We don't need to imagine what Bird v. Jordan would be like. They played against each other and Bird swept Jordan's bulls twice.
Why not even up the teams talent wise first?
@@catcountry0099, they did. Bird outplayed Jordan with Pippen and Grant (with a literal broken back). He outplayed both statistically and went 3-1 against them in his last year. He embarrassed Rodman before that. Better check the tapes, and quit your you bs.
@@profanepersonality talking about the playoffs not regular season. Add Prime Pippen and Rodman to those Bulls teams
@Exposing CASUALS , it was prime Pippen and Jordan, and he destroyed them both. Keep up, and quit being casual, because you just got exposed. Bird beat and outplayed Jordan during his best statistical season, with Pippen. YOU ARE EXPOSED.
@@profanepersonality If you're talking anywhere between 87-90 Scottie wasn't even in his prime and the rest of the team besides Jordan was average at best. And that wasn't a prime Bulls team didn't even have Rodman yet. Scottie himself doesn't equal McHale, Parish, Johnson etc...
And it's just kinda funny to see you like your own comments btw🤭😁
Larry was SO COLD that he walked in to the first ever 3 Point contest and said "Which one of yall is coming in second?"
You need to understand that Larry was the father of the 50-40-90 club. He was the original.
Young people seem to not realize that Bird is 6'10". And he was a very very good defender. He'd be the best player in the NBA today, easily. Think a combo of Luka and Jokic with more athleticism (true), all of the brains, amazing passer, great shooter, ALL of the heart and a better defender. Unstoppable.
True
Plus, 100x the work ethic of anyone else in the nba
And better shooter
Larry Bird gave the induction speech for Magic Johnson at the NBA Hall of Fame. In his speech that day, Magic simply said, "Larry Bird is everything a basketball player should be."
Jordan said it all "Bird couldn't jump very high and wasn't very fast, but he could read anyone's mind and get inside their head so he had no weaknesses"
I don't remember which team was involved but one of my favorite bird stories was the one where the cheerleaders from the opposing team went (incognito) to the bar the night before the game and bought bird and the other celtics that were there drinks all night in order to get them as drunk as possible so they would be hungover and sluggish for the game. the bird celtics tore them up in the game, not even close, then after the game bird walked over to the cheerleaders and thanked them for all the beers.
Bulls
That was Rodman in a dress.
It was the Lakers
😂 nice
“Michael Jordan made you look slow, but Larry Bird made you look stupid” - “Big Game James” Worthy.
I met a player who played with Bird. He told me about the Indiana game where Bird broke his cheek bone and returned to the game with a concussion and double vision. Bird joked that after the first shot went in he knew which of the two hoops in his vision to aim for. The Celts were leading when he went out, down when he returned and he ended up winning the game for them. He said of all the players he ever saw play, Bird was by far the best.
The hick from french lick was a bad man
It's telling that when so many Hall of Famer's talk about Bird you don't get the usual professional 'good player' or 'strong competitor' lines. They straight up say they hated playing Bird. Who else gets that reaction?
Wayne Gretzky
When Gary Payton is telling stories of Bird scoring however and wherever he wanted and called it, you know Bird is a bad man.
Great reaction. Thanks! Bird was the best small forward ever. Two Pat Riley quotes about Bird:
1) "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan; If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life...I'd take Larry Bird."
2) "He's the greatest clutch player I've ever seen. The hell with Jerry West!"
If there was a draft today with all NBA players available and I was a GM with the first pick...it would be Larry Bird without hesitation.
Yup
Notice how all his competitors from the era all have amazing Bird stories to tell? They didn't laugh then, but they sure do love those stories he left them!
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT !!! 🐐 ☘️
That funny guy you asked about is Terrell Brandon. He was a point guard for the Cavaliers and played with Kevin Garnett on the Timberwolves, too, I think. He made the all star team a couple times and was a good player. He's actually doing a pretty good demonstration of how Larry frequently shot. He usually shot a high arc and if someone was close in front of him, he'd start the shot way back behind his head so that it was almost impossible to block even at the start of it's trajectory.
Yep, Terrell Brandon.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
Terrell Brandon was a true talent, his career cut short by injuries. Would have been an all-time great.
I don't know if you know this, but The Celtics swept Jordan & the Bulls 2 times in the play-offs. The Bulls never beat Larry & the Celtics. Not once. After Larry retired is when Jordan & the Bulls came into their Dynasty years.
Bird was better than Jordan. Larry has an insane intellect about the game, and he could pick up his opponents playing patterns very quickly. He was fun to watch!
Let's see... Larry Bird and The Celtics vs Michael Jordan and The Bulls in the playoffs (when it mattered most). 6-0.
Larry is undefeated.
Bird is just different than any other player in NBA history in how he told he other team what the play was before it started, where he was going to shoot from and then doing exactly what he said - over and over and over again against everyone.
Bird also made his teammates better and demanded the best from them.
One of my favorite stories is told by Charles Barkley , where in the middle of a play while Bird was in the midst of taking a shot, Bird was yelling at Robert Parrish(Chief) for not setting a pick the right way, of course Bird made the shot.
Larry is top 5 ever. To think differently is just asinine.. one of the few players in history that was great at everything... his greatest asset was his brain. Hes right behind MJ if you ask me. Just my opinion... been watching the NBA since the 80s. Larry was no joke.
Mj said Larry did not have a weakness.
@@saintbahm1876 hes not wrong...
… your cooking Bird ?
lol ! Larry does all the
cooking , and he did it
against the best players
in the world !
"If I need someone to make a shot to save a game, I pick Jordan. If I need someone to make a shot to save my life, I pick Bird."
Larry is the kind of player that (most likely) knows more or less where every player is at on the court an any time (Not that easy when you gotta keep a close eye on the ball at all times too). Combine that with being a genius on the court and you have yourself a player who often times knows what his opponents are gonna do before they do. Combine that with an ability to get into your head and you have yourself an assassin on the court, athletics be damned (I mean obviously he was Althetic, but he wasn't top tier in that way, he won't outmove you, he'll outplay you).
Larry was cold.
Bird said in an interview that at every level he played, he would stay after practice and shoot for 2 to 3 hours. That's why he was so confident about his shooting.
I can’t believe u did Shawn kemp like that…all state man?!😂 this is the tomahawk king!
50 through 3 qtrs 😮😅 And like all the others. Kemp was a bad mofo.
He did that notion with his hand because Bird has a finger, shooting hand, that cannot be straightened. An interview regarding the injury said "In fact, the index finger of his shooting hand is mangled beyond repair because of a softball injury. The deformed digit cannot be straightened and is swollen to twice its normal size, making Bird's uncanny shooting ability even more uncanny." Obviously he had to adjust and change his shooting at this point...he was in college at the time.
And his little finger was permanently twisted by about the middle of his career.
All your favorite legends feared this man. Magic said it. Jordan said it. Only man I fear is Larry Bird
Muscle memory makes his shots look effortless.
I'm pretty sure that was Bernard King of the New York Nick's and there was Plenty of Players that tried to imitate his shot. And before Larry Bird even joined the Celtics he injured his Shooting hand playing Baseball ⚾. And he even said that he doesn't have the same feeling in his hand. And Shot a higher average before his hand injury. He was a 60% from outside before his hand was injured. But when he Gets Hot 🔥 Watch Out. Even as the Manager of the Pacers he goes out with the Guys and grabbed a Ball 🏀 and Nails 10 Three's in a Row and had the whole Team just looking Dumfounded.
You are commenting at the beginning of the video about how he didn't jump on his jump shot, and I remember them saying back in the day that that's one of the things that helped him in the 3 point contest was that he didn't jump so he was able to. Reload and shoot again quicker.
18:35 Kdot comedy gold!!! The Cops coming to get Bird LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was pretty good, huh? 😂 Larry would cook all the guys today. Facts.
Magic and Bird What more can you say. It was a great rivalry between the two most storied franchises. First interest I ever had in the NBA when I was young, then eventually Jordan but he didn't have an equivalent rival which was unfortunate (then he played baseball for a couple of years) but the combo of Magic and Bird followed by Jordan really shot the NBA up to a next level.
Bird was almost constantly talking shit the whole game! Lmao 🤣 then he would do what he said he would do.
18:33 the police were getting into position because that was a last second shot, the game was over so they were going to work. According to one video, this was a game winning shot.
19:38 that was one way to keep track of the defender while looking away. Bird was country boy strong. He once played a basketball game after bailing hay. Guys like him are usually a lot stronger than they look.
I remember high school wrestling the skinny guys who had "farm strength" It's different.
Imagine if Byrd had lLebrons physical strength? 60 a night easily
What does looking like a linebacker have to do with it?
You might honestly have noticed the most insignificant parts of the clips possible.😂
How do you not know who Shawn Kemp is? He wasn't anyone of the guys yall were talking about. The shooting in the face story was Xavier McDaniels. The all state commercial is an actor. Sheesh... keep learning. Look up Kemp. Dude was a bad mother that played with Gary on the supersonic. He was scary.
Y'all are hilarious. Thanks for sharing fellas. Peace ✌
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."
21:44 that moment when you realize he also played against wilt.
Bird and Wilt are in my top 5, though I think great players would be great in any era - that's why they are great: the ones are the ones who would adjust to the current rules and game scheme, and still be the best player on the court.
I think it was uh post uh traumatic uh stress from uh Larry uh Bird. He started twitching and stuttering just thinking about him.
Man I'm slippin! CONGRATS ON 3K SUBS!!
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾we gonna keep goin up 💪🏾💯
Wow. You mistook Shawn Kemp for the guy who does commercials for Allstate? 😂
Y’all are funny af, I enjoyed that reaction video
Larry didn't play against too many black players in high school. He lived close to the French Lick Springs Resort. He would go there and play pickup games with some of the black guys that worked there. That is where he got lot of his game playing against them.
The man in dark red shirt is Shawn Kemp a 6’10” PF/C played for SuperSonics drafted #17th pick in 89 draft…..he would’ve been 10 years younger than Bird (drafted in 79) when Bird was noticeably slowed/hobbled with consistent back ailments….showed how Bird was still trash talking and a superstar in poor physical condition.
I love the Shawn Kemp and Eddie Johnson stories lol yo you watchin 420 style lol
Absolutely hilarious reaction 😂 Well done!
Appreciate it
You guys have the best energy. Keep it up!
Appreciate that we will fasho keep it up💪🏾
Heads up. Watch your own video, and realize just how often you say “bro, bra” and then maybe you shouldn’t pick on a guy sayin “aaa” when he’s telling a story. Every other word you guys say is “bro”… A little self awareness, and respect couldn’t hurt.
Take care.
Popcorn ready damn my homies are back To drop some knowledge on us. It's not the same when you take a couple days off🐐🐐 I'm here for all the drama. Larry bird and michael jordan are thee 2 greatest shyt talkers of all time.
Awesome, I laughed the whole time. Larry torched people.
Who do you play for oh yeah the kids in the neighborhood.
That my friends was the greatest white boy to ever grace the basketball court in my opinion.
What I'm taking away from his conversation with Mr. Payton and others is that young Larry was so poor, he never got any Christmas presents. So he decided to share with others.
He talked shit and he could back it up
Never been a NBA fan.. Football #1 for me and Baseball because my Daddy and my husband HUGE baseball. But I'm loving watching this stuff from Larry Bird for the last couple weeks.. I might have to start watching some Basketball just to see if anyone comes close to Bird in this day and age.. I know the game has changed.. all sports change .. but great is great.
They didn’t call Larry the Jesus of basketball for nothing. He saved basketball and made it what it is today.
Jordan never beat Larry in the playoffs.
When he walked in to lockeroom at 3pt contest and said "alright whos finishing 2nd cause Im winning this muther f er
Larry Bird was the Absolute Greatest Player that I have ever watched play. Even the Greats of his era say he was the Greatest!
Bird is the GOAT
The Allstate commercial actor is Denis Haysbert. He played the President in "24", as well as Serrano in "Major League".
Honestly last guy was amazing how much crack did he have 😂😂
Yo that was funny, he said I’ll cook em, Benny Hana,that shit was funny
You should watch Larry’s ultimate mixtape
As a white man who played multiple sports, I was sneaky athletic. I could only dunk with a running start, but Larry Birds shot is what made me a threat all day on the court. Plus I played tough and talked trash like he did as well.
Now at 21:00 its karrem jabar AKA Lou Alcendar
THIS WAS UHHHHH A GREAT UHHHHHH REVIEW UHHHHH. LOLOLOL!!!! LOVED WATCHING THIS FRFR
Larry really DID take it personal.
What made Bird great...was that he was the toughest guy in the league...and then there was the 27 15 and 12 that he would get in every big game and when it was on the line not only would he get every big shot down...he'd rip down every big rebound on both ends when it was on the line...he was unreal
I watch and listen to a whole bunch of black men critiquing athletes and rivalries.
You two are hilarious.
Because, you are you!
Audio quality excellent
You're really funny too. I mean that.
I was a Magic Johnson fan so I grew up hating Larry Bird. Even tho I was rooting for Larry to lose, I knew I was watching epic history.
Irvin "Magic" Johnson vs Larry "Legend" Bird
For the record I couldnt stand Jordan either. He was so good it made me sick. lol
Edit: Great reation. You two have serious chemistry. Thanks for sharing.
Love them both and grew up in the 80's watching it all unfold!!
They ahh had to ahh call the police. 😂. Clowning.
GOAT
If the game is on the line, give the ball to Jordan. If my life is on the line, give the ball to Bird.
I'm dying.....hilarious
☝legend
I like you young fellah, but you couldn't beat Larry Legend in a game of checkers.
HAHAHA Shawn Kemp for Allstate ... LOLLOLOL!
Bird was 24-11 heads up vs Jordan and 8-0 in the playoffs( two sweeps) the difference, Nike, Gatorade, and Prince created a marketing juggernaut in Air Mike. But really Bird was the GOAT that saved NBA... Jordan was clearly the 2nd greatest a little above Magic but HIV cut magic in his prime
Fun!
He was checking wind direction like a golfer with the grass.
Young fellow, what did I tell you what I'm going to do.😅😅😅😅😅
He was a good a passer as he was a shooter.
Allstate guy? C'mon, that's Shawn Kemp.
Have you guys done Larry Bird Was No Choirboy and How Larry Bird Almost Made a Player Commit Suicide? You guys gotta do the espn doc A Courtship of Rivals....do 4 pt series it's amazing, and of course The Dream Team Docu.
ruclips.net/video/rzgXzwZBZgk/видео.html
the actual interview about the nba all star almost commit suicide was hilarious
Courtship of Rivals is an HBO production. It’s a great show.
@@briarpatch720 Like your user name 👍🏼 My grandmother had a kindergarten in the 60’s with the same name in GA 😊
hilarious. at about 19:00 to about 19:30 our hosts got reeeeeal quiet. notice, back in the day no one was taking steps or palming the ball. no one in today's game could play with those 80's boys with those rules in place. period.
Larry’s highlights are great but you guys should of seen him play he could do things with the ball and make the most unorthodox shots you ever seen
Bird The Legend backed it up aswell
What u 2 gents don’t understand is Craig Elhlo played solid defense
You two fools prove yourselves with every syllable. Just Wow
Warming up
Larry's 6'9", he don't need to jump, lol.
dont know why people even debate mj or bird for. mj only took over when bird retired due to body giving out, mj never beat bird in the playoffs bird destroyed him everytime
Those first clips of him shooting, was his Way of Warming up and BELIEVE ME he'd SCHOOL YOU ALL DAY. And he's going to tell you before he does it and your Not 🚫 going to Stop 🛑 Larry Bird. All you Young KIDS don't know how to Play Basketball 🏀🤣 lol. Today's NBA is a JOKE....
The guy you think is the all state guy was Shawn Kemp.
