During Shawn Kemp’s rookie season Bird went up to him and told him “hey rook, you’re the one who broke all my high school records and you bullied my little brother on the court, so I got something for your ass” and Larry ended up scoring 40 and got a triple double in that game. Larry was cold blooded
Mr. Payton was right about Larry Bird being somewhat underrated by lots of people who discount his speed, jumping ability, and basic athleticism, in spite of the numerous awards and championships he's accumulated. Mr. Payton also pointed out that Bird was smart, very smart in fact. He might be the most basketball savvy player I have ever seen in my 75 years on this planet. In addition to the highly developed basketball intellect that he possessed, his tenacity and focus on the job at hand was almost unparalleled also.
It's true....white guys in the 80s 90s had 2 purposes the rough stuff and shooting...now just shoot....Stockton and bird might be the only 2 who were different
Bird always had crazy stats but stats don't tell the whole truth. Bird could control the entire game without even scoring himself. He was a basketball savant with a killer instinct who made his teammates Hall of Famers when they likely wouldn't be that without him. He was that guy and a killer on the court.
Wouldn't shake a players hand? Sounds like an azzhole to me but I get the Romanticism with Larry by black players. It's similar to the Romanticism of Eminem by black rappers.
Dominique Wilkins was one highlight real after another . Also you never heard him whine like some of these players of today. True gent on and off the court
80's basketball was something else. Robert Parish lost it, for good reason, and floored Bill Laimbeer with punches and refs didn't even call a foul. That was the true golden age of NBA basketball not because of that but because players had to be ready to go to war to win.
Bird was a venomous trash talker and killer competitor, even if he looks the opposite of that, but he still respected folks, even rookies, who didn't back down and went toe to toe with him like Wilkins said because other greats who were rookies say the same thing.
JJ Redick trying to say Larry Bird, isn’t one of the greatest three-pointers all time! Lol pleeaaaasssse! Larry legend had that mamba mentality before Jordan and Kobe.
Dominique one of my all time favorites grew up in the Boston area I remember 1 game where these 2 went back and forth and literally didn't miss a shot until later in game GREAT STUFF
Wilkins and Bird had a lot of notable wars in the 80's. Folks talk about the 60 point game the most but Wilkins and the rest of the Hawks against the Celtics were as great as basketball can be.
I heard a story about Larry Bird being in the 3 point contest one time and, Larry goes in the Locker Room and tells everyone he’s coming in 1st place and he asked who’s coming in 2nd like bro he does that.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dom Wilkins was in two wrong eras. He was a rookie in 82 when LA and Boston(Phili once) dominated the NBA. Then the Bag Boy😂 Pistons won 2 rings. Then the Jordan/Pippen curse came on when Chicago won 6 rings, Houston won two with Jordan's absence from the league. I felt that the Hawks could have put at least one team together to win Wilkins a ring. But that's just how competitive that the NBA was in the 80s and 90s with the Larry n Magic show, and the Bulls era.
I watched all of these guys during this era. There's no such thing as a GOAT, But Larry is one of them. There was no one better than Larry, Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bill Russell, Jordan, Magic, LeBron, Steph Curry, Kobe, Durant, and there may be a couple that I am leaving out. But there is no way that anyone could not say that any of these guys aren't the GOAT.
Love Larry, but also love Nique, such a great person and athlete! And cannot but also love Gary P. apart from the great sh!t-Talking and competitor, he's such an honest story-telling character!
You're tripping. Payton was one of the best defenders and one of the biggest trash talkers of all time. If he's saying Bird was that guy, it's more than relevant.
@@citypopFM Payton came into the league in 1990, when Bird's career was winding down. Not only did he not play against Bird very much, they wouldn't have guarded each other because they played different positions. Nique came into the NBA in 1982. So Payton wasn't a part of the 80's era, that's what I'm saying.

"I don't know why they got U guarding me homezzz" is wild 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol. I would be offended.
For some reason I read that in Sean Penn’s voice. Maybe cause it reminded me of his character Pac Man from Colors
@@dariog36th 🤣🤣
I know 😂😂😂😂
How could you not get pissed off when someone says something like that to you 🤷🏾
Hahahahaha I don't know if i'd laugh or be offended more.

“he got about 38” 😂😂😂
That's about right when it comes to Larry.
😂 said it QUICK lol
@@DoogieMarley LOL
He actually did get 38 that game.
I’m on the floooorrr 😂😂😂😂
Bird has total respect for Wilkins
Gotta love that slight jab, “guys guarded each other back than, you couldn’t duck each other “
😂😂
They be hiding steph on defense but he makes up for it with them 3s 🤣
"He got like 38"
😂😂😂😂

Its awesome how much everyone loves Larry. He was just a monster and basketball players respect
Only one still bitter about him is Rodman lol
Larry would get offended when they put a white dude on him 😂
Exactly everybody that's old school knows how good larry bird Was. It's e s p n that refused to talk about him a lot.
It's true....white guys in the 80s 90s had 2 purposes the rough stuff and shooting...now just shoot....Stockton and bird might be the only 2 who were different
@@SR-hf3hx McHale was pretty solid too
@@davidharripersad2317 I totally forget about him you're right
@@SR-hf3hx Don't forget about Laimbeer
Don't forget about the game when Bird shot the ball left-handed all game just to get a challenge
😮😮😮damm!
@ Portland
He had 30 by the end of the 3rd quarter
Then told them y’all not good enough for my right hand 😂 😂

I totally agree, as a Philly kid I was very nervous whenever he had the ball...VERY NERVOUS!!
@@PardonMyPresence Bullshit, you just can't accept it when a white guy does something better. It's called JEALOUSY.
Wilkins was amazing. I only wish that he could have won a ring. What a competitor
Maybe if he stuck with Utah and played with Malone and Stockton, he could’ve had the chance

Bird was a savage 😂😂😂😂
Larry bird would have no problem going up against lebron james. He would trash talk him anytime.
why is lebron on y’all mind so much, this had nothing to do with him
Larry bird would give anybody buckets, facts, I would wanna see him and dirk
@@WopJr Because mofos can't stand a successful Black man who's approaching billionnaire status......
@@WopJrbecause they are the two greatest small forwards ever
And he’d get dunked on like everyone else
I said it before:
Bird don't shake hands
Bird don't smile
Bird don't help you up after a fall
Bird don't like you
Bird was a venomous trash talker and killer competitor, even if he looks the opposite of that, but he still respected folks, even rookies, who didn't back down and went toe to toe with him like Wilkins said because other greats who were rookies say the same thing.
That mentality needs to come back!
Stop giving high fives and shit after a free throw miss...man please.
JJ Redick trying to say Larry Bird, isn’t one of the greatest three-pointers all time! Lol pleeaaaasssse! Larry legend had that mamba mentality before Jordan and Kobe.
Them dudes just be trying to go viral..He couldn't lace Larry's Cons.
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT !!! 🐐 ☘️
Now we need to hear from the legend himself!
Love Larry Bird on Winning Time. Best character on the show!
He called Dominique "Holmes" .....LOL
Never in my life have I heard of a white man saying that. Larry Legend my starting 3 on my team.
He would drop the ball and take a turnover lol damn that is cold.
Meanwhile NBA players today basically get down on they knees for each other
Exactly, because they know they can't win on their own, so they need to go get help.
@1990758 who won on their own? You realize basketball a team sport
@@RL-ww5ev I realize and I know everything about the NBA. I've been watching it since the early 60s think about it.

This makes me smile hard
It’s cool to hear these bird stories 💯
I love a good Larry bird story
Bird is the greatest SF to ever play.
Vlad acting like he ain't old enough to know bout Larry Bird is hilarious 😂
Larry Legend 👏🏿👏🏿😂😂
Imagine a healthy bird with longer career
In high school they called Dominique, Dr. Dunk.

He got injured and blew that Achilles out. Wish he could have caught a bench role towards the end of his career on a championship team
"Yeah he got about 38" lmao
Bird, Bird, Bird, Bird is the Word
Love Bird and Nique
Barkley said that Bird would get offended when they’d put a white guy to guard him 💀
I watched all of these guys during this era. There's no such thing as a GOAT, But Larry is one of them.
There was no one better than Larry, Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bill Russell, Jordan, Magic, LeBron, Steph Curry, Kobe, Durant, and there may be a couple that I am leaving out.

Y’all better put sum respect on LB name Lmao 🤣 😂😂
Ok it’s time for Vlad to get somebody who is into sports and can interview
Love Larry, but also love Nique, such a great person and athlete! And cannot but also love Gary P. apart from the great sh!t-Talking and competitor, he's such an honest story-telling character!
I jump up on the spot like Dominique Wilkins when he be hot, come at you unexpected like Gary Coleman..

Can't front on Larry "Legend".

What up holmes!! 😂
I would have NEVER guessed that Larry Bird was a trash talker. W-O-W!!!

All the GOATs were toxic
Jordan vrs Bird Vlad
Definitely was scrolling for this comment. I was like damn vlad had the only copy of magic vs bird😂😂
Should have shown Nique's dunk on Larry Bird instead of the clip of Gary Payton. Payton's not really relevant.

@@overratedgm5713 Exactly!!!
Payton just knows all the stories
Nique was Bird's peer & saw everything & then some! End of story
😆👍
LeChoke is nothing compared to Larry Legend.
LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony made the game soft as a pillow
lebron did not melo
Slobbering over Larry cus he yt. Vlad the lane vulture
Lolwot. Bird is one of the best players of all time and saved the NBA with Magic.
@@citypopFM never said he wasn’t. Vlad just always covers him
@@Larhlessjust trying to give him props. Almost nobody talks about Bird and they usually diss him like Rodman did.
@@dariog36th na bird won 3 mvps back to back they always brought it up when discussing joker. Where u been
I’m dead!! Bird still dropped a 38 piece 😂😂
Yo Larry Bird was a real one 💯
vlad quiet about fleece saying he coming for them cheeks.
