I'll never get tired of Larry Bird's trash talk stories, it's like watching a hollywood movie

"the Hick from French Lick" 😂. Larry Legend

Larry was a master of trash talking but the fact that he could back it up with blazing hot form spoke volumes about just how great a player he was 🏀👍😄🏀

One of the greatest, Larry had all the skill, offense, defense, assists, rebounds And all about making everyone better around him a true team player and leader. A three-time MVP!

Larry Bird has always been my favorite player! I loved to watch him play when I was younger and I was a Big Boston fan.

Larry is top 3 and possibly the most intelligent player ever. He made everyone else better around him ...a true Legend.

I was a lucky kid to have been at many Celtics games in the Bird era. My brother and I still talk about it. The C's looked like factory workers and played like the Harlem Globetrotters. And Larry didn't just call the plays when they were up. He'd tell em' what he was gonna do with the game on the line. He talked to coaches and even the ref's. We were in the fifth row and a lot of times we could hear him. We knew we were watching something special. So did his opponents.

"Magic Johnson fed Larry Bird the ball...." has to be one of the most intimidating and terrifying sentences ever spoken in all of basketball.

The reason Larry Bird was such a great trash talker was that he was the most intelligent player on the court. He was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers. And he did it with no malice or anger or any resentment, it was pyschological warfare, and Larry Bird was master of it. Everyone knows about his success as a player, but let's not forget he was fantastic coach and executive as well. He is the only person in the history of the NBA to be named Rookie of the Year, NBA MVP (3 in a row), Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year with the Indiana Pacers organization. He was the single smartest person ever to play in the NBA. And all of this in an injury-shortened career, where he performed his magic in such a physical condition that he had to lie down next to the bench, in airline aisles and many other places because his back was so bad. He also sat out an entire year because of bone spur surgery on both feet. If he had played his career at the peak of health, who knows how many records he would have set. And though you cannot name a single GOAT in the NBA because of the difference in the different eras, Larry Bird could have played in any era, along with such greats as Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Jerry West, Oscar Roberston, Elgin Baylor and quite a few others. They would dominate in today's game, because it's no longer a team game, it's all about individual statistics. And 75% of today's players are not mature enough to handle tough AND smart players of their caliber.

Isn’t it amazing how it’s often the quietest & most un-assuming people you meet are often the ones who can inflict the most damage on you mentally??? 🤪🤪🤪

That’s why they call him Larry Legend

My freshman year at Indiana State was Bird's Senior year , it was amazing until the last game....he was incredible on the floor !!!

Bird is the first man on my NBA roster!

Larry Bird was the most complete basketball player ever. EVER. He didn't have the graceful athleticism but he didn't need it. Tough as nails he did everything else on the court and was almost otherworldly. Unbelievable passer, shooter and rebounder. He talked trash but he backed it up. Bird also had the intangibles and the killer instinct and would destroy opponents and dominate in today's game. He was also one of the smartest players ever on the court and would be thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead. Bird is All-Time starting 5 forever.

I sure miss those days. Greatest era of the NBA

There was this one player that was absolutely ripped, muscles head to toe, and Larry just walked up to him and said, "those muscles won't help you tonight." Every time Larry hit a shot on the guy, he would say, "muscles."

My favorite player of all time, walked the walk man.

Magic passes to Bird....................................Already the greatest team ever.

This is the generation of basketball that I grew up watching and IMHO was the greatest era of the NBA, so many NBA legends and Hall of Famers played during the '80's and '90's. The Celtics/Lakers rivalry of the '80's is still one of greatest rivalries in sports history. 👍✌️

If you came up watching Bird, Magic, Jordan, Penny etc 🙋🏻 we had it good.

Worthy said "Jordan will make you look slow, but Bird would make you look stupid" 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.

This is one of the reasons it was such a joy to watch Larry and the Celtics and magic with the "Showtime" Lakers in the eighties! Grateful to have been able to be witness to all that!

I only have 1 favorite thing my entire life. Not food, drink, color, song, or movie. However, I been watching Larry since 1980. He's my only favorite. He holds all the credentials.

That " feel like 43 tonight story" was one steal away from a quadruple double, but wouldn't go back in to get it, "naw I've done enough damage tonight"

There’s a interview out there where Gary Payton tells a Larry bird story ! Proof Bird is the biggest trash talker in NBA history ! And Bird is the real GOAT !

I was never into basketball, but everyone knows Larry Bird, and now I know a bit more, great story!

The Legend...

Reggie Miller was a next-level trash talker, and his story of Larry shutting him up is iconic.

LARRY WAS A STRAIGHT UP KILLA!

Well there ya go! Why isn't there an award for best trash talker of all time!!

I grew up in the Boston area in the 80's, and I can't stress enough how huge the Celtics/Lakers rivalry was. Bird is definitely top 5 of all time.

Bird is the G.O.A.T of trash talkers. 😎

Larry was something else. You have to be so confident to talk the way he does! Love your reaction! 😄

Love the Bird Turd! Always have. 61 years of age and loving this video as well as others of yours. Thanks 👍. Always fun watching the Bird.

LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN & THE TRUE GOAT 🐐 ☘️

Thanks J. The Eddie Johnson Bird story may be the best ever. Great storryteller.

Bird had that 30-12-10-9 steals 2 blocks game--the near coveted quad-double in 1985, in 31 minutes in 3 quarters--they were beating the Jazz so bad he didn't bother coming out in the 4th quarter--don't ever call him a stat-padder. He dominated guys when he was a rookie, and even later on with a demolished back from '86 on until retirement in '93, bone spurs in both ankles in '89, and double achilles tendonitis. His game was most complete. Most people forgot he made multiple all-NBA Defensive 2nd Teams and even led the league in defensive win-shares one season--don't EVER say Bird can't play defense. He broke up more 2 on 1s and 3 on 1s on the break than anybody. He could beat you any which way. The REAL GOAT.

You just know that 🤣 his teammates were having a Good Laugh setting up the Rookie like that just to see how he's going to react. Great Story...

Eddie Johnson is my favorite story and his delivery so genuinely hilarious

GREAT REACTION MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING YOUR MUSIC VIDEO REACTIONS FOR WELL OVER A YEAR ESPECIALLY YOUR CHRIS STAPLETON REACTIONS......... LARRY LEGEND IS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED BY TODAY'S YOUNG'UNS IT IS BEYOND LUDICROUS. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL I CAN SAY IS KEEP EDUCATING EVERYBODY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing that games on TV don't give you is all the talking out on the floor - games at the Garden had us both cheering and laughing constantly.

Larry wasn't savage to rookies. He just made them know that he had the experience, they didn't!

Today's players are VERY fortunate to not be playing against Larry. On the other hand, he made other players better by schooling them.

good one brother! "I can do it and stay in the game" classic

One of the many things I love about Bird is he doesn't have racist bone in his body. He gave shit to everybody

You seem to be a solid dude, salute.

Great video. Had a story I hadn't heard. Bird is the GOAT. Even if the opposite teams fans hated him you know good and well they were wondering what amazing play he was going to do next.

As a celtics fan growing up in the 80s we all knew of Larry and his trash talking, we got a second dose of legendary trash talking when Kevin Garnett showed up in 2007...two of the greatest wearing celtic green is tremendous

Undisputed no.1 is when he promised Chuck Person, who was not playing, he was going to give him a Christmas present (it was apparently a Christmas night game) and after scoring went by the bench and told him "Merry fucking Christmas!"

"That don't matter. It's the fact that I can do it...and stay in the game" might be the greatest trash talk in history.

Gary Payton talks about Bird trash talking him,great stories.

Don't forget, the Twitter bird is named after Larry Legend

Difference between Bird and Payton was that Payton was loud and obvious, Bird was quiet and subtle about it.

Man, what’s crazy to me is these guys that Larry Legend punked were NBA superstars- Wilkins, Kemp, Clyde The Glide (one of my all-time favorites) and Bird had his way, anyway! I’ve heard multiple guys say that Larry told them exactly what he was going to do against them, and he always came through! One of my favorites, though, my all-time favorite coach, Nolan Richardson (coached my Hogs to a championship) was when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. I won’t link it, in case that gets blocked. However, the video is by some channel called TheSmoothToad, short video. Coach Richardson tells the hilarious story of the first time he heard of Larry Bird, during his own induction speech! Sorry if you’ve seen it. If not, very much worth the watch! As always, thanks for the great video, good sir!

Gary Payton has a story about Bird, being the greatest trash talker.

The one thing people don’t realize is how good Larry’s defense was. In today’s analytics Bird is in the top 50 all time defensively

I'm a diehard Lakers fan, and I will say it, Bird was the fuckin best!!

Love the mention of Gary P .

Cedric ceballos was thrilled to meet magic before a game who was very friendly as usual but when he went introduced himself bird for first time bird ignored him and just asked coach Paul Westphal if he was really going to put this fucking rookie on me haha

There is a video of Bird explaining when a coach said "you hv the green light, when you want to takeover the game you can" Bird sags "thst green light has been on every since"

No player in NBA history has half the great stories as Larry Legend does

Magic wanted one thing And that was to be friends with Bird who wouldn’t have any of with it until they did that Nike commercial where Larry met Irvin and they became friends for life-two of the greatest and probably the greatest rivalry since the Stilt and Russell!

Been watching nba since 78 , there are 4 straight up killers , guy that make you want to go quit and sell insurance, in no particular order it’s Mike Kobe Larry and magic

Nice channel man. You do a great job. Thanks for this great video and thanks for bringing to light in my opinion the greatest basketball player to play. I say that in accordance to his abilities and could basically do anything and be great at it according to basketball. True dynamic genius and there will never be another. #LarryLegend #GOAT

Sweet Big J!!!

Thanks Jamel, I have never saw this video. Oh by the way i was at the 1979 NCAA finals game, Magic vs Bird . I live all my life in Michigan but dam, Larry Bird is AMAZING

Love the gear!

Your channel has become one of my faves, thank you brobeans 🤟♥️

Jamel, have you been sick? Been sick here 🤧 Wish I would have paid more attention to Bird.

Wilkins was badass. I think the rest of the story that isn't shown here is that Bird did end up saying something like "I like you, rook. You got heart". Which apparently is about as complimentary as Bird ever got on the court.

Such a funny video. Thx Man. Love that hoodie.

10:25 Clyde Drexler was as smooth as lake water on a windless day.

Yes I'm from Boston ok. Larry Bird was good on the court. Off the court he came to the Boston YMCA on Huntington Ave. He wouldn't even talk to the kids or sign autographs ok. The kids were very disappointed 😮

Hearing what Gary Payton said about bird was flat out gold

Bird wanted to be the best and he was. None better.

Don’t poke the bear.

Jamal. So good to see you again. Your Bro.

Having been a Celts fan since the late 50s, I have had the privilege of watching many outstanding players, but Bird was on a totally different level when it came to clutch and passion. He earned the nickname Larry LEGEND every single time he stepped on the court.

Larry Legend, allegedly, would play lefty just cause he could. I hope Indy basketball is coming back. IU and Purdue are on the rise

Bird #1

Quoting a comment I read that is absolute truth: "Magic Johnson fed Larry Bird the ball probably about 8 times downcourt." Scariest sentence in basketball.

Larry was a bad man

Tweet tweet ....go have a seat 😂😂😂

There has never been a player with a bigger mouth and the basketball IQ to back it up. Bird was a trash-talking Jedi on the hardwood.

Great channel!

There are 3 Gary Peyton videos of him confessing who the absolute greatest trash talker of all time was. Larry Legend

Your content is really good !

#birdgang 💚🐐🍀

Thanks!

My 🐐

If Larry Legend was in his prime today, he would tell one of these new school kiddos, hey, you see that corner over there, I'm shooting a three on you there, then I'm gonna steal the in bounds pass and score again. When the timeout gets called, I am going to ask you, are you ready for what happens next?

people also forgrt, his hands were already mangled before he ever went pro, Imagine if he had that same feel of the basketball he did before that

About Gary Payton - as much as a trash talker Payton was, Payton himself said Bird was the best trash talker ever. Loves him some Bird.

Thank goodness for uTube, not only people know how good the hick from the lick was. Stats don’t mean anything because of players longevity-The Pistol & Bird are simply the best ever. Without uTube. People would of not known how great the Pistol really was-a good man but had many demons! Watching him spin the ball made me the man I’m today I tried spinning that ball on my finger for hours! Failure after failure until hours maybe 8 I did it made me probably the best players in the state. Was the finalist for the old dribble & shoot sponsored by Coca Cola-choked by hitting the signs with curricular metal bases -I was used to chairs and I cut too close and that was it- I thought? At the shooting I hit every shot out of anger only lost by a few points the opponent and the fans went crazy as I hit every shot swish but it wasn’t enough! 10k first prize I got 2500$ But I should of practiced the dribbling but was so mesmerized being on the court I just shot! The Pistol do a video on him especially his homework basketball which should be taught to every player from little league to pro-it shoes you the fundamentals that could of made me a great player but I was only 5”11” and went in to play Golf-last name is Simpson you may know me! Good video-do a pistol!

Basketball today is an entertainment sport

Payton would talk to HIMSELF if there wasn't anybody there (true story). Even Payton says Bird talked more trash and better than him. Payton was just vicious with his stuff. He'd talk about you, your game, your momma, it didn't matter to him AT ALL!!!

Savage

To Jamal, if you check through the NBA trash talk videos on Larry you will find where Gary Payton will tell a story where his rookie year Bird did it to him as well.

Thanks for the heads up. Back then Larry Bird would Welcome the Young Bucks to the Association and it was not pretty. Especially on Live T.V.
