After editing, I will say I would give the last shot to Bird. What do y’all think?
I have a weird take on this, I think that LeBron is the most physically gifted and naturally talented player to step into the court.
That said, Bird would still beat him because LeBron just doesn't have the willpower, and that's the only thing Bird has over him.
Willpower and the best basketball brain in the history of the game.
@@Wearywastrel Bird is tougher than LeBron and he's a better passer too as well as that BB IQ plus that clutch factor. Bird never flopped either. He's a better shooter. Bird's trash talking would have LeBron flopping before the game started. That's seven things he has over LeBron. I know LeBron is a great athlete and the NBA's greatest scorer. I admire LeBron too but Larry Legend is something else. I bet LeBron doesn't tell people what he's going to do before he does it. Larry did that very frequently. Make that eight things. I don't consider that to be trash talking. That's telling it like it is (going to be).
The one thing that doesn't matter across generations and how the game is different is Bird's mental gifts. Between being mentally tough, vision to see a play and just his trash talking. Especially the latter. I don't know if LeBron would react well to Bird's trash talking.
Bird no contest!!
Who is better ?
Shooter BIRD
Passer BIRD
Rebounder BIRD
3 Point BIRD
Leader BIRD
Clutch BIRD
Flopping JAMES
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅SPOT ON
The things that made me really admire larry were his hustle and tenacity. I'm talking about the whole game, the whole season, heck even his whole career. Leflop has none of that.
Bird better at free throws, too.
Lebron is better than Bird at flopping like a fish out of water.
😂😂
LeBron sneezes and he sits on the bench for 10 games getting better. Larry fractured his face and came back out and won the game. That’s why he has been in the game so long. If he had to play against the bad boy Pistons he would have been out years ago.
Larry Played with a broken back for the last few years of his career
Not to mention, the rumors of PEDs
Sorry kid , those of
us that have watched
generational NBA ,
don’t see greatness
in LeBron James !
Bird , Magic and MJ
are the real GOATS !
I have to add Kobe to that incredible list
@@gone2bchYeah and I'll add Wilt & play him as rim-protecter. Larry as PF & Magic as SF.
Insane starting 5
La'Fraud SUXXX
@@danielandersson7485 Thats a Winning starting 5! lol
Bird, Jordan, Kobe and Magic all had killer instincts, Lebron does not.
Ray Allen, Robert Horry, Steve Kerr, and John Paxson all have more killer instinct than Lebron
Facts!
I have agree that Larry is the greatest SF ever
Larry Legend is way more clutch than the so called King. GOATs don't flop but Drama Queens do. Long live the Queen of Drama.
The famous quote: “If I had to pick one player to take a shot to save a game, I'd pick Michael Jordan. If I had to pick one player to take a shot to save my life… I'd pick Larry Bird."
I think Pat Reilly gave that answer when asked that question.
Bird was tougher-more clutch-better shooter-better post up game-better rebounder-better passer-better free throw shooter……..how is LeBron better?
Lebrick fanboys always chalk up his stats accumulated through 20+ yrs, , his consecutive finals appearance as metric that lebrick is better than larry.
@@deancafe4739I was literally having an argument and I said besides what does lebron have besides longevity stats. The dude named 4 straight advanced stats that have to do with longevity aka value over replacement, win shares, etc
@@deancafe4739 Only because he's had more time to up his stats!
Lebron himself has said hes the best small forward ever. Michael Jordan has said there's no weakness to Larry birds game.
Bird was 6’10..
Larry won an MVP as a player, won head coach of the year, and won as executive of the year. the only person in history to win all three awards.
3 MVP's in a row!
Throw in "Rookie Of the Year" while we're totalling the ledger.
@@foots-qt4pk No one has gotten MVP 3x in a row since!
Lebron wouldn't play with a sore ankle. Larry would play with a broken foot
Larry played with a broken face
@@bigmike2464 And let's not forget the back!
Larry over James because he had EVERYTHING in his arsenal- a complete package. Lebron is a tremendous player, but he falls short skill set for skill set against Larry. Hell, almost all players did and do.
Falls WAY short whe. It comes to HEART too.
Way more skills....way more clutch....more heart....tougher
I still can't figure out how these analysts just throw LeBron as a top 2 player of all time as if that's not even debatable.As if the only debate is if he's 1 or 2.
It's ridiculous
@@nickdamas2164totally agree. Not even top 5
Dude Bird would throw his body to the floor to get a free ball. Every play mattered in every game. You need to watch more Bird tapes
truth
And LJ through his body to the floor hoping they will give him the flop foul
You said lebron is built different, but Larry actually played entire seasons. Lebron has a much longer career yes, but he has only played 80 games in a season once. So Larry is man compared to a boy in lebron. Larry missed 22 games in his career. Lebron has missed over 70. Larry played with a fractured jaw. Lebron leaves games because his hairline is showing. Lebron has more finals games lost than any other player at 22-33.
lebron is only clutch when he is within arms distance of the rim. larry is clutch from anywhere on the court.
so many points in this video where this child shows that the only thing he knows about basketball from before he was born is from a few highlight reels.
I’m not a Skip Bayless fan but why is his opinion less valid than say, yours? Give LeBron the gold star for longevity. I guess it’s easier to last when you don’t have to battle every minute of every game and you don’t go to the hole with a vengeance like Larry or MJ.
It's true they have it so much easier today! Hés never had to take cheap shots while trying to shoot or make it down the court.
(17:40) What you need to consider is the difference in physicality. Larry lacks the ability to jump or run like Lebron, it was the same against Dr. J, or just about anyone else and yet Larry dominated the league. Larry was the essence of basketball skill!
I'm 72 years old. You're a better man than me. I couldn't and wouldn't watch a video trying to tell me someone was better than Bird. My reaction would have been a bit more animated with a touch of cussing.
🤣😂🤣
LeBron is one of the all time greats. Respect. But I don’t need to watch this to tell y’all that Larry was more clutch. Oh, and Larry never flopped, keep that in mind.
Larry played a whole game left handed
First of all people don't even know Bird injured his shooting hand really bad right before he entered the NBA. He had broken it and still put up numbers as if he didn't even injure his hand. The man was clutch and a warrior.
They are both great players. Bird is better. Legitimately, James has three things over Bird: Speed, Strength, and Dunking ability. It doesn't matter though. Bird made up for those differences in so many other ways, starting with his top-tier IQ. Bird was ahead of the game, and could make up for speed and strength by already being at the right place at the right time. He didn't need to dunk as definitively as James because he could shoot from anywhere with accuracy.
Yes he could. Why else would he tell the players and the team what he was going to do. He was incredibly intelligent
Don't forget flopping and whining
I've been a Bulls fan for 33yrs and I can tell you Bird is the best clutch player I've ever seen, even more clutch than MJ. MJ showed people how good he was, Bird just made players look stupid. And I'm taking Bird over Durant 10 out of 10 times.
There is a vid I saw like 7 years ago on here where MJ made more game winners then ANYONE. Seen it once and can't find it lol
Bro they really don't understand how good prime bird was he's the most underrated player all time and he's still a legend being underrated
@@punkem733 I know exactly what video you're talking. I made my original comment because I actually got to see Larry Bird and MJ play in my. A lot of people make assumptions just from looking at a video and no I'm not saying you do that at all. After Birds 2nd practice in the NBA he is quoted by saying "I'm going to destroy this league", and he did.
There’s the famous Pat Riley comment about if he had to choose a player to take a shot to win the game he’d pick MJ but if he had to choose a player to take a shot to save his life he’d take Bird…. 🦅
@@timwiedenbeck5214 Me too, love me some bird, I am 46, but not old enough to have watched his career but the last 3 or so years so I admit i didn't get prime bird action, and I recorded on a VCR nearly all bulls games from around 1990 until the 98 finals. So I do know MJ's game much better, and I just can't choose anyone over MJ in the middle of a game, to take the last shot, anything. MJ was a alien playing ball, everyone else looked human, some looked like near perfection as humans playing like bird, but NO ONE looked like the alien MJ was.
When you talk to the legends of the game and birds name comes up, the people who played against him will tell you. He is all that
Bird would be getting 30 points alone just from the free throw line from the baby fouls in this era. They played harder back then and loved it. Lebron cries imagine him having his Jersey grabbed like that he’s not even close to the player Bird was.
Even LeBron has Larry 1st in his top 3. It's on video more than once.
LeStats was more athletic and bigger. The comparison ends there. Bird was better in every single aspect of the game. And its not even close.
The Mavericks beat Lebron in 2011.. nuff said.
not just lebron they had d wade and chris bosh and still couldnt beat the mavericks
How does a .736 WIN percentage not keep you in the top 5, FOREVER!!??🤦♂🤦♀🤦
.650 WP for Lebron for reference..
P.S. Lebron playing in the no touch, cupcake era has nothing to do with "being built different"?
With load management, no defense, no handchecking, no body slams in the paint, advanced medical and therapy, vastly better nutrition and the pussiest rules in NBA history?? PLEASE! Today Bird has a 20 year career with no effort..
Dont even get me started on all the PEDs, today,ffs..
P.P.S "It's easy to maintain your career stats in street clothes" Charles Barkley
jordon would know. he played against bird. its not being a lebron hater. jordon knew what bird was about and played against and saw firsthand what bird could do.
🤡 You had me there for a second.
Bird is GOAT👍
Young fella, one thing you forgot that LeBron's the very BEST at. NO ONE from Birds time ever tired to do it in a game. LeBron is the undisputed champion of the FLOP!!
NO ONE FROM THE 80'S WOULD SINK AS LOW AS ACTING LIKE A MAN BABY AS IF HE WAS FOULED AND INJURED!!! So yeah kudos to your Lebron the actor... Hollywood awaits!
I grew up just outside of Boston during the 80s watching Larry win games, Buckner let a ball go between his legs, and the Patriots get buried by the Bears.
It was a good time to be a fan of Boston basketball, for sure.
Larry not coming through in the clutch was such a rare occurrence, that you never thought it would happen.
Pat Riley once said "if I had one shot to win the game, I'd choose MJ. If I had one shot to save my life, I'd choose Bird"!
I see it and I'm not looking at stats I'm looking about playing ability. Larry Bird was a better shooter no one will argue that. Larry Bird was a better rebounder people forget he averaged career over 10 rebounds. He was better in the clutch I think a better passer because he had higher IQ. He was better at stealing passes. LeBron was a better shot blocker and flopper. That's the only things I see he was better than can anybody else think of anything he was better?
You touched on this a bit, but Larry is the greatest passer because he can do so many types of passes. Overhead, behind the back, hustle, no look, full court, spin passes, and more. Each type of pass comes with an impressive and deadly accuracy. Even Magic (who is also a legendary passer) can't do all of these things consistently.
He passed between a dudes legs
I would definitely pick Bird over Lebron. Bird was a complete player.
Bird was a far better passer, I think your age and mine just show. Being 49 years old and watching basketball my whole life LeBron doesn’t even make the top 10 list. LeBron chokes a lot, doesn’t have even a 50/40/90 game let alone season, Bird played injured like no other and did have to sit out most of 88 season but with a double acheles injury. Most of the 80s era and before players don’t have LeBron in their top 5. Everyone has their opinions and we won’t agree on everything but I love these debates and hopefully teaching some younger guys about the old school greats.
Lebron doesn’t have heart. Bird was the embodiment of heart.
Lebron shoots 20% in clutch time, bird 48%. Lebron wouldn’t even debate that
I'm pretty sure in the finals, Lebron's percentage is even lower and Bird's goes up.
flopping is cheating and having fans thrown out shows mental weakness, but the game is so soft now why shouldn't it's cheer leaders knowledge
direct results of a pussy whipped league. Scarier yet, it's not just the nba
LeBron James wouldn’t take himself over Larry Bird in the clutch.
haha. truth
You're probably not gonna like this, but there is no competition. It's not even close. The clutchest man that ever played. Any sport. Time and time and time again. If the game was close, the others were probably gonna lose. Everybody in the building knew what was going to happen. He even told them out of boredom. "Two dribbles, to the left, off the glass" And they couldn't do anything to prevent it. I was lucky enough to see him doing it. Look at a couple of highlight videos and the devastated faces he left them with. The founder of the 50/40/90 club. Before him nobody thought this was even possible. He did it twice and almost over a five year span. The man was called legend while still playing for a reason. He terrified the best players in the world.
There's no actual competition. Bird was more intense and loyal to his team
Exactly. Never seen him headed to locker room with 10 to play
LeBron is the opposite of Clutch and Bird is the king of clutch.
People who pick James over Bird have never seen Larry Legend play. Prime Bird was unstoppable.... Keep it simple, look at best year versus best year and Bird's number are still better
Of course you take Bird to start your team. LeBron could only win by forming super teams. Bird turned the Celtics' franchise completely around, stayed there his whole career, and won 3 championships. How is this even debatable at this point?
You talk about Bird being injured. I would say, 99.9% of players today, wouldn't even try to play with the injuries Bird had.
On the injury thing...you say LeBron doesn't get injured and Larry did but the league Larry played in was 5x as physical. It wasn't the hand check league of today, you got bodied back then. What was a hard foul back then is an easy technical today
One of the privileges of my age is to have seen these two players play since the start of their careers (as well as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and other stars). However, if as GM, I had to choose immediately which one I would like to have in my team, it is without any hesitation that I would answer Larry Bird. Magic Johnson probably would have been a possible G.O.A.T. if Bird had not played against him and in the same period as him. Bird has been a rock in Johnson's shoe. Likewise, Lebron would have seen his star shine less if he had played in the Bird days. In addition to an exceptional talent as a shooter from all positions, a magic passer, Bird was a real aggressive player, trash talker and with limitless determination. Winning the Celtics was his only obsession. The slightest defeat was unbearable to him. Lebron is a fake tough guy. He knows that his physique impresses but often times he has shown his limits when the opponent leaves him no margin. Bird did not let any opposing player constrain him... and he had better watch himself.
Yes, following his retirement, it will be fair to say that James was a player who marked the NBA... but nothing to do with the career, the talent and the impact of LARRY BIRD. That's why, many loved it and still love to hate it.
The league back then was A LOT tougher. Players didn’t leave the game because of a hangnail. If LeBron James had to play against players, like ,say the bad boy pistons had I think he’d have been just a big a target as Bird was and would have suffered more injuries than he has in today’s soft league.
Jordan said that Larry Bird was and the best small forward of all time and much better than Lebron
In a 9 year run from 1980 to 1989, Larry Bird got 67% of all MVP votes that were cast. All other players combined only received 33% of the votes. I find it interesting after watching several different reaction videos by fans of either Jordan or Lebron, that the younger generation for the most part say Bird isn't even in their top 10. Yet when Jordan and Lebron were asked who was in their top 3 both named Bird in theirs. GUESS THEY THINK THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT BB THAN JORDAN AND LEBRON
Can you imagine Bird on the same drugs as Lebron is taking? Even without the roads, Bird over Leflop all day, every day.
Bird over Lebron. Jordan made his run after Bird retired. Jordan was 0 and all in ALL his playoff match-up series against Bird.
🤣🤣🤣... Lebron Playing Hurt, ha ha ha... Stop It. He does have the Pretending To Get Hurt Down, I'll Give Him That. I heard this interview with Wilkins on here YT somewhere & it went something like this: "Wilkins Said, Now & Then I Would Ask Young Players This Question: If You Could Choose To Be A Great Athlete OR A Great Player, Which One Would You Pick? And He Said Most Would Pick A Great Athlete, And I Would Tell Them NO. A Great Athlete Might Get You Some Ooo's & Aww's BUT A Great Player Will Get You The Win's & That Is What Larry Bird Was". Larry Was All TEAM Playing & LeBron Is Just About Himself. Can You Just Imagine If Larry Was Selfish Like Lebron Is? Yea His #'s Would Have Been Off The Wall & He Would Have Probably Moved Around To Other Team's Too. And there it is Another Reason Why I don't respect Lebron & Other's just like Him, And I'm Not The Only One That Doesn't. Yea I get that the Game isn't played like it use to be & I hope They All Go Broke Soon Because It. It shouldn't even be called Basketball any longer, Not sure what They should call it But it isn't Basketball Playing.
What is LeBron James
better at on the floor
than Larry Bird ? Not
shooting , not passing ,
not rebounding , not
free throws , not the
three pointer ! And ,
Larry Bird was easily
more clutch and more
feared than James !
By the way , I have
seen LeBron James ,
on many occasions ,
afraid to take the last
shot .. that ain’t clutch !
Flopping hope that is what you was figuring on for a answer 🙊
It's not even close man Pat Riley said the same thing about bird as Bayless You know, skip didn't come up with that on his own.
also larry broke his back shovelling stone at his moms driveway. He would spend the night in the hospital show up 5 hours early for the game to get loose then play the game and go back to the hospital after. He played the second half or his career with a nerve root problem in his back. That age 30 season is included in that time frame
Larry played in the toughest era of basketball, they played hard in the eighties and they had grudges and they wanted to win! I don't even watch basketball today it's just a Three-Point Contest no heart in the game !
Lebron isn't clutch, but he is effective. Larry is CLUTCH.
Who is even questioning that? Lmfao. Take a look in the mirror and start questioning whether or not Bird was the better player. Itll take about 2 mins and youll realize that hes 10 times the player LeFraud ever was or will be.
I get frustrated watching your reactions but then I remember you are young. One day, you will have the next generation coming at LJB because they have their own goat. You will understand where we old heads are coming from. We watched both, not highlights
I'd take larry and few more players over LeBron. Yes LeBron is more talented but he's a nice guy and the Jordan, Bryant, magic,birds of the world were a ruthless, cutthroat, win at all cost mentality. That's the only category LeBron is lacking.. and it's a big one for me
I would like to take lebron over really in the clutch ❤ But if I'm arguing with myself about it, it's only Because I can't go Against larry if my life depended on it. One hundred out of one hundred I would take larry
The NBA today is soft. Players now have longer careers because of better sports medicine, ticky tacky foul calls, and load management. Put Bird into todays NBA and he's averaging 30 points a game and playing at least 5 - 6 more years.
Son, Bird is the GOAT! Keep doing your research and listen to the best pros who played against him. Remember what Pat Riley said.
Dude, Larry's worst season FT % is better than LeBron's BEST FT %......ridiculous to even compare the two.
I hated Larry Bird as a Knicks fan, ok that doesn’t make me a Lebron fan either, but he could never just rip your heart out like Bird could. I still hate Bird, and I will pick him every second of every game over Lebron.
Larry Legend
He actually said "Lebron plays injured" as a point to Lebron over Bird!!!!!!
OMFG!🤣
Nowadays in america most fans are rooting for laundry
Michael Jordan is 0-6 against Larry Bird
Let me ask you young man, would you let lebum take the last shot to save your life? Me,Larry the legend Bird always
Bird shut Jordan down 6 years in a row and swept him twice
Jordan didn't win a single championship till Bird retired ...
6'10 and the best shooter in the league
2nd highest winning percentage ever
3 time MVP in a row
3 time 3 point champ in a row
Kareem - Magic -Jordan -Kobe and LeBron - all put Larry on their all time starting team lineup
Kareem and Magic said he's the best they ever played against
As a Rookie and the only new member on the Celtics
They had a 32 game improvement over the previous season
He was a leader out of the gate
LeBron took years to be a leader - and frankly he's kind of a cry baby
If we want to compare players, we also have to consider what era they meet in. If Lebron played in the late 80s/early 90s, they would beat the crap out of him. If Larry had to play in Lebron's era, he would have an easy time playing soft basketball. Basically, Larry would learn Lebron's basketball more easily than Lebron could deal with Larry's era.
Bird was definitely better than Bron. No Doubt.
As time goes on, I'm less fond of top list and GOAT conversations. Every year, the history of sports change with the addition of new players, new stars, new superstars and new Champions. Working from a finite list either degrades the past or present depending on perspective. If these conversations are happening 100 years from now, what will it be like then. Will any of these "top" players even be discussed. Larry is an underappreciated beast in the modern conversations of the game though and I love to see videos like this.
Bird is my #1 pick even over MJ, MJ got swept twice in the playoffs by Bird 6-0. MJ never beat Bird.
LeChina James has shown time and time again that in the clutch, he will pass rather than take the last shot! You bet your ass, Larry Bird wasn't going to pass that ball. He was going to take that shot. That's about all...
Bird for the Money Shot all day every day.
Larry, Mj, Kobe had the killer instinct that make them an alltime great. Le-flop? Forget it.
LeFlop isn’t even in the top 200 greatest players…. Anybody who’s watched/knows anything about the history of basketball knows this. Period.
Dude needs to watch more Bird. Bird was in a different league than LeBron. This was really funny. LOL
Bird was a way better passer, look at his mix passing tape and you will be amazed.
Most young urbanites pick lebron over larry simply because of race. Larry is much better than lebron ever was.
LeBron has the most turn overs of any player this year
Larry Bird is the best ever. .. He would tell the other team what the play he was going to run on them. What player has ever done that? Larry was pain for other team's. PERIOD! PERIOD! THE REAL GOAT! LEBRON IS GOOD NOT EVEN CLOSE THE THE LEGEND. femitøødrippy You weren't there. Lebron can jump and so can Jordan but Larry wasn't a high flyer. Skip knows greatness and so does Reggie. I grew up watching my Celtics kick ass like i watch Tom Brady kick ass. So you do not know what you're talking about femitøødrippy. Lebron lol. what a joke when you put him in Larry's category. Better passer smart passer. Lebron is all you seen. LOL! Son Lebron James is good so can you image how Larry Bird was that you're hearing these announcer's pick Larry over your boy Lebron. There will never be another Larry Bird thats how good he was. You weren't there, ask your father he was there. Back then player's played bloody and today they get paid more and take a seat when they're injured. come on son if you're going to do these video's you need to recognize.
That's why he is LARRY LEGEND......
Sorry to hurt your feelings but Bird is on the Mount Rushmore of the NBA LeBron is not
LEBRON ISN'T ON THE SAME LEVEL AS LARRY. THATS ANY LEVEL.
Dude, you're such a LeBron fan boy that you refuse to give any other player the recognition they deserve. So disrespectful.
You need to watch the Larry Bird best 50 passes video, before you just go and say the LeBron was definitely a better passer.
Bird hurt his back putting a driveway in for his mom… He had the money to pay someone to do it but he chose to do it him self.. that is how he is built. James would never do that. Give Bird the training and sports medicine that James has now… holy shit..
Did you say clutch is a close one between Lebron and Larry?..🤣🤣
Lebron wasn't avegaing 20 in the 80's where you could actually put hands on a player...Lebron has no post or mid range game
Jordan never beat Larry.
Not a tough case ... even LeBron says Larry is the greatest small forward of all time ...
I am someone that has no clue about basketball in general. I have never watched a game in my life. But I do want to put my 2 cents in here when it comes to injuries. The time when Larry Bird was playing was more physical that modern basketball is, since modern basketball players are alot "money focused". If they get injured, they don´t earn money. So the games are alot less physical nowadays. Ofcourse I might be wrong, but that is what I can see from clips from differnt eras.
