- All you LeBidiots enjoy your little plastic bubble ring you barley won against a super under matched 5 seed with big time help from those flop call happy refs...it was pathetic to watch "The King" struggle once again to put out "Glass Joe" That's what makes me sick to my stomach when these dweebs have the audasity to say LeBron is better than Mike or Bird!!! I'm having a hard time figuring out who's The goat? I wanna say Mike but i'm conflicted Bird is the only player to my knowledge that has swept a Michael Jordan Bull's team TWICE so I guess it depends who you ask but one things for sure LeBron would've considered him self lucky if he would've Super teamed slithered his way to a single title back when the NBA was the NBA...People say i'm a LeBron Hater and I tell'em i'm just a truth teller but idk now I just might be by default after seeing him act like he really did something against basically a one man show and then beg for respect cause the Clippers pulled one of the biggest choke jobs in sports history? It was disgusting! that was hard to swallow that was truly the first time I WAS HATING ON "The so called King" THAT WAS A FREEBEE FACTS so how can you be proud of that? seriously??? so now i'm sure he's way at the bottom of the top ten all-time list if he's even on there! 1 Mike 1 Bird 3 Kareem 4 Russel 5 Magic 6 Hakeem 7 Wilt 8 Shaq 9 Kobe 10 Duncan who is he better than? All hail Larry Legend The Greatest Small Forward in NBA History by far!!!!!!!!!!!

Bird/Magic = rescued the league from deaths doorstep
Lebron = actively killing the league
Discussion over
Being great isn't just about being the most athletic, there are plenty of athletic guys in the NBA but doesn't make them great. Bird had ice in his veins, cunning, IQ and the guy was a certified killer.
Three other significant differences between Bird and LaBron. Bird came into the NBA after playing in college for 4 years. This gave him increasing competition, maturity, and coaching. LaBron was a high school graduate, and likely 'favored student' as many talented HS students are. Almost no competition, and limited coaching.
Bird made his college team better each year because he understood that winning in basketball was a team effort., and getting his teammates involved meant winning.
LaBron had never faced NBA caliber competition, despite his great skills. He also did not have a good grasp of team play because to that point he was so much better than his teammates. Additionally, his maturity was 4 years behind Bird.
So Bird's first 7 years included 2 championships, countless playoff games, 3 NBA MVP awards, 3 runner-up MVP nominations, multiple playoff MVP, all star game MVP, and just a lot of well deserved accolades.
It took 4 years for LaBron to get to the playoffs. No finals. No MVP.
LaBron is a great player but Bird left him at the starting block.
Moi je pense la question elle est vite répondue
Stop spreading false information. It only took lebron 2 seasons to make the playoffs while his second best players was Mo Williams. And he actually DID make the finals in his 4th season, 2007. Lebron never had a Kevin McHale or Robert Parish or a Dennis Johnson or a Cedric Maxwell for his first 7 years and still made the finals. Bird had all of those guys
@@gggyy7104 While that's true, Bird would most likely never leave the team that drafted him to get a championship somewhere else. Neither would Jordan or Magic, for that matter.
@@Fettclone1 because they didn’t need to. Magic was drafted into a great situation with Kareem and Bird already had McHale and Parish by his 2nd year. Management got Jordan help but Lebron had nobodies in his first 7 years (and still made the finals) and it probably would’ve stayed that way even if he didn’t leave
@Ali Ali lol Lebron turned a 17 win Cavs team to like a 66 win team and the nba finals a couple years later with less help. Bird had pretty decent help in 81 he had 19 and 10 Parish, Kevin averaged like 10 and 5 his rookie year and kept improving, Tiny averaged 14 and 8, Even Cedric Maxwell averaged 15 and 7 and in 81 Cedric won FMVP instead of Larry
Load Management? LOL. This term didn't exist in Bird's era. "I get paid to play 82. I'm playing 82." - Larry Legend.
His carreer was cut short due to back issues. He was a true iron man but i would rather he had a longer career
@@CablixMoreWow 12-13 years is not that short of a career in my opinion. He also completely dominated the NBA from 81-88. That goes a long way in my opinion.
People sometimes forget that in the mid eighties, Larry Joe Bird was considered to be the greatest basketball player of all time.
Larry Bird was a great player, but calling him the greatest was nothing but a hype.
@@DrD3m3nt0 Dude, Larry Bird is on that short list. Top 10 for sure.
@@mysterion5136 Sadly, that seems like a century ago now. When you look at the list of people's top 10, most of them do not have him in there lately. I blame that on recency bias.
@@DrD3m3nt0 Not Hype. Bird was the truth! He could do it all and back up what he says. Cant say the same for many.
Bird is a top 5 for me. He would be higher if not for his short career. Truly a BEAST of a player.
When you consider shooting, passing, rebounding, unselfishness, and Basketball IQ, Larry Legend was the best I ever saw. 💪
Be careful... you will be labeled a LeBron hater for saying that as most of us who think that way have been.
Didn't larry say Michael Jordan was god in disguise? Yeah MJ isnt a small forward but yeah
@@pythro_ The game that Larry was referring to with that statement was when MJ had over 60. I saw that game and MJ was HOT. Just like Larry was HOT when he scored 60.
@@petermadash4488 I saw Larry play a lot and I'd rather have Larry over Lebron.
@@jingqi9106 me too, brother. Unfortunately, we are in the minority. People swallow everything the media feeds them.
I felt compelled to post this to all who consider Bird as a poor defender, that assessment on Bird is not accurate. In the 82-83 season Bird finished tied for 3rd place for the DPOY award. That is also the 1st year the award was created. Bird was on 3 all defensive teams ( 2nd team) and if the DPOY had existed the previous 3 years Bird would have been in the discussion. His standing vertical jump as a rookie was 28 inches, same as Karl Malone. Bird had great endurance, he wore other players out after 3 quarters and had great hands and could recognize the other teams offensive sets. Bird led the league in defensive win shares 4 times and was 7 times in the top 5. Bird was also once 2nd in DRTG and 6 times was in the top 10 in DRTG. If you research Sports Illustrated from Nov. 9th of 1981 issue Bird is on the cover as "The NBA's Best All-Around Player" and on page 84 is a photo of Bird blocking Kareem's skyhook. Toward the end of his career Bird was not a good defender, but in his earlier years = yes he was. And when you consider he created the 50-40-90 club and did it 2 seasons in a row and the 29.9 points per game scoring load stood as the highest ppg for over 25 years, you begin to realize this guy was unparalleled on a skills and IQ and desire to win basketball measurement. He actually finished 4th in MVP voting as a rookie (won ROY and helped Boston with the 32 game win turnaround from 29 to 61) and then the next 8 years was 2,2,2,1,1,1,3 and then 2 again for the MVP. In 1986 he was looked upon as the greatest non-center to ever play, surpassing Oscar Robertson. Then the heel surgery and back issues and Magic and Jordan dominated. Let's be sure to give his due respect.
Well said. Thank you.
Never knew bird tied for 3rd as dpoy... bird the best shooter ever imo tho. Curry is a 3pt shooter. Bird is sniper from any place on the court
@@M1GarandPing mans rlly saying bird a better shooter than curry.... curry shoots mids too bro
And had a broken shooting hand his whole NBA career. Impressive
@@robonurcob2584 Let's call it what it is Currry's a good shooter and it was a privilege to finally get him into the 50/40/90 club but let's face it most if not all of his shots r uncontested no one hugging him holding his jersey or straight up putting him on his ass after the shot whereas Larry was constantly put on the floor after his shot almost always had 1 if not 2 hands basically in his face to contest his shots
shots of which he not only told you he was about to take but almost always hit nothing but the bottom of the net Curry is good but Larry is great
The only reason Larry isn't talked about like Mike, he didn't have the athleticism Mike did
For me I'm Mike all day every day, but at the end of the day Larry is my first pick, to build my team...
Kareem, Hakeem... yes Hakeem at 4, Larry Bird, MJ and Magic. and 2d team - Shaq, Duncan, LeBron, Kobe and John Stockton...not Steph Curry, but John Stock! :))
my all-time team would have red aurbach as the head coach + my starters would be oscar robertson michael jordan magic johnson wilt chamberlain + bill russell
1st pick? 😂
😎👍
Larry bird couldnt run and jump bc that was God‘s way to make things fair - Charles Barkley
Amen 🙏
when he was health larrys vert was the same as moss malone 28 inches
Bird would say MJ but he helped MJ to become the GOAT along with a lot of other greats by competing against each other not playing on the same team... Respect is earned it's not handed out in sports.. I miss that NBA to bad its dead. Guess that truly was the last dance this past summer.
Yeah because no all stars were traded or left as free agents to sign with other teams in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s right?🤦♂️
Bird helped MJ become the GOAT? Thats crazy talk 😂
@@lakeshowbron4747no it isn't. Michael has said he wanted to accomplish what Larry and Magic did. They inspired him to push himself and reach the level he did.
Shannon Sharp is making a stupid argument(as usual). Jordan lost to the eventual champion Celtics, a team that had FOUR HALL OF FAMERS in 86 in only his second season, a season which he played only 18 games in coming back from a broken foot and still willed the team to the playoffs, and then lost to them again in his third season. Lebron didn’t even make the playoffs his first two seasons and had a better team than MJ did. Bird not only beat Jordan but he beat Magic, Kareem and Isaiah as well. So you can’t compare Jordan who got beat by a top ten all time player in his 2-3 season to Lebron who didn’t even make the playoffs till his third and didn’t face nowhere near the same level of competition in the first round Jordan did.
True and it was 5 hall of famers besides the big 3. DJ and Walton
Bird was 22-11 vs Jordan ,he killed Mike his whole career,Bird improved the Celtics by 32 games his rookie year with no big 3 just by himself,he also never had a losing month in his NBA career and never won less than 51 games in a season,oh yeah and he also took Indian St by himself to the finals which is just about impossible
I Had a Female Teacher in Middle School that Looked Like Larry Bird
I love your Larry Bird videos 👍🏀
Love watching these Bird videos. Didn't have these hardly anywhere when he played. I don't think even ESPN was around.
I think the issue is a lot of the people on here including me haven't seen Bird play like we saw Jordan, Kobe and James.
From the little I've seen on Bird I'll take him over James anytime.
I also never saw him play live... but when i started researching him i understood why he was considered one of the best... hes too mich finnesse... too deceptive... too tenacious... hes too great of a shooter... too clutch... too mean.... too smart.... truthfully he is the goat... but i wont say it outloud.. let mj have it... bird is the legend
ive seen a lot of larry and picking bird over lebron is suicide. Lebrons the smae size as bird with all the same basketball IQ and playmaking of bird except he has the athleticism of jordan. lebron is magic if magic could score 27 on a nightly basis with better athleticism and defense its frankly not close
Agreed Larry in his prime was lethal
Where Lebron flopped, Larry fought. Lebron sits out to rest, and Larry dove out to save a loose ball. Lebron makes great passes but, Larry made passes that made us rewind the VHS over and over again. When the game is on the line, Lebron fades, Larry shines. Lebron pads stats in garbage time, Larry cared about only 1 stat, the WIN. Lebron is worried about his legacy and place in the games history, and Larry doesn't seem to give a damn. They couldn't be more different. Larry was all heart and all substance. No facade, no bullshit. Just balled out.
Larry often dove for loose balls he didn't have a prayer of saving. That nonsense cut his career short.
Hell yes he is. Lebron james would never give he's body up to win like Larry brid did. Only if he only had half the heart Larry brid had.
lol no lebron has more longevity and a better peak and more accolades. No argument Lebron is all around better
@@SeeingShadows I want what your smoking thinking lebron is an all around player hell he cant shoot from anywhere outside 5 ft. from the basket hell he's got no free throw shot i mean like AT all he's got no post up up game and no 3 point game with any consistency when compared to Larry and the ONLY reason he's got better stats then Larry is because he's been in this soft league for 6 more seasons then Larry played and even then he's stats r still even if not only marginally better not to mention let's not forget his 3 back to back mvp's 3 straight 3ponts contest and being 1 of only 7 players to join the 50/40/90 club something ur boy will NEVER and i mean NEVER do so please hop off the lebron jock and get some understanding of the game
All of the accomplishments of both players are really incredible. 2 facts remain. Today's NBA is a "no touch" league to encourage offense. Give Bird that kind of space and he would light up the score. And if they did 'foul' him his stripe number would be off the charts. His WORST free throw year is better than LBJs BEST year.
Second, Bird made everyone around him better. In 1986 there was a stretch of 27 (may have been 29) games in a row where ALL 5 starters on the Celtics scored in DOUBLE figures. Find a team with that record now. Too many ball hogs.
You reply, "Well, they were all hall of famers, so of course they could score." Bird made them HOF candidates by enabling their best play. McHale was a great forward, shot blocker, rebounder. But unless There was someone to feed him the ball he would have been just another good forward with some offensive moves.
Bird was about winning, not about his brand. He was about competition and how he could dominate the other player and the other team. Not about his stats. The only thing that was important to him was that "W" at the end of the day. You cannot say that about ego-driven Labron.
In any GOAT discussion I feel you need to consider how the individual affects those around him. Just look at the All Star games where Bird played. His team benefited when he was on the floor. Didn't matter if they were players from his Eastdrn Conference rivals the previous week, he would still feed them the ball for a score.
Then listen to his former teammates. And former coaches. All of them will talk about his unselfish play. You won't find those quotes for LaBron. Ever. Consider what Bird did for Indiana State in his 3 years on the court with them.
Jordan is considered to be the GOAT by many people. But Bird and company swept the Bills 2years in a row in the playoffs. Jordan scored 63 in a playoff game against Boston and still LOST the game. He needed to get his teammates involved more, and when he did went on to win 6 championships. Took a few years. Bird improved his team tremendously the FIRST year he was in Boston, and a championship in the second.
LaBron is a superior basketball talent when looking at his game (except from the free-throw stripe). But a superior teammate? Not even close.
Bird was a regular guy with great skills, and the drive to improve them. He had his faults, but kept them mostly off the court. He was about the cream, and how his play would make them better. You simply can't say that about LaBron.
I agree with everything you said except for the Jordan part. MJ was in his second season when he scored 63 points and coming from a bad injury which his team management wanted him to not play in. Just some context into your comments that you conveniently left out. Otherwise, well put.
@@petermadash4488 Actually, it was in his first go round, game 2, 1986 Eastern Conf quarterfinals. Bulls were swept that year and the next by the Celts. That is not to say anything negative about Jordan. Look at his career. Look at his ability to change his game to overcome different opponents. Truly a fantastic player. It just took him longer to be a better team mate than it did for Bird. And, maybe he needed better teammates... Bird got McHale and Parish in year two. That had to help him having two dependable guys who could catch his incredible passes and score.
Jordan was great once he matured bit, a and got better coaching and teammates. Bird seemed to get going just a bit faster.
And while I like Bird best, I still have to give Jordan the top spot due to his all around athleticism and court sense. But Bird would be in second place with Bill Russell coming in a close third. After that it almost doesn't matter who you add for the final 2.
@@davidherdman9798 again, while I agree with everything else you said, I believe you're missing something here. Mike was drafted in 1984 which would mean that 1986 was his second season, after he broke his leg.
I’ve tried to argue this for as long as I’ve known Larry, this was really good to hear I’m not the only one.
Thank god people have some brains still, these videos keep coming out and I hope it doesn’t stop
Jordan was better athletic but larry was going crazy when I was a kid classic
Bird #1 no doubt in NBA history
💚33🍀🐐
Great video!!
Bird brought the NBA to prime time from tape delay in late 70s ,Lebron brings NBA, to its knees with his CCP involvement and woke politics...
Bird AND Magic. Lets be honest here.
As a lifelong NYK fan,I loved Ewing/Jackson/Strickland/Wilkens/Kiki/J Newman/, and despised Celts especially being Yankees fan from the Bronx. But I respected the hell out of Larry,MJ,Magic,Nique,Barkley,Akeem, Isaiah,Malone,Dantley,Moncrief. Those guys today would have more pts,boards,blocks,steals,etc
Larry bird is the greatest small forward ever period!!!!!!!!
Killa instank mayne 😂
Larry legend, yes, in general and in their prime, he is a better basketball player than Lebron
in their prime Lebron could also defend, Larry couldn't

The golden age of the nba. We won’t see the fans like this anymore.
I think the 3 point line was a little further out in the Bird - Magic era
Great video brotha! Love to see Larry get his due!
Saying Bird is “the best white ball player ever” is doing Bird a disservice because he was one of the best players ever regardless of race. Just imagine the outrage if somebody called MJ “the best black ball player ever.” Double standard for sure. And btw I love MJ
This was so well done . Excellent work. Larry was special
I need that pic to put on a t shirt please let me know where I can find it 🔥
Agreed120%👊🏻☘️👐🏻🤘🏻🥊🥊🥊🥋💯💯💯✅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
So true .... Larry is the best... he understands the game better than anyone else... he was two steps ahead before things happen
As a seven year old, Kareem just broke all time scoring record from wilt. I thought Larry was called creme.
Didn't Bird score 8 points over the stretch of 2 playoff games? If LeBron did that he'd be burned at the stake lol
Mr. Blue, in the 81 Finals Bird had back to back 8 point games ( one game was a 20+ point blowout and the other game was a Boston loss) as Bird made it a point to concentrate on rebounding ( he had 15.3 rebounds per game for that Finals) to combat Moses Malone, and because he drew Houston's best defender in Robert Reid, he made it a point to feed Cedric Maxwell and work against Houston's weaker defender. Bird actually had much better stats than Maxwell when looking at scoring and rebounding and assists and should have been the FMVP in that series. And FYI, Lebron in 2011 game 4 vs Dallas put up only 8 points on 3 of 11 shooting and played 45:43 minutes in game 4. All players have bad games and the good players bounce back and find other ways to help their team win - just sayin.
@Ivan Waters he really didn't tho he tried to make an excuse for bird but just further proved my point LeBron is beyond
@@mrho4speed imagine having back to back 8 point games LeBron and Kobe had only 1 and both of them are leaps and bounds above Larry Bird in the 🐐 conversation Celtics fans mad Lakers back on top like we supposed to be 😎
@@mrblue3879 MrBlue, I am not mad at all. You asked if Bird had scored 8 points over the stretch of 2 playoff games and I wanted you to know what you were trying to reference = the 81 Finals. I do not like when people seem to hate on Lebron, as he can only play against those in his own era. Nobody has control over when they are born. Same goes for people hating on Bill Russell. If Lebron and Kobe are your favorite players , fine. For me, I liked Bird's all around game = excellent passer and rebounder and shooter, and he really seemed to want to win every game.
@@mrho4speed k
Love these!
The hick from french lick is the best forward ever.
Oh man about time someone's puts this out cause people think to seems lbj is that
Ya know after watching this it makes me lmfao when I think about how some ppl make fun and call me crazy about my all time starting 5. Gary Payton, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Dennis Rodman, Shaquille O'Neal. And that's my starting 5 of all time.plzzz tell me what's wrong or funny with that starting 5
Gary does work. The only problem is SHAQ. Way more skilled centers. *cough* Hakeem and Kareem *cough *cough*
Great list, but I would run this:
PG: Magic
SG: MJ
SF: Bird
PF: Duncan
C: Hakeem
Iba naman ang lbj sa laro ni larry bird.. congrats larry bird for getting 12 championship ring in the nva in his era
Agreed!
Finally someone spoke the truth
Legend
To me it's not really a conversation, but wouldn't even be thought about had Lebron not been receiving the benefits of Stem Cell therapy. This stuff must be The Fountain of Youth when you can ball at that level in yr 17 and feel like your 18! Larry prolly woulda just grabbed a beer at halftime. Shoot, Trump at 74 caught the Coroni. Got hit up w/ the therapy and had to be talked out of coming to the balcony and tearing his dress shirt open to reveal a Super Man shirt underneath! I think Bird was way better than Magic also. Larry receiving 67% of the league MVP votes for the entire decade of the 80's! Remarkable stat.
Killa instinct mane!! Fuhreal dawg
Okay I keep seeing a lot of silly comments about it's only Jordan's athleticism that separates him. This argument doesn't work because Bird is better than LBJ while not being half as athletic. Jordan's defensive tenacity is what separate him from Bird, and Bird's mental toughness and mentality is what sets him far apart from LBJ. Mentally Bird and Jordan play on a different plain than LBJ. I would even consider Magic to be there but he wasn't so outward with it. He's more like beat you with a smile. I believe all three of them are better.
I don't know if my 1st tied through 4th best rankings are and/or were on here
#8 hakeem olajuwon #9 shaquille o'neal + #10 elgin baylor
the best players ever literally always have + will be #1 tied wilt chamberlain + bill russell #2 oscar robertson #3 kareem abdul-jabbar #4 michael jordan
Lmaooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
True LMFAOOOO! Lebron is a joke you right on that. you called it.
duncan is not in my top 10,i pick mchale over him
Bird is better then lebron because of his passion for the game and competitive nature simply because he loved every aspect of the game. And he played injured for half of his career
Title is off. Possibly best player ever. I have jordy chops, but bird may have been, my friends.
Does Shannon now that lebron stays in the lane lol when guarding players on the 3 point line
Preach on Face PC Gaming..... Preach on..... It drives me nuts to hear the youngsters put Lebron up so high. They just dont know. And I absolutely agree, Lebron doesnt make my top ten list either.
Lol, the high-fives killed me
I know what perfect basketball is. The game won't allow you to cheat it. You have to be fundamentally sound in order to be great. Bird, Magic, and Jordan were the best I ever seen in fundamentals. That is why they show up in the 4th quarter. Jason Kidd, Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem are up there as well. Kobe and Lebron are extremely talented and were not as fundamentally sound. This is why they are teaming up to win rings and the others won without going to other teams.
Larry, we all love,.possible goat. But if you talk white players, Larry doesn't have one of the all time stat list record.
One player has two. John Stockton.
All time assists and steals
I had someone recently try to tell me that Magic was better than Bird because Magic made the players around him just a little better than Bird did. Now I'm not knocking Magic at all but this is just one aspect where people maybe just research one player and think wow. I think Magic would probably tell you that he couldn't emagin pulling off what Bird did in college and Birds first year with the celtics when he improved those same players by 32 games taking them from last to first. Not to mention Archibolds assists went up by 4 a game and his points improved by over 3 a game. That means he was contributing at least 11 more points a game. That is quite a difference for one player to make. They talk about the hall of famers Bird played with. Some of these players were hall of famers because they played with Bird
McHale, DJ, and Archibald would have been HOF regardless. Parish is questionable without Bird.
anyway the 1st tied through 4th best players ever literally always have and will be #1 tied wilt chamberlain + bill russell #2 oscar robertson #3 kareem abdul-jabbar + #4 michael jordan
Can’t do anything today, SERIOUSLY? Think about how rough that they played, think about the Detroit Pistons “Bad Boys.” Today players can’t hardly look at each other so the NBA is not nearly as rough and who knows without that physical play his career may have lasted another year or two.
I did do + will somewhat like bird
Sounds like Jalen rose loves the bird
the difference of nba PLAYER today and the LEGENDS, all nba players today always argues with the ref and a better ACTOR than a player nba LEGENDS it's just PLAY BALL

he would be better today no question
He’s always been the goat to me just look at his eyes and confidence with game on the line. He played against great big men still averaging over 10 boards I love Mike but overall Bird was best I’ve enjoyed watching. Lebron your a great player but I’ve watched you choke, panic and give up during games. Never seen that from Larry, Mike or Magic they never quit they got mean.
His confidence was really something extraordinary. He was truly fearless.
LECHOKE HAS NO SKILLS..............COMPARE TO MJ.NUFF SAID,HIS FOOTWORK IS PATHETIC,HE ALWAYS WALK,TAKES 8 STEPS BEFORE DRIBBLE,HIS DEFENCE IS OVERHYPED,PLUS 2016 NBA FINALS IT;S IRVING CARRY HIM,NBA create NBA defensive 3 seconds to made big man cannot stay to paint to challenge his shots,it made him easy to scores at will,when you seen mj always had 3,4 man under the basket wait for him,this is the different btw mj and lechoke era,not to mention,this Era refs allow you takes 8 steps,allow you flop to gain free throw😂
wait till lechoke get 9 more scoring champ,4 more all NBA defensive team 1st team,1 more mvp,2 more fmvp,33 ppg in playoffs career,then he will able discuss with me,but he will never surpass me,because lechoke need to teamup with former stars,even mj didn't win before 90,his mentally toughness is still much higher than lechoke,piston beat the bulls,but me didn't give up his team,unlike lechoke James who give up his team again and again😂use"the slave who has 3 father "to describe leckoke is most suitable 😏

@@dudelitte7817 Lebron plays in a league where they play horse it’s boring as hell
bird must have the most soft hands-touch i have ever seen.
If you really think about it Larry was MJ before MJ started killing teams with his high scoring output. That is what Bird did in his prime,just not as frequently as Jordan did.
Why MJ lost to bird‘s celtic without winning one game?
Celtic with 5 HOF against MJ
The 80s were the era of the Superteams: 76 with Dr. J and Moses - Showtime Lakers - Birds Celtic - Bad Boys
Bulls had oakley who averaged 14ppg 13 rb that season which is over 4 times as much as Walton averaged that year 1 of the celtics Hof plus bulls had rookie pippen 87
@@quantumlight2universe12 pippen wasnt a factor
@@quantumlight2universe12 Stop it. Bird had McHale, Parish, DJ, Maxwell and Ainge in addition to Walton. Oakley was all Jordan had.

Lol I wouldn't be surprised
Haaaaaaaa you guys are silly
Larry's all good but he traveled right there 8:30 😂
He’s 6’9
You wouldn't have called the ring fake if the Clippers would have won. Your hate is getting pathetic at this point.
That being said. Larry Bird was a BAAAAD man. His first 6 years might be the greatest first 6 years in NBA history. 3 chips,. 3 straight MVP's and 2 Finals MVP's.
I still have Lebron ahead due to longevity. athleticism, defense, and overall accolades. But peak vs. peak I don't blame anyone for taking Bird.
Honestly, I’ve always said Bird was the Goat since middle school like 2011 because he really destroyed Michael Jordan every time.
MJ could not defend against Larry and I remember when MJ was schooled to the tune of 61 points.
Michael destroyed the Celtics lol are you dumb he dropped 63 as what a rookie or second year player lol it’s just the bulls were nothing like the Celtics that had 5 hall of famers
@@DrD3m3nt0 😂😂😂😂dame goes for bird buddy as a young player he dropped a record playoff 63 points and oh it was Bird that called Jordan god remember that
Lol y’all dumb even bird knew Jordan was and is better

Sarcasm, sarcasm....
Everyone knows that Celtics had no defence against MJ on that day or any other day.
"If mj vs the goat he should've been knocking larry out the playoffs"? I didn't realize it was a 1v1 ....those early bulls teams had no business even being in the playoffs let alone winning ...larry is still too 5 for me ....but put things in the proper context
Yes but Jordan had oakley who had a near all star season that year 14.5 ppg 13rb and next year had pippen
If you don't think bird can play today then you don't believe jokic and luka are real 😂 he has a higher motor than both btw. Bird was a much better defender.
Both Larry Bird and LBJ are ATG's, no need to do cross era comps, it's pointless....
not gonmna say by far but id picl him over lebron
As good as bird is it is insulting to have to hear this much first take voice narrating over his video.....
Best white guy and you don’t mention Jerry West or Dirk...Rick Barry would kill these pussies today.
LeBron would average about 55 60 on Larry Bird. Larry Bird was just not a good Defender at all. And we know LeBron James sits atop of the league with Michael Jordan. LeBron was too fast too big too strong and he shot the three better. Larry couldn't even dream of guarding LeBron
Your insane
Facts=Atheleticism(Lebron) does not equal greatness.
Lebron is easily an all-time great. Saying otherwise is just childish hating.
Criteria for GOAT;
MUST be in the conversation of greatest Hs player ever
MUST be in the conversation of greatest college player ever
MUST be in the conversation of greatest NBA player ever
MUST have won titles on all three levels
MUST be stellar on both ends of the court.. offensively and defensively
This equates to only one player... KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR!

Paul Pierce s d best
Obviously Jordan didn’t beat him cause he was a rookie😂😂and Jordan drop 60 on him so don’t be telling me Bird is better the Jordan
Jordan could of scored 80 points but he still took home the L..... The point of basketball is to win... 0-6 playoffs
bird had a 60 point game as well against the hawks but the big difference is that bird won his game where jordan lost his
Larry LEGEND!! > LeFRAUD "FAKE ASS RING" James
Did Chris Broussard say that Larry Bird would be Ryan Anderson today? if anything he would be even more dominate today because its nothing but shooting in todays league with no defense. He played an era where defense's ruled, if he played today he would average over 40 with an extremely efficient shooting percentage.
That's a complete myth. The 80's was one of the offensively dominant eras of NBA history. Just look at the average scores put up, even without nearly as many 3 pointers shot.
