That steal by Bird to DJ. Those two were just in sync at another level. Even watching that steal in slow motion I dont know how DJ reacted that quick to receive the pass and cut to the hoop. The pinnacle of ‘team’.
Larry took a team and gave them an extra 32 wins, then he took them to the NBA finals in his second season. I don't want to ever hear anyone say Larry played with better players than LeBron did.
Never grew tired of watching Larry or M.J. Play. The two best clutch players I have ever seen! Can you imagine how they would dominate in the current NBA with no defense being played? Lol
Bird steals the ball! The greatest play in NBA history. Boston is done! Finished! Deader then fried chicken! Put a fork in 'em! No hope! No chance! It's all over but the shouting! Boston is old! They are injured! Beatup! And Bird steals the damn ball!!! How in the hell? Bird is so f---ing good, it's beyond words. It's been 31 years and I still don't believe it happened. Bird steals the ball?! Are you kidding me!
@@sportjunkie5286 Thank you for the acknowledgement. I've watched that play a million times and still can't believe it. It's not just the steal. It's Bird's ineffable anticipation.

@Clem Cornpone LeBron is trash lmao. Most overrated stat stuffer of all-time. 3-6 in finals....'nuff said. It's too bad he moved to the West, as he'll never sniff the NBA finals again without another superstar or two. Was hoping he'd break the record for worse finals record ever. Shit, he only made it to the finals without a superstar ONCE....and that was in the East where teams with a losing record made the playoffs LMAO. Simply put, Bird is better. Get over it.
@Clem Cornpone What's hilarious to me is that there are 100's of Larry Bird videos on youtube. And like clockwork....within every single one of them....black racists go out of their way to attempt to claim that Bird is overrated or that only white people think he's TOP 5 or to ignorantly claim that Lebron is better...IN EVERY SINGLE Bird video. They go out of their way to post negative shit about him because Bird's greatness bothers them SO MUCH. Larry Bird retired in 1992. And to this day the fact that he dominated the greatest black basketball players in NBA history still royally pisses off racist black NBA fans. They just CANNOT seem to get over it. They don't listen to how revered he is by the greatest black players that played against him. They don't watch the vast amounts of his highlights. They allow their racism to cloud actual facts in regards to Bird being a TOP 5 player. They say stupid shit like LeBron James is better and choose to ignore the fact that Lebron put Bird in his TOP 3. Racist blacks hate Larry Bird more than David Duke. They cannot get over the fact that a white basketball player DOMINATED every black player he played against in the NBA's greatest era. IT'S 2019...ALL OF YOU BLACK RACISTS NEED TO GET THE FUCK OVER IT.
The guy with his shirt unbuttoned during the NBA finals Celts/Lakers yelling "4 seconds" is Six Chin Louie, legend has it, he ate 14 large Regina Pizzas in Bostons north end in 9 minute's
Look at how mangled Larry's right index finger is. It's frightening how much his scoring average would've been had he never broken that finger in the Summer before he turned pro.
Laimbeer started backing up when Thomas passed the ball. I always felt that was the reason for the steal...not a bad pass. But, they still forgot about Bird.
You're right and a time out should have been called by someone. All I'm saying is that if Laimbeer would have taken a step forward or even stood his ground, Bird wouldn't have been able to step in front of him. Meeting the pass is taught in elementary school as a basic fundamental. Having said that, I'm a huge Bird fan from Indiana. I watched that game live and jumped out of my chair when Bird stole that pass....and I hate Laimbeer.
Robert Swift actually take Bird’s swagger and put it in Lebron and you would have an unstoppable force. Lebron is a very intelligent player in his own right but he doesn’t have the real swagger that Bird had
@@CaptWuppazz Has LB ever told the opposing player he was going to "get the ball right here, and I'm going to shoot it in your face"? Serious question. Cuz Larry did . . . on multiple occasions.
Guess you missed the part where they said Bird improved the team's win total by 32 victories in his first season with the Celtics. They went from 29 wins the year before Bird arrived in Beantown to 61 wins in Bird's rookie year. Russell had been retired for over a decade when Bird joined the team and they had just came off of back-to-back losing seasons.
Larry Bird was know to be a dirty player due to the physical skills he lacked despite being a good ball shooter. Michael Jordan explains about Bird and Limber in this RUclips video: Michael Jordan on The Arsenio Hall Show (1990).
Just listen to the other NBA superstars talk about Larry. That's the people who SHOULD KNOW who are great. Ask any player from Bird's era who ever played against him and they ALL say the same thing. He was unstoppable by anyone. He would be even more dominant in this new, "can't touch him" league.
I remember bird saying he’d always be looking at I believe Bobby Orr’s banner hanging from the rafters during the national anthem? Did I remember that correctly?
The only thing I question about Bird if he played today is his lack of lower body strength. His skill level is unmatched, but his lower body strength, if it were the same, he may get pushed around like KP is currently being pushed around.
acorn sucks lmao. Gtfoh Bird was a double digit rebounder for his career. You remember him taking boards away from Moses Malone or are you too young to have seen any of those games.
He would also have access to all the modern facilities and know more about how to keep your body in shape. Diet, strength training etc. And sure as he'll wouldn't have been allowed to pick up a shovel on the off season. Damn. He would do just fine in today's league.
He would have been fine. Probably would have more penalty shots until they would give up. He found open space in paint and he would do just fine in a more open court. He would be just as effective at psyching out his opponents. His kind of trash talk couldn’t be penalized.
Best prime ever. 3 straight MVPS at the league's height.

Arnay Murray Isiah Thomas explains that Bird didn’t step on the baseline by tiptoeing “like a ballet dancer”.
DJ was no joke in his own right...and playing on that team with Bird he no doubt expected something like that might happen.

*LARRY BIRD WAS THE BEST ALL-AROUND PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY.*

Bird is smart on and off the court. Notice at the end he says, “give it 100%” instead of 110%. He knows there’s no such thing as 110%...lol.
...stepped in front of Laimbeer to steal the pass from Isaiah.....makes it all that much better.
The only man to win three consecutive mvp’s!!!
Dice is right. All 3 of 'em did it. Interesting lil tidbit there. The Bird will always be my favorite, though. Russell isn't far behind..
Bird is simply sensational and I'm a Laker fan, old school Lkers of course (showtime).

He was better than anyone on the Lakers back then.
The Lakers were a hell of a team back then, and getting to watch them against the Celtics was almost priceless.

This should be shown to every celtics rookie,and they should look up to bird
