Watch my Magic Johnson Mixtape reaction here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK6AhMeoyZi8d2Q.html

I don’t know if you’ve heard the story but you probably have. Larry Bird had in his contract that if he continued into 1994 he would earn $5 million a year. On August 12 I believe, he walked into the general managers office and told him he was retiring. His contract was to renew for $5 million on August 15, the general manager said “ Larry why don’t you take a week and think about it. Larry looked him in the eye and said, I know what day it is, and if I can’t play at 100% I’m not gonna take your money. That says a ton about Larry’s character !

In a 9 year run from 1980 to 1989, Larry Bird got 67% of all MVP votes that were cast. All other players combined only received 33% of the votes.

The pass behind his back that you called unnecessary was in the game following Magic's announcement that he'd been diagnosed with HIV and was retiring immediately. Bird was crushed by the news. Back then, HIV was a death sentence. That pass, right there in the middle of the court, was for Magic. Bird had a hard time controlling his emotions that night.

Bird didnt just fade away. He won a coach of the year award with the pacers and executive of the year also with them. He recently became a consultant with them. Birds still in the game.

Whether one considers him GOAT or not, he is truly a LEGEND.

The retirement ceremony was a testament to Bird's legacy at Boston. The stadium held 14,890 souls, the Garden had no game or other event scheduled for that night and It sold out to a standing room only crowd. Bird is one of the top tier greats of the game. Anyone who don't get that, don't know basketball from horse shoes.

Larry fractured his right cheekbone when he hit the floor, doc said he was out but Larry waited till the doc wasnt looking and came back out on the court scored 17 more points and won the game.

My dad has been a Lakers fan since forever, I'm born and raised here in LA a lifelong Lakers fan myself, and even though I wasn't old enough to ever see Larry Legend play on TV, I'll always remember my dad shaking his head at any mention of him at the fact that Larry was just way too good and made that 80's Celtics team one of the greatest in the history of the game for ruining a lot of Lakers victories. Magic is my favorite player of all time but goddamn, Larry was something else, and I feel he deserves his nickname, Legend, for being the most unassuming looking dude ever with little athletic gifts who still dominated the game in ever facet ever. The dude talked the most shit in NBA history, backed it up, and toyed with the best players in the world out of pure fun and killer instinct competition because he could. That's why I was hella confused when I was a little kid and my friends who were into basketball like me dismissed Bird like he was just some outlier 3-point shooting white guy and nothing else when Bird did everything while regularly putting up triple-double statistics all the time - even after his back was debilitated and his body breaking down on him. Folks don't know that Bird was the real deal of NBA basketball and now that I'm older, I can appreciate Larry Legend was an absolute monster on the court, and his rivalry with Magic was just way too good and almost perfectly scripted that saved the league when those Finals battles were real wars being battled on television. I apologize for the block of text but I find it tremendously cool that more people are finding out about this man and his legacy from folks like you on KZfaq to appreciate NBA basketball when it was its golden era, players earned their pay for staying on the same team to compete and win, nobody was afraid of getting hurt to do it, and the idea of joining your rivals to win rings was the exact opposite philosophy when Bird and Magic were thriving.

When you see someone as good and athletic as Dominique Wilkins dropped by a step back, you know you are a LEGEND.

Your formula for the behind the backboard shot was spot on. We had a team of experts from Switzerland flown in to check the math. Well done Sir.

I think my favorite quotes about Larry Bird was James Worthy "I'd rather guard Jordan then Bird,. Jordan makes you look slow, Bird makes you look stupid"

I saw almost all of Birds games. Some of them live. I can tell you without a doubt that Larry Bird is the smartest most clutch player I have ever seen! He is the purist shooter you will ever see. Unlimited range, could make any shot. The 1986 Celtic team is still the greatest team I have ever seen play. They went 40-1 at home. If you want to see a basketball team play as one, watch some of those games. Bird was unbelievable. Larry won his third straight league MVP in 86. Bird is the most complete player I ever saw. He could do it all. He only played 13 seasons because he broke his back and had surgery on both feet. After the 87 season. I believe if he hadn't got injured and was able to have a full career, he would have put up some numbers that no one would have touched. He was one of a kind, there will never be another Larry Bird!

Bird also averaged 10 rebounds per game for his career in an era that featured some of the best centers and power forwards in the history of the game.

After JJ Reddick's presumptuous and relatively ignorant comments on Larry Bird, it's nice to see people discover more about him. One of the absolute greats.

The Bird is the greatest all-around basketball player of all time. Watch his greatest assists videos and you will agree.

When you realize Bird won the MVP 3 years in a row, during a time of some of the greatest players ever!

I grew up a Laker fan, watching Magic, Kareem, Worthy......and no one scared me more than Larry Bird.

8:38 the guy just drowned a 3-point alley-oop and u complimant the pass?! 🥺😅 Great reaction!

I heard it said like this about Magic & Larry's passing; "Magic Made Easy Passes Look Hard & Larry Made Hard Passes Look Easy". No Larry Didn't Really Do Flashy, Larry Was Only Interested In Team Winning. The More You Watch Him You'll See He Has The Best IQ Basketball. He was all about making the TEAM better, He was Very Unselfish.

Larry broke ankles because his opponents Never knew what the man was going to do. Larry had so many tricks up his sleeve that other players had an almost impossible time trying guess if he was going to fake a shot or a pass, or take the shot, or pass the ball. Sometimes he did a combo of those...lol. Larry was the best at coming up with ways of getting scores, even if he didn't put the ball into the basket himself. He was generous in passing the ball to teammates, even when he could have easily made the baskets...and again, that kept the other teams off balance as they rarely knew what the man was going to do with that ball. (Even, ironically, lol, when he told them every move he was going to make on many of his plays...lol) One of my favorite quotes about Larry -- by Charles Barkley: "Larry being unathletic, is God's way of making it fair."

Watch the re-edit of Larry birds greatest passes. You would be in heaven.

Larry Bird in gaming terms is what you get when you have all the stats that matter maxed out. He got a shooting skill that was insane. Passing that would make even the goat puzzled. Court IQ that made even Pat Riley feel stupid. Trash talk that left rookies scarred for life. Most importantly he didn't need to be a one man show like Jordan. He used team tactics that changed so quickly that it left many teams questioning if there was any strategy to beat the celtics that could work. Some did get lucky but most did not. The scariest thing of all is Bird was to some extent injured his whole career. First it was his hand which was damaged just before he joined the team but even then he played so good it turned a low level team into championship contenders. Then he got injured a lot on the court but still played so hard that people hardly noticed the injuries. Even at the end of his player career with his body badly broken and barely the man he use to be, he was still able to hand out repeat losses to Jordan like it was candy. Even after that he became a coach of the year and later an executive of the year. Not many guys today can boast that.

Larry Legend. He was first one at practice everyday.Worked for hours before games. He was a one man wrecking crew. Played great team ball but if he needed to take over he could. Talking trash the whole time.

Being a great passer is like being a Grand Chess Master. If you haven't watched Larry's greatest passer mix tape you'll luv it, especially since you seem like passing. Great reaction! 🤩👍👍👍

In his 13 seasons in the nba, larry bird made the all star team 12 times. The only time he didn't was because of a reconstructive back surgery, following a season ending injury in 89. Won league mvp 3 times, in a league with Reggie Miller, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley, to name but a few. And between 1981 and 1988, whenever he didn't win he was always 2nd in votes, every single year. Founding member of the 50/40/90 club Over 13 seasons, he averaged 24.6, 10.4, 6.6, and his single game record was 60 points - thats why the hawks were jumping off the bench. They were witnessing history

Greatest to ever do it. Best all around player and it’s not that close.

What you forgot to say was how amazing the Boston Garden looked back then.

This was great! There are so many Larry bird videos. You still need to discover, but I highly recommend the next one. You will enjoy a lot: Larry Bird, greatest passer of all time (re-edit with new footage). Seriously. Watch more amazing Larry Bird videos! Subscribed for more Larry Bird. You’re just barely discovering the greatness.

For those that think Larry Bird was not as good as he really was and never had the chance to see him play this comment is for you. Remember in this comment I am just highlighting Larry's NBA accomplishments. Little know thing about Larry to those that never saw him play , he could effect the outcome of a game and never take a shot thats how devastating his passing skills were. Here is one thing that most fans (people) either don't know or try to ignore, prior to Larry joining the NBA there was no such thing as a three point line, that came in when Bird was starting his first year of his NBA career. Just think about it, what would todays game be without the three point line or if the line was one foot farther out like it was when it was first introduced. Food for thought. At that time it was not about the individuals stats it was about the win. But if you need some stats here you go: Here are some of Larry Bird's notable career achievements and statistics: Three-time NBA champion (1981, 1984, 1986); Two-time NBA Finals MVP (1984, 1986); Three-time NBA MVP (1984-86); 12-time NBA All-Star (1980-88, 1990-92); Nine-time All-NBA First Team (1980-88); All-NBA Second Team (1990); Three-time All-NBA Defensive Second Team (1982-84); NBA Rookie of the Year (1980); NBA All-Rookie Team (1980); Three-time NBA Three-Point Contest champion (1986-88); Career-high in points: 60 (March 12, 1985) -- tied for franchise record with Jayson Tatum; Named NBA Coach of the Year (1998); and Named NBA Executive of the Year (2012). Larry Bird, was the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 achievement, and one of two players to achieve the feat in multiple seasons. Career averages: 24.3 points per game 10.0 rebounds per game 6.3 assists per game 88.6% free throw percentage 49.6% field goal percentage 37.6% 3-point percentage Now we can't forget that Bird famously played with two injured ankles and a notoriously cranky back that forced him to lay down on the floor during practice breaks. After season-ending foot surgery just six games into the 1988-89 season

Dude, Michael Jordan never beat Larry Bird, and Lebron, when asked who his favorite players were, said Larry bird, Michael Jordan and Kareem. He wasn't really a trash talker, because he backed up everything he said, so he was really just talking. He was one of the only players to call their shots coming up the floor. Plus he was ambidextrous too, and played the last 7 years of his career with a back injury, often spending the night in traction so he could play the next day. If you want to see how magnificently this game can be played, watch Larry Bird.

Congrats on your upcoming bundle if joy💕💕💕 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 was not only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, hockey, baseball, football, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, and was what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique and gifted players, I have ever watched! 🏀🏀🏀

All the Pistons/Isiah Thomas had to do was inbound the ball and they were going to the NBA Finals. That play sent the Celtics to the Finals. That moment is the epitome of the word Clutch and exemplifies playing the game with everything you have till the very end. Everyone in Boston thought that game was over. Only one person didn’t. LEGEND.

I really like the “the toughest NBA player” video because it highlights what people didn’t see when they watched Larry play. His pain tolerance was off the charts and puts him in a whole new category when you realized that he still played on and still made all those shots and passes.

When he took that fall against the Indiana pacers it was the playoffs in his last season at the end of his career, he has pretty much been playing with a broken back for about his last 7 years. We thought that was the end on that play. He came back with a fracture of his right cheek and double vision. If you love bball then you really gotta dig into Bird more. They just really don't make them this way. There's multiple videos about his injuries, his ish talking, his toughness etc etc, Check out Making the Case by Clayton Crowley for Bird, (and the other 7 he says has a substantial claim as the goat)

React to more Larry Bird!! Subbed!!

Bird was a monster player- he had so many weapons in his arsenal, and even when his back went bad he was still torching the best of the best. He had the respect of his peers because they knew damn well if you made any mistake around Larry, you were going to pay for it! Larry Legend.

What you didn't see here as Magic was approaching the stage was Magic flashing the Celtics t-shirt he was wearing under his Lakers warm-up. Larry played beyond hurt. hr played about half of career with what was essentially a broken back that would pop[ out of place and lock up. This put him in traction more than a few times to allow him to play the next game. He would also lay on the floor in front of their bench when he wasn't in the game. if he sat on the bench during his bad spells, his back would lock up. The fall during the Pacers game resulted in a broken cheekbone and a concussion that game him double vision for a few games after that one. The only season he wasn't in the All Star game was because he only played something like 6 games that season due to having to have surgery on BOTH Achilles tendons. Yet still he persevered. One more point, this time about the Portland game that he played the first three quarters left handed. That was the season that the Celtics only lost one game at home in the entire season. That loss was to the Portland Trailblazers. Coincidence? Or did they piss Larry Legend off?

80s Basketball was the peak of skill and effort basketball. Huge number of athletes in the league...where being white automatically made you 2nd tier. Of course, Larry changed everyone's mind about that. He and Magic saved the NBA from oblivion. Best SF ever. And that's MJ's current opinion, btw. God bless!

The comment coach Pat Reily made about Larry,and this says it all too me. He said, "If I could choose one player to take a shot to save a game, I'd pick Michael Jordan. If I had to pick one player to take a shot to save my life… I'd pick Larry Bird.”

I laughed out loud when you were doing calculations on the behind the backboard shot!😂 Check out the 60 pts against the Hawks. It will blow your mind! Great reaction! I’m subscribing 👊🏻

YOU did a great job, by the way when Larry fell on his face and then came back you didn't hear them say he had a fractured check bone and a concusion and helped them win game 5 in a 5 game series

Bro. I loved that little breakdown on paper of the behind the board shot. Funny stuff! Keep it up man and keep grinding

This was hands down the best era of basketball. No matter how old I get and how bad my memory, I will never forget these games by Bird and especially the games between the Celtics and Lakers. I just feel there will never be another time in basketball that can top this.

As a Knicks fan, it was tough to watch Larry "do it to them" but he was amazing to see in person - there was always something he did that you couldn't believe you actually just saw! lol Have fun discovering how thoroughly good this guy was - his trash talking videos, passing videos, etc. - he was definitely one of the greatest players of all time. He's in my top 3, for sure - Him, Jordan and LeBron for me - and if it comes down to a last shot - Bird every single time!

Great reaction. Thanks! Bird was the best small forward ever. I watched him from the beginning all the way until his bad back made him retire. The night before a big game Bird could be found at a local bar drinking everyone under the table and getting into fist fights. Two Pat Riley quotes about Bird: 1) "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan; If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life...I'd take Larry Bird." 2) "He's the greatest clutch player I've ever seen. The hell with Jerry West!"

Comparing old players vs new players is always interesting. Newer players have more well rounded skill sets, partly thanks for players like Bird and Magic, who were bigs who could play any position. They also have much better training and health care. Older players were cut from a different cloth, though, and were generally tougher and more competitive-minded. Some of them, like Bird, did not care what the media thought of him and even told them so, and he hated the stupid controversial stuff they like to create. I'm a big fan of some of today's players, like Kyrie Irving, Jokic, Giannis, Steph Curry, and others. But if I was going to start a championship dynasty, the very first player I'd draft is Larry Bird. Then I'd get Jordan, and go from there. Bird was not only an elite level individual player but he was a great team player. He had unshakeable confidence and could not be intimidated, and he was tough as nails. And every player and coach knew he was going to be a problem. He was just a menace until he retired.

First time seeing your channel. Good job, and your entertaining.

You missed at the @15:20 mark in the Indiana Pacers game - he played the rest of the game with a fracture in his face. MOST players today wouldn't even come out of the locker room for the rest of the game. He rallied his team and led them to a blowout.

First of all, congratulations on your soon to arrive baby. Awesome!! Loved the video, thank you. I'm a Bird fan. I would encourage you to watch more Bird as well as Magic. They became close friends in a very cool way. Much love.

Larry Legend had absolute total situational awareness and knew where everyone was on the court at all times. It was an amazing time to be watching the NBA.

Subbed just for the old school basketball reactions. Bird was a straight killer just like the billy goat jordan who learned a lot about mind games from playing against larry. Magic and jordans bulls mixtape are a must. If you want to see the greatest rivalry in sport try reacting to a courtship of rivals magic and bird both saved the nba in the 1980s when it was on its knees they are both in my top 5 all time great players but are easily the most important players in nba history. Slainte from ireland.

Congrats bro, nothing better than seeing one of your own. Kids are Christ blessings.

Congrats to you and your lady for your blessing 🙂🙏 Loved your reaction, and Larry is on my top 5 all time list ❤ you would love the video of his greatest passes

I'll be honest, I'm a new sub simply on the part about the calculation bit over the backboard! BAHAHA, that was gold my man GOLD!

love your reaction to this mate. esp at the end with magic. cheers from Australia :)

Dude, you made this really fun to watch, even if I've seen it about a hundred times, lmao, great reaction, Bird is LEGENDARY!!!

If you like passing, you found the right guy. You should really check out a Larry passing compilation. Back up point guard Jerry Sichting said team greatness starts when your superstar is willing to give the ball up to anyone who's open. Not many guys like that left, but Larry and Magic were all about winning!

Wow, congratulations on your new baby & best wishes for a safe & healthy delivery!

When you pulled out that notebook and started with, " If we're looking at the trajectory" in your most analytical voice and mannerism, I just cracked up. You're funny. That was so good.

Love the Celtics, love Bird, love passing and loved your reaction. I smile a lot at reactions but you made me laugh. Thanks.

Great Bird mixtape reaction. I enjoy watching folks 'discover' the greatness of Larry Bird and this was a great video. You really need to take a deeper dive down the Larry Legend rabbit hole. Check out at least a few other videos on him like 5 Times Larry Bird Was Injured But Refused to Quit (you won't believe what he endured and played through!), the Making The Case for Larry Bird video, and Larry Bird trash talking videos. I'm sure you'll get some other suggestions, but these are ALL worth your time and from what I've seen on other channels, will help your channel blow up.

The reason that jab/stepback broke ankles is that Bird pioneered it. Even the best players can't anticipate something they've never seen before.

Nice reaction you had me rolling when you got the pen and paper out that was funny let's go

Congratulations and good luck on starting the family brother

Larry Birds skull and toughness are what make him The GOAT. He came back from DOUBLE Achilles surgery and played 5 years with a BROKEN BACK. Please was he greatest stories ever told part 2

Fresh take on a KZfaq personality. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Alright first time watching your channel, excellent video. Ok the next video you must watch especially if you like passing is The Greatest Passer Larry a bird the re-edit. It’s 15-17 minutes of nothing but Bird passing the ball. Trust me you gonna love it! I was in high school when Larry and Magic were doing their thing and there’s one thing we used to say about their passing skills. “Magic would take an easy pass and make it look difficult, Larry would take a difficult pass and make it look easy!” Man you want your channel to blow up keep doing the Bird videos. I’ve seen it many times before and there are a ton of them to watch. You got a new sub and I. Looking forward to seeing more vids. Oh and congrats on the new baby, welcome to the club. Oh not just a shooter Birds the only player in his career to avg 24, 10, & 6 Here’s the link for the video I talked about above kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd2fZ9mlxsDRo40.html

Yessir I saw that game vs.Oacers.. Concussion.. Fractured cheek.. Double vision.. Came back same game..kicked ass!!

I enjoyed your reaction, KZfaq is lucky to have you keep going

My husband grew up in Boston in the 60s-80s… he is LOVING your reaction!! Lol. You will NEVER convince him that anyone was better than Bird. He’s living in GS Warriors territory now. Giggles

First, congratulations, Papa and Mama. 🎉 Get that girl a 🧸 and a 🏀. Second, your reaction video is great. Keep doing what you're doing and your channel will explode. I'm almost seventy, a daughter of Tobacco Road, and grew up playing and watching the greats. Yours is the FIRST channel I've ever clicked for alerts.

Amazing review, glad you enjoyed it young fella. I grew up with Larry and Jordan ect. Great basketball back in the day. Pretty physical, not the same today.

The respect that Larry and Magic had for each other only comes from two competitors who respect each other. I agree its beautiful.

We are SO glad we found your channel

Very entertaining Freez!

YO! "... "So if we're looking at the trajectory ..." Im dyin. 😆🤣💀☠️

That over the shoulder catch and pass is brilliant. You noticed it straight away. So many miss it.

Congratulations on the baby soon! That is really awesome. Cutting the cords when my babies were born is my best memories.

Larry definitely top 5 & the best small forward ever! I liked ur commentary! Definitely subscribing!

Behind the backboard messed you up! Lol 😂 Bird was awesome!

The pause and in depth analysis of the over the backboard shot has me cryin bro 😂

After you watch a few more of Bird’s videos, find his best passing video. Larry Bird is the GOAT!

Just so you know, a lot of these games happened after Larry seriously damaged his back! He was in pain throughout the games! Many games he was laying down on the floor when he wasn't playing so he could save his back for his playing time. I was lucky enough to go to some of his games and was amazed at his skill and his ability to handle pain! Unlike many players today.

Really enjoyed ur reaction. Seeing how u appreciated larrys passing u need to watch one of the many highlight videos dedicated solely to his passing.

Larry Bird and Magic Johnson are in my top five because they pushed each other into greatness. Larry looked at Magic's box scores each morning and Magic looked at Larry's the same way during the seasons. Magic's team was deeper then Larry's and as time went on the Boston starting five would get tired and injury prone. Boston's coaches did not substitute well. Neither Magic or Bird can be mentioned by themselves as they were intertwined even as opponents. After the tennis shoe commercial they became friends and realized that they were more alike than different and became fast friends. They saved the NBA and were the greatest players of their generation. They started together and retired together.

So cool to see young guys like you, who obviously know a ton about the game, appreciate Larry Bird. I saw him play back in the Eighties, and the highlight reels don't lie. He had a hundred ways to beat you, and he was a cold-blooded killer in crunch time.

Congratulations Dmosneaks!

Enjoyed your reaction. Great personality and very respectful of the greats of my generation, OK, one on one , lol. Just kidding, I subscribed, 😂

LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️

I enjoyed the calculation thing! That was great!

Congratulations 🎉❤🎉 On your new baby. I think watched the re-edited version of his paszing you will like. You'll have to watch what all of the players back then thought about him. The greats, etc.

I knew you were a real one when you noticed how insane that pass at 8:00 was, most people don't get how tough that is. I died when for that shot behind the back board you pulled out pen and paper hahha

Larry retired in 1993, the begnning of the video was showing part of his retirement ceremony - Larrys era was in the late 70's college through the 80's which was his prime era and retired in 93

Bird played his whole professional career hurt from day 1. Between the end of his college career and the start of his pro career Bird shattered the knuckle on the index finger of his shooting hand. Bird said he never had the same feel for the basketball after that. Then in the summer of 1985 he hurt his back while shoveling gravel building a driveway at his mother's house. Bird played until his body couldn't take it anymore. He didn't manage is workload because he said if you get paid to go to work, you go to work. As for the difference between today's era and Birds era - the 3pt shot is way over used today. Let's look at some stats from the 1980-1989 era and the 2020-2023 era Bird era Today fg attempts per team per game 88.85 88.375 fg's made per team per game 43.11 41.125 3pt fg attempts per team per game 3.45 34.53 3pt fg made per team per game .99 12.4 rebounds per team per game 43.78 44.25 offensive rebs per team per game 14.47 10.15 ft attempts per team per game 29.14 22.625 ft's made per team per game 22.07 17.575 assists per team per game 25.83 24.725 steals per team per game 8.78 7.525 blocks per team per game 5.37 4.775 Points per team per game 109.29 112.25 So when you look at the stats about the same amount of shots are taken per game , but 10 times the amount of 3 point shots are taken today and yet the average score has only gone up by 3 points a game. The way the 3pt shot is used today actually is hurting the game.

Growing up near Boston in the 80’s, the rivalry with the Lakers was INSANE. Went to a game at the old Garden for my 12th birthday and it’s such a great memory.

Congrats on the new baby. Welcome to the world little one!

glad to see you young uns getting an appreciation for the birdman... the 'fractured' cheek return, domination what sealed the moniker "Larry Legend" regardless what team you were a fan of, you had to respect that.

Yooooo, that calculations ish had me loling for real. There are some passing highlight vids of LB that I'm sure you would love, and be hilarious for the rest of us because you will lose your mind. Also, dude was a career double-double 24, 10, 6.5 ast. Pull up his ish on basketball reference. He had a six year run you can put up against anyone. The man was all across the scoresheet every night. There isn't even a discussion about top 10, he's in. The argument is really top 5 when you really break it down.

After he retired he became coach of the year and then later executive of the year. No one else has done that.
