Pat Riley said, "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I’d choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I’d take Larry Bird."

Dominique Wilkins is one of the most humble supertars in NBA history. He always credits the other players, especially his teammates, but also his opponents. He has always shown ultimate respect to Bird.

Born (1963) & raised in L.A., I lived for the Lakers & Showtime basketball. Magic was my guy & Larry Legend was the one always standing in the way. I hated the countless daggers he sunk into the hearts of Laker fans, season after season. But secretly, I wished he played for us because the guy was otherworldly on a basketball court. Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Byron, Coop, Rambis for L.A....and then there was The Chief (Robert Parrish) D.J., Larry Bird, Danny Ainge & "Coat Hanger Shoulders" McHale for Boston. You'll never see the likes of those 2 rosters or height of that rivalry, ever again. It was truly a special era to be a basketball fan.

They always show Birds passing and scoring. They never show the beating he took every night. There's a reason his career ended.

Prime Larry Bird would easily dominate todays NBA

An injured Larry Bird can still carry his team. GOAT

@michaelkimbal3262

With Larry it isn't trash.

This is another example that Larry Bird is the GOAT of the NBA.

Respect to Dominique who played an amazing game himself and has nothing but praise for Larry

As a Detroit Pistons fan Larry Bird was essential to the NBA's legend. There will never be another Larry Bird.

That's funny as hell, "What the hell are you doing?! Don't make him mad! Don't wake up the sleeping giant, let him sleep!" LOL!

My wife's Dad, Bob King, coached Bird at Indiana State University. Larry came to his funeral at UNM's Pit with Mel Daniels. He spoke and told stories poking fun at himself as a cocky kid who needed schooling and sharing how Bob was a teacher first and foremost. Larry has said was not a nice guy on court. He was the first in the gym and the last to leave. Driven to excel. It is cool to see how respected he is even today. Thanks for posting another.

Man, it's hard to think what would've happened if he didn't have back issues and cut his career short!! Such a beast!!

@nothanks3236

I grew up in Atlanta and grew up with that 80's Hawks team, went to hundreds of games. Today I can't even watch basketball, it's just not the same.

I can't believe how athletic Nique was. One of the all time greats, and a great man as well.

@MasterRoshi8974 Жыл бұрын

To think about the pain he played through since 86 and on; getting worse by the year is crazy. The will to win is what seperates greats from the good

@jeffmurray1681 Жыл бұрын

To this day that game 7 is still the best game I've ever seen. In the 4th quarter you could cut the tension with a knife. Both Nique and Bird were red hot and every basket was needed. They both hit multiple clutch shots that normally would've secured the win, but when one would score, the other would go down and match it. The crowd was going bananas.

One of my favorite Larry Bird stories involved a young player, a rookie or 2nd year guy, I'm sorry I don't remember which guy it was, but he told this story. He said he came at Bird from the blindside helping out on a double team. He was in a perfect position and he snatched the ball away from Bird. As he ran past Bird up the court, he heard Larry say, 'you little piece of shit'. The guy was thrilled that Bird took the time to call him a piece of shit, he said now I'll have something to tell my grandkids.
