,69 and 70. Pete was one of the best ball-handlers ever. Although his pro career was short and not as remarkable as his college career he still managed to be a five-time NBA All-Star and the 1977 NBA scoring champ among other accomplishments. Petes last year, 1980 was spent on the Celtics with Larry Bird in his rookie year. I definitely second checking checking him out!
Just some facts about Jordan and Bird. Jordan never beat Bird in the playoffs. Bird is the only great that Jordan had a loosing record to. Fans and media will lead you to believe that Jordan carried the bulls and the Celtics carried Bird yet when Jordan sat out a year the Bulls only dropped 2 games. When Bird sat out for a year the Celtics dropped 15 games. So facts prove otherwise
Magic and Bird were the best players in the NBA that appeared at the last moment to save professional basketball. Before them games were not shown live, with channels instead playing reruns of an older tv series.
I was a Jordan fan, but if I were to pick to start a team my first pick it would have been Larry. It’s always gonna be that way. Larry was the greatest teammate.
If Larry Bird was black, you would have heard more about him. White or black, if you keep watching Bird videos, he will become your favorite player. He was a killer and his will to win trumped everyone else's. He talked smack and got in defenders heads. Michael Jordan once said "Larry taught me everything I know about gettin in folks heads"

Larry won the first three 3 point contests. 3 in a row.
Larry has 3 MVP's in a row, only the 3rd player to achive it along with Bill Russel and Wilt Chamberlin, I'm of the opinion that Larry can't be ranked with other players

Greatest all around player done
The only player in NBA history to avg at least 24 points 10 rebounds and 6 assists for a career. That’s correct the only one!
From 1980-1989 he led all MVP voting for the decade with 67% the next closest was Magic at 37%. He won 3 consecutive MVPs and in my humble opinion is the greatest SF ever. Just over Lebron, their points rebounds and assist are really close but his shooting percentages is what separates him from Lebron. Bird is actually under- rated by fans because he’s been forgotten by the newer and younger fans. Us old guys remember.
100% younger guys dont really talk about the older players but mj !!
Bird and Jordan are m y top 2.. followed by Magic and Kareem. then like 6 other players (Lebron, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, Wilt, Olajuwan, Oscar Robertson)
Yea im definitely going to have to check out more vids from larry and some more old legends!
Your list is the same as mine. Identical.
Respect
You're spot on with your ranking. I agree too! 👍
The reason you never hear any one talk about the old school players like this is because it’s all new young kids! They don’t do research and just watch ESPN/fox, and believe what they say about players! They don’t realize they hold back things and only tell half truth’s because they need ratings!

Magic & Larry, resurrected the game of basketball...My dad loved basketball, but stopped watching, until the competition between Johnson & Bird was highlighted...What my Dad used to say, about Larry's game, is that it reminded him of someone, who wasn't only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, football, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, & what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique & gifted players, I ever watched! I would love you to react to the video, Larry Bird STORIES that prove he's the BEST TRASH TALKER, told by NBA players: th-cam.com/video/v7Id88T5DPsf/w-d-xo.html if you haven’t already seen or reacted to it 😊
Thank you for the feedback i def will react to that thank you for the recommendation too !!
The best clutcth scorre ever
Don't trust what people say about the time before they were even born. People alive and watching during Bird's career know the TRUTH. MJ was 0-6 against Bird in the playoffs
He's the best. I used to love to watch Larry Bird and Magic Johnson play . They were unstoppable.
I grew up watching this team every night…oh, what a show!! That 86 team with Bill Walton was unreal. The ball movement just broke teams.

Original calls from Mike Gorman.
Oh snap !! Im going to have to react to some of these too !! Thank you for the support
@@JonahReactions In Part 2 of that about a minute in, Larry sinks a game winner against Phoenix and points right at the bench. He was telling them "I told you so" because he left the Celtic huddle and told them the play. Dennis Johnson, who'd later become a key Celtic, was on that team.
Welcome to the real world. Larry Joe is the one true Goat!
Jordan learned from someone.
Check out "Making The Case for Larry Bird"... if you liked this video ... that one and the one's on his trash talking... you'd love.
Gotchuu thank you for the support much appreciated!!
I could watch these all night.
Larry Legend was an assassin on the court.. He's top 10 for sure.. in my book.. top 5. He played chess when the opponents were playing checkers.. and he played with a bad back since the 85/86 season.. came back from 2 achily heel injury's, broken foot, fractured cheekbone, concusion.. Iron man
Watch Bird’s 50 greatest passes re- edit video. Wild.

DO YO HOMEWORK ON LARRY BIRD
Tell dem boys do they homework
It wasn’t his retirement game, they sold out on Larry Bird retirement night….they packed the arena.
8:39 Larry fractured his orbital bone, was rumored to be on a stationary bike watching the Celtics struggle. When trainers left the room, Larry (not yet cleared to play) Ran out to the court. Think that's why he is duckin Infront of the bench. To hide from staff 😃
OH SNAP !!
Subscribed.
Larry Bird is the rabbit hole most appreciated.
ONE highlight montage usually puts Bird in the top 10.
Second one. ...like his passing highlights....top 5
Third one....like his trash talking vids. .. or how he played hurt....and I mean...cant sit down, in traction for hours the night before because of a broken back...
And youll start wondering if MJ isn't the GOAT after all...
Just a warning. 😉
....
Gotchuu !! I just uploaded his passing highlights!! Insane go give it a watch ! thank you for the suggestions and support definitely will check the others out too !
Keep digging on Bird stories
Thank you for the support!
Larry is the orginal professor of Basketball, his knowledge of the court was legendary, he seemed to always know where everyone was and had a mad passing game because of it.
Always my GOAT Larry BIRD
Larry Bird is the best all-around basketball player of all time!!!!!
Bird is the best all around player ever. Period!!
I'm not even a sports fan at all, I never watch it or go to games, but I just like watching anyone who is the best at what they do, so I still watch all these Byrd reactions.
Thank you for the support!!
His will to win and killer instinct was the best ever . Fact
I've got about 120 Celtics games on tape. Great watching the dude play back in the day.
Won the first 3 3 point contests
Ahhh thats what that was ! Thanks for the support
MJ and Bird, the only true GOATS🎉🎉
Great reaction!
Jordan, Kobe, LeBron & many others have Bird in their top 3. Almost impossible to have not heard about em.
Larry is the GOAT
Great reaction
Thank youu !!
Always my GOAT Larry BIRD ❤
The one true Goat, Larry Joe.
A lot of people dont grasp how good anyone was before the Jordan era .
There was no game the day of Bird's retirement ceremony. The Garden was packed with people coming out just to say goodbye to Larry Legend.
You should watch the video of how Larry and Msgic became friends and a video of other basketball players telling stories of Larry's trash talking.
Definitely will look into that thank you for the suggestion!!
Bird and Jordan's McDonald's commercial playing horse was legendary.
I'll definitely check that out !! Thank you for the support
If you think Bird is nice you should check out pistol pete. He's the guy that basically invented a lot of the flashy moves used today. Check out his college highlights. Unfortunately there isn't great NBA footage of him.
Oh yeah i heard of pistol pete before !! Never really looked into him ! Thank you for recommending
@@JonahReactionsPete Maravich was incredible, he is to this day the NCAA all-time scoring leader and he did it in three seasons 68,69 and 70. Pete was one of the best ball-handlers ever. Although his pro career was short and not as remarkable as his college career he still managed to be a five-time NBA All-Star and the 1977 NBA scoring champ among other accomplishments. Petes last year, 1980 was spent on the Celtics with Larry Bird in his rookie year. I definitely second checking checking him out!
A player that's not talked about a lot is mamoud abdul rauf. A 90's guard with a quick release 3.
Oh snapp def will check him out !! Thank you for the recommendation!!
These greats had hearts of champion. LeFlop is cringe when comparing these these greats
LOLL
Just some facts about Jordan and Bird. Jordan never beat Bird in the playoffs. Bird is the only great that Jordan had a loosing record to. Fans and media will lead you to believe that Jordan carried the bulls and the Celtics carried Bird yet when Jordan sat out a year the Bulls only dropped 2 games. When Bird sat out for a year the Celtics dropped 15 games. So facts prove otherwise
Magic and Bird were the best players in the NBA that appeared at the last moment to save professional basketball. Before them games were not shown live, with channels instead playing reruns of an older tv series.
Would love to see you react to Jason Williams' best plays or his best passes, probably flashiest and most entertaining player to watch highlights of!
Perfect ! I just uploaded my video to Jason Williams today ! Someone else also recommended him !!
Go check it out ! Thank you for the support
Keep in mind Bird is 6'10
I was a Jordan fan, but if I were to pick to start a team my first pick it would have been Larry. It’s always gonna be that way. Larry was the greatest teammate.
