Larry Bird won Rookie of the Year, MVP, NBA finals MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year. Larry Bird is basketball.

Larry learned to play from brothers who worked near his home. Larry had a near unstoppable shot and the best basketball mind that ever showed up on an NBA court.

Nobody made basketball more exciting than Bird when the game was on the line.

LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN & THE TRUE GOAT 🐐 ☘️

Great reaction to the GOAT!!!

Bird was the best trash talker.

I don't understand why so many youngins on youtube call Bird's behavior "toxic" - it's just competitiveness on the highest level.

I loved watching the Celtics-Lakers rivalry in the 1980s. Bird is one of the greatest players ever, right up there with Jordan, Lebron, and the rest. Even though he was slow and couldn’t jump very high. I think James Worthy said he would rather guard Jordan than Bird, because “Jordan will make you look slow, but Bird will make you look stupid.” Kareem said Bird’s most important muscle was between his ears. His incredible knowledge of the game, his vision of the whole court, and ball handling skills more than made up for the fact that other players were more athletic than him.

Jordan has never beat Bird in the NBA the only guy

basketball got to the point where it was too easy for larry… that’s why he started telling the plays and playing left handed.

Bird swept Jordan both times he faced him in the playoffs. Fact

There’s a video of him saying that he got a charge out of telling the other team he was going to hit the game winner and then doing it.

Yeah, Larry Bird used to tell the other players all the time exactly what he was going to do...savage.!!

Jordan would've got whooped by bird if they fought first of all. Bird was a notorious bar brawler and bird was already a great and mj was still in college. But Jordan was smart, he has said numerous times he learned everything about trash talking and the mental side of the game from bird. Remember that Jordan never beat bird in the playoffs when it counted. He didn't win anything until birds body was completely failing (even though he was still putting up all star numbers, and was two years from retiring. Bird and Michael will always be tied at #1 in my opinion. Their drive and ability to fight through anything to win in an Era where there was so much talent every single team had at least one if not more hall of famers on it was incredible to watch. And they didn't need to shop for championship teams. They made them. Period. Jordan stuck with the bulls with no talent to help for 6 years before he got his ring. LeBron had to flee to Miami to join other hall of famers to get his.

Look into the time when Bird made a player ponder suicide ! Sounds morbid , but the player himself tells the story …. Jason Williams !

It’s *your* reaction, I enjoyed your first Larry Bird video enough to come check this one out - I thought your comments were on point and showed you were paying attention. You do you, the right people will find you😻👍

Larry Legend is the G.O.A.T of trash talkers. 🏀

You are the first reactor that I've seen pick up on Bird making Chuck Person call time out. Check out "Making the Case: Wilt Chamberlain.

Bird was funny as hell bro. LOL.😂😂

I love all your honest reactions. Keep this stuff up man, you will get whats yours sooner or later.

Larry was more then this, Larry did it all ,he could do anything he wanted to ,ever game we watched he did something we were going to do talk about all week Larry was a Gift from God ,we still love ya 🐦 ❤, bball hasn't been the same since ya left for alot if us og's 💯

Jordan knew better than to fight Larry. Trust that.

Check out Larry Bird verses Michael Jordan best story ever told 🐐🐐

I enjoyed your reactions so much I have literally watched 4 videos already in the last hour and a half. You are an excellent young man you keep your head about you and you can do anything you want even if it isn't in sports. Or maybe one day you could be on ESPN as a sports commentator I could see that for you! Keep up the great work I will continue to watch your channel grow! Thank you for the entertainment and enthusiasm!

There was a time when they played like they had a set .. Now they wear thongs

A cold-blooded killer in the clutch.

The one called shot no one seems to notice is he said he was going to the same spot and kick it in. He kicked his leg and shot from one foot. He didn't just call the three, he was specific about it

Vex- If you have not already seen it, there is a video on how Jordan never beat Larry. Larry and the Celtic went undefeated in the playoffs 2 years straight against Jordan and his Bulls. Also there is a good video on how tough Larry was. Reported told a story of how he, the reporter, was getting crap from a fan I think, and Larry met him out back and laid him out.

He talked the whole game,ever game that was just bird 🐦, I grew up watching ,and going to the games bird 🐦 was unreal, he was better then an movie 🎬 ❤ #LB33 that's my 1st pick anyday he played ever second of the game, he stone cold on the court ❤ ,miss ya bird 🐦 80's and 90's bball UNREAL ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I recommend reacting to “5 times Larry Bird was injured but refused to quit,” it shows how much more impressive his career was when you know the injuries he dealt with. BTW-taking constructive criticism, ie, talking over the video, and making changes shows you pay attention to your subscribers and care about making your channel more successful. It is a reaction channel so giving your reaction is important but you paused each time you wanted to interject. Kudos to you!

Larry Bird was the coldest dude I've ever seen with that ish! He'd call his shots...& make them! Everybody always say how he is the biggest trash talker there ever was but how can it be trash talk...when your backing it up!!! When Bird got hot.... there wasn't anything anybody could do stop him!

As a rookie Larry told the veterans “I will never carry your luggage, get donuts nor do laundry “. I have never heard of a rookie doing that

Thats why they call him larry legend goat 🐐

Larry always would call his shots.. tell them what he was gonna do.. and did it. Larry grew up playing against brothers.

Bird over Jordan ! - Better shooter - Better passer - Better Rebounder - Bird 6 Jordan 0

Bird has the basketball, look out. Pretty much sums it up right there.

you the man!

Great reaction video! "Schoolshooterish" trashtalking? Amazing!

Bird loved a good fight lol

He didn't throw it. Larry actually kicked it.

RIP Chris Ford

When it mattered most...Most game-winners (last minute) of All-Time: #1) Kobe = 26 #2) Jordan = 25 #3) Bird = 23 #4) LeBron = 19 #5) Dirk = 18 When it mattered most...Most game-winners (last minute) of All-Time: #1) Kobe = 26 (in 1346 games) #2) Jordan = 25 (in 1072 games) #3) Bird. = 24 (in 897 games) #4) LeBron = 19 (in 1366 games) ... However, when it came to overall game-winners ratio per games played, here are the best of All-Time: #1) Bird = 2.67 #2) Jordan = 2.33
#3) Kobe 1.93

I actually like hearing you talking about what you are watching because otherwise I'll just watch it on my own

In the past 50 years, here are the highest Total Career Avg Stat Points (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) #1) Jordan = 44.7 #2) LeBron = 44.4 #3) Bird = 43.1 #4) Kareem = 42.9 ... many other players #17) Curry = 37.3 That's just to put things into perspective

❤

5:54 - What Brad forgets to mention is that Larry hit Dougherty's backside with the ball as he flew by, then hit the shot.

Larry grew up playing against black guys from a hotel and he was just thankful they would let him play. . Eating out after he shredded them they said we think you have what it takes to go pro! Larry said but you guys aren’t playing as tough as you can . They said we are too!

The video I posted in this comment below may be a little bias. But stats, facts, and video don’t lie…so the bias doesn’t matter. I’m not hating on MJ by no means he was hands down my favorite player growing up…but I can step back from my own bias and recognize facts. Really MJ had been in the league a good while but didn’t really become dominant until after Bird retired…coincidence?…we’ll never know. But with all Bird’s injuries the fact that he could keep up with, and get the better of a “prime” Jordan even with Pippen says a lot on its own. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob5-f9eJurq2iY0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob5-f9eJurq2iY0.html

Brad Daugherty left out that after Bird said his comment as he went flying by. Bird took the ball and hit him on the butt. And then he swished the shot. Lol. And you'd fight Bird? Jordan was 6'5" 200 lbs. Bird is 6'9 or so. 240. I'd say go for it. He'd probably be calling punches on you. Lol 😂

There is nothing toxic he's been good to be easy being out there when people think you had a Great White Hope and not athletic! Sign you are looking at the greatest ballplayer all around you'll never see another like him

Bird is one of them ppl who would had excelled at any sport.

You too young to remember ... in fact, you weren't born. But Larry Bird and Magic Johnson - their rivalry - saved the NBA from oblivion. In fact, for my all-time great team Larry Bird and Magic Johnson would be my first two choices. I just don't know which one I'd pick first.

Even Jordan was 0-6 against Bird in the playoffs and Jordan has a loosing regular season record against Bird!

First story was in the PLAYOFFS against the LAKERS of Magic, Kareem and Worthy. Btw there's a video where Worthy tells the story himself and the actual words that Larry said to him

It ain't trash talking when you do what you say you gonna do

good shit tho bro

u dont need that hoodie if u use that fire element behind u its bright af

For those that think Larry Bird was not as good as he really was. This comment is for those whom never had the chance to see him play. 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

I think he had 37 in that first game against Dominique.

Talk as much as you want Vex don't listen to these people 👍

Ditch the hoodie and let the Professional's talk ....

Calculating slow and cold fast%>

He probably knew what MJ would become so he wanted to toughen him up, so he knew what to expect in the league 🤷🏻‍♂️ or i could be reaching lol

Bird backed it up stonecold too

Check out Larry Bird verses Michael Jordan best story ever told

You should watch the documentary on the '86 Celtics and how bird and them shut Jordan down plenty

I think if you were to put your hoodie on the other way you would look much better!

Why is it trash talking? Bird told them what he was going to do before he did it, dared them to stop him, but they couldn't In the story that Byron Scott told, just remember who was on the court when Bird told them what he was going to do: Byron Scott Michael Cooper James Worthy Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Magic Johnson and with all that star power they still could not stop Bird - Just like Byron Scott said - Are you f'ing kidding me.

They dont make them like that anymore sad times

Jordan would have had his @$$ beaten to oblivion if he had fought Larry there.

I mean, what are you going to do. 🏀

fam is it fr snowing in your room or is it just that dusty

The crazy thing about Larry is he really was nowhere near the most athletic guy on the court. in a sport dominated by super athletes he somehow managed to make athleticism look like a bonus not a must have.

also- look at chuck person. Take him over Reg. (Sorry Reg)

you scuffing with the greatest NBA player ever as a college player? looooool

I know all you young guys say you fighting but that doesn’t make a difference to guys like him. He doesn’t walk away from fights. On the contrary he started a lot of them. He was 6’ 9” tall and maybe 225 pounds. And a bad attitude. You may think you fighting but it wouldn’t be much of a fight. Besides I find todays pros are really a bunch of whiners. Everybody is offended. Twittering back and forth like a bunch of little kids. Change the rules and you will get back to basketball the way it should be played. Hard and play like you don’t want them to get any points at all and the ones they do score they contested hard in your face. That’s basketball.

You've reacted to white Jesus, now try white chocolate. Jason Williams.

Larry Legend is the only one MJ never got the best of Larry Legend 6 MJ 0 Larry Legend swept MJ 2 times in the finals 🐐🐐

You're right: You talk too much, and miss some of the commentary.

As a white guy, I think it's funny when other white dudes claim Bird was the best....just because he's white lol Look, Bird was great, he's definitely in the top 10 best of all time, maybe even top 5. But the best? No way. Jordan was in a different league than Bird, way better.

hey my channel MJ never catch bird , this is the true

Larry beat Michael 6-0

trying way to hard pass

Dude get new air filters the snowing on camera Definetlt will not be a classic

Bird sayin that is actually because he’s a racist with high IQ. BUT you can’t blame him-it’s best the way he did it because it needed to be done that way for a reality check for All Players.

Talk too much

The Bird would have dribbled Jordan off the boards with his left hand while eating a Big Mac with his right.

MJ was 6’6 and 198. Larry was a legit 6’9 and 230. Jordan was not throwing hands with the Hick from French Lick

Good. Video. But. We. Couldn,t. Here. It?

Bird and Michael Jordan did scuffle.. and bird made him look stupid.. and swept Michael Jordan N the Chicago bulls two years in a row.. LARRY BIRD IS THE TRUE GOAT... So don't be hating people... Deal with it..

❤
