Larry is A CLASS ACT!!!! FROM. THE START OF HIS CARREER TIL NOW... LARRY YOU ARE THE GREATEST PLAYER TO EVER TOUCH A BASKETBALL!!!!! SERIOUSLY "THE LIVING LEGEND"!!!!!

Jackie is an absolute pro, knowing the info and letting her guests talk without interrupting. She’s fantastic.

Spent some good times with Birdie. Drinking beer, golfing, shagging balls for him. Was fortunate to ride the bus and travel with those guys in 85 86. Games on the road and at home . Practices were the best! Even went to French Lick and stayed at the compound. Larry's mom made us breakfast one morning and it was just all so special. I'll never forget those golden days. All made possible by my good friend Bill Walton or as the Chief called him, WILLIAM!!

Congratulations Larry Bird. You deserve every honor and tribute for your fine playing, coaching and contribution to basketball.

Bill Walton made the Entire Event , Fun and Enjoyable. Larry Legend

Drunk Walton is full value for money........

Thank you Larry for all of your hard work, and for not giving up. You are a mentor that will live forever. Really. So, I am from Indiana have lived in tennessee for 26 yrs very proud to mention you to my friendsand family. Thank you again I know that you said it is a job, but what a job! Thank you sir! Mike .I lived in Indiana and was born in Indiana for 31 yrs ,went to state in track from Franklin Community High School. Took everything I had but, came in 11 th 3.29 mile relay. 1st was 3.26 So, I thought I would advance but,didn't. So very proud of you history. Your such a great player. Thanks again.

Hearing Larry Bird speak about his assistant coaches and his players. He definitely one hell of a player and coach. His basketball intelligence is really superb.

Joe B. Hall saying Bird was too slow to play at Kentucky is the ultimate “I wasn’t paying close attention that day” take

Bill Walton is so funny

His index and pinky fingers on his shooting hand are absolutely mangled and he was STILL one of the top five players in NBA history.

The best way to REALLY appreciate what Bird did on the court was to see him play live at the Garden

I have always been a fan of Larry Bird and his aptitude and ethics playing the game, and i am not even American. Looking at his fingers made me cringe and in awe at the same time, of how he was able to play at the highest level in the NBA. Respect indeed was earned!

The definition of "NO FUKS GIVEN!" Larry Bird.

Jackie is an awesome woman too. Love to her and her family.

Bird Swept Micheal Jordan in the playoffs, that’s With a Bad Back, Bone Spurs And a bad Achilles’ tendon, No disrespect to MJ, Hes incredible, Bird was unreal !

Man, Larry's right index finger was really mangled from that early baseball injury. Amazing that he compensated so well... but of course he did!

Larry Bird is my role model. Him and MJ are the greatest!!!

Every NBA Player should be mandated to learn the history of Larry, Magic, and Jordan to know who saved basketball and their own careers. Current players should be ashamed of how soft the game is now.

The real GOAT larry bird , you are the greatest among the great players in nba history past and present...you did it all ! THE ULTIMATE PLAYER !!! The great coach PAt Riley discribe you best ! Just watch Bird play...that's how you play basketball folks !

You've been number 1 player since I was 10 yrs old and you came to Boston into our homes on the tv ,you grabbed a piece of our hearts ❤ and that will never change #larrybird

The greatest player in NBA history in my opinion!

1 hour in.....you're welcome. Bill makes this great

Please Quinn leave the man alone and let him tell his stories for Pete sake....Damn it!!!

Just like Magic’s game earned his nickname, Larry Legend earned his!

I saw Eddie play when Spring Valley went to Washington Indiana. I remember Bob and Carl. It was a huge season. It seemed like every basketball fan in Southern Indiana had become a Sycamore fan. To this day my Dad is a Celtic fan because Larry played there.

Bill had one too many cbd gummies .

I know Walton can be long winded, but you should never prevent a new Larry Bird story from entering the world. So even if he's boring you, let Walton finish the story!

Now I know that the people who really love basketball know that Larry is the best basketball player. I still love to watch only Larry's play.

Here from Boston, Ma. Larry’s work ethic was instilled in me at an early age. Hoosiers should be proud to call Larry one of their own.

Let's see, 4th, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd. I don't think we'll ever see anyone else dominate the MVP voting like that again.

This is when your guy is very much love...

48:53 Man, that kind of wit and humor, only Larry 😂😂

I would love to sit down over a few beers with Larry Legend and just listen to him tell basketball stories.

Bill left the empty bottle of whiskey back stage 🙃

Scheduled time: 30 minutes Bill Walton: let's make it 2 hours Producer: but how can we stretch the program so long? Walton: oh you'll see....

LarBurd is trending amongst jr high basketball players here in KC, that’s all they say when they practice! LarBurd.. over and over again.. it’s hysterical they love him!

Obviously Jackie always did Legend right for they have a nice dynamic and he wouldn't have had all their dealings had she not been a straight shooter... I want Bill to tell more stories....Damn he's hilarious....I wish Quinn wild given the framework of his own story so Bill could tell it.

30 seconds into his arrival he already starts talking shit i love it 😂😂😂

I haven’t told anyone but after Walt Frazier was sent to Cleveland (and retired) I watched all of the Celtic games and tried to learn about The Legend! I watched Larry Bird but couldn’t understand your Legend ability, brilliance, toughness, heart, human sense, fun...I’m almost 70 years old now (2019) I’m beginning to learn. I even made 8 of 10 shots on basketball a few days ago...I learned that it takes everything just to be Ok! I can’t believe what it takes to be a Legend. Larry you are the best that I saw in Basketball/life. Larry I’m trying to teach my 7 2/3 year old great grandson. Michael is understanding life, baseball and Basketball & more. Bird is a teacher and we’re both getting education & joyous... Love Bird’s compleat humanity, even though not perfect! Ken newsweb@msn.com

Walton is hilarious!

In his last four years of playing he had both his Achilles blew out he had back surgery and the most phenomenal thing was that all those stats that he has that are so amazing for of the years of that he was injured and I mean hell and he did all that in 13 years there’s a lot of other players who have better stats but when you look how many years they played against how many years he played you got to take a look at that you really do because he did all what he did in 13 years it’s amazing

"If you love what you do and you work hard, you can achieve your dreams"...Larry Bird.....

I think I finally figured out why I've fixated on Bird, a figure from my youth in New England: he was supremely competent, had real as opposed to fraudulent confidence, got shit done big time, and was obviously and deeply kind (off the court!). Quite the contrary to what we have now. Jackie rolled with Bird's great humor pretty well. She needed to maintain a little statue-dedication dignity, but she knew to let it roll.

“Drawing a play for himself” lol

This is absolutely priceless

Thank out for saying and I WANTED HIM to keep telling!!!!!! He is always smiling and laughing telling them and many won’t tell all that. SO CHEERS 🎉🎉🎉🎉 To Bill Walton and Larry ❤s him regardless of how other people think.!!!! Yes I get the time deal and others on stage too BUT WALTON IS A TRUE LARRY LEGEND #1 cheerleader, friend, confidant, got his back, FAN, AWESOME TEAMMATE and I’m thankful for how he was comparing Larry to the musical geniuses and THE CONCERTS . BECAUSE YOU CAN GET THE MENTAL PICTURE OF ANYTHING RELATED TO LARRY OR RELATING. BECAUSE HE DOES NOT GET THE PROPER CREDIT EXCEPT FROM MANY OF THESE GUYS. Old School competitors respect is huge and given BECAUSE THEY WITNESSED IT ALL AND like was said about the back-brace, the pain pushing through what many didn’t know if they didn’t see or hear BECAUSE STATS DO NOT SHOW ALL THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat that JJ Reddick 🤬🤬🤬 sorry been mad lately for his junk. Guess because I played the game too had to overcome tons of obstacles and Larry was my dad’s favorite and he wanted me to be a boy and we would be shooting at 12 am etc in the freezing cold and I had injuries then and more now and I’m a 1st Responder and degree in sports medicine so I FACTOR IN EVERY DETAIL that “STATS” and PAPER DO NOT SHOW AND MANY TELL HIS STORIES NOT TELLING HOW HE DID ALL THAT AND WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH AND STILL SMOKING THE COMPETITION AND LOOK IP RECENTLY what the Pacer guys said about him when they were stretching before practice and he comes out of the office starts shooting and all SWISH SWISH SWISH AND WAS ALOT OF SHOTS THEN WALKED AWAY LIKE HE WASNT IN NICE CLOTHES AND ANYTHING BUT JUST TO MOTIVATE OR FIRE UP OR INSINUATE THAT IF HE COULDDO THAT THEY COULD TOO............MY dad was a great player and excellent coach and he always said “LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND ACTIONS” not always words...... and that is exactly why Bill gets so excited to talk about him. NOTICE WHAT THEY ALL AGREED ON THAT There would be NO wins or great team WO Larry Legend!!!!! He pushed everyone in a good way even with trash talk. He motivated. AND HE WAS UNSELFISH AND WANTED IT TI BE A TEAM NOT A “him” unless it was to distract all the competition so his TEAM COULD SHOOT & win!!!!!!

bill walton should have co hosted this event

Bill is funny I can here him talk about Frankenstein Kevin funnies thing I've listened to lol.

Let's get the most uncomfortable chairs we can find for NBA players 🤣

I LOVE listening to Walton absolutely Love him.. 2 Classic lines "WHY MARV ISN'T GOING 2BE HERE." Reference to him dressing up like a Woman in hotel room during Sex with a Hooker lol 😆 😂 THAT & "Jackie Go TO THE LADIES ROOM." LOL 😆 🤣 OMG HOW CAN U SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT ABOUT A WOMAN LMAO 🤣 😂.. IM SURE THIS IS A HUGE DEAL 2DAY OVER A JOKE...

Ive driven up that hill to the Pete Dye course, and the van we were in feltlike it was going to die!

Larry Bird The Real GOAT

Bill Walton though :) Crying right now :)))

Who ever heard of Indiana State before, or since for that matter, they were in the NCAA playoffs against Michigan State?

Bill Walton being Bill Walton

Very proud of you Larry Bird

Bill walton cool

Man that got real cringe worthy between Quin and Bill.

I wont say I admire Bird , because I too understood how some people can take avoiding an innocent hug as being 'rude'. Some of us our not as dialed in to our emotional feelings as others. And if people knew anything about Larry and how his upbringing was difficult ... they shouldnt judge so quickly . Granted ...Magic was a kid and didnt realiize Bird meant nothing wrong in avoiding a hug...as he would learn how The Old School Ways of being raised was much more priceless then of his own upbringing. And Larry also has dealt with what 90 percent of us havent. . Losing his father and the circumstances of the way he was lost. Until you walk into someone shoes people shouldnt judge so quickly. All this said It was good seeing Bird being more annimated and in a comical type mood then I have never saw him like ever B4. I was raised in Laker country to where Purple and Gold were constantly around me . And there was me .. In my Green and White Celtics jacket .. My Larry bird jersey. my converse AllStar Birds shoe. My mom and grandparents moved to Southern Cali after she graduated high school. in Watertown Massachusettes .. which is roughly 12 miles west of Boston . So being that I spent a good majority of my childhood with at my grandparents ... and all The Boston sports teams was a written law passed down from my grandfather .. unto me. And luckily , the only sports teams that got TV time back in those days .. were teams that were above average. Celtics games were televised and the rest is history It was like being raised in a Hornets nest . Cause 99 percent of my fellow classmates were all about the all about The Lakers . So it made for great trash talk during the finals. And not just Birds play , but ALL OF THE BEST STARTING FIVE EVER ASSEMBLEDs play is what gave me many off 'one ups' after the Lakers and Celtics would play head to head . Which was twice during the regular season and then in the playoffs. . Much Love for Larry and although he is extrremely humble.. , it was awesome having him to look up to and put the question to rest ... if White people can play Basketball. . I tip my hat to you Larry and congrats on your career. Sorry about the C's sweeping the Pacers this year, Next year , Indiana will be a force in the playoffs that many wont wanna play .

They shouldn't have placed these execs after Bill...what a slow down!!

Larry Bird...enough said

Think Walton drank that bottle before going on stage

The greatest!!!

bill rolled some...

They needed more Walton stories the other players were lumps of logs on this night.

Awesome✨

I really wish Quinn woulda stopped trying to intervene as Bill Walton was telling his stories...For whatever reason u could tell Walton was getting on his nerves but I'm telling u he was the only one it was bothering...I wish he would have stopped interrupting and let the man tell his stories, he ruined it...Nothing personal but not everyone is a great storyteller like Bill is and maybe ur just a little jealous I dunno so I'd like to have this segment done over without Quinn getting so irritated...If you cant abide by that then maybe just go sit down in audience and if that bothers you then you could have simply left...? N I really respect QB but for whatever reason he just couldn't let the man do his thing which I was loving....With all due respect , for real.....

thanks for the upload

What a great week to be a Sycamore!

an impact incomparable to all basketball player , street or professional level !!!

Larry Bird, best player everytime in Nba ❤️👏

You got to admit that Jackie Mac knows her stats she remembers everything she's obviously a Hoosier got to respect the journalist who does her homework

Happy Birthday LJB

larry's pushin me,larry's pushin me 30:25 lol

Damn, Jackie looks fine in that dress...

My goodness. Was Bill in a manic episode or what? I want some of that wiskey he was drinking. Jackie Mac was a class act to not verbally take him to task. But we can all agree Larry Bird is the type of guy who can lead men and they will follow. Whether charging a hill in Vietnam or lead the team on the hardwood. Those type of men lead by example and the troops will do anything that is asked of them.

The Indy 500 and basketball doesn't get any better than that!

Larry Legend is aptly named. John Legend is not.

I love Bird, but I can't listen to Walton anymore. Bye

I can tell you this. Bird went to class.

Is there any doubt, if Bird had the right coach at IU, they win 2 or 3 NCAA Championships. No, Knight has to be the usual HS, and he blew it.

Damn, Walton was high as f@#$ that night

What is Quinn Buckner doing up there, and why is he interrupting Walton?

Bill Walton is a treasure

Love the video but sound is too low even with speakers 😢

Is that Joe Klein? Forgive me if thats not how its spelt. Dude looks massive.

Larry is thinking, fuck who forgot to give Bill the bud we special ordered from Oregon for him.

I cannot stand Walton! he must have mentioned the greatful dead/jerry garcia more than he did Larry/Celtics

Bill is GREAT'

kevin the penguin willis

Doesn't Walton ever shut up? He is annoying but funny.

Bill upstaged that bald dude so bad.

Walton is out of control.

It's a tough call deciding who the "biggest name" associated with Indiana State basketball is. Some of us remember that John Wooden was the coach there for 2 years (before the name change from Indiana Teacher's College) before he went to UCLA. Poor Mel Daniels, he'd be #1 at most colleges instead of a somewhat distant #3....

In Arizona Larry

it good to be remembered

i can't say he compares to a battlefield hero. that wasn't one of his tests. i don't think he would have left anything but honorable efforts in such a situation. that's the thing i feel about him.

Why does everyone say he can’t jump? Don’t you have to jump to dunk the ball?

Bill Walton. What a doof.
