      @@wcarlosbrown Literally the entire NBA All Defensive team. Bam, AD, Rudy, Herb, Wemby. No one's guarding Bird in today's NBA. He's basically Luka...except 43 years before Luka, and he'd do to Rudy EXACTLY what you saw Luka do in Game 1 of the WCF. Cut the passing lane he'll take the layup. Overplay him and parish (gafford/lively) will be ready for the lob. Unlike luka though, he won't look to the refs to solve the problem, bird will just HURT YOU. Bird's a bad dude.

      he was either 1st or 2nd in mvp voting in 7 season and another season 3rd in voting and 4th in voting. His last 3 of 4 seasons were with back issue and he missed like 150 games because of it. That 4500 points if he had his average season.

      I got to only watch the very tail end of his career and was young then. But even today my father talks about how good he was and of coarse what him and magic did for the NBA. But 1 think he mentions all the time that he loved was the respect larry and irving had for each other. Larry is one of few that calls him irving compared to magic most of the time. They really became true great friends. RESPECT

    My dad was from Indiana. I grew up on the east coast. My dad made me watch every nationally televised Celtics game because he said Bird was the best player ever, this was his rookie year, he was waiting for a year for him to get to the NBA. I still have year sports illustrated where Bird was representing Terre Haute.
    He only made me watch the first couple of games and then I was hooked, he never made me watch another, I was getting the games tracked and on the TV ready for him!
    I was amazed by Bird, I still am. I grew up thinking that is what a basketball player should be doing. Never seen it since.
    I'm grateful to him for "making" me watch him, I'll never see anything else like it. It was a magical time. I still have a dozen signed Bird cards that he collected. I love you dad. I miss you. Thank you for being a great dad. The best part is every time I see Bird clips I get to remember my dad.

    I’ve said it for years and I’ll say it for the rest of my life…. For a period of around 7-8 years from about 1981- 1988, Larry Bird played the best all around basketball in the history of the game. That includes MJ, Lebron, Magic, Wilt … whoever.
    Scoring, rebounding, passing, leadership, team defense, toughness, clutch play and winning. He was incredible.

    Larry was an assassin, a killer of souls. I'm telling the young gen.....even if your team was up by 9 in 6 seconds left....It was NOT over.
    Larry was a killer. for sure. One of the most feared , all time players. Teams and cities dreaded his arrival.
    I did. This is respect from a rival fan. I can't tell you how many times I cursed the name of Larry Bird.

Magic was my first ever favorite NBA player...second was Eddie Jones...and then soon as Kobe Bryant came to the Lakers it was him. Haven't had a favorite player on the Lakers since. Larry Legend was absolutely unreal...brilliant...a magnificent basketball player. I play basketball as well and some of the stuff he did to this day still blows my mind. Like...theres no play there Larry!!!! What are you doing Larry?!?! Omg how did you do that... Lol I swear thats me when I watch him.

      I agree he was too up until Jordan came along and Jordan actually got beat by Larry Bird a few times in Michael Jordans early couple of years in the NBA. But Jordan did have 6 or 7 NBA championship titles. I disagree with Dr J being better than Bird maybe for a couple games but career wise Bird Beat Dr. J . Bird could do it all, he was a excellent shooting 3's & he could outsmart his opponents under the basket in heavy cover. Bird also was excellent in passes for assists he could do it all unlike Dr J who was only good in the paint under the basket. As for MJ I still don't think noone has beat Michael Jordans NBA championship titles not even LeBron James. If LeBron would've went up against Larry Bird he'd have gotten schooled in shooting and out rebounded. Larry Bird is a Basketball 🏀 legend that will be talked about 100+ years from now of one the greatest to ever play. Even Michael Jordan said Larry Bird was the toughest he ever played against in his early years before Bird Retired.

      Im glad he doesnt play today though. He would probably be forced to mostly space the floor and take threes, instead of being able to use the entire half court to play his game. A lot of his talent would be wasted today. How many of those passes to guys surrounding the hoop would be obliterated because theres hardly such a thing as the post or inside game anymore?

      Reason is simple. Disney's ESPN is fake journalism that is directly in bed with certain sports leagues and conferences (Disney played a big part in creating the SEC juggernaut in college football and that was because conferences like the Big 10 created their own network). They promote someone in every league or conference they own as the "GOAT" to market their current product. Same goes for FOX. They market what they televise. The only reason MJ is still relevant is his brand which they can also profit off of. Wilt, Bird, Magic, Karrem have no real brand.
      Want it to change? Unsub from ESPN. Cancel Hulu. If you HAVE to see a certain game go to a sports bar. Maybe they will find some ethics and truth with enough financial losses.

    Mr. Clutch. My GOAT and childhood hero. As a kid, it was the incredible skill he had. Any hand or distance. Better rebounder than Patrick Ewing. Just as good a passer as Magic - just not that fancy. Incapable of giving up. Lifted his teammates into the HoF.
    Later I learned he was also announcing all this sh*t to the competition: "Two dribbles, to the left, off the glass" Playing a game left-handed out of boredom.
    Quick reminder: He was an All Star in his rookie season. And 4th in MVP-voting, which would also be his worst position for the next 8 years: 2nd,2nd,2nd,1st,1st,1st,2nd,and 2nd

    Sir, you make the best and most consistent quality sports documentaries on the entire platform. Preparing to enjoy your vids is just like prepping myself to enjoy a movie cuz i know you only produce bangers with your researched and professionally compiled performance montages with your iconic voice and commentary in the background. Truly timeless.
    We all fans, (me especially 😁) would be very grateful if you Mr Vincent would take the time and make documentaries on the following personalities in the future 🙏🏽 -
    - The greatest power forward of all time and also arguably the greatest defensive player of all time, a true team-playing basketball superstar who didn't want the stardom, mastered and executed the fundamentals such that he was named after them, a savant who was hardly excited or depressed, a case can be made for him to be the greatest basketball player ever, and my personal number 1 favorite player of all time, Tim Duncan.
    - The greatest rebounder of all time, and also has a good case for being considered the greatest defensive player of all time, there was and never will be anyone like him On or Off the court, he embodied social media and news trivia before smartphones and Instagram was a thing, Jordan personally asked for him to be on their team and even dragged his drunk ass from bed while Carmen Electra was in the room when he left for a two days vacation, a lockdown specialist who'd regularly clamp Shaq down and was a hidden genius at understanding and exploiting the mechanics and dynamics of a ball in motion, on the ground or in the air, and gifted with never ending stamina and endurance, the man who made me interested in NBA in the first place, Dennis Rodman.
    - Another defensive gem who's considered to be the greatest undrafted NBA player of all time, and has the credentials to prove that he should be the greatest defensive player of all time by being the 4 time DPOY and tied with Mutombo in that accomplishment, considered by many to be the physically strongest or at least the most sturdiest NBA player ever and also one of the most intimidating, his involvement snowball-effected the darkest event in NBA history which is remembered as the Malice In The Palace, and was a crucial piece in the victory of the most underrated NBA championship win by the Detroit Pistons in 2004, Ben Wallace.

Yes, Bird and Magic were and are legends in their own time. The reason I cloud up is that basketball, of this quality, and players, with this kind of heart, don't appear to exist anymore, and I miss it, with feelings that resemble the loss of a loved one.
