Now, I was definitely a Celtics/Bird fan. But when Magic tells stories about he and Larry, I pay close attention because Magic was not only the enemy on the court, but he was also a phenomenal player and a class act. And for that, he had my respect. Bird and Johnson saved the NBA.

Larry Legend. The baddest white boy ever to hit the hardwood

Bird either broke a player down, or forced an opponent to be a better player, & it was the strength of the player, which way they were affected.......that was just a part of who Bird was 😊 Enjoyed your reaction!!! Thanks!

I miss those days 😢

Bird was a totally unique and different kinda cat. Great vid bro.

There never will be another Bird! There are players out there that have some of Larry Birds playing attributes but only some. Great react...Bird deserves the love & respect! There are damn few players out there that can back up their trash talk and Larry Bird always backed up his!

It appears that Larry has maneuvered his way into your heart as masterfully as he handled a basketball. 🏀 😂We fans are diehard.

For sure, their friendship is the real deal. #Friendship goals :) and WELCOME BACK!

Great video - As always! Bird was a different animal. I never was big into basketball and only started when Jordan started playing - so I never saw Bird in his prime and he was pretty rough from his back injury by then. But my grandparents were always Celtics fans. I never understood the hype behind Bird. I am so happy I took the time to look back in recent years to find out how phenomenal he truly was. Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron get all the hype and flash, but Bird (and Magic) were truly different.

First thanks for the reaction and he is my GOAT as well. Cheers to you my brother.

That is that real shit. I watched both of thier entire careers. I was a strong Bird fan but had a love hate feeling for Magic. He was the rival but i respect the hell out of that man

The real GOAT right there.

I love you Magic....What are real gentleman 💗

Larry Legend is the GOAT 🐐

I loved that king great reaction, I wish the best for you in 2024 and beyond ty king❤

What's up dude? Dropping way too many videos at once. 😂 Bird was the best. "The Opaque One." He destroyed all and earned everyone's respect. The greatest trash talker ever, bar none.

Great reaction.

A great web site !!! Keep up your good work !!!

So this may be an ignorant question - Has anyone in the history of basketball ever had the opponent team cheering them during the game?

King, who's the *Goat 🐐 of Basketball 🏀???* Just a suggestion, here are 8 great videos that make suggestions to who is the greatest. Of course everyone is going to have their opinion/favorite. So that you don't have to track them down. All 8 of these videos are great and about 3 years old. Lebron has the most views and Larry Bird is 2nd out of the list👇. I personally enjoyed Larry Birds the most. Not only is he in the conversation of who's the goat 🐐. He won Gold 🥇 *(with his NBA Rivals like Magic and MJ)* at the Olympics, became a Head Coach, then went upstairs to the Head Office.... running everything!! Larry's GENUINE friendship with Magic Johnson was awesome to see, on and off the court. Oh yeah, Larry also had *Rookie of the Year* as well 😎 *"Making the Case"* by Clayton Crowley Tim Duncan; Feb 2020, 495k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9mChtOCnJ69Y5c.html Larry Bird; Feb 2020, 632k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ht6WZ7Wr1Mmsfmw.html Magic Johnson; March 2020, 304k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdZjpKSJtOC9ZZ8.html Wilt Chamberlain; April 2020, 323k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8idktSdmJ2Xd4E.html Kareem Abdul-Jabar; May 2020, 429k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msqGlZuGmbvMimQ.html Bill Russell; June 2020, 252k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja6Ea9teprWWaWQ.html Michael Jordan; July 2020, 428k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNehaMeQmdvRdoE.html Lebron James; Sept 2020, 839k 👀's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndFieZaVsMiVpYU.html "

Jordan is the Goat then magic and bird. What these youngsters or ignorant people like JJ Reddick forget is that the game backed then was so MUCH more physical. Bird fractured His cheekbone came back and dropped 27 points. Today’s game if a fingernail touches a player, the refs call a foul with the players crying and whining. LeBron sprained his ankle and He was out for two games. Jordan would average 60 points in today’s game with magic and Bird. Averaging 40. LeBron, Steph Curry and Kevin Garnett, if they played back, then would average 20 points again. Sorry, youngsters these are facts. Players today are crybabies lazy and on top of that making 10X more money, salary, wise and any player back then.
