Hey!! It’s wonderful when a younger person like you recognizes greatness in a long-gone era. Keep up the good work!

"Hurry up! Before they realize no one's guarding me! LMAO

Great fan-work young man. Larry was already a legend by 1981 though.

Goat.period.

Thanks for the memories. Larry Legend lives on in our memories. The most watched and exciting games ever. I would rather watch his reruns win or loose than anything today. Today seems a boring game.

Already activated killer mode that's a great one this kid he's got a future in broadcast calling this shot by shot very well very posed in his voice good kid! Great job with this video enjoyed watching it very much a blind person for the absorbed everything he was saying very well he was it would have been like they were watching the game he was saying it that good keep doing what you do kid!

More Larry Bird stories! 👍👍👍👍

I was at that game it was fabulous!You just can't say enough about Bird.I would go every year to see & root for Boston& Bird & they would win every time.☺😆

One significant event in Larry's life as to why he quit Indiana and Bobby Knight. First, he was in an environment that was to large. His hometown of French Lick had 2,000 population. Larry had been very quiet and was teased for not speaking up. Then he reached that gangly, body type before reaching six feet, nine inches. There were six siblings and they were very poor. His father was his best friend. Most did odd jobs around the neighborhood and helped the family. Larry *idolized* his father who did father/son activities with him like fishing and watched and encouraged his ball playing. He practiced with him on basketball courts. But his dad was also an alcoholic. They tinkered with small motors and repaired lawn mowers, etc. His parents were broken up and his mother by then had to work two jobs to help get food on the table. His dad had a very spotty child support going on. Many don't know why Bird went to French Lick after quitting college and I've never seen it mentioned. Larry got a phone call from his mom to tell him that his dad was dead. He had been drunk and called her saying he was a worthless husband and father who couldn't support his children. Sometimes the typical talk of you'd be better w/o me. Her words to change his mind didn't work. He hung up and shot himself in the head. Larry's world was now confused and he just felt he needed to go home. He even drove a garbage truck to get money for his mom. When it was time to go back it sure wasn't going to a large Indiana team. And the legend started. In order to appreciate Larry's talent one must realize the GREAT NUMBER OF HOURS that Bird practiced. He would mark out every angle down to the three point lane and land baskets. Or kept trying. Teammates were sometimes stunned after a loss, Bird would go out and see what the area was, zone, pivot and make the basket with He also said "I'm not paid to play up until the five minutes of the game. I'm paid for one second left in the game."

Great video ! I live in Massachusetts and am a avid Celtics fan. I went to the old Boston Garden and seen many games with Larry legend playing. vs Pistons, Lakers (Magic and crew) Bulls (Michael) etc. We always got our moneys worth with Bird playing

My second favorite player of ALL-TIME...being a SHOWTIME LAKER fanatic..you know MAGIC is my favorite...but nothing but RESPECT and ADMIRATION for the BIRDMAN🔥💯

Good stuff. I watched the NBA non stop through the 80's and 90's and it was amazing.

Nice work. Go Celtics Bird 🐐

I remember those games. Bird the greatest player ever.

Listen who ever just put that video together and spit like that, making me feel as hype as a freestyle and getting into details others leave out. Thank you, your great and everything you do will probably be sucessful, literally my favorite speaker on Larry Bird and probably would be Larry's as well.

Larry was trouble for his opponents and he enjoyed it. You got to love Larry Legend! 😂

I stopped watching NBA after bird left. He was a damn legend.

Nice job kid but you got some players confused.

That game winner was so tightly contested you just didn't see it coming. It's crazy

Very well done, Very easy to listen to. It was amazing being a Celtic fan!

Who is this young Bird historian?!! Well done!!--he is the GOAT! I believe the legend behind the reason why Bird used his left hand is that he had hit a guy out back of the bar one night in Boston. He was sticking up for a friend who got into it with some guy and Bird went out back to fight him. He hit him (I think he dropped the guy with one punch) and messed his wrist up for a little while--TRUE story. I think he may have had a broken hand at another point in his career and both times he played through the pain. He has played with broken hand, broken eye-orbital bone, broken vertebrae in his back, bone spurs in both ankles, achilles tendonitis in both ankles, and herniated disc. Check out his near quadruple-double (30pt-12reb-10ast-9stl-2blk game) in 31 minutes at Utah in 1985!

You got anybody on that bench who can guard ne? Frank Layden- No

Very well presented & great commentary mate, earned my sub

Awesome man, put together really well!

Loved your vid! 🤙

Great job kid! Keep it up! I love the crowd eruption! That was good. Haha

Alright someone in the comment section pointed out that it was Danny Ainge who got stripped of the ball, not Mchale. Also, some clips I showed were of Larry Bird using his right hand because they were less blurry than others with his left. That's my b I'll try not to make mistakes like that in the future. Anyway have a great day and enjoy the video!!!

Lovely stuff, coming all the way from London! Keep up the good work bro!

One of the top 3 I ever saw play the game of basketball. If I wanted to start a team from scratch I would want Larry Bird to start the process. Whether player or coach or even General Manager. The greatest basketball mind that ever lived. Him and Red were one of the matches made in Heaven

Sounds like a kid.!! You go.! Bird was the man..

Enjoyed this thank you Please make more videos on Larry

Larry bird was the smartest ball player in history. Pete marovich was 2nd

Great man everyone comparing Luka to Bird without 60 pt game or 47/11/14 type performance.

Impressive video and great narration skills!

Amazing Video dude!

Larry a legend because he’s a top scorer and a clutch player

Good job young man … you are talented. 👍👍👍👍👍

Good job, you’re going to be successful if you keep working.

Hey, you got 100 subscribers!!! Nice bro! My favorite video so far!

OK, first of all.... he was Larry Legend long before this game. I'd also like to point out that Portland was the ONLY team to beat the Celtics at home that year, so personally I think Larry did the whole left hand thing for revenge and humiliation. Don't mess with Bird

great commentary and footage.

AFTER THE LEFT HAND LAYUP,HE MADE A "RIGHTHANDED DUNK"!

Well done - great job!

You're doing great kid.

I believe this young man has a future in sportscasting.

Greatest SF ever

Great video!!! So many good vids!

Good job calling the action!

@2:25 Wedman! Its funny how Bird referred to Wedman as the sharp shooter on the team!

awesome job! just subbed. LB33 4Life #1 GOAT

"I should've quit right there"

I'll take Bird and Russell to start my team...

Bird might not be widely consider as the GOAT, I think he is

Good stuff

who cares that the kid made errors it a good video and great effort and Bird will be the 2nd greatest to play the game all time in about 5 years from now

The bird!!!!

You can say what you want but I think he was the best all around player ever in the sport just my opinion

Good job buddy

1:55 2:06 Right hand. But he said for the most part he’d use his left. Good job kid!

you can say whatever you want Larry Bird was one hellava basketball player !!

Very well done 👍

that was fun,,,,,,,,,,,,,I lived through this era i was playing ball 4x a week ,, and tv access was pretty limited in those days,,,, but thanks to you tube I have spent the last ten yrs seeing a lot I missed at the time,, by the way my friend, you made a small mistake you said Mchale threw away got his pass stolen,, but it was not Kevin it was Danny Ainge,,,,,,,,,, by the way,,,, I remember a couple of years when Ainge hit s many big time clutch three's as Bird,,,,,,, they were both awesome , but I feel Ainge never got his due

1:55 "then a left handed dunk" with his right hand...

Nice video. Btw, Danny Ainge was 44, not Kevin McHale.

Thanks a lot for a hundred subs guys share this vid with everyone u know and pls like and comment. Make sure u watch in 1080 p

What if I told you I got to watch Larry Bird Magic Johnson play in college and then play their whole NBA careers

nice video

Well written video.

The All Marine Basketball Team at Quantico Virginia gave me the nickname "Larry Bird" in 1979...one of their players was Dwayne Robertson from Harlem .. a 6'8" point guard called the "magician"..he was just as good as Magic Johnson ..just didn't get the breaks ..

Larry Joe was a Legend LONG before '86. C'Mon

Man, Your narration was great. You should get into broadcasting.

"get this video to 20 likes" boy all you gotta do is make a video about Larry Legend and you're gonna get fifty times that

Pretty sure Kevin neither brought the ball down court nor was stripped. That was Danny at 3:08.

This is by FAR my favorite Larry Bird story kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6uEftNmm9WxaGg.html

For being slow he was the best.

I thought the video was about all the matches Larry Legend played

At least two of those "Left-handed" shots were made with the right hand. The L-H dunk and the next fall-away are both right handed.

Nice dialogue.

3:08 Danny Ainge brings the ball down the court, not Kevin McHale. In fact, this might very well might be the only time in history the sentence "Kevin McHale brings the ball down the court." has been uttered.

1:55 thats a right hand dunk

U r good ty

Bird actually became “Larry legend” in 1981 by Peter Vescy.

They don't call him Larry Legend for nothing. He was a bad man

7:06 Crazy!

The dummies who think Bird was slow and couldn’t jump or wasn’t a good athlete make me laugh. Dude was 6-10. Strong as hell. Quick hands and feet. Mean. Tough. Could he run and jump like MJ or Doc or Drexler. ?? No. But nobody could. But he was much more physically gifted than people give him credit for.

#44 was Danny Ainge. Kevin McHail was #32

1:55 it's a right handed dunk

The Hick from French Lick and Pistol Pete!

The left handed dunk was right-handed?

That wasn't Kevin McHale....that was Danny Angie (3:08)

Hahaha….Larry bird was legend way before 1986

Larry Bird was a bad man !!! All you have to do is look at his highlights !!! This man Was a LeBron killer .

Jimmy high roller jr

You sound like McKaully killing from home alone the movie

Larry is actually left handed. Google the picture of when he signed his Celtics contract.

He didn't score all his points with his left hand in the first three quarters.

Love Larry, but at 8:25 was a right hand dunk

#44 is Danny Ainge. McHale is #32.

That was Ainge who lost the ball, not McHale.
