The contrast between Isiah and Larry in regards to Magic is huge. It took decades for Magic to forgive Isiah and also is one of the many reasons Isiah wasn't part of the Dream Team. Magic wasn't going to support him, either did Bird. But Larry, his RIVAL, not only publicly ( and privately) supported him and remained his friend to this day says ALOT on who Larry Bird is. Many reactors say this should have ended racism. I think it is more than that.
Yes and what's crazy is that wasn't unique for the time. John Stockton played all 82 plus playoffs for 18 yrs out of his career. Lost of others. Real men.
Magic and Larry are my favourite players, they was so amazing. Ps: it's absurde to see Larry phisical's condition in the last years and to see how incredible his trash talking still was even in those years (the story told by Jamal Masburn with Rodney Rogers in the dreamteam practice was litterally unbelevieble, Larry is a true legend).
that’s right , ITS YOUR SHOW .. keep the horn ! Thanks for the warning clock though , LMAO ! Great reaction on the series . You still have a lot of Bird research left , you just scratched the surface .… you’ll turn soon !
I love when men are confident enough, to show emotions 💖💖💖 This really touched my heart & as always, this documentary brings on the tears.....I have so much respect for both Magic & Larry, and IMO, these 2 will always be the GOATS in my heart 💖💖💖
Our generation was tougher. I'm 58, started working in my dads shop in the fourth grade. Worked in auto body shops most of my life. Fractured my elbow on Friday, back to work on Monday. Had surgery taking my appendix out on Thursday, back to work on Monday with staples in my side. Different mentality in today's generation.
You raised the question of the difference between HIV and AIDS. My understanding is that while HIV is the name of the virus itself, as the infection with that virus started showing symptoms then the appearance of any of those symptoms was referred to as AIDS. The HIV attack on the immune system resulted in any of a variety of possible immunological deficiency-related illnesses (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome).
You’re spot on. AIDS is a manifestation of a bunch of infections (it’s non specific) but you only get torn up in this way when your immune system isn’t doing its job. I’m happy they could take care of Magic back then, really great that he can still light up rooms with that smile.
HIV/Aids destroyed my people back in the late 70s through early 90s. I’m a hemophiliac(my blood doesn’t clot) and if you went to get a blood transfusion you could get dirty blood. Around half of all hemophiliacs got HIV, Hep C, or both. I was lucky and only get Hep C. Also it wasn’t just us Hemophiliacs, it affected people with a variety of bleeding disorders. They tried to say it was just a gay man’s disease or a drug users disease, but the government knew the whole time. They knew the blood was dirty and just didn’t care until upper middle class white people started getting it and then the pressure came to clean it all up and act right. Raegan and Bush were straight up evil when it came to HIV/Aids.
Excellent reaction video! I've enjoyed watching with you. These two are warriors. Magic took care of himself. But there wasn't anything back then that could help Larry's back. You can see the fiberglass brace in some of the clips, and it definitely slowed him down some. I love these two.
in the 80's, regardless of race, those dudes were tough as nails and they played hurt. Every single one of them. The invention of youtube over last decade has me learning of Magic story. He is one of my absolute favorites and i am lifelong boston guy
And that's the crux of the argument against Load Managment. You said it right. I saved up to see my favourite player in a once of a lifetime game, and he's sitting out. AND still getting paid. While I know this isn't LeBron's idea, but it is one of the argument against him. That and the player injury list. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact when they do play, it seems they aren't trying. Not everyone but alot. And here's Larry, playing like he's trying for a spot on the team for 13 seasons. And the '80's and '90's are crap basketball?!?!? JJ Reddick and the rest of those losers who cannot be bothered to do their research and due diligence and flags everyone as plumbers and firemen and not great shooters and all the other crap. On a happy note, Cooper FINALLY got his spot in the Hall of Fame!!! Well overdue as one of the few people who did a really good attempt to stop Bird...and was one of the few who did stop him! He used to take a VCR and tapes of Bird's games on vacation to watch them and learn Bird's every move. I'm a Bird fan, but give credit where due!
In another video, they talked about how Larry would send him notes and things to keep him up. Like, " get a job" etc. But during that time, there was much ignorance concerning HIV. We all thought he was going to die. I personally had not seen anyone beat it. Truly sad. This young boy received it from a blood transfusion and the horror his family went thru. I believe his name was Ryan White.
The players are property, expensive property, but property. The owners don't want their property getting damaged if they don't need them on the court. How much would players be making without their fans? Everyone involved in the NBA should be giving Bird and Magic a cut.
Magic's #1 supporter was always Larry. 🥰 Don't trust a word from Arsinio Hall. Not only was, and is still, such a racist, but I'm sure he stabbed Magic in the back like Isiaha did. I was in college when Magic had to retire because of HIV and was 22 when the Dream Team dominated the Olympics. Please look at The Dream Team Documentary next. There will never, EVER be a team like them!
I like the way you present videos. I share many of the same traits you refer to in terms of not always being outgoing, so I admire your dedication to your channel. Great job!
People now don't realize what HIV or AIDS meant back then. For one, it was thought to be strictly from homosexual relations or drug needles, then there was the death sentence as well because of how new it was. That's why Magic was asking "how or why me" at the time.
Such an amazing story.....these two men breathed life back into the NBA. I just wish they had kept the game the way they left it.....a team game. I hope you'll continue the story with........The Dream Team 92' Olympics!!! ruclips.net/video/mh31KD2BNw0/видео.html
@@chrispavlich9656 It's the same attitude that was ruining the NBA back in the 70's! They all want to be "the one"...& don't care about winning Championships! "Let me get mine and to heck with yours"!
Thanks for the horn countdown. What a considerate idea! I watch these videos very late at night and it helps me keep from waking up my hubby, who has cancer.
@JonJon great reaction to the two greatest players and the greatest rivalry in the NBA. As a C's fan Magic will always be the first non C I always wished would of been...... just such a great teammate, showman, and passer of the basketball
Great Reaction. I totally agree, best basketball documentary ever. The 92 Dream Team documentary is a close 2nd. I would love to see your reaction to it.
The fact that Magic was able to avoid the fate of the vast majority of HIV CASES is to this day, pretty incredible to me. My guess is that 1) it was caught in the very early stages & therefore easier to combat, 2) Magic’s high profile made finding a cure more urgent & 3) Magic (along with Princess Diana & Elizabeth Taylor) being the “ambassador” for HIV/AIDS education & outreach really helped the public be more compassionate towards HIV/AIDS victims. As others mentioned in the comments, in those days HIV/AIDS was pretty much a death sentence & the primary cause of transmission was gay sex. That’s why Magic was shocked that he caught it because he’d only been with women. Which is why he was so mad at Isiah, bcuz the implication was that Magic had secretly been with men…
LOL Having seen this video many times, I was expecting that reaction to " how did this happen", from you. You didn't diappoint😊, also not trying to make light of the situation😢.
For my 18th birthday i saw LeBron play the hawks his rookie year. Sat right above the players tunnel. Seeing a kid my age warm up drilling half court shots and pulling off ridiculous dunks. Ill remember it forever.
Ty. Jon.jon I loved that best documentary I Ever watched ty for putting in the time and effort to get this out for that was best ty again keep the videos coming pls thx again ❤
You did a great job bro. I could tell how touched you were by their friendship. It’s the way it should be, nothing should matter but the soul of a person. God bless and take care! Hope to see you the dream team doc. Out for now
It's unbelievable to think that at a time when some of Magic's teammates were questioning who he is his greatest rival was checking to see if he was ok.
Ty I really enjoyed that and appreciate you doing this documentary that was amazing ty for taking the time to do this ty again put some more videos ty ❤❤
I really enjoyed watching your reaction. When you were watching those games sitting in the garden all those years you didn't know Larry Bird. He kept that mask on but YOU( through this great documentary) know him now and the connection with magic and it just makes that erosymal the more great right?. You made a comment "Larry and Magic walked so that Michael Jordan could run". That's a spin on something from the New Testament. You used it perfectly and I can't wait til you watch Larry Bird fist fight mixtape.
Great reaction. It is a long one but worth it. There are so many videos I could recommend. One video on Larry's toughness is called 4 crazy stories that prove that Larry bird is the toughest nba player. The dream team documentary is great but is long as well. There is a short called magic and Larry bird dropping dimes at the Olympics. Again great reaction ❤
i have to say you did a great job very impressed keep up the good work, ALSO AS FAR AS STOPPING THE TAPE YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THE LAST SEGMENT OF LARRY NAD MAJIC YOU DIDN'T GO BACK TO FAR JUST PERFECT

Jon Larry legend was my favorite player, but I always loved magic too, I'm a big Celtics fan Larry Legend and Magic saved the NBA, give Larry Legend his props by the way kobe was Larry legends favorite player and kobe had Larry Legend in his top 5 he called Larry Legend Money, Larry wasn't a top 10 baller he was top 3 , don't be bias against Larry just becau😢you was a Lakers fan I'm a Celtics fan and and I loved magic so stop Larry legend was a top 5 basketball player if you can't recognize greatness then your just a hater and by the way you were a little hard and laughed about magic we know how he got it being with all those women, Larry legend and Magic saved the NBA my 2 favorite player's ❤❤
I just wanna say something and I hope it doesn’t offend you. I really like your channel and I like 99% of what you do on there the other 1% being that horn that absolutely makes me wanna change the channel. It was cool at one time, but it’s not original and you seem like an original guy to me. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent, keep up the great work.
Understand that back in the day HIV was a death sentence! There was no known cure, there still isn't that I.m aware of, but medicine had advanced to the point that HIV can be controlled.
there a kid that got hiv threw blood mickael jackson was friends with his family michael wrot a tribute song after he died his name was ryan white the song is gone to soon michael put ryan voice in the song so never judge people
As you said, you have to remember, back in the day it was thought of it as a gay disease. Don't know why you skirted around that issue ( a certain orientation)??
A lot of the aids information we know now wasn’t known back then. And I think when they’re asking the question, how is that possible or why did this happen to me? It’s more in a sense of denial and touching moment and you made some points but then you ruined it with that damn horn and it just changed the whole mood.
Ok. You have seen enough now. Is Larry in your top 5 yet. It’s my opinion that wherever you put them, they belong together. The game they played was outstanding and more alike than people realize.
Hey Man, Isiah Blames Michael For Him Not Being On The Dream Team !!!! It’s Isiah Fault Because Of What He Said About Magic & Bird Was The Real Reason Why Isiah Wasn’t on The Dream Team !!!!!!! So Isiah Mouth Is Why He Wasn’t On That Team!!!!!! Back in 1985 Calling Bird a Racist and Then Implying Magic Was Guy Back 91 !!!! That’s Why Magic Friendship With Him Went Into The Deep Freeze For About 10 or 15 Years !!!!!!!
You need to remember how little people knew in the beginning about AIDS and HIV. There was no treatment or protocols. There was alot of confusion and conflicting information.
Lord, Jordan didn’t have the competition that those two had and especially the conference that Bird played in was stacked. Once Bird and Magic retired Jordan had free reign.
Regarding the HIV/AID topic. Just realize that you didn't live through that era so you don't know the attitude that people brought to the table. Much of it was nasty and ignorant. You have the benefit of 30 years of medical advancement and public knowledge.
don't over think his comment regarding battling LARRY and AIDS I think what he meant was it didn't matter he was going to fight to win which i agree with .
Why are you interrupting the very tender, sensitive moments of Magic and Arsenio just so that you can mock them? I guess you don't understand that back in the day it was assumed, no actually believed, that someone could only get AIDS through homosexual sex. That's the explanation as to why they would ask "how can it happen to me?" AIDS was also incurable at the time and anyone who started showing those symptoms would die through a process of physical deterioration and associated illnesses. And that was unstoppable. However, I also remember that sometimes people would have HIV infections where the disease would essentially be dormant for a decade or so before AIDS symptoms began to appear. I'm not sure that was known at the time, but that would probably explain Magic's condition.
The contrast between Isiah and Larry in regards to Magic is huge. It took decades for Magic to forgive Isiah and also is one of the many reasons Isiah wasn't part of the Dream Team. Magic wasn't going to support him, either did Bird. But Larry, his RIVAL, not only publicly ( and privately) supported him and remained his friend to this day says ALOT on who Larry Bird is. Many reactors say this should have ended racism. I think it is more than that.
THe Dream Team documentary is the logical conclusion. And worth the watch. Not as good as this one, but a close second.
2nd the dream team doc.
@@Mark-r2r9k *3rd* for Dream Team
They took pride in playing 82 games
Yes and what's crazy is that wasn't unique for the time. John Stockton played all 82 plus playoffs for 18 yrs out of his career. Lost of others. Real men.
The finale is the interview with them on the letterman show
I watched 33:35 that show many times!
Magic and Larry are my favourite players, they was so amazing.
Ps: it's absurde to see Larry phisical's condition in the last years and to see how incredible his trash talking still was even in those years (the story told by Jamal Masburn with Rodney Rogers in the dreamteam practice was litterally unbelevieble, Larry is a true legend).

I’m happy they could take care of Magic back then, really great that he can still light up rooms with that smile.
I’m 66 years old and watched 3 friends, all gay men, die horrific deaths of AIDS in the 80’s. Educate yourself.
HIV/Aids destroyed my people back in the late 70s through early 90s. I’m a hemophiliac(my blood doesn’t clot) and if you went to get a blood transfusion you could get dirty blood.

Bird noticed the same faces in the crowd so he’d put on a show for them. He wanted to make it worth it to the fans.
Magic and Legend, Earvin and Larry that's an association I hope to follow for many more years. Two great men that made each other even greater.
You’re so right, you get in trouble you want a friend like Larry Bird by your side!
In another video, they talked about how Larry would send him notes and things to keep him up. Like, " get a job" etc. But during that time, there was much ignorance concerning HIV.

That was a sad day for everybody.weather u were a Lakers fan or not.Magic was all love.And what followed his announcement was heartbreaking
😄👍🔥🏀
Larry, Magic, and also Jordan, are good friends today. You should react to the Dream Team. They took the game international.
Bird became good friends with Patrick Ewing during the Dream Team.

He wasn't dissing Magic
do the dream team video

Regarding the HIV/AID topic. Just realize that you didn't live through that era so you don't know the attitude that people brought to the table. Much of it was nasty and ignorant. You have the benefit of 30 years of medical advancement and public knowledge.
don't over think his comment regarding battling LARRY and AIDS I think what he meant was it didn't matter he was going to fight to win which i agree with .
Most of us old folks never liked Isiah and I sure never have forgiven him for how he treated Larry or Magic. My mom called him a shit stirrer.
And people who stir the shit pot should have to lick the spoon.
All the back tier went to gossiping. Magic went to work. Educate folks. Show them how it’s done. Isiah showed no class.
At that time they thought gay people got it.
Why are you interrupting the very tender, sensitive moments of Magic and Arsenio just so that you can mock them? I guess you don't understand that back in the day it was assumed, no actually believed, that someone could only get AIDS through homosexual sex. That's the explanation as to why they would ask "how can it happen to me?" AIDS was also incurable at the time and anyone who started showing those symptoms would die through a process of physical deterioration and associated illnesses. And that was unstoppable. However, I also remember that sometimes people would have HIV infections where the disease would essentially be dormant for a decade or so before AIDS symptoms began to appear. I'm not sure that was known at the time, but that would probably explain Magic's condition.
Your laughter about the spread of HIV then is offensive, cold, and reprehensible.
Why are you laughing about. Nothing to laugh about
Magic probably was bisexual, Isiah was his best friend and I think Isiah was talked-about as being homosexual
The problem with your generation is none of you know real shit like past generations did. Its analogy.
This man seems knowledgeable to me. I'm almost seventy and am impressed with his presentation.
Maybe because you see yourself in Bird, it’s why you like Magic more…🤔🥹
Magic was with men too, so it’s possible.
You mentioned many greats the only one I don't agree with is LBJ. He openly quit on his team more than once and many folks lost respect for him.
