This is why Larry is so loved in Boston. When he came to visit Boston after being drafted. When the Celtics got his bill from the hotel it read $0.00 room service or any other extras. He bought and paid for his own food and drink.
A+++ interview....Chick was awesome along with the Johnny Mosts, Vin Scullies, ...Just an amazing interview, u can tell he loves Larry's game and respects the Legend
Chick wat a wonderful, great human being!! Superb interview!! Asks all the right questions. And LARRY, well hes my favorite of all time!! rest in peace Chick GOD bless ya and EVERYTHING ya did for my favorite sport!! LETS GO TANK!!!
Legend at a glance and watching him interview for your first time I can see some thinking he’s bored or not wanting to be there but really he’s listening intently and comes up with very honest and straight responses, and he’s so dry when it’s something you’d not expect you can’t help but wonder what an interesting guy! Legend- no doubt he and Magic were each other’s equal!
How I miss the legendary Chick Hearn. Made watching a basketball game so enjoyable with his 'chickisms'. Also, a great interviewer as this video shows!
Wow chick and larry have great rapport together. You can see the mutual respect and you can tell Chick thinks Larry is great and he admires his basketball game !!
Awesome interview. My favorite player of all time and my favorite announcer of all time. As a Celtics fan in California, I would always keep an eye on the Lakers and they were on a TV station called Prime Ticket. Of course I'd always root against the Lakers but I LOVED listening to Chick Hearn. He was simply the greatest I've ever heard in any sport call a game. I wish he would've been the Celtics announcer. You can tell Chick and Larry have tremendous respect for one another.
That's why you're a Laker fan who doesn't know a damn thing about New England sports or anything else for that matter. DJ was amazing but Bird was the best, bar none!
@@Jondsmusic sick comeback, bro In a video... of Bird complimenting DJ.... yourrrrrreeeee arguing what here? And thats why youre a Celtic fan, that doesnt know a damn thing about reading comprehension. Wicked dumb
@@nizloc4118 wow what you just said made absolutely no sense. At no time during your incoherent rant, we’re you cogent or useful in shy way. All JD us are dum er for having to have read your nonsensical rant. Please exit the building, that is all
@@Jondsmusic at least spell the quote right.... Did.... did you even watch the video? It was Bird praising Dennis Johnson... not me.... So tell Bird hes a Laker fan that doesnt know a damn thing about New England sports. LMAO
Totally off subject, but seeing videos like this really makes you appreciate the advances in video and broadcasting technology. I still remember when people were talking about their local stations making the eventual move to digital-only broadcast, which meant no more old TV antennas.
@@TheSands83 I hear ya, and can relate to that sentiment. But to be fair, that's likely nostalgia creeping in. That older type of video was all there was when we were young, so it speaks to our younger selves, and makes us think of "simpler times," although they weren't really simpler -- we just had less responsibility back then. I would bet an arm that if you had been born later than 1990, you'd prefer the newer stuff. It's all about what we grew up with. It's hard not to look back at yesteryear without some of level of longing.
He went on in '85 to break his hand on a bouncer's head in a Boston bar after the Philadelphia ECF and then crapped out against the Lakers. Seems he should've taken his own advice that, "You've gotta watch some of things you do" - had he, the C's would've won 4 titles and tied Magic's Lakers and people wouldn't be calling Bird "overrated" now. After the incident, Bird confessed to the LA Times, "It isn't easy being Larry Bird." I believe it. Still.
Chick was an infamous close talker, like the seinfeld episode LOL..I am pretty sure it's a generational thing with those guys who lived through the great depression.
You know that interviewer is the guy who ACTUALLY coined the terms "slam dunk", "airball", etc, and was the first guy who started estimating the feet of shots from the rim? That's Chick Hearn. Father of basketball narrating. That's why Larry and other biggies would do interviews with him. Respect. No shit. Everyone liked Chick and Chick liked everyone.
nonplayerzealot4 regardless of his contributions to mainstreaming basketball commentary, my point is he seems too close to comfort. I respect many people, does that give them an automatic free pass to get in my breathing space? No. If those are your standards for etiquette then so be it, it isn't for me.
nonplayerzealot4 calm down for what? When did I ever cap any of my letters? My original comment was about him being within what my regards are for personal space. Never said he didn't ask good questions, never said he was unqualified, or left out subjects etc. Your the one who all capped "ACTUALLY" and said "Respect. No shit.", on top of listing his contributions to basketball culture and commentary, as if any of that was valid to my original question. If anyone if butt-hurt here it's you. Like I said before, if your criteria for people getting within breathing space is that you like/respect them then that's fine, it just isn't for me. Also if getting the job done was all that matters then why comment to me at all.

The friggin man! Laker fan here but Larry Legend was a baller! He would be feasting in todays NBA.
This is why Larry is so loved in Boston. When he came to visit Boston after being drafted. When the Celtics got his bill from the hotel it read $0.00 room service or any other extras. He bought and paid for his own food and drink.
He's also loved for getting beat by Magic Johnson time after time.
@@TheLAKERSareGodsTeam I guess u missed the 84 finals the greatest finals ever played won by larry
@@TheLAKERSareGodsTeam you are johnny space patrol from the googymoo of poo.
Love how as Chick makes all the fawning comments, Larry doesn't break a smile, and even looks a bit bored, but still gives thoughtful answers.
Class act. No BS or ass kiss. Glad he and Julius settled their differences, and what a great analogy, like fighting with your brothers!
Celtics and Lakers in their glorious hey-day and Larry Legend. I miss the 80's!
What a fantastic interview Larry Bird was, no cliche's, just as honest as can be.
A+++ interview....Chick was awesome along with the Johnny Mosts, Vin Scullies, ...Just an amazing interview, u can tell he loves Larry's game and respects the Legend
Chick wat a wonderful, great human being!! Superb interview!! Asks all the right questions. And LARRY, well hes my favorite of all time!! rest in peace Chick GOD bless ya and EVERYTHING ya did for my favorite sport!! LETS GO TANK!!!
Great interview. Great balance of confidence, humility, and respect; we need more of that today.
This is just a great interview. I didn't get to grow up with Chick as I was from Indiana but the Internet fixed that.
No other player in history takes ISU to the finals. GOAT
Stan Janusas Larry Bird isn’t the Goat
GOAT isu ain’t even heard of now

Great to see Chick Hearn interviewing Larry! Both are great and a credit to the sport forever.

Larry and Chick. Class acts and the best at what they did.
thank you so much for these throwback Bird footages.
Wow chick and larry have great rapport together. You can see the mutual respect and you can tell Chick thinks Larry is great and he admires his basketball game !!
Of course, Chick was like that with everyone he interviewed.
Their child is Michael rappaport?

Always my favorite basketball player.

33 forever
bird said dennis johnson is the best player he's played with ever...... what a compliment lol
I bet he changed his mind by 1987, but still a great compliment.
Great interview
Legend
Larry Legend
great interview
Two Legends
Class act's Chick and Larry!
Larry Goat
Fantastic
Great interview. Was cool how he complimented McHale (emphasized "a lot"), but the big kudos to Dennis Johnson.
From a Laker fan
Sorry for you. Lol
That's why you're a Laker fan who doesn't know a damn thing about New England sports or anything else for that matter. DJ was amazing but Bird was the best, bar none!

I want that celtics jacket replica 👀.
I just bought one from Mitchell and Ness. It was like $160.00 but it’s the authentic throwback Larry bird warmup jersey
Now I want the interview that asks Larry how did he feel with Chick invading his personal space during this interview.
He wasn't. And neither looked uncomfortable to me.
4:35 ... Jumps up from sofa to adjust rabbit ears. lol
What player did Larry reference after saying DJ was the best hes played with, goodwin?
Tiny Archibald ?
Winning time was my favorite show. I guess magic Johnson didn't like it too much. You know him and Jerry West probably had it pulled
Dude is soooo close to Larry's face and he is all googly eyed lmao. I would be super uncomfortable in this interview.
LMAO
seriously! lol
cause chick was in awe of any player especially the stars no matter what team they played for all the way till his death..he just loved the game
Chick was an infamous close talker, like the seinfeld episode LOL..I am pretty sure it's a generational thing with those guys who lived through the great depression.
There is one mic in a big area. Localized light. Of course they are seated next to each other.
Do kareem interview in 1985
Is it just me or does the interviewer seem to close for comfort.
You know that interviewer is the guy who ACTUALLY coined the terms "slam dunk", "airball", etc, and was the first guy who started estimating the feet of shots from the rim? That's Chick Hearn.

VIgilant_Turtle Calm down, bro. Just giving FYI. Chick got the job done, that's all that need be said.

The interviewers face is less than a foot away from his face, talk about uncomfortable.
He doesn't look uncomfortable.
Looks pretty relaxed to me. Chick is sitting in the seat next to him and offering him the microphone to respond.
😂
He was a female that's crazy
What?
@@TrueSkeptic77the interviewer was acting like a broad 😭😭😭
