Bird was always in the ZoNe ! Nice music to edit by & to share. I can see you gittin' into the whole deal....lol, merging Bird's wild style w/ his mates, editing it in a timely manner, and your true enthusiasm as I watch you watching Bird FLY ! Kudos man, young dudes do not normally know about this Man..... He'd be telling teams that he felt insulted b/c they put a white guy to cover him & that's funny as sH!Te to hear. And then he'd tell the other squad exactly how he was gonna score & He DiD IT ! A rare "BIRD" is what that man is..... He made it fun but perhaps his best weapon was his mental prowess ~ mental game is key b/c it's what gives you the ability to finish up after you sprained an ankle or to overcome any of many things that cause some to lose. His head was in the game - you can't flip behind the back or over your head backwards when you can't see the guy. Those passes/assists stand on their own. He was mentally aware of everything & trash talking ain't bad if you make the shots. Sorry bout my multiple posts ~ I digg how you delivered on this video, I've seen a few & I like yours best. peace
He was unpredictable, clutch, scrappy, unselfish, quick witted, a sharp shooter, hard to defend, fun to watch he played with heart. His team developed into an elite passing machine. And he was passing like this in high school. His greatest passes (re-edit) has quite a few of the ones in this one, but many more. He led his team by example.
Bird's bag was so deep he put the whole NBA in it. Not only is he the best all around basketball player of all time but hes also a perfect role model. Worked hard, only care about winning, personal achievements didnt mean anything, and losing deeply affected him. Hes also the best trash talker of all time. Another video you should check out "Larry Bird Stories that prove hes the best trash talker"
It's not that personal stats/achievements didn't mean anything, it's more that he used them kinda as stepping stones on his way to the W. He would do things like find out the scoring record in a particular arena and then beat it, because he wanted that challenge.
He said he hates it when a player just stands and watches a ball go out of bounds. I always loved his grit. Heart and hustle, and will to win. So much fun to watch.
Larry always knew what he was going to do with the ball before it was in his hands and would catch everyone off guard with his immediate split second decisions. He was not only a great scorer, but also a great rebounder and passer. He averaged about 24.6 pts/ 10.2 rebounds/ 6.6 assists per game for his career. Won 3 consecutive MVPS, 3 consecutive 3 pt. Contests and 3 Championships.
Love it! You're the first I've seen that didn't complain about the music in this one!! 😊❤ There literally was not a shot or a pass or a steal for that matter that Larry couldn't make. And if you didn't notice, he did both with both his right or left hand. That was another thing that made him impossible to guard.... You definitely need to check out next... Larry Bird Greatest Passer ( re-edit with new footage)
I am 66 and saw Larry play 8 times. It wasn't just a game it was an experience. I thank my stepfather for being a Celtic fan and introducing me to the NBA. I don"t watch any more. Todays game is soft and boring. Glad I was able to witness history in person. Larry is my Goat and also more important is that he is LARRY THE LEGEND!!!!
its a great basketball sense or mind. He knew where every player was and how they would move. double and even triple teamed and still made the shot or great pass.
Watched nearly every Celtics game in the first half of his career. He did something amazing at least once every night. Some games he didn't have his shot going but was still grinding and would end up with 18 rebounds and 12 assists because all he cared about was winning.
Today's League ... No Defense ... No hand-checking / hard fouling ... Shoot All The Three's you want ... He could avg a 50 point triple-double for sure ... but, he'd be bored with today's game quickly ...
The year that Larry came into the league which is 1979 was the first year of the three-point shot, so in college he never practiced it. Danny became one of the biggest sharpshooters from outside that anyone's ever seen. He won the firsrt 3 Three-Point contest at the All-Star game
Bird's entire career seems like one big highlight reel. If he played in today's soft cupcake league, he'd average a thirty point triple double. While playing only three quarters. LOL.
They only lost one home game in 1986 and it was against the trailblazers, so when they went out to the West Coast that sang season Larry decided I'm going to play this game with left-handed just to make the trailblazers feel like you got lucky
In today's free-throw era a man with an evil pumpfake game and a career 89% free throw would clean up add in that he tallied the first 2 50-40-90 seasons in nba history its safe to say hed feast in today's game
Larry was the greatest passer and trash talker. Also, the 3 point line didn;t com in basketball until Larry's rookie season in the NBA till his rookie season and yet he won the 3 point contest 3 seasons in a row. Another player also won the 3 point contest 3x's in a row in the early 90's. They are tied for the most wins with 3.
I think it was Paul George and Baron Davis said if Lukas slow ass can do what he does Birds quicker and faster than Luka and he’s better he absolutely can play in today’s era. Bird is the only player in NBA history to average at least 24 points 10 rebounds and 6 assists for his career. The only one. Bird is the greatest all round player ever. The only non center to win 3 consecutive league MVPs wilt and Russell are the other 2 to win 3 straight. From 1980-1989 Bird won 67% of the MVP vote for the decade. I could go on and on.
Larry basically had a perpetual green light from all of his coaches in college and in the NBA to go out and just do what he does. There was no improving on Larry's instincts for the game. He just always made the right decisions for his team. He could do anything he wanted on the court and he could do everything at an elite level. He may have had the largest and most diverse array of skills of any player ever.
This is probably the most comprehensive group of clips on Bird that I've seen, so you got a good measure of his skills. I hope you noticed something though, that the BS about him being unathletic is a crock of dookie. I'm not saying he was as fast and nimble and as explosive as folks like Jordan or Wilkins, but to say the man was unathletic is just wrong when you look at these clips. In his prime he was out there posterizing the best defenders in the league or otherwise making them look silly.
He Had & Still Has The Highest BB IQ On The Court. Yea, He Could See What Others Were Going To Do Before They Knew What They Were Going To Do. The They Said Back Then, "Larry Was 2 to 3 Moves Ahead", "Larry Was Playing Chest While Everyone Else Was Playing Checkers".
I will never get all the bros who called him unathletic, slow and couldn't jump. Yet, he chewed up their asses all day long. 3 consecutive MVPs, 3 NBA championships. Only cared about winning, not personal stats.
Larry Bird is my goat. I watched EVERY game he played! The 80's was the decade of the Titans. Larry was the BEST, Larry is the last player to win back to back to back MVP. Jordan Never beat Larry. They swept the Bulls back to back in the playoffs.
And they say today NBA is better. Guys let me say something- everything in 80's was better- sports, music,tv, films, women, economy, people. Sorry for you born after. Larry is just part of the whole Era blessed by Lord.
10 years stretch every night. If Bias drafted begun instead of ended in 1985, Bird's would hoisted atleast 2- 3 more NBA Championship Trophies and LeBron/Bird Greatest talk would be different as Lakers, Piston and Bull from1987 to 1992 missed a force from and Bird could of slowed down as his last 4 years was pushing a Divisional pace and effort was not possible especially when Williams passed with a heart ailments old age and making playoff became a ordeal until Pierce got Rondo, Garnett and Jesus Shuttleworth but his exit to Miami turned scales south until last year as Boston builds winners and great GMs and Coaches

Great reaction. I highly recommend the 'Greatest Passer (re-edit)' video. That is get the popcorn out fun.

He was everywhere on the court! The hustle!
He said he hates it when a player just stands and watches a ball go out of bounds. I always loved his grit. Heart and hustle, and will to win. So much fun to watch.
I'm so glad you watched this!! I thought the Larry Bird Ultimate Mixtape was as good as it got, but these highlights blew me away!
The best ever and of course he did it
Larry Bird was simply magnificent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍
Elite scorer, rebounder passer. Best small forward ever.
The “ real “ GOAT 🐐
Bird had high situational awareness. He knew where everyone was on the court.
100% IQ
Larry always knew what he was going to do with the ball before it was in his hands and would catch everyone off guard with his immediate split second decisions. He was not only a great scorer, but also a great rebounder and passer. He averaged about 24.6 pts/ 10.2 rebounds/ 6.6 assists per game for his career. Won 3 consecutive MVPS, 3 consecutive 3 pt.

THE ONLY PLAYER IN HISTORY to avg. at least 24 / 10 / 6.
Love it! You're the first I've seen that didn't complain about the music in this one!! 😊❤

He saw the whole court. He knew where everyone was Going to be.
Imagine the NBA all-hustle team features Bird and Rodman
Got to watch Larry bird greatest passer re edit. Great reaction ❤
its a great basketball sense or mind. He knew where every player was and how they would move. double and even triple teamed and still made the shot or great pass.
Watched nearly every Celtics game in the first half of his career. He did something amazing at least once every night. Some games he didn't have his shot going but was still grinding and would end up with 18 rebounds and 12 assists because all he cared about was winning.
Great reaction! I like the way you think. Larry definitely was spontaneous. His goal was to win the game any way he could.
Larry Bird was simply magnificent !!!!!
❤I absolutely LOVE Larry Bird❤
Larry Bird was magnificent !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched the NBA from 1971-2014. Most entertaining player I saw. Also, the best all around.
13:40 Larry bird in todays league would be doing almost exactly what jokic is doing rn
He would have a 30pt triple double average
Today's League ... No Defense ... No hand-checking / hard fouling ... Shoot All The Three's you want ... He could avg a 50 point triple-double for sure ... but, he'd be bored with today's game quickly ...
Bird was much more athletic than given credit. As you saw, he was quick as a cat and dunked all the time.
Larry Bird highlights and Stranglehold..... like peanut butter and jelly baby!!
The year that Larry came into the league which is 1979 was the first year of the three-point shot, so in college he never practiced it. Danny became one of the biggest sharpshooters from outside that anyone's ever seen. He won the firsrt 3 Three-Point contest at the All-Star game
Larry was one of THE best (all around) players the NBA has ever seen.
Bird's entire career seems like one big highlight reel. If he played in today's soft cupcake league, he'd average a thirty point triple double. While playing only three quarters. LOL.
He would make today's sissies cry and quit. He is there GOAT.
They only lost one home game in 1986 and it was against the trailblazers, so when they went out to the West Coast that sang season Larry decided I'm going to play this game with left-handed just to make the trailblazers feel like you got lucky
That one home loss in a season still a record to this day and that was 1986
Larry is one of only three players in the history of the NBA to win three consecutive MVP awards. The other two were Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell
In today's free-throw era a man with an evil pumpfake game and a career 89% free throw would clean up add in that he tallied the first 2 50-40-90 seasons in nba history its safe to say hed feast in today's game
Watch a couple more of Larry’s videos. Save his passing video for last. That’s when you realize that Larry Legend is, in fact, the GOAT.
If Bird is not in your top 5, you don't know basketball
Larry was the greatest passer and trash talker. Also, the 3 point line didn;t com in basketball until Larry's rookie season in the NBA till his rookie season and yet he won the 3 point contest 3 seasons in a row.

What u just watched is why LARRY
is the GOAT,he did everything great.
Larrys team was cooking baby 😊
He Had & Still Has The Highest BB IQ On The Court. Yea, He Could See What Others Were Going To Do Before They Knew What They Were Going To Do. The They Said Back Then, "Larry Was 2 to 3 Moves Ahead", "Larry Was Playing Chest While Everyone Else Was Playing Checkers".
You will never see any of today's stars diving on the floor like Bird. The only time they hit the floor is when flopping.
I will never get all the bros who called him unathletic, slow and couldn't jump. Yet, he chewed up their asses all day long. 3 consecutive MVPs, 3 NBA championships. Only cared about winning, not personal stats.
Larry Bird is my goat. I watched EVERY game he played!
The 80's was the decade of the Titans.
Larry was the BEST, Larry is the last player to win back to back to back MVP.
Jordan Never beat Larry. They swept the Bulls back to back
in the playoffs.
It’s not a one on one game. If it were, MJ would have smoked him.
The whole time telling them what he was going to do the whole bench every team every night
The Man is a Legend. The irritating, distracting song sucks worse than Shaq at the free throw line.😎🙄😉
☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
💯
If I can't start a team with MJ, I want Larry. Prime Larry was a hazard to guard.
Edit: MJ made you look slow. Bird made you look stupid.
And they say today NBA is better. Guys let me say something- everything in 80's was better- sports, music,tv, films, women, economy, people. Sorry for you born after. Larry is just part of the whole Era blessed by Lord.
He would torch today’s NBA and I’m telling you he would really torture LeBron James
10 years stretch every night. If Bias drafted begun instead of ended in 1985, Bird's would hoisted atleast 2- 3 more NBA Championship Trophies and LeBron/Bird Greatest talk would be different as Lakers, Piston and Bull from1987 to 1992 missed a force from and Bird could of slowed down as his last 4 years was pushing a Divisional pace and effort was not possible especially when Williams passed with a heart ailments old age and making playoff became a ordeal until Pierce got Rondo, Garnett and Jesus Shuttleworth but his exit to Miami turned scales south until last year as Boston builds winners and great GMs and Coaches
Today’s game he would do what he always did just more of it, defenses or so lacking,it’d be scary.
Also this: ruclips.net/video/Z7Ixy8Uttq0/видео.html LB had at least a couple steals off MJ.
This isn't even the best stuff either, trust me.
What's that awful song in the background. Larry Legend's highlights need no background music!!
Crazy teacher 16
