Larry Bird was a STAR player and I loved watching him! He was the ultimate PRO BALL PLAYER!
Bird understood the strategy of the game. Loved watching basketball when he played.
Danny Ainge is one of the best athletes ever! Baseball, basketball, and a great football player in high school
Danny Ainge-North Eugene High School...First team All American 1977 in football, basketball and baseball. And National College Player of the year 1981 at BYU. NBA champion in 84 and 86 with the Celts. Wow
He almost had a fight with Michael Jordan. Ainge did not back from Jordan.
State Champs in Oregon High School Basketball. Back to Back. 75/76 and 76/77. The North Eugene Highlanders.
Agreed, look for Ainge’s bio video on RUclips. Amazing, 3 sport all-star+ in high school.

Ainge was one of greatest all around athletes of his time THE ONLY 3 Sport HS All American ever. Fierce competitor and also played MLB baseball
I saw Danny play basketball and baseball when he was in high school. The guy's a legend in Oregon.
Ainge, one of my favorite pro players. Happy to hear his reflections.
my least favorite people
Even when he was caught on film while biting a player during a fight......?????????
@@tomhefner6344 I did not know that
Baloney.
I remember when Ainge played baseball for the Blue Jays. His last game in Toronto a fan tossed a basketball towards him in the field at the old Exhibition Stadium
Priceless! 😂😂😂
Larry made Ainge a better player. Larry made everyone on his team a better player.. Larry made everyone on the opposing team a better player..
Larry was the all-time best at making those around him better! Yes, even opposing players!
Danny Ainge was a triple threat sportsman and much under appreciated player. Look him up, good documentary.
So true
Bird & Magic made everybody better around them. They were great leaders and great work ethic.
Brady too@@dennisdoucette9373
Larry made good players into all stars and all stars into Hall of Famers.
Hard core B ball fan for years. I was fortunate enough to grow up in MA during the Bird era. Today's league lost this hard core fan, & I assume many more fans as well, years ago.
Yep, can't stand today's NBA play. Boring!
The game has become nothing but a half-time show - 4 quarters of 3-pt shooting contests mixed in with dunk contests.
@@libertypastor1307 with traveling too!
@@bradfors6872 Right, that too.
I think last game I watched was a celtics playoff game a few years back...This years team may bring some energy. But yeah, the carrying the ball BS and constant dunks is boring@@libertypastor1307
Yep. Celtics fan throughout the glory years through the 00's but I don't even know who is on the team right now.
Imagine if Bird never hurt his back or his shooting hand finger. The fight with Dr J was a preseason game 😂😂
Bird should be considered as the GOAT What other player in NBA history could’ve took a team of predominately white players to 3 championships and damn close to a 4th
Very RARE footage at 1:40 of Greg Kite being useful on offense.
Making Kite look competent might be Larry's greatest achievement :)
I'm stunned he was able to hold onto the ball!! :O
How did Parrish get to be great? Pat Riley or some other opposing coach: "He had to go up against Greg Kite in practice every day." Don't hate, Lakers fans. Kite may have been the least talented player in the Association, but he was a grinder. Helped make the Celts great & played his toughest D on Abdul-Jabbar. That's what role players do
Kite put the hurt on James Worthy, and Worthy couldn't handle it.
Great stories!! Always liked Ainge as a player for Boston!!!!
Never like Ainge when he was playing. But he was a phenomenal athlete. In case some you youngsters don't know, Ainge played in MLB for the Toronto Bluejays.
Anybody ever notice that McHale looks like this 60s-70s actor Michael Sarrazin?
If there was someone Bird didn't like in the post, he would keep throwing the ball to McHale to run up the score on them.
That give and go with Bird and Kite was a rare play
Never be another!!
Danny Ainge, the greatest all around athlete ever.
Bo Jackson
Danny Ainge Played three seasons for the Toronto Blue Jays before 14-year NBA career; and is the only player ever named first-team All-American in basketball, baseball and football - and he did it all in the same year. Not Bo Jackson. @@davidhunt7649
@@davidhunt7649 In highschool, Danny Ainge was a first team All American in baseball, basketball and football. To this day, he is the only athlete to accomplish that. Bo Jackson was a better pure athlete. He was faster and stronger than Ainge, but it's hard to argue he was a better all around athlete than Ainge.
Jim Thorpe@@kinggremlin4574
Bo Jackson or Hershel Walker my picks
OMG.... Larry was the best....
Ainge was also an infielder for the Toronto Bluejays before playing pro basketball!
You were another excellent 3-point shooter. You are a Hall of Fame player.
Watching replays recently I noticed how many times (Like D.J.) Bird would pass to Ainge for a bail out shooter and Danny hardly ever failed.
@@peterhuston9971 he was automatic! He ran the fast break geat too! And he was a pesky defender! Had that dog in him! So underrated!!
“Man you need to retire” damn 😂
That was the straw that broke the camel's back and DR J just went off on Larry. He knew how to trigger people.
LEGEND!
there is a video that theorizes that Danny Ainge is the greatest multi sport athlete of all time. (I put him behind Bo and Deion) BUT Before you shirk this idea, go watch it. He played 4 sports at a top tier level. Danny Ainge Multi Sport Athelete
Love Danny Ainge.....
The picture is distorted.
Look at the American White guys in these clips: Bird, Ainge, McHale, Sichting, Kite. Legit NBA players who defended and scored. And somehow the U.S. just stopped producing tall, athletic White guys? Somehow Europe didn't. Where are today's big, talented American White players?
Greg Kite, getting a pass and not dunking and almost missing.
Bird is the goat. His skin color is the reason he is not considered as such.
I remember despising Danny when he got to Boston. I mean worse than Larry because Larry was enough of a problem.
Being a 20 to 24 Year Old living in Wyoming at the Time. My POV about Mr Danny Ainge as a Pro Basketball Player was never Very Good or Nice, or Endearing, because He'd played at BYU in College. But too Hear Him Talk about Larry Bird as a Teammate, Friend or just as How Great He was? I Can tell that He really Means it.
All prior Opinions now put Aside ☺️😊 & Since We have all Aged, or put the Past in it's proper Perspective, & Place. Mr Ainge was a Mighty Fine Athlete, in His Day. So I'm Going to Say He has Since gained My utmost Respect & Admiration over the Year's. Thanks for Sharing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
wow Princess, not a sole came here hoping to hear all about you... how old you were, if you tell he really means it... this video isn't all about you nobody cares in teh least go back adn read the posts no one was wondering about what you thought nobody cares
get over yourself cupcake, this video isn't all about you
Heard all these stories before from other players. Nothing new here.
Yeah but could he Bowl?
“Whole another “?
You mean like Vlade Divac?!
Johnny Newman was 180 pounds soaking wet. But a great Knick!!!
I acknowledge Larry Legend. Basketball Royalty………but when you look at those Bird hair styles from 2024, some of them look pretty bad today.
realy stupid post there cupcake
Get your grandparents pictures out. Your grandchildren will be rolling their eyes at you soon enough.
Dannie Ainge nickname was CRY BABY.
Loved Boston but Ainge was a weak link in my OP
No.
@@larryyoder4861
Wrong
Bird is on the all time starting 5 NBA team. Singe on the other hand is a tool.
All major newspapers in the country during bird's career were extremely liberal did not back bird, except the Boston globe! Extremely underrated!
Totally idiotic nonsense
