In most top tens today still

Should be top 5

Top 5 all time for sure Larry was a great player

Pretty sure everyone realizes how great he was. Stop staying shit like that just cause it makes you feel like you’re unique in appreciating great players, cause everyone does.

@@leo67117 calm down Mohammad. Nobody wants you to strap a bomb to your chest or anything over this 😂

His reasoning was sound, when you think about it. There was a stigma surrounding white players: slow, unatheletic, can't jump, ect. Bird had those stereotypes too, yet he was cooking every great black ball player out there. Yet teams would put a goofy white player on him? It was an insult!

@@Goldenbane 😂😂😂😂 facts brodie!!! Even called Dominique Wilkins holmes.😂😂

​@@Goldenbane Larry Legend!!

​@@Goldenbane what you mean Bird had hops, strength, speed. That why he could compete on the.highest level. He couldn't get air like Jordan or Wilkins, but he had power and could throw dunks down. Def the greatest white player ever

@@Assyrianmikey luka and jokic may pass that up. Slavs are way stronger and tougher then white Americans.

Or everyone else were honorary white men

I could ball and had a loud ass system in my car when I was in high school everybody on the courts would say I was just really really light skinned. White dudes 5-10 who could dunk and shoot were rare.

Nah he can’t be, he supported his kids.

​@@alexjones7043 Actually, Larry has a daughter he never supported. Now, if he was like you and had sex with his daughter, then you could claim him. 😁

@@alexjones7043 you’re the sane guy that says hey why are blacks racist to us … they had slaves too.

Na he’s white

@@TheRealDirtyDan94 the Slavs will pass up the great bird though. They kicked Africa’s ass out of southern Europe centuries ago. You don’t mess with those vanilla boys. The joker proved it when he hurt that dudes back for shoving him😂

Nice haha

Yes u have it

Lol 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Bill Russell behind him loving it

Check the actual video of Nolan’s speech. He has a line at the end for Larry and Magic, it’s great! My favorite coach of all time talking to two that rank in my all time favorites to watch growing up.

Magic was like, "he'll yeah, I was thinking the same thing on the court.... damn...."

Not in Los Angeles.

@@ericcleveland4248 who would want to eat in Lost Angeles? Dirty illegal aliens, homeless camps, rich entitled liberals, crime, Comifornia? Haaaaa nobody wants to go , eat, or live there

The irony of him being invited and with that name, what a death trap for anyone looking to cook him

Solid!😅

Ayye 🤣

Because Larry would be shit talking him. Larry owned Jordan in the playoffs.

@@larry2281 Their primes didn't really overlap, but I'd pay money to see that battle.

I find that hard to believe. Lol

​@@guitarsrcool4922 you also found it hard that your father would leave you. And here we are.

@dep7up that's dumb Mr deep 7up.

Whats ur top 5

I got bird at 6, but I could absolutely see top 5. MJ, Kareem, Russell, LBJ, and Magic are just hard to top.

I’m with you

​@@bobbypinkston9374 where's Kobe on that list?

@@alejandroalvarez9971 Kobe is 7, Wilt is 8, and Duncan is 9, Shaq is 10. Hakeem is arguably tied for my 10

😊

Don't forget the mighty Russell sitting behind Magic.

Man I'm a 17 yr old NBA fan from India and I'm in awe of how good Larry was he's one of the few players who mj looked up to and the way he respects him is enough to let someone know how huge of a legend bird was ,is and will be

​@@bullymaguire9100👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Cause he's white....let's face it.

@@pfft7738 Naw. Larry was an incredible player.

@@jmchavis4183 I know he was lol...but he doesn't get the recognition because hes white.

You know that's what he was thinking, damn it if I was out there we wouldn't be losing like this😂 those with some great games with the bulls Larry had great teams as the Indiana Coach, I really wanted for him to get a championship as a coach. Even though he only coach 3 years, those three years we're pretty damn awesome😊

🐐 hypeman

Is that a nickname? Shump?

Best fuckign storyteller “bro what you on?!!!”

@@thehikingbird249 iman shumpert

@@MondoRdr LMAO 🤣 I was gonna say that

Plus he won MVP, Coach of the Year & Executive of the Year

Yea but Russell played at a time where the team was full of 5'10" white boys & there wasnt even a 3pt line

@@2stroketyson79 I mean the average height in the league was 6’5 and he did have to play against Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor and Wilt just to name the top 3 in the league at that point…

​@@2stroketyson79 But Russell was known for defense and rebounding. He never was known as a great scorer. If you can win multiple MVPs based on defense and rebounding, you must be the best damn defender and rebounder out there ... BY FAR ... I don't care how many white boys there are out there.

​@@tomlawrence7751 not to discredit his greatness but MVP voting was a lil different back then

Nolan Richardson is a treasure trove and listening to him tell it is like none other! Listen to him tell his bottle collecting and cashing in story😂 had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣

@@Lazbotable tell me something I don't know!

@@Lazbotable tell me something I don't know!

💯

I remember seeing Larry bird I was saying ha makes shots like this was insane goat in my book

As if Whi te people need a f'cking "hood pass", why would any sane White person want that. We do not need your approval, if anything its you who want ours.

LOLLL

lol yeah, but not until after Bird's back broke.

Lucky sun of a $&*#+

Uhm......many of us actually do lol. We didn't just fall off a turnip truck.

I heard that one. 😅

Heardit😂

You guys are disrespecting me. How? You put a black man in our study group.

@@DanielThomasDT?

And make the shot! He wasn’t the most athletic guy but he could do what he wanted on the court

And then he’d make the shot. And then on the way back down the floor, he’d remind you that he just made the shot.

HAHA nice

😂😂

Damn man we are talking about Larry Bird not LeBron James. Why are you bringing up this quitter this 6x loser this flopper. This is why a lot of fans do not like LeBron because of fans like you. You guys are the biggest Larry Bird haters MJ hater magic haters Kobe haters Kevin Durant haters Stephen Curry haters Kareem haters James Harden haters Greek Freak haters Kawhi Leonard haters Draymond Green haters Westbrook haters

Bron was actually the announcer who kept mentioning *BIRD*

@@csgoat968 lmaooooooo

I'll be black you stay white there 🤣 ⛳

"If the game is on the line, I'd want Jordan to take the shot. If my life was on the line, I'd want Bird" -Pat Riley

Drop the words "one of" and you are absolutely correct

Lmao

Damn what was the civil war like old timer?

I remember us whiteys was killing other whiteys.Them black fellas paid good money to watch.They did not want a bar of that.But slowly we conjured them to join the party.Anything else you want to know son throw it this way.🤪🤪🤪

That's something LeBron needs to learn. He's his own best promoter which makes him his own worse enemy when he promotes himself as the GOAT. People get tired of hearing him talk about himself. Just remember the summer of bullshit before tha announcement about going to Miami. Then up 2-1 against the Mavs, the Heat loose 3 in a row when LeBron disappeared from sight.

@@tomlawrence7751 damn, I thought that it was bad when people used the word “loose” instead of “lose,” but I have never seen it used in place of “lost” before.

@MRCANTGETANAME Excuse me for misspelling a word. That happens all over social media. However both lose (my intended word) and/or lost would be perfectly acceptable in that sentence in its context. Check you rules of English grammer. They did lose 3 in a row at the time which becomes lost 3 in a row if you use past tense

@MRCANTGETANAME And I'm sorry to hear you can't figure out how to get a name. Maybe you should try hiring a lawyer to see how to accomplish this obvious long desired goal. You're like the song by America "A Horse With No Name. Just you and that poor nag.

​@@tomlawrence7751Yeah he's full of himself. Whenever you have to say you are the greatest, not only does it make you look foolish, but it shows a sign of not being very confident in yourself. I think he's way overrated myself. Great ball player yes, but just way in over his head. Michael Jordan is much better in my opinion.

Don't huh? Well tell me how many white guys went on to be superstars in the nba like bird vs the amount of black guys It's no different than if we heard a name in hockey making non stop plays. Most if not all of us would think that person would be white or foreign

Tbh, they will cook each other. Nobody on history could stop being cooked by KD on purely one on one matchup. Maybe Wilt is the closest thing.

KD wouldn't get off the bench until he fixed his fundamentals

The Beastie Boys, too.

@@kylschwartz1745 A lot of Blacks thought they were Black when we first heard them. Same with Teena Marie. The Beasties were respected.

Bobby Caldwell, watch some of the reactions online lol. They actually tried to name him best up and coming black artist and guys as white as Bird

10? Top 3,MJ, Magic, Larry

Bird #1. Period. End of discussion. Here's why: *Bird 3-0 in playoffs vs Jordan, only player to do so *Bird only one of 3 players, and last to do so, to win League most Valuable Player 3 consecutive years *Bird has record for largest one season turnaround in sports history, taking a 20+ win Celtics team to a 61 win season his rookie year; what makes that so special is that the only difference between the 2 Celtics teams was addition of Bird that led to 61 wins

Larry was the original Rock God!🏀

hahaha🤣

I think you mean Eminem is the Larry Bird of rap.

Celtic fans called him Basketball Jesus for a reason.

Top 3 Believe me. He would dominate this era 👍 Top 3 Jordan Bird Russel After this holy trinity you have Magic, Kareem Kobe LeBum and Curry

@Kaukase That's my holy trinity too. He wasn't a winner but I'd throw Wilt in as the 4th guy. He might have been the most dominant athlete of all time. The stories about Wilt from other legends are just insane.

@@Emon31415 Wilt was good, but zero winning mentality. Not like Bird, Magic, Kobe and especially Jordan. That’s why he is not in my top 10

Wilt won one less Championship than Bird. He is by far, the greatest individual player to ever play the game. Bird is the greatest team player.

@@MRCANTGETANAME Wilt won because he changed the team 🙄

“You put a WHITE guy on me?!” - Larry Legend

Nah slim shady the original Larry legend of rap

With all due respect, this is backwards.

No it wasn't. It was annoying. His delivery was terrible.

@@LorianandLothricNolan Richardson is 80+ years old, cut him some slack bruh…
