Is Larry Top 5 All-Time?
larry bird is second greatest player of all time after jordan 🎯... seasoned fans of nba will concur...
MJ. Lebron. Bird. Magic. Kobe.
Larry would just ask “Who’s coming in second?”
yes and WILT is the G.O.A.T.
Wilt, MJ, Larry.
I’m from French Lick… Larry Birds hometown.. We’ve got all his jerseys hanging in the rafters in our gymnasium
bird's form was perfection. he could score any way possible. best player ever, IMO. enjoy discovering larry bird.
Indesputable the GOAT! Larry Legend!
A few other things about Bird.
When he was a kid his father removed the backboard from his rim and then hammered it down to only 1.5 times bigger than a basketball.
I forget who he was playing. But he got mad and told the other team they needed to stop disrespecting him by making the white guy guard him.
Back when the US sent college srs to the Olympics one of the college srs said bird hadn't been able to play since 84. So in practice bird dropped 55 on him and said "looks like 1984 out here doesn't it?"
He pump faked Dominic Wilkens who jumped to block it and and middle of the game Bird said "welcome to the parachute club rook." Then splashed a 3
I think it was against Barkley before a game he knew said "I feel like 46" hit 46 in the 3rd then checked himself out of a game.
Against Drexler he airballed 2 threes, Clyde started talking smack. Bird said watch this, intentionally airballed a 3rd. And said "the difference between you and me, I can do that and still play, you would be on the bench."
I forget who it was against but the Celtics flight got delayed by 11 hours so they spent it in the airport waiting, when they landed the bus driver said it was to icy to go to the hotel so they went to the arena hours before a game. And when the home team showed up. Bird told them, "don't take this ass whipping personal, I have only been allowed to eat hotdogs all day." He smoked them for 40 some points.
When the other team fell off the bench laughing they all got fined. But the reason they were laughing Bird said "I'm going to go down court, hit a 3 while jumping into your trainer" and he did just that. It was also his 60 point game.
Bird used to tell other teams what the Celtics plan was coming out of timeouts, just because he said he wanted a challenge.
He once asked the opposing coach in rhe middle of the game if he has anyone on the bench who could guard him.
Bird once played half a game with a fractured cheekbone, compressed nerve and ruptured disc in his back and still put up 33 points, 9 boards, and 7 dimes. He literally snuck out of the locker room while the trainer was distracted.
After the season and when he had surgery, the surgeon said he had no idea how we was walking with the back injury he had, let alone playing basketball
Idr who, but a famous coach once said. (Roughly) If the game was on the line, I would let Jordan take the shot. But if my life was on the line, Bird is shooting for me.
And Larry's type of player was all around, Magic once said the follow
"Larry is better than me"
"Larry is the best all around player"
"The only player I fear is Larry Bird"
Barkley once said:
"God made Larry slow and unable to jump so everyone else has a chance"
Oh and when he retired, he had a clause thay his contract renewed for 5 mil Aug 15. He retired Aug 12, and when he told the Celtics GM he was going to retire, the GM asked him if he knew what rhe day was and to take 1 week to think about it. Larry told him he knew what day it was, and he was retiring. Dude went out of his way and saved them a few mil so they would have cap space next season.
He's the only guy who has a MVP as a player, Coach of the Year, and GM of the Year in the NBA.
Larry Bird won the shooter contest 3 times in a row. His 3 mvps are in a row. Those 3 mvps are rarity in the NBA. They made him the third player in history to do it. So far, I haven't heard of any player doing 3 in a row since.
As part of his 1st 9yrs he started with ROY and finishing 4th, then 8 straight years of finishing 1st or 2nd. It wasn't just 3 MVPs in a row.
DUDE, Pierce and company would not have had a chance against the 86 Celtics. Really.
Larry did not hurt his back while chopping wood but when he build the entrance road to his mums house by himself. he also didn't just have a cuncussion when he fell straight on his face in the match against the pacers but fractured his cheek.
The left hand game is constantly misquoted, according to Bill Walton of the Celtics Larry only played 3/4 with his left hand, in the end he had (27) points with his left hand and 47 points total for the game -- still a killer performance
It is not constantly misquoted this is the usual quote
The actual number of pts that he scored with his left hand in 3 quarters that night was 22.
wait until you see "Larrys most amazing passes/re-edit" video, youll be well entertained
The quote is true I'm saving my right hand for the Lakers. However, the reason bird made the left-handed comment and torture Jerome Kersey was because Portland was the one team that beat him at home and he didn't want to listen to it from the Press.
Lol 😂 Larry dominated the NBA for 9 years in a way that is still awe inspiring. After winning ROY and finishing 4th in the MVP, he ran off a string of 8 years in a row where he finished 1st or 2nd. It wasn't just 3 MVPs in a row.
Larry Legend and Magic saved the NBA 2 🐐🐐
That video didn t even mention DJ. One of the best point guards to ever play the game and regarded by Larry as the best basketball player that he ever played with.
Larry actually broke his back in 1985. Paving a driveway for his mom's house.
he then injured two other times. Once of these injuries he kept secret until he retired.
I've never heard that one before. He broke his back falling on the floor and he might have tweaked it more doing whatever he did for his mom. But that story is apocryphal
@@marktalbott3835 I replied with a link to a news article about him injuring his back in 1985. His dr said he FIRST injured it in 1985. But it seems to have been deleted.
Let's see if this gets deleted. Here's his dr talking about it
ruclips.net/video/-tR4JjeaAU8/видео.html
@@marktalbott3835 Which story is apocryphal?
@@busterkeaton1001 that one
The Trailblazers beat them at home for the only loss at home - hence the left handed game. It was revenge but also he played a lot with his left hand during other games. It’s one reason he was hard to guard, they didn’t know which hand he’d use.
Larry Bird was such a great shooter especially in the clutch and his skillset was so high that not only was it hard to guard him it was damn near impossible. James Worthy sums it up best......"I'd much rather guard Michael Jordan than I would Larry Bird. He couldn't run that fast and he couldn't jump that high but there were just some sleepless nights." Larry Bird was and still remains the most complete basketball player who has ever lived.
@@babaoriley3549 he was definitely a savant. I don’t think he really even thought about what to do, he just instinctively knew what to do and had the amazing hand eye coordination to actually do it. I’ve said on another post, and my medical gummy has kicked in 😎 so I’ll repeat myself. Shooting a basketball is purely mathematical in that it’s a function of angle, velocity, distance, height, etc.. Calculus and physics textbooks contain homework problems using basketball as well as other sports. I think a part of his brain could calculate that crap and store it for future use.
Sam Bowie was a beast in that game, he sure was not a bust
Best small forward ever
With 50 out of 51 home wins in a year you were basically guaranteed a win anytime you went to the Garden. It's easy to see why so many people in the Boston area grew up idolizing Larry Bird.
Larry Bird played his left hand game against the only team that neat celtics at home that year to show what payback is
Helped that WSBK Channel 38 in Boston was prominently featured in the lineup of the biggest cable television company in the Northeast and televised most of the games. It greatly expanded Bird's influence and recognition outside of Boston.
Correction around the 3:05 video mark.....Magic was not a "senior" but a sophomore for the NCAA Championship game with Bird.
Yes. Larry’s college career, he took a nobody “Cinderella” team on a 33-0 ride to get to the NCAA finals & his team lost to Magics team because Magic’s team doubled Larry the entire game, basically hamstringing the Sycamores who were only average without Larry.
Larry also had an immediate impact on the Celtics who had had several disastrous seasons prior….Larry created the single greatest turnaround in franchise history of 32 game improvement from 29 wins to 61 wins & all this before Parish or McHale were brought aboard.
Here's the newly discovered video of LARRY BIRD that you should react to:

Thanks Trump voter!
@@marktalbott3835 A magalardo moron?
You are becoming my favorite man,love your vids❤❤ tysm for posting
When Larry Bird won 3 straight NBA MVP’s in a row the year before the streak and year after he was 2nd in MVP voting!!
Potentially Larry was the NBA MVP for 5 straight years…
Wrap your noodle around that one…
Actually it was 8 straight years of finishing 1st or 2nd. Not 5.
Magic was a sophomore.. !! Narrator didn't do homework
I saw somewhere else, that the coach that fined the players of the opposing team for celebrating Larry, during his 60 point game, was doing it too. He was caught by someone, talking about it and congratulating that person he was speaking with and getting the same in return. Yeah, the coach got caught celebrating Birds greatness, just before the three on the bench were busted doing the same thing. He fined them right after that.
Thx drippy I really enjoyed that ty 👍☘️🐐🏀
He finished first or second in mvp voting 6 years in a row. Nuff said.
He also broke his hand playing baseball in the offseason after he was drafted by the Celtics and was so worried about the repercussions that he hid it and never healed correctly and he later claimed years later that he was never the same shooter as before when he hurt his hand.....😐
Must react to the greatest college scorer of all time, Pistol Pete. He also played in the NBA but injuries also mares his career. I read a story that Larry Bird had a severe lower back injury his 2nd year in the NBA. He and his father decided to lay down cement for his mothers driveway.
Larry’s father committed suicide in 1975, just before Larry was due to start college. (His parents had divorced the previous year)
Larry started in the NBA in 1979… and injured his back in 1985, while shoveling gravel for his mom’s driveway.
But even before his back injury, he’d kept playing through other injuries that would have had most players riding the bench for at least a few games.
Bird is one tough badass mf’er.
It drives me nuts that the guy who made this video said Bird hurt his back chopping wood when it’s a well-known fact that the injury was from shoveling gravel !
His father died before he went to the NBA and I think even before he went to Indiana St.
Bird's dad passed away when Bird was 18-19 after he had left IU but before he went to ISU. Bird first hurt his back in 1985 shoveling gravel while putting in the driveway at his mother's house.
Why can't people be more judicious about saying somebody is the best ever at whatever it is. It's your opinion. Please stop spouting it like it's objectively true. Got to hate these takes
He mvp 3 times and was in second standing 7 times.facts
1st or 2nd for 8 straight years.
86 Celtics: Dennis Johnson (best defensive PG in NBA at time) and in HOF, Larry Bird hof, McHale Hof, Parrish Hof, Walton Hof....one (bill Walton) not in his prime, but five hall of famers on that team.
Walton gave the Celtics everything he had left and as always was the best passing big man of all time. Part of the reason why the 86 team is so revered. They might go undefeated for a whole season against the teams out there today.
Lebron and Jordan never turned a team around by themselves
33-0 his senior year...And the Trash Talking, if you're thinking MJ was the king of trash, he said he learned it from Bird. It's in one of these videos.
THE OTHER FACT THAT IS RARELY HIGHLIGHTED IS THE FACT THAT BIRD NEVER SHOT A 3 POINTER UNTIL HIS ROOKIE YEAR IN THE NBA. JUST CHEW ON THAT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch ai mixtape, grant hill mixtape, penny hardaway I think you’ll like those alot
🫡
Ever??? Yep. Go watch the video called the beautiful game.
Check out Jason Williams, White Chocolate
he didn't score all his points left handed about half
22 pts through 3 quarters.
Ever.
Bird played the left handed game against the inly team that beat celtics at home.
Bird gave passes to mchale and let him
Break celtics tecord to piss off his high school bully who was guarding Mchale.
Bird achieved the 60 points game 9 days later to break the mchale record of the celtics team to take record back 9 days later.
Important details to chow that he was killer. Mercyless winner
Also he would win 6-0 Jordan. And was player of the game even in his last full season of career when playing Jordan.
Mercilless winner. Not joking ad a player but serious player
Up to this point in organized basketball history?……no doubt in my mind top 5. Wait did that guy just say Luka wasn’t athletic???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣. People are going to have to find a better way to say some of these top guys don’t pass “the eye test” cause it’s absurd to me to watch high level pro athletes actually get called not really athletic. They move in such a way on some nights that makes their opponent look slow and foolish!!! Sorry one of my hang ups. 😏 that’s like watching sprints in track and calling 7 of eight runners “slow”.
Liked the upload
The big 3? Nope. I'm taking Larry them
Say what?..Lamar wasn't even born yet.....It's Larry BIRD Dude!!!!!
No way
🐐🇸🇪❤️👌🙏🙏🙏🙏😇
I have to say that you're doing a pretty good job here. On all your videos although there's nothing really new. I do have to call you out I'm wearing a Ray Lewis shirt. Dude.. that man should have gone to prison. He was an accessory or possibly a player in the murder of someone just before the super bowl. He got away with it clean. But that doesn't make him a good dude
youve herd of mchale?.....mchale is top 20 player ever......chech out mchale video.
30.3 ppg - without a three point line.
Still not as high as Pistol Pete, who scored over 40 ppg - also without 3 pointers.
Im 25 and the 1986 team was 100% better than the 08’ team
Neveragain
Where does this myth come from that he wasn't athletic? You cannot play pro sports if you're not athletic.
So ten calls for mvp
He swept Jordan even with pippen.
If you want fights watch hockey
Thats whats crazy, McHale and Parrish were average at best, Bird did really single handedly change that team, he didn't have no Kareem's or Worthy's
They were not average they are among top players ever but not at that level
How in the world you could call "the worm" average is beyond comprehension. He averaged almost 60 percent shooting for his entire career. There was nothing average about one of the greatest post up men who has ever played and there was nothing average about his unlimited arsenal of post up moves. The "slippery eel" was my personal favorite and impossible to defend.
@@babaoriley3549 Well it's not just me , its the basketball world, you hear about Rodman, you hear about Worthy, you hear about Kareeem, you hear about Pippen, you never hear of McHale or Parrish. All of those would be above average on their own (excluding the Celtics ones) :)
@@AgenteusaRR I understand what you mean. It is interesting to note that even to this day when we are discussing who the best 3 were it's always a debate between Magic, Worthy, Jabaar and Bird, McHale, Parrish. All six of these players are HOF'ers and you don't get into the HOF by being "average."
Really bad assessment of Parrish and McHale. Larry had just as much talent around him as Magic did. But the East was where the 76ers were and they were just as good as the Celtics for the 1st half of the decade. Also the Pistons were in the East and they were great for the 2nd half of the 80s.
Did this man just question whether the 86 Celtics were the best Celtics team ever or not? Fam stop it... Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen were past their primes my guy... And none of those guys are Top 10 all-time players lol... Celtics had 5 HoFers on that team and one of them was a Top 10 player all time... Why is this even a debate lol
Top 3 player all time
Larry Bird himself has said that the dream team was the second best team he ever played on. I'll go to my grave believing that there is no team before or after that could have ever beaten the 85-86 Celtics. They were, by far, the greatest basketball team that I have ever seen play.
My man. Kevin mchale was like hakeem olajuwan at power forard and i dare say he had better moves in the post and kevin mchale was a unbelievable asset and i could never stress that enough kid. Look at lenny bias if you dont know young man.
Everyone knows what ive felt since 1979. Lenny bias would have got em 5 if bird gave him the green light. Reggie lewis was also a blow to celtic fans. But ive had my heartbroken but in sports the one thing i wondered. They couldve rewrote what bird single handedlycarried them.
