as a knick and laker fan god did i hate the celtics and bird....but i never denied his greatness, i just resented it. i wish i had been more open the, b/c watching this stuff, wow...i mellowed on him at the end when he made peace with magic..

No one was more feared with the ball in a tie game with 3 or 4 seconds left. Larry is the greatest clutch shooter of all time. Watched the 80,s Celtics dominate like no other team ever had.

Luka is Bootleg Larry Bird

That was fun to watch!! 😊

Larry Legend - no other context is needed. Epic.

Magic is still right, there hasn't been, and never will be another Larry Bird.

Bird was the greatest

Feel bad for the generations who didnt see live them doin' they THANG!.....ooooohhh....baby...you missed out!....😎

Such a complete basketball player, such a LEGEND!

Larry Bird asked God to bless me.

Tho brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. Magic is so sincere it's just so good the friendship that is between these two men. So much respect for each other ❤️

Larry looked like 50 when he started playing, when he left basketball and now he looks like 51.

Is this “Beyond the Glory”?

Bird ,Parrish,MacCale were 3 of the best in the NBA.Bird was just an incredible player. 😊

I regret that I didn't make the 350 mile trip to Atlanta to see him, and the other Celtics play the Hawks, one time, live. That was the closest choice I had, but I had to work too many hours, I thought, back then. I could have done it.

Larry "Legend" Bird was one of the greatest players to EVER step on the court!!!

Never going to be another Larry Legend

If he not injured..he will do lot more thing

These two men genuinely love each other

Larry Bird in the original Boston Gaaahhden was like The Pope in The Vatican! ☘️🙏❤️

I was born in Redondo Beach CA..... I grew up in Indiana.....white... I'm almost 62....played basketball almost every day....had two older brothers.....my brother came home one day....and all he could talk about was Larry Bird and Majic Johnson when they were in college....we all watched them ever since......words can't describe their hard work....their talent.... their passion....and their leadership....and their humbleness.....I'm forever changed by these two ..... thank you ......for being you.....lol......live it up men....you deserve it....! 💜

Both Magic & Bird's careers were cut short due to health issues & yet they still managed to give us a lifetime of competitiveness & memories. Lakers vs. Celtics will always be the greatest NBA rivalry in my opinion...

to bad his back gave out he could of played for much longer

🕊️❤️🕊️

No longer a fan of the nba. My choice. I love the game of basketball though. I feel so fortunate to have grown up watching Magic and Bird. The two storied franchises. When the game was tough, the men tougher. What a golden era.

Unless you know the definition of "compile', You'll never understand what it takes to be GOAT If you know Larry Bird, you know GOAT

Does Pistol Pete remind you guys of resembling Larry Bird? Both were Creative and Maestro’s

I would like some input on the play style of his Celtics teams. I am playing fantasy and would like to know what personnel to build around him. I’m going to add that Larry Bird is A Complete Basketball Player. His skills and abilities covered every aspect of the Art of Basketball.

Magic is right too. Still to this day there has never been another player like larry

Sad day for those of us that followed Larry from going to IU....

So glad I grew up in this era.

2 🐐 🏆

Yes many of us southern Indiana Hoosiers say it just like that “baskaball”.

Best era of basketball 😞

Legend will always be in the Top 5 of All Time.

Larry is the biggest "What if" in Basketball history. no disrespect to all the other great great players that can be mentioned here, but he crippled his back just right at the beginning of his prime, and STILL made it into the hall of fame and even has claims to be top 10 ever. all while playing hurt, when most player really start cementing their careers.

They said he couldn't dunk. But, there are too many highlight reels showing him dunking. Larry once told a reporter that dunking wasn't a shot and once he could dunk he said ok, I'll just practice from behind the backboard (which he did) Even the best defensive players in the NBA said ok, if I can keep him under 25 points we might win. Like the man said, he was playing chess while the rest were playing checkers. Had injuries not killed his career, no telling what his final numbers would have been.

From being rivals from 79 till 91 & playin together one last time the best thing magic said about bird was that they’re will never be another larry bird

Lovely😢👍🏀♥️♥️

Larry Bird, the man the myth, the legend .

The game itself was so much better back then. Certainly more entertaining. They ran fast breaks, had set plays for all players, played defense, great passing, etc. Now it’s all players steam-rolling each other on the way to the basket and then, subsequently, the foul line or watching mediocre shooters heave 3-pointers all game long. BOOOOORING! I rarely missed a game back in the 80’s and early 90’s, now I might watch the Finals but that’s about it.

Greatest anime moments

“I dedicated my life to basketball and I dedicated my life to the Boston Celtics” That is how players should be, how many players in this day and age can say the same thing

Him wearing the Celtics shirt underneath is where it's at

These guys were meant for each other God Bless what they gave us!

As someone who played ball in NYC at Divsion 1 , The Cage and at Rucker Park. I remember we would see plays that Larry Bird did and try to do it at playground and it was impossible. Truly one of the greatest.

1:09 Wow a more level court camera shot shows how tall Larry Bird really is!

Larry Bird was right… there will be another Larry Bird and a better version of Larry Bird, and their names are Lebron James and Luka Doncic

I thought the opening speaker was Ric Flair.
