Top 5: C - Wilt Chamberlain PF - Tim Duncan SF - Larry Bird SG - Michael Jordan PG - Magic Johnson With the GOAT going to Wilt Chamberlain....forget the number of records he holds by himself....the 100 point game or him shutting down Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Byron Scott, A.C. Green and Bernard King at 43 years of age..... He is the only person in human history capable of blocking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook at the apex of its shot trajectory on a regular basis at the end of his career. The most unblockable shot in human history was regularly snagged out of the air by this superhuman of an athlete.

Bird was the most complete player to ever play the game. Not one hole, and every part of his game was better than everyone else. He played at a time with the most HOF and beat the all.

You really need to watch Larry Bird’s Greatest Passes Re-Edited and Larry and Magic: A Courtship of Rivals. When Larry came back into the game after fracturing his cheekbone, they didn’t mention that he had sustained a concussion and had double vision but still willed himself to bring Boston back to victory. The dude had broken his back in 85 and would have to be in traction for hours before a game to realign his spine to be able to play. Nobody was tougher than Larry Bird, especially mentally. He would eat them up in today’s marshmallow league. No painkillers EVER. He was so well conditioned he could outlast everyone.

Yeah, I mean think about all the rules the NBA has now to prevent overly physical play - flagrant fouls, automatic flagrants if you hit someone's head, players aren't allowed to leave the bench if there's an altercation on court, flagrant foul if you land in a shooter's landing space, and of course no hand checking on defense. (That famous foul where McHale took Kurt Rambis down was just a common foul - no ejection, no flagrant (didn't exist back then).) All of those rules had to be put in place...which means there was a time BEFORE those rules existed. Well, that was the 80's (and before the 80's).

His defense was questionable. A lack of dunks, lay-ups, finger rolls and put backs. I remember Larry in the 80's. He was outstanding and by far and away the best player on the Boston Celtics. I just watched MJ's Mix Tape compared to Larry's. Bird is a better jump shooter, rebounder and passer. MJ dominates every other category.

Larry bird career 24-10-6 a game Founder of the 40/50/90 club . Considered by many The most clutch shooter in NBA history One stat that doesn’t show up . Bird was a savant at running down loose balls Game six of the 1986 finals bird is in a jump ball with Olajuwon of all people . I’m watching this live on TV thinking Houston is getting the ball back. Some how Bird beats Olajuwon and wins the Jump ball . There are better scorers, better rebounders , very few who were betters passers , better defenders. There has not been a better overall player than Larry Joe a Bird . He just knew how to play the game of basketball.

Fun Fact: Larry really started doing all the behind the back passes and other fancy things after he found out Magic Johnson couldn't play anymore because of HIV. Back then, we didn't know enough about the disease, and so, it was like Magic was given a death sentence. Bird was so upset, not only did he call Magic, but he started doing those types of passes (which were a Magic specialty) in honor of him! Also, of all the basketball players and even counting his own teammates, Larry was one of the few people to call Magic after finding out he had HIV. Magic was deeply touched by Larry doing this and the two have been very good friends ever since.

I watched him he was great! That shot when he got his own shot was in a playoff game. He got his step back his rookie year from a guy that played off the bench in practice by the name of Terry Duerod. You need to watch more videos to get the full scope of how great he actually was. He and magic Johnson saved the league and then passed the torch to Mj. You need to watch his passing videos and so many more to really see for yourself. Enjoyed the video.Bird knew where all his teammates were at all times.

If you want to know about Larry, listen to the greats who played with and against him talk about him.

LeBron, James, and two videos says his top three are Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Dr. Jay in that order great vid I would recommend making the case for Larry Bird. That’s a good one too.

Larry fractured his cheek bone when his head hit the floor, then he came back and won the game

With good reason. I hope this reactor watches Courtship of Rivals. When times were or are tough, they are there for each other.

This is probably one of my favorite bird reactions. You said you were too young to know Larry but you are a Kobe fan and a LeBron fan.... both of them put Larry Bird in their dream starting five. This comment has been brought to you by a Celtics fan whose first game was age 7.
