      Top 5:

      PF - Tim Duncan
      SF - Larry Bird
      SG - Michael Jordan
      PG - Magic Johnson
      With the GOAT going to Wilt Chamberlain....forget the number of records he holds by himself....the 100 point game or him shutting down Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Byron Scott, A.C. Green and Bernard King at 43 years of age.....
      He is the only person in human history capable of blocking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook at the apex of its shot trajectory on a regular basis at the end of his career. The most unblockable shot in human history was regularly snagged out of the air by this superhuman of an athlete.

    Bird was the most complete player to ever play the game. Not one hole, and every part of his game was better than everyone else. He played at a time with the most HOF and beat the all. Even swept Jordan twice, couldn't even win one game against him in the playoffs. He looked like a man among boys. Magic is right, there will never be another Larry Bird

  • @chrispavlich9656

    You really need to watch Larry Bird’s Greatest Passes Re-Edited and Larry and Magic: A Courtship of Rivals. When Larry came back into the game after fracturing his cheekbone, they didn’t mention that he had sustained a concussion and had double vision but still willed himself to bring Boston back to victory. The dude had broken his back in 85 and would have to be in traction for hours before a game to realign his spine to be able to play. Nobody was tougher than Larry Bird, especially mentally. He would eat them up in today’s marshmallow league. No painkillers EVER. He was so well conditioned he could outlast everyone.

    Yeah, I mean think about all the rules the NBA has now to prevent overly physical play - flagrant fouls, automatic flagrants if you hit someone's head, players aren't allowed to leave the bench if there's an altercation on court, flagrant foul if you land in a shooter's landing space, and of course no hand checking on defense. (That famous foul where McHale took Kurt Rambis down was just a common foul - no ejection, no flagrant (didn't exist back then).) All of those rules had to be put in place...which means there was a time BEFORE those rules existed. Well, that was the 80's (and before the 80's).

      His defense was questionable. A lack of dunks, lay-ups, finger rolls and put backs. I remember Larry in the 80's. He was outstanding and by far and away the best player on the Boston Celtics. I just watched MJ's Mix Tape compared to Larry's. Bird is a better jump shooter, rebounder and passer. MJ dominates every other category.

    Considered by many The most clutch shooter in NBA history
    One stat that doesn’t show up . Bird was a savant at running down loose balls
    Game six of the 1986 finals bird is in a jump ball with Olajuwon of all people . I’m watching this live on TV thinking Houston is getting the ball back. Some how Bird beats Olajuwon and wins the Jump ball .
    There are better scorers, better rebounders , very few who were betters passers , better defenders. There has not been a better overall player than Larry Joe a Bird .
    He just knew how to play the game of basketball.

    For someone who is not from this era, you really need to check out the 1992 Dream Team documentary. 11 future Hall of Famers. Magic and Larry were the co-captains. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE was glued to their TVs for every game! Most beautiful basketball you’ve ever seen. It was a surreal time 😊. At 73, I still watch the documentary often and still get chills. Also, last time Larry and Magic played. Hope you do a reaction. I would love to hear what you have to say

    Oh man, I wish you could have seen that era, too. I lived in Terre Haute when Larry was at ISU, and followed his career from there. Just about drove off the road when he stole Isiah's pass! GOAT!

    I was lucky enough to see Larry and Magic on tv live in the 80's. It was amazing. Larry will always be the GOAT to me. And Magic is a close second. I don't really care about stats. Those two were the most fun to watch play.

    • @tom7471
      @tom7471 5 месяцев назад +2

      They were fun and electrifying! The league just has less of that now. The three point line has taken more away from the game than given, in my mind.

    No AI crap here bro, Larry was amazing especially for a guy who couldnt jump high or run very fast, but his court IQ and all around skills and much more made him one of the greatest the NBA had ever seen, his shots were virtually unguardable

    great reaction King of the Mix, you didn't over talk it, Larry Legend's play speaks for itself...I began following Bird and Magic 1979, and the great Dr. J and others earlier, but yeah the Legend and Magic took the NBA to the next level, the crazy thing is, he made plays like this every game- with both hands, guy was unstoppable and always 100% into it, like a chess/kung fu/basketball pit bull...Larry Legend, the real GOAT!

  • @user-uw7yb3vc5v
    @user-uw7yb3vc5v 5 месяцев назад +2

    I watched him he was great! That shot when he got his own shot was in a playoff game. He got his step back his rookie year from a guy that played off the bench in practice by the name of Terry Duerod. You need to watch more videos to get the full scope of how great he actually was. He and magic Johnson saved the league and then passed the torch to Mj. You need to watch his passing videos and so many more to really see for yourself. Enjoyed the video.Bird knew where all his teammates were at all times.

    "I thought, 'Man, that works'" - Larry Bird learned the stepback from a Celtics benchwarmer
    Larry Bird even recalled his former teammate doing double stepbacks in practice.
    It was unclear where the move originated, but the Boston Celtics legend said he learned it by watching a former teammate, Terry Duerod, perform it in practice.

    He was physically impaired.... Dude played with a mangled finger .... Broken back... Torn tendons... Double vision... Broken cheek bones... Achilles issues... Dudes a monster... And he swept Jordan.... The best in the game with these defects.... I'll say this and say it again... Bird is the GOAT

    Larry Bird is the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 club, the only person in NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year, 3 point Champion three straight years, MVP three times straight (When competing against Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Dr. J, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and many more), Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year. Also Hall Of Fame Head Coach Pat Riley once said " If I had to choose a player to make rh winning shot of a game. I would pick Michael Jordan, but if I had to pick a player to make a shot to save my life. I pick Larry Bird."
