I am a 52 year-old female, and let me tell you, I LOVE Larry Bird. He is my all-time favorite player!! I am so blessed that I got to see him in real-time. My 18 year-old son was a non-believer (when he was in elementary school) until he watched a Larry Bird documentary. I miss the old days of basketball. EVERYONE was great. They played hard and they didn't bounce from team to team. Win or lose, they did it with their own teams. By the way, the Hawks' coach was so upset with his players on the bench because they kept celebrating every time Bird scored. Man, those were good times!!

David Robinson did (No of course he's not better than Larry Bird). But in 1988-89 the Spurs won 21 games. The next year, D Robinson's rookie year, the Spurs won 56 games. He was the only major superstar addition. Also the Spurs again in Tim Duncan's rookie year went from 20 to 56 (but they "added" David Robinson again because he missed so many games the year before Duncan.) The Celtics again also went from 24 to 66 wins but they added the Big 3 so that's a bit different.

She is definitely not "discovering" Larry Bird in this video. First she just happens to call him a "legend" after only looking at the Wikipedia page. Also, some of the little things she reacts to while watching the video are not things that would stand out to someone who is so new to basketball that they don't even know Larry Bird. Then, after watching a couple minutes of the highlights she is like _"You know, I could totally be wrong about this, but it just feels like he has a special presence and he is just, like, the leader of his team. I mean I could totally be wrong, guys, but, like, that's just what it feels like to me."_ Sorry dude. You've been had. Not to rain on your parade, but this is clearly an act. She is cute, though.

I like that you went over his stats before watching the video! You're the first I have seen do that. Made you seem more serious about it. Reaction videos are about the journey the create takes, and researching the subject shows true interest, which causes honest reactions. A lot of people in reaction videos often seem uninterested, closed minded, and\or more interested in how their viewers feel. I have watched this video many times. When I watched it out of my own interest, I didn't watch someone react to it. Now I like seeing people discover how talented he was. I was a fan already, but despite that I was ignorant to just how good he really was. Seeing others feel that same sense of wonder, and amazement is kind of like if you saw a ufo, and then someone else confirmed, that what you saw was real.

Bird Magic saved basketball b/cause...they LED their teams in an era when players would rather look "pretty" than win. A favorite saying in the late 70s-early 80s was, "Nothing in MY contract about winning! Ironic, too, since most of the prima donnas were calling Pistol Pete a "showboat! Finally, they put the NBA on TV by merging "black" basketball with "white" basketball; Showtime vs. Blue collar entertainment. In the 90's, guys like Jordan and Barkley nearly reversed that. AND, Jordan never won anything w/out Scottie Pippin. And for the MJ worshippers out there, I'm note " hatin' on Jordan." Just stating the facts you all were too young to remember. (Or just don't want to! Ghostbuster.

But one day he opened up, got very serious, and said that Bird is so much better than most people realize. He stunned his teammates every day in practice. And then, with awe in his voice he said "Larry Bird is almost as good as he thinks he is."

the thing with bird is that he was an off ball dominant player. He was the perfect teammate to play with. You can be a ball hog and he'll still get his buckets, assist and rebounds. That's an extremely rare quality in players. He's the type that when he gets triple doubles, it comes natural. There's no intention involved.

The main reason I have Bird ahead of Lebron, didn't need to have the ball everytime. They need to have the others have the ball to run the play and to make them more comfortable. I also think this is the main reason why lebron can't win a chip. Now that he have a better team( Cleveland has more talent offensively but LA is more of a complete Team) in LA, he needs to learn how to play off ball. If LBJ did learns it, even Kawhi wouldn't be able to stop him, can only slow him.

He paid attention to the location of every player, on both teams, whether they had the ball or not. He had that ability to track the game just a second or two into the future. Those no-look passes weren't no look at all, it was just 2 seconds ago that he did the looking. It's not unlike how NFL plays are run. Anticipation is a huge part of the game, but in football you're running 1 or 2 plays a minute, and it's something that you've practiced a thousand times. When a player like Bird is "on," they have that same kind of anticipatory skill running the whole time, and it's all improvised. Magic did it too. Having Bird and Magic on the floor at the same time is like watching wizards dual. You can hardly believe what you're seeing. None of it should be possible, but it's right in front of your face. It's an overused word, but in this case I stand by it: it's athletic genius.

Ms. Allure: The fascinating thing about his "jersey retirement" is that it wasn't done before, after, or during halftime of a game. It was an entire retirement ceremony during the team's off night, and it was a sold-out event. In my opinion, Larry was the greatest "all-around" player to ever play, and he spent over half of his career with a structurally damaged back injury that would have retired most players. Also, Larry won the 3 pt contest for 3 consecutive years, 86-88. In the 88 contest, Larry didn't even take off his warm-up top as you may have noticed in the video.

The stats are up but that's because they have made it an all-offensive game because the players (almost all) couldn't play under the older rules. Argue if you want but true ballers know the truth.

Bird played Magic in the NCAA Finals in 1979 and both entered the NBA together in 1979-80 and it was ON!! The NBA was on fire!! In the 80’s, the Eastern Conference was PHYSICAL!!! They (Celtics, 76’ers, Pistons, Bulls, Knick’s & Pacers) took turns beating each other up. Research “the Jordan Rules”. While we were spoiled in LA. The Lakers reached the finals 9 times in 12 years winning 5. Lakers won 2 of 3 vs Celtics, 2 of 3 from 76’ers and 1 of 2 from Pistons. EVERY series was epic!!

Who did LAL have to play in corresponding western semis and finals???? 5th seed Golden State and SEVENTH SEED SEATTLE!!!! Both 2nd seed Dallas and 3rd seed Portland were playing golf AFTER FIRST ROUND UPSETS. CBS analyst Tommy Heinsohn accurately portrayed the Lakers as shiny new Jaguar cars.

If Bird played today, he would double his points and assists due to the new league rules. You sneeze on someone, it's a foul, Bird would've eaten this crop of players up. his mental toughness is way above anyone else, people talk about Kobe but, when Kobe played, his first 3 chips were against weak opponents, besides the Kings but, that series was marred by shady refs. @Allure Vision, check out Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals if you haven't seen it yet

Love watching a new generation of NBA fan. My dad took me to the 1979 Final Four when I was 9 featuring Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. My entire adolescence I had a poster of Magic and Bird right next to each other on my basement bedroom wall. Consider that pre 1979 NBA was virtually dead. I remember 78-79 finals Bullets/Sonics was tape delayed after the 10 o'clock news. You had Boston Green and Showtime Lakers that launched the game to a global level. Sadly, Dr. J gets lost in the mix. His 70s and 80s Sixers were unbelievable. I now coach my boys now and I make them watch Bird, Magic, Dr. J, Isiah Thomas, Gary Payton, Joe Dumars, Bernard King (Knicks), Tom Chambers, Dennis Johnson, the 80s are the decade if you want to learn how to play basketball. The greats of the 90s, Jordan came into his own, Kobe popped on the scene, Stockton/Malone, the Hakeem Rockets, Barkley, Shaq, Penny, Steve Kerr. Basketball is so great, worked so hard it, got me through college financially watching and trying to do what all these guys did. There were so many great players, no touch fouls, hand checking legal, wasn't about looking ripped but ripping the net.

Larry had an amazing sense of every move on the court by everyone. I had the privilege of seeing him at The Garden when I was a boy 3 or 4 times. Watched the warmup on the floor and couldn't believe how tall those guys were. Except Tiny Archibald (an awesome player in his own right). If Larry's back held up he would have dominated a few more years. Likely from all the floor he ate going for the ball.

He hurt his back shoveling gravel when he was building a new driveway for his mom. He was down-to-earth regular guy in Indiana during the off-seasons who bv once said if he didn't play professional basketball he would be working on a garbage truck which he did after he dropped out of the Indiana University before he went back to college at Indiana State.

Larry bird once fell down during the third quarter of a major game and broke his eyesocket and had a concussion and had to leave the game but as he was sitting in the locker room watching the game on TV he saw that his team was starting to lose and lose badly so he sucked up the pain took the patch off of his eye went back out and won the game for his team that is a player with true heart and talent something other players know little about

@Butch Jones Lebron is a BEAST!!! Don't get me wrong. As far as athleticism goes, he's the best to do it! A forward who can move like a guard? That's insane! But here where they differ. Bird had something Lebron doesn't. And it's not something you can teach. He had heart. You can't teach heart. Bird not just had the physical gifts, he knew how to break you mentally. Talk you out of the game. And when it was clutch time, Bird CRAVED the last shot. He wanted to be the one to stick that dagger in and wouldn't have it any other way. Lebron has far too often looked too a teammate to close out the game. And he simply lacks that killer instinct needed to make opponents fear him like the feared Bird/Jordan. Lebron is definitely top 3-5 all time. The stats say Lebron is better. But after watching the careers of both, my eye test tells a different story.

@@darealliljable Exactly. Plus, Bird and Magic's style of play and their rivalry is what made the NBA a big deal. They weren't really doing that well as a business until they came along and took the game to the next level. Then Jordan came along a few years later and made the NBA a global phenomenon. This is what GREAT players do. They add something to the game. Change the way it's played AND enjoyed. I can't really say that Lebron added anything to the game
