… todays game is a joke . 80’s and 90’s NBA was the real deal !

Subscribed for more Larry Bird. You are right. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is way more Larry Bird you need to check out to understand the depth of his greatness.

He won three consecutive MVP’s in an era with Magic, Kareem, the Ice Man, Moses Maloney and Dr. J among others.

I’m old and got to watch Larry in person. At least once a game he would have a highlight like one of these.

You should also know that 95 percent of the highlights you just saw were from NBA playoff games. For instance, that video of him following up the refund and transferring the ball from the right to the left hand so that he could get the ball back from under the backboard to drop in the shot, that was from the 1981 finals game against the Houston Rockets. Who else can put together a highlight reel almost exclusively from playoff games?

Larry Bird: Greatest Passer Of All Time (Re-edit with new footage), 15 minutes of passing genius. Also a good anime, assuming you haven't seen it yet, would be Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro (Dub, the sub is called Ijirinaide, Nagatoro-san).

60 point game: 61% from the field, 15 of 16 free throws, I three. He called that long three, '' Rainbow, trainers lap,'' and he did it. I'd probably jump around too. Good reaction.

Thanks for watching Larry! If you get s chance, and want to check out the history of Larry, Magic and the NBA, react to A courtship of rivals. Its long, probably need to do 3 or 4 parts, but you won't regret it. And the Birdgang will show up!

Easy top five player all time. No holes in Bird's game. React to his Greatest Passer Re-Edit video or his 60 point game against the Hawks, or his many famous trash talk video's!!

Check out Larry's passing highlights

So glad I found your channel! I love watching people discover my favorite player....IMO, 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, baseball, 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! Here are some additional links, would love to see you react to, if you haven't already 😊Amazing Assists: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMdyl9FynMnZmWQ.html Best Trash Talker: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJ15l5tpuZuogKc.html Best Passer of all time: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eauond2qubjcnoU.html Larry Bird No Choir Boy(tough side of Larry Bird) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNV5mryqvqvdcX0.html Larry's 60 point game: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7CPktyI1NeRnKM.html and Larry Bird & Magic Johnson, A courtship of rivals documentary: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l96SfNJ51qzFkWw.html *HAVE FUN* 😊Thanks!

A good 25?Dude has no clue.

Larry legend and Magic saved the NBA ❤❤

I was at the Pacers playoff game and you missed a very important point. Larry snuck past the doctor and trainer to go back out and finish the game. He did that with a concussion and a fractured right cheek bone. He returned in the third quarter and put up 32/9/7. No disrespect but today's players take a month off with a hangnail!

Great reaction and here is a link to one I think you may enjoy with some trash talking etc. Larry was the most dominate player of the 80's he won three consecutive league MVP's only the third to do it and no one since. Founder of the 50-40-90 club, one of the most clutch shooters ever, and one of the greatest passers ever. He played with so many injuries he is the toughest player ever to do it and the biggest trash talker ever. I subscribe for more Larry content. “15 NBA Legends Who Were Terrified Of Larry Bird” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJd-aMVjsK-3qYU.html

An underrated and underrepped fact. There was no game scheduled the night of Bird's retirement. Everyone was there just to see that.

Quick reminder since you think its a new era with centers bringing the ball up the court. Larry Legend was 6'10" when he was doing everything on the court while telling his competitors as he did it. LEGEND!

Subscribed. Watch more bird you will love it. Watch Larry bird greatest passer re edit. Then watch 4 crazy stories that prove Larry Bird is the toughest nba player. There are so many videos to watch. Larry bird was the ultimate teammate and the most complete player . Some of my favorite players of today are Ant, joker and Luka Curry. So fun watching newcomers discover Bird. Great reaction ❤

Larry Birds trash talk is legendary! He is the Greatest All Around BB player I've ever seen! That's the famous 60-point game bet. Celtics & the Hawks. That game is on YT ......if you want to react to it! The game when Bird fell face first...he fractured his cheekbone & had a concussion! But he came back to play & won!

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

More Bird

I will only subscribe for more Larry Bird.

Larry bird Would average a triple double right now today in 2024 in his sleep !! That man broke his cheekbone on his face and came back and lit it up !! Some of the players today break a fingernail, and they’re out for a month !! Larry bird played most of his career with a terrible back injury ! When he would come out of the game, he would have to lay on his stomach ! Because he couldn’t sit down …. Larry Bird had the heart of a lion !! I know this all too well because I became a Laker fan because of Magic Johnson. He was my favorite player always and Larry bird gave me nightmares.! by the way great reaction, young man it’s nice to see a young guy. Appreciate how good Larry Bird really was top five all-time easy.

So friend, I was born in 1960. My life has been so blessed from all the truly great athletes I have seem. Whats hard for you to realize, was the late 70's through the early 90's, we were the kids of the boomer generation. And every team had at least 2 legitimate superstars, and many had practically the whole starting lineup. It wasn't just the Lakers and Celtics. Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Denver, Houston, Atlanta, Detroit, the Knicks, Washington Bullets, Indiana, Cleveland, Philadelphia, eventually Chicago and San Antonio. Now one of the differences is that there wereabout 8-12 teams that were not in the league yet. So all the teams had legit superstars. And the competition is what elevated players like Magic, Bird, Jordan and others. And the style of ball. If you have heard the term ' no blood, no foul ' truly through the late 90's, there were regular bench clearing and fisticuffs. So this was outside playground type ball, rarely touch fouls. And right or wrong, though there was trash talking, it wasn't done in the way it is today, the Deion Sanders type making sure all the attention is on me. All these stories on Larry Bird and others, the public didn't hear any of these while they played, because there was respect for the game and for the most part respect towards each other. It was typically not done in a way to trash or clown on an opponent publicly. Not just BBALL, But I have seen the greatest golfers, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky was a magician on ice, but he was a relatively small guy against brutes, seeing the great football teams of the 70's Steelers, the 80'sGiants and 49ers, the 90's Cowboys and the Patriots after the turn of the century. The greatest tennis players and baseball players. And it now appears women's ball and Caitlyn Clark and other young women. But to be honest, they have changed rules in so many sports they are not the same game. And the players wanting all the smoke, but not dedicated like in the past. But it's all good.

Thank you for this. Larry Legend videos never get old! Lol. And there are so many. His stats even in high school were crazy good!

Larry bird might be 5he most respected player in history. And maybe the most underrated player of all time!

When he followed his shot was during the 1981 finals

Jordan and Bird. then Magic, Kareem, and then like 5 people.

I was so luck to grow up during that period!

There is not 1 player today that would play with the pain and injuries Larry Bird played with. He fell, broke his cheek bone, came back and finished the game.

his passes and shots were ridiculous, the ronaldhino of basketball. great reaction cheers.

Thanks young man for reacting to this player. I wish you could have witnessed the magic he had. There will never be another player like him. Thanks again sir

Did he just...? Yes. Yes, he did.

The games between the Celtics & Philadelphia....were brutal! It was all out war when they played!

I watched his career in real time. I have seen every highlight. I watch these reactions to see you young men learning his greatness and keeping respect on his name

During my time of basketball, 70s 80s and 90s, it was war on the court. Now days, unfortunately, it's a bunch of flowers dancing down the court dodging butterflies. Shooting for 3s.

To this day Larry Bird is still the only player to win the three-point contest three times consecutively.

Check out Larry bird's passing video

❤😂🎉Larry Legend 🌍🌎🌏

New subsctiber! Luv 80's and 90's B ball. There's a documentary called A Courtship of Rivals that's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It's about Magic and Bird, and how they became very close friends after 14 years of being rivalries. Bird and Magic are in it

Larry Bird was Magic Johnson's favorite play Plus a lot of players said Larry is the greatest Quarterback in the NBA He's top 5 passer of all time

Lots of guys talk trash, but BIRD backed it UP! These films are mostly from playoff games. He did this every game and few films exist of his regular season games.

Bird talked the talk and walked the walk . He would donate in any era.

very well done

Those 80s games was war. Some still hate each other till this day. Magic and Bird have real love and respect for each other

I was too young to see Larry Bird but my father called him a sniper , because his shot was so deadly

While attending college Larry's team was playing mine and we heard he was a future all American. During warm ups we tried to guess to guess which black player he was. Well we were wrong. He beat our league champion team and set our arena scoring record! Peace from Northern Michigan.

To my knowledge, there has never been an NBA player that told his teammates and coaches, as well as the opposing team’s players and coaches, what he was going to do AND THEN actually do it with regularity and consistency…the trash talking seemed like it was more about Larry not being afraid, impressed, or intimidated by any opposing player…he enjoyed being challenged on the court, but Bird always seemed to be playing chess while everyone else was still playing checkers…🎤🔥🦅🦉 eyes like a fierce eagle, wise like an owl…✌️

Well the hawks bench thought he was only going to get a good 25 😂

First off, great reaction. In college Bird averaged 33-13 and 4.5. The thing that the younger people don’t and can’t appreciate about Bird is he could have averaged 50 if he wanted. That’s not what Bird was about. Bird was about winning. If it meant scoring 2 points and having 20 assists and 15 rebounds to get the win that’s what he would do. If I wanted to win games I would take Bird and Kareem over anyone and I mean no disrespect to MJ at all as he is definitely so so great

Another good video is of the 1979 NCAA Final with Bird and Magic, who was only a sophomore. Bird didn't have the team Magic had, but these two then brought the NBA back to life. It was DEAD prior to these guys. If I rem correctly, Bird said "Magic is the best BB player in the world... next to me." DAMN!

Larry Legend is the GOAT 🐐 ❤️☘️

Larry is a top 3 player... And STILL the best SF ever. He's nearly 6'10"...and makes everyone better because he DEMANDS it. In today's game, with no defense allowed... He would average 40, 12, 12. And make the other team cry and run to a safe space while doing it. Make no mistake...that's John Wick on the court. 😉

I was lucky to see Larry Bird twice. Against the Bulls in 85 and the Jazz in 87

Gotta react to "Making the Case: Larry Bird " next

The whole "stretch four" position is based on larry

Larry Bird and Earvin "Magic" Johnson's final college game was against each other. Magic got the win. They entered the league the same year. They were friends from the college days on. Larry actually wanted to to go Michigan State, they denied him. So he went to Indiana State. Imagine if those two were on the same team in college.

Check out some of his trash talk videos. He was a monster.

Hey Win you look good fr I like your channel and I like you young man ty for doing these videos!!!!

You really need to watch Larry Bird. Best, passer of all time with re-edit I don't think you're aware of how fantastic of a passer he was

Magic & Legend DID NOT hate each other. When Magic was diagnosed with HIV and friends were falling away... Larry cried when he heard the news and became even closer to Magic. Watch Larry talk about Lambier. That ish is hilarious

The night of Birds retirement, WAS NOT A GAME NIGHT. THE BOSTON GARDEN SOLD OUT TO STANDING ROOM ONLY!

@12:52 when you see Magic hitting that hook shot and you presume it was the game winner. What they don't show is Larry's buzzer beater from a corner 3 that bounced out. Great reaction tho

Good stuff

You said you would watch anything so you need to watch A Courtship of Rivals.. best documentary ever on Larry and Magic Thanks!

Watch and react to Bird and Magic Courtship of Rivals. It transcends the game….

That was a pro game. 🏀🏀🏀

I liked watching you discover Bird so much, I just came back and watched this vid. again after having seen it when you first posted it. I loved watching it again...and, though, I'm surprised to see you haven't, since then, watched some of the other great Bird vids, like Larry BIrd, Greatest Passer of All Time (re-edit), and 5 Times Larry BIrd was Injured and REFUSED to Quit (or something very close to that title). I'm thinking maybe one of the reasons you moved away from Bird (I know you have lots else to watch, and a ton of other requests) is that you figured you now had some idea of his game. But guess what-- I don't think that's the case. Until, for example, you watch that passing video, you have no idea of his finesse, his creativity, his unselfishness...or the fact that he was playing more than basketball-- he was playing volleyball and football as well (you got a taste of the v-ball with those few touch passes shown in this vid.). Anyway, great reaction-- as much fun to watch the second time as it was the first-- and I hope others chime in to ask you to check out some of the other great Bird footage...and I hope we can persuade you to do it. BTW-- one last thing you may not know-- Bird went through something similar to what Caitlin Clarke is now experiencing. At least, that's how I see it...and I am expecting (and hoping) it ultimately shakes out the same way-- the way it should with every player-- with her ultimately being viewed and evaluated solely on the basis of how she plays the game and how she conducts herself.

you gonna hear it a million times, but check out Courtship of Rivals, best documentary ever, it'll tell you everything

As a pasty white guy from Boston I miss that man

IMO the most disrespectful play is the half-court behind the back pass at 9:30. Grew up late 70's and 80's and seen that way too much vs. my Bucks, as y'all seen in this vid he scorched us millions of times. 2nd place is the behind the head pass to Parrish for two hand dunk, while under his own basket. Fucking nightmares 'til the day I die.

Subbed for Bird, but here's a request to blow your mind. "Texas Flood", live at El Mocambo by the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughn. (Blues guitar goat)

A Courtship Of Rivals will explain all of it. Watch that

re: sportsmanship and trash talk and competition and all that, I know I've heard former players say that about Larry. He would talk mean trash and be a jerk to you on the court, but 99% of the time, it wasn't actually personal or anything. He was just competitive and brutally honest. He might still joke around and make cocky remarks off court, but not with any ill will behind it. He just liked that competitiveness. But you had other people in the 80s like Bill Laimbeer who played dirty, elbowed people in the face, tripped them, and kinda just tried to win games by injuring the stars on the other team. Everybody knew that's what he did, and it's obvious in a lot of the replays, but he would just talk sh** about people accusing him of being a dirty player like they were jealous of him or something but the dude was one of the dirtiest of all time. I don't think Bill Laimbeer's own teammates even liked Bill Laimbeer. Just one of those guys everybody kinda wanted to punch. So when people talked trash about Bill Laimbeer they actually meant it haha. That's at least one I know they meant it. That dude was a grade A a***ole. But usually the trash talk was just competition. Between Larry and Magic, they picked on each other relentlessly, but then they'd go eat dinner at Larry's mom's house.

You have only just scratched the surface with larry. So many bird videos to react to so you get the full story. Watch your views subs and likes shoot up my friend.

If you haven't seen the college Goat look at Pete Maravich. 44.2 ppg no 3 point line and only played 3 years!!!

Larry Bird would take today's players to school

Great reaction, man! New subscriptor from Argentina here... Hey, you MUST watch "Magic & Bird. A courtship of rivals". One of the BEST sports documentaries EVER. Really worth it..!

RIP Bill ❤❤❤

The difference is back in the '80s. They literally hated each other till their careers were over. Not till the whistle blew or the horn blew. They hated each other every minute of every season until the player retired

'Bird is the word' Ren - "Hi Ren" Nightwish- "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 Yebba - "Boomerang" live

Man didn't know all great players have one thing called ADAPTABILITY

Larry Bird's retirement ceremony, they sold out the Boston Garden on a non game night for the ceremony

Hair looks nice

🙂👍🔥🏀

Aside from basketball, of which, keep doing the deep dive into the 80's and 90's. You will be surprised. I am recommending some documentary films. 1. Religulous. 2. The King of Kong: A fistful of Quarters 3. Sicko 4. The People vs John Lennon 5. Hot Coffee 6. Capitalism: A Love Story 7. Nintendo Quest 8. Super High Me 9. The Aristocrats 10. Fahrenheit 9/11

yes.. check another Larry story.. "Jamal Mashburn tells a Larry Bird story"

Bird is easily the goat. No cap.

Check out “5 times Larry Bird played hurt”

Tom Macdonald god mode

When bird broke his orbital bone he was seeing double for a few days to a week. He beat the Pacers seeing double.

Mike Tyson greatest knockouts!! React please! Mad love from Oklahoma!!

I feel like the previous post is right. You had to be tough to play old school basketball, and I don't even watch basketball anymore. Bird was a funny guy

Back when basketball was watchable.

You're taking someone's lady... you can't even take a hint 😂😂😂😂

Also was a bigger boy, so a better than average interior defender.... he was complete

These boys also have few peers... they're the best... would make sense to be boys with magic, bc who else is your peer?

Great reaction my man. Can you react to Michael Jordan's historic bulls mixtape made by the NBA?

Making The Case for Bird :)
