Reggie has this wonderful sincere ability to always be praising others. This is a kind, good man. Yes, I miss him playing and time always catches up with us. But, he is a great ambassador for his sport, and, the more Reggie we get, the better.
Whoa! Larry Joe almost lost it there for a second. Got all choked up and emotional. One of the most stoic guys in the galaxy. It goes to show you how much passion he still has for the game and the players.
Larry has cried in public several times. He's pitched fits, been in slap fights, screamed, hollered, and pitched fits. Larry is my favorite player ever. I've got his shirts, posters, DVDs. I love him, but wth is wrong with you young guys? Do none of you have strong men around you? My Grandfather quit school in 3rd grade to work the farms, and worked full time until he was 80. Never complained. I never saw my father cry until my mother died at 60, and he thought he was alone. I feel so bad for yall being raised by weak men.
@@Jmiah-j7vI understand how you’re a big Larry fan but where did your outburst about “weak men” come from? The comments above were praising Larry and his passion for basketball.
Best part of this video! Best Part of Larry/Mamba type guys? Reached the peak and it STILL wasn’t enough! What’s next? They really never stopped to smell the roses while playing… wish Kobe knew the love the entire world had for him… while he was alive nobody was telling that MFR they thought he was great tho 👌🏼, mamba was arrogant enough already 🤣 Reggie is every bit the scorer as any other great! Unfortunate he never got the ring but didn’t chase it & like Larry and Kobe he stayed with the team that drafted him! Much respect Reg
Reggie will always be my favorite Pacer. It's so cool that he recognized Mel Daniels (RIP). He was one of the nicest celebrities I've ever met. Many don't know he was a horse enthusiast/barrel racer and he would compete here in Indiana. Spent many horse shows getting to know him a little. He was a wonderful human!
It is fantastic the NBA got around to bringing the All Star game to Indianapolis and a state that loves the game of basketball so much. The honoring of Reggie Miller and Larry Bird is so good to see, as well.
Man, I so love Reggie, a NBA player who's humble, so rare, thank you Mr Miller, you're a indeed a legend of the game, and you let people saying it for you, way to go, amen.
What a fantastic title! Larry Bird and Reggie Miller are absolute legends in basketball, and it's always exciting to hear them share their experiences and insights. Their stories must be filled with incredible moments from their careers. It's also intriguing to think about the advice and messages they have for today's All-Stars. The evolution of the game and the perspectives of seasoned players like Bird and Miller can provide such valuable lessons and inspiration for the current generation of stars! 🏀✨
I know Larry Bird doesn't like giving a speech, but I would like to see more of him instead of 3 minutes and then that's it, I expected more than that. Love Larry Bird G.O.A.T.
Bird took an F in a class in high school rather than get up and talk in front of the class. That is still inside of him. Bird is a private person and humble.
unlike 99.99% of retired NBA players, Larry likes the direction of modern ball. that tells me that he likes good shooting, and wants the NBA to see progressing. fuckin Legend
What? He was holding back. He can't say what he really thinks. But he did in a respectable way. The nba sucks. Sucks ass. The players are all pussies. He threw out there how he and everyone else played injured. Played every game. Let me guess. U are under 30. The nba is pathetic. I'd u can sit through watching a game thst is sad. They're lazy and weak. Over 50 players averaging over 20. No defense. They cry all the time And LeBron is the biggest example. It sucks period
BIRD A TOP 8 GREATEST BEST PLAYER EVER OF ALL TIME🐐💯❤️🙏🏾😍🙌🏾✊🏾👊🏾🤙🏾😀🥳🥲🥰🏀👌🏾🪄🏆🥇🗣😎🔥🥶 GREAT 2 SEE HIM GREATNESS LOVE HIS HIGHLIGHTS ON RUclips WISH I COULD SEE HIM LIVE BACK IN HIS DAYS LEGEND ICON GOAT PLAYER WITHOUT QUESTION LARRY LEGEND BIRD BABY!!🎉
14:30 They let you down! I understand what Larry is saying about playing without getting beat up... But he's not acknowledging that we're in the era of flopping which waters down the game!
Sadly, that was yesteryear. Today, it's all let's be cool together, not make any effort, just smile and take it easy out there and let everyone do what they want to do. Without ANY resistance. Not even worth watching. Used to be.
They failed. Larry played all-out in any and every game, even pre-season. Boston had a big fight with the Sixers in a pre-season game. You would have thought it was Game 5 of a playoff series.
This is one thing you never saw from the players in the 60s and 70s talking down about the game and players that followed them. The title ‘Sending A Strong Message’ says it all. 🎤 Drop!
well yk some part of that is them and some part of that is medical staff too...ik for a fact no organization wants their players risking an injury for a game that they feel like "doesnt matter"...on the other side these "best players" are so prima donna'd up that they dont care enough either
@@Markese24 no, its one game out of the year every year, ppl dont get hurt every game...but im js these organization prob dont want them to risk anything...wasnt seasons ending but Kobe got his nose broken by Wade in asg
@@Red4350 Only one injured that wasn’t even season ending, again these guys get paid 10s of millions to play the game and the fans pay a lot to see their favorite stars go all out on Allstar weekend, there has literally been no such injuries in the AS games so that just sounds like an excuse to be soft and not actually try.
SPIKE LEE WILL BE KNOWN NOT KEEPING HIS MOUTH SHUT, WHEN REGGIE SHOOTER TOUCH MILLER MAKING LEGENDARY BASKETBALL SHOTS HISTORY FOR SURE AM JUST SAYING FREE DAWKINS GEEEEEZZZZZZ
I hated this guy growing up I'm a diehard Knick fan since the late 80s and he tormented the Knicks and it's fans but he's a humble and respectful man nothing but love and respect for him now
Even with Larry legend up there chiding everyone to 'like' todays game, I do not. I hate todays game and I hate the corporations that own it. Never thought Larry Bird would sell out but dang if he didn't by supporting this dying league and their corporate money grubbing, slick sales masters. It's an abomination.
14:58 Sorry Larry.The All Star game was fking joke, as usual. At least you (and the rest of the world) got to see the real all star team at the Olympics
Lebron James is the most lucrative product for the modern NBA, David Stern and Adam Silver has done a wonderful job promoting the NBA superstars, unlike the MLB, and NHL. And now Victor Wembanyama will be the media daring for 20 years.
It's the first time in my 40+ years of being a Bird fan that I don't agree with his view on basketball. And that is his belief in today's OVERRATED, UNFUNDAMENTAL, RIDICULOUSLY ARROGANT players and the ABSOLUTE GARBAGE PLAYING STYLE AND EFFORT that they DISGRACE the history of the great game of basketball with!!!

Well they let Larry, and everyone else, down again. 103 points at halftime and zero competition.
They suck so much, what a shame, pure garbage game, I can't believe they did even worse than last year, spoiled mfrs....
Bird was disgusted.
It is fantastic the NBA got around to bringing the All Star game to Indianapolis and a state that loves the game of basketball so much. The honoring of Reggie Miller and Larry Bird is so good to see, as well.
Larry got the game there by driving an Indy car down to the office. Originally it was 2021 the game was supposed to be played there.
@@marykuettner752 ah, I had forgotten the game had previously been scheduled to be in Indianapolis. Larry is a true "legend" of the basketball world.

Larry is my man but Reggie is so classy!
take pride for playing hard and appreciation for the chance they got, those days and mindset were long gone.
Reggie still lookin young and fresh !
Bird too. Bird came in looking. Old. 😂 so he look good now lol
Reggie is a competitive mountain bike racer. He is in phenomenal shape!
@@mfr440 never knew this 😯
He damn look the same like back in the i dont know mejbi 94
That my friends is why Larry Bird is my "GOAT"
Larry Legend
I wish the NBA respected the legends better, wish Reggie could be in NBA 2k... wish we had ABA teams in too.
We will see if the players are going to respect and honor last words of Larry Bird, i'm not sure
Not a chance
They did not.
Sadly, that was yesteryear. Today, it's all let's be cool together, not make any effort, just smile and take it easy out there and let everyone do what they want to do. Without ANY resistance.

Larry mentioned Freddie Lewis , i wish he had spoken
More about the ABA Pacers.
God, I loved going to those games in that old barn on 38th Street. Freddie, Roger, Mel, Neto, Billy...good times.
class and respect
Reggie Miller & Larry Bird are my GOATS!
Freddie Lewis- 3x ABA Champion, ABA Playoffs MVP, 3x ABA Allstar. Shout out to the ABA Pacers
Congratulations Reggie Miller and Larry Bird.
Larry Bird 🐦🐦
Ill take Reggie any day...Love Love to hate the Man....but put him On My Team...he can have my Love for the thrill of this Great Game
Larry Bird was disappointed tonight. All he asked was for the all stars to play hard tonight and all they did was the opposite 😑👎🏽
well yk some part of that is them and some part of that is medical staff too...ik for a fact no organization wants their players risking an injury for a game that they feel like "doesnt matter"...on the other side these "best players" are so prima donna'd up that they dont care enough either
As it has been about the past 10-15 years.

Class act
Larry Legend got choked up there
Bill Walton grinning away.
The NBA better hope Magic and Bird come back
Is this the same Larry that some say he would felt disrespected if another white player would guard him?😂😂
So well spoken.
Raise your hand if your tired of the current NBA. These guys dont compete at all.
Damn that was awesome
Reggie Royal as we call him in the circle city. Naptown love!
Reggie is probably the best player ever to not win the title.
I hated this guy growing up I'm a diehard Knick fan since the late 80s and he tormented the Knicks and it's fans but he's a humble and respectful man nothing but love and respect for him now
REGGIE!!! YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!
and then the NBA players decided to ignore Larry Bird's comment and played like trash during the all star game
Big Smooth!!
Sam Perkins. I didn't recognize him.
Big smooth
Smoooooooooooooth
the allstar game was a joke
❤❤❤
❤️🏀🫵🏽☝🏽ALL GLORY TO GOD
Was that Shawn Marion sitting back there by larry?
Spike Lee is such a self-promoting hack.

Thats a well sounding drunk person right there boi lol.
I can't. Love my pacers.
Mark Jackson was there?
Just ask NY fans about Miller Time lol.
Spike Lee doesn't belong up there. Killed the vibe. He made the most racist basketball movie ever. But somehow the NBA loves him.

Oscar Robinson?
