The coach called time out

After seeing Larry on the “Dream team” I was fascinated the man refused to be guarded refused to be blocked.

Larry was 6’9”

Larry ain’t there to get a poster shot He’s there to rip your heart out and show it to you RAMBO style

Larry wasn’t just another white boy

I call Larry the John Wick of Basketball !

Isiah Thomas said the swish of the net when Larry scored was the sound of death

JAMES WORTHY said he would rather guard Mike than LARRY! Can you even conceptualize what that means????

TIME OUT

IN CONVERSE!

He at the playground bra!

I delight at the wonder and respect you are giving him! He was a BaaAaaD man

Are they even playin the same game ,dam

I never cared for basketball until I saw Larry Bird play as a teenage girl. And those glasses are dope af. ❤

Not HARLEM a place where Basketball is a religion Indiana baby!

GOAT

Jordan said Bird taught him how to be a trash talker & to hit the last second shot to win the game.

Jim Brown was far better at lacrosse than football. Only three years of Earl Campbell was even close to Jim's level.

There were sleepless nights for people who guarded Larry.

Dr.J was the first skywalker he’s 30something in that game.

Those passes were very necessary . It was exactly how you kept the other team guessing what you would do the next time 🤦🏻‍♂️

yo fr dude... young bucks talking shit on ANY NBA player def believes his own hype....well son, sometime Mama lie........lolol

Dr J was a great human being but also the player that was simply beautiful to watch, Michael before Michael. I didn't even watch b-ball then but Dr J's move made me watch it.

WILT HAS A QUINTUPLE WITH 53 PTS 32 REBS 24 BLKS 14 AST 11 STL UNBREAKABLE RECORD INDEED FACTS

Larry played center in college. 33-0

People need to keep in mind that MJ did all of this during the NBA's Golden Era, the most talent-rich period in NBA history (1980's/90's). Michael played in an exponentially more difficult time period than LeBron and the game was much more physical. Great reaction!

The dream team beat themselves the first game. They were all superstars and everybody wanted to show why they were picked. They didn’t play as a team and the college team beat them. The coach did not intervene because he wanted them humbled so they would listen to him. He even kept the STAR Jordan sitting on the bench most of the game. Imagine how hard coaching the best players of the NBA on one team. Why would they listen to a coach. Coach Daly let the college players get ahead, then stopped the practice, cleared the scoreboard and let the press into the building. He told the team anybody can be beat and then gave them his plan to follow. It worked but every practice was like a championship game after that. There was not one game in that Olympics where the outcome of the Dream team was in doubt. Coach Daly got the stars to play as a team. He even became golf buddies with Jordan, who had to hate him. Daly designed the defense that drove Jordan crazy when he played the Bad Boys.

Yes he dunked it,, watch his videos

Manu was such a great player. Please react to more of his videos.

hey Solid, I'm glad you did this, this guy was awesome and a legend, as kids (I was 12 in 1976) we were all ABA fans, the red white and blue ball, Dr. J, the Skywalker, and so many other great players and the style of play was exciting and different, I was a Dr. J guy, we'd all dress ABA style, which back then was head bands, wrist bands, baggie shorts over sweat pants, cutoff shirts lol and no, I am not a Skywalker or Dr J but loved the game- then came Larry Legend and I switched over to him being no.1, man he was another Legend, dif, not a skywalker but all around wizard with the toughness of a junkyard dog and the killer instinct of a great white shark smellin blood...check out Dan Issel, a 7 ft center from that time who was a scoring machine, he's in here talkin about David Thompson...

Larry was a better Passer. But unlike Lebron Bird didn't pass the ball when it came to taking a the last shot.

Magic, Larry and MJ couldn't care less who was the GOAT.

Behind three , I'll take larry!!!

Love to see a Making The Case for Bill Russell reaction.

As coach, Larry put his team together, a team of team players: Miller, Jackson, and Mullen. Jalen Rose was out to prove himself. And the Davis brothers made sure Rodman didn't even have a.chance. he was Missing In Action against the Bulls. His Pacers gave Chicago the most trouble since.Detroit.

I figure the Sixer Barkley wouldn't name was Marc Iavorroni. He was on the team to take out franchise players by making them lose their cool.

DomInique is my favorite non-Celtic. He and Isaiah Thomas should have been on that first Dream Team. Take out Malone and Stockton. Tell Jordan to shut up about Isiah. Keep a cattle prod ready to go Isaiah started acting like the kind of player EVERYONE apparently In the NBA hated with a passion.

Auerbach rhymes with power back. And he is as legendary as any five players other than Russell and Bird.

What is the deal on Clark? I don't know the wnba

Let's be honest about one thing. New York City is the media capitol of the world, followed by Chicago and L.A. And L.A. might be AS.big,.just in different ways than New York. And the Yankees have dominated the sport of baseball seemingly like no one else. Babe Ruth is the baseball GOAT, and the New York media will never let anyone forget it. In 1970, when the Knicks won, I have read that New.York hyped that series up so much that it might as well have neen the first game.ever.played, according to culture/sports experts. You know, guys who spend their time analyzing who wins and why and.how.we.come.to.take.the.opinion of New York City sports-writers and.broadcasters and people around the country who work FOR.a New York home office. These experts in sports/culture were the first in America to say that if we loved hockey the way we love other sports, our.minds.would have.been.blown by Wayne.Gretzky. He would be.on.the.tip.of everyone's tongue when asked who the greatest athletes of all time are. But I don't know hockey beyond.the Bruins so Gretzky is a non factor. I can't even say WHY he is God in Canada. But back to New York. They invented The NBA in 1970 and pretended the 1960s never happened in basketball. So.that is one factor.to.remember about New York/Chicago/L.A and their.axis.of info or the lack of it when it comes to sports. And besides their huge numbers of Yankee/Dodger/Giants/Mets world series victories., the NYC media won't let anyone forget that Joe DiMaggio performed the greatest feat of athleticism-that-can-be-measured by man. He hit.safely in 56 consecutive games..Statistically that is impossible. Look at it. No one is as close as Rose and.Keeler, each with 44.game.streaks. it is a record that no one gets close to with each generation. No one is closing in on that number that I know of. All of which is to say that if the Celtics had been the New York Celtics since 1946 when the NBA started, they would be as lauded as the Yankees/Dodgers/Giants/Mets domination. 😚 The Celtics don't play for New York, though, They play for.Boston. Boston? Like Atlanta for so many years, Boston has to stand.for several states, from Connecticut to Maine. And...Boston? Boston is or was the smallest town to have all 4 sports represented by their own team. Baseball, basketball, football, and hockey. But....Boston? It is a big college town. Harvard, BC, BU, Northeastern etc etc. How can that small town not only support 4 teams, but in the 21st century, Boston somehow has been the dominant city in Sports. Patriots and Red Sox have 6 and 4.titles since 2001. Celtics 2 and Bruins 1. And the Sox accomplished a.DiMaggio when they reeled off 4 in a row over the Yankees in 2004. And.so.if the Celtics were New.York City there would be no GOAT Talk. Bill Russell would be pounded into us as the GOAT. No questions allowed. But number 2 on the GOAT list would probably be up for grabs. Maybe. Maybe possibly. It depends on the athlete and the team. Knowing New York, Larry would seal.that spot because that is how Red Auerbach saw it. And.a.New York Auerbach would be Albert Einstein; he would never be considered wrong about anything. "Draft Russell then sell your wife and kids.to get Bird." And the guy who invented the modern NBA to suit the kinds of teams he dreamed to put together would know, right? When Russell came up from college, everyone(coaches, scouts, GMs) passed because Russell didn't score. Only Auerbach saw thru that.to the.modern world. Give the ball to the scorers. Block shots..Rebound. Be.a.demon in the ten feet around the net. Fight for it. Other teams are the enemy. Have at least one enforcer. So the New York Celtics would be like the Yankees. Our DNA would tell us Russell and Bird are one and.two, with one getting the ball to two, and.two almost never missed from 79 to 86. And Red might possibly be the one Coach to push Bird one way and pull in the other so that he avoided injury. But he didn't and Bird felt the need.to dive for every loose ball. And.Carr and.Maxwell were the enforcers but Larry stood up for himself. ..But if he had played for the New.York Celtics, anyone who messed with Larry would get got. You think Mafia guys don't like sports? They may be blind to teams when it comes to betting, but a team like The Celtics coached by a guy like Auerbach would inspire the hopes and dreams of even the most hardened tough guy.And I am not kidding. And Auerbach is the exact kind of coach who would welcome the help of organized crime since he loved to needle other teams in the road with a premature victory cigar. He also loves calling in Bomb scares and paying his lackeys to trip.the fire alarms at hotels housing the visiting enemy in Boston. HE also punched Moses Malone during that massive brawl in Philly where Cedric Maxwell went into the stands after a heckler, where Bird punched Billy Cunningham. ...And.no.fines from Auerbach or any Celtics coach. ..So let us have no more GOAT talk. The media have.decreed the NY Celtics as the basketball Yankees and Russell and Bird as Ruth and...Gehrig maybe.i don't know if Gehrig was that good. DiMaggio? Mantle? Whoever. But that pause would be sealed off from criticism. At three, start guessing and arguing.

This Caucasian says NO WAY!!! NO TRADE!!! Larry fan for whole career. I'm starting my franchise with him

Bird was better then jordan ... sorry... he beat jordan 11 out of 12 times ...

2 of my favorite basketball players from the 80s/90s was hakeem Olajuwan and Dominique Wilkins. Both incredibly underrated and never had another star or helper on their team to help them get more championships. I always wished they would end up on the same team. If they had they'd been very hard to stop.

Larry would destroy them today!!!

Sorry WNBA à joke, if the NBA did t support there would be no WNBA, no attendance that's the reason . No😅 fans no money same goes for womans soccer no attendance no money, that's how the world works .Sorry lady's, you want to make money, get all those feminists get out there and support these sports!!!!! s

Agree on your point about players not being their special selves anymore like before. They are copying each other, bit resting new plays

People dont like Angel Reese because she behaves in a hatefull way. Not just trash talking mean, but hatefull - highlighting the difference. And its not like Bird and Magic, because they not only respected each other, considered each other friends at the end of their careers. And Larry was the opposite personality compared to Caitlin. Larry was arrogant and nobody would be able to mess with him. Caitlin says nothing, just puts her head down and does the work and shows everyone why she is the best.

Larry legend a cold mf. Top 5 definitely.

They say they were both 6 ft.9 ut I've seen them side by side Larrys taller!! 😊
