Still to this day, I am smiling at the fact that Bird was so clutch against Jordan and Pippen … two of the games best defenders were no match for Bird … even old Bird.
Always good to see Scottie so aggressive offensively, you knew he had the ability to get 30 when he wanted to but I guess as part of the triangle, that wouldn’t be necessary with him developing into the main facilitator. Awesome upload, looking forward to the remainder of the season!
It's too bad that in 1990/91/92 the Celtics couldn't get to the ECF and face the Bulls. Especially in 91. We got to see Bird vs Jordan in the playoffs in 86 and 87. But unfortunately that was it. They never faced each other in the playoffs from 88-92. And I'm a Celtics fan but I'm sure Jordan would have liked a little revenge vs Bird to make up getting swept twice !
these individual statistics are ranked in this EXACT order the #1 rebounding from bill russell #2 shotblocking from bill russell #3 scoring from michael jordan #4 scoring from larry bird #5 passing from bob cousy and #6 passing from john havlicek and these five legends are ranked in this EXACT order #1 bill russell #2 michael jordan #3 larry bird #4 bob cousy and #5 john havlicek
Two things you rarely see...Pip getting beat on defense and MJ getting his game winner blocked. S'aight though, they would get it all back for almost a whole decade.

Larry Bird vs Michael Jordan epic

3:03 Larry just doing whatever he wants.
Sick
And they talk about how Jordan used to get the easy calls. It was actually the opposite... MJ would get hammered in the '80s
Man what an awesome game that had to be, bird drove Phil nuts (in more ways than 1)

Larry-true GOAT
The last shoot was blocked by Parish, not McHale
Even MJ had too cry a couple seasons 😂 23🐐🏀 pistons and Celtics where still good

larry Bird was to the SF what Nikiloa Jokic is to the C position such a great player comp, their instincts are top notch!
😂😂
Jokic is nowhere NEAR a Bird. Bird played crazy defense and had hustle in his younger years.
1989?
Yes
The 89-90 season
This wasn't even prime bird
It wasn't prime Pippen and Jordan was still developing as well.
@@renzopeterson153 Prime Jordan.
@@renzopeterson153 jordan was essentially prime. Bird was coming back from serious injury
@@renzopeterson153this was MJ Prime..
Definitely not prime Bird but it was his last great season.
