Hes not blaming curry hes blaming the rules.. if bird played in todays game he'd dominate even more.
Not really.
The rules are made by the system. The refs follow the rules. It was ok to bump and grind in the old NBA. Nowadays you can't just have contact or trash talk without risk of fouls.
100 percent agreed
Couldn't agree more. Multiple years winning 3 point shootouts ...he " was money as one player said Bird was playing chess while the rest of us were playing checkers while always dealing with his back and still dominated all those pros who are now in the HOF
@@Newportnews98ya,really he would.
Unlike Larry or MJ, Steph isn't rebounding or driving to the hole.... No Way!!!
What???? So how does he have 2 scoring titles with just 3s????
Curry has to be set to shoot his 3 pointers. I can’t remember the last time, coming out of a time out Curry shot a 3 down by 2 points with less than 5 seconds left to win the game. Larry Bird and Reggie miller could be fighting for position without the ball catch it with 2 seconds left on the clock and sink the 3. That is the difference.
🤔👍🙂.... 1 thing most people forget, the 3 point shot wasn't a part of the game 🏀 until Larry was a *Rookie* in the NBA!!! It didn't EXIST! Not only did Larry claim *"Rookie of the Year"* .... He *DOMINATED the 3 Point Game!!!* Especially with his pull back jumper or *ONE FOOTED SHOTS 🏀😳🤯🐐*
I'll take Larry Bird every day and twice on Sunday. Bird was savage.
Its the soft rules not the refs and that's the point
"Bro sounds like me when I'm defending Lebron" that had me weak and kudos to you for being self aware about it lol
😂🤝🏾
Steph and ray allen shot threes their whole life. The nba diidnt implement the 3 until the year before bird came into the league. So he literally developed the 3 during his playing time in the nba. Imagine how good bird would've been at 3's if hed practiced it his whole life like Steph and ray Allen. Hes one of the best to do it and literally was learning as hes doing it 😂😂
3 point line was introduced to the NBA 1979-80... Bird's rookie season. His teammate Chris Ford made the first one in NBA history (10/12/1979). Bird was on the floor when it happened
Respect to Coop and Dominique for speaking facts. JJ Redick needs to get another job other than sports broadcasting. LOL.
If Larry played today and was healthy he would literally dominate 100% of every player in the league. This includes Curry and Lebron. ALL OF THEM. None of them are close to him.
My family is a rodeo family. We own a bunch of horses. We have 2 that are high bred, high dollar and absolutely gorgeous. They win a lot. I own many more horses that are bred well, not as beautiful or striking, but they give you the same performance every time. Their work ethic and technical abilities will always get you in the top 5.
That’s the difference between a workhorse and a show pony. Some are just nice to have, a joy to behold and they earn their keep. But those workhorses are the backbone of our operation. Hands down.
Ray and Curry played high school and college ball with the 3-point shot in place. The 3-point shot didn't exist until Bird's first year in the NBA so threes were just another shot for him until then.
LOL, the NBA today should qualify for Hollywood awards, no defense and great acting!
The refs call what the league tells them to call in the preseason. The calls mold the game as the owners want.
see while Curry and Ray Allen are mOSTLY 3 points shooters, 3 point shooting was a SMALL part of Larry's game.
That’s a lie
@@Newportnews98 we can compare their stats? lol
Bird, 24 points, 10 REBOUNDS, 6.3 assists, 1.5 steals, .8 blocks..
lol NIETHER Curry Nor Ray Allen have THAT kind of production OUTSIDE of their shooting. oh my bad, Curry can drive (with contact) and can pass a lil. .lol SHOOTERS vs Bird, an ALL AROUND PLAYER.. LIES? no you are just BUTT hurt by REALITY.
@@Newportnews98 In 1976, the ABA and NBA merged. *The 3-point shot, at first, wasn't part of the package. The NBA stayed firm in the game's traditions. The league didn't adopt the 3-pointer until 1979--Magic Johnson and Larry Bird's rookie season.* While certain college basketball conferences experimented with it in the early '80s, the NCAA didn't universally implement a 3-point line until 1986, with high school basketball following suit a year later.
I do not understand how a man can state openly that Curry IS NOT a clutch three point shooter -
then go on to claim Curry is the greatest three point shooter.
Greatness REQUIRES clutchness.
Curry is Proficient. Even the Most Proficient All-time. That's not nothing. But Greatest All-time? Not for me.
Best clutch player. Larry Bird. He was never my guy but give him his due. You never wanted to be close in score with a team Larry Bird was on.
He’s not blaming Curry, he’s stating a fact that Bird had people hanging on him anywhere on the floor, but still made the shots. Also, Curry grew up with the 3 while Bird NEVER shot or hit a 3 until he got to the NBA, yet dominated the 3.
What it had to do with it is LeBron got his feelings hurt by a fan. Players today are too pampered. You can't breath on a shooter without getting a foul called. Looks like WWE out there, with all the bad acting looking for a foul. Just sayin'😊.
I think you're missing the point. What if bird wouldve shot 30 3's a game he would've made 15 of them too lol so yes if you throw up a bunch you will make a bunch.
They didnt ask Bird if Curry was the best three point shooter of all time. He was asked if he was the best shooter.of all time. Those are two separate questions I believe Curry is the best three ball shooter of all time. But, his 47% from mid range doesnt sit well for the best. Bird was 51% from mid range. Ive watched the NBA since 1972. Ive never seen anyone hit more clutch sots at all ranges than Bird. And I was lucky enough to be there when Bird hit that shot against the Suns. It was like midnight at the morgue when that ball popped the net.
Bird has more attempts at the mid range. And by your logic jordan is the greatest shooter.
Let's flip the question around. Would Curry be as great a 3 point shooter if he was playing Larry's era?
I'm inclined to say yes he would but that I don't think Larry and Curry would be taking anything away from each other. If anything it might drive them both to become even better than they were.
Bird won on more last second 3 points than anybody. He missed one. Out of all of them
Whoever edited the video rigged it to make it seem like Larry was hating on curry in that Dan Patrick interview and he wasn’t. They clearly chopped pieces together to fit the agenda of Larry downplaying curry. Fake news.
When Jordan was talking about 3 pointers, he broke finals record for 3's in the first half (6 3 pointers , 35 points in 1 half )
refs do what they are told to do
Bird is the greatest clutch shooter in history
Coop aint lyin
FYI, Cooper was arguably one of the greatest defensive players of his era. Bird calls him the toughest defensive player he ever faced. Magic credited Coop with 1 to 2 of the Laker's rings.
i guess lebron kicking a fan out shows how mentally weak he is? I remember back in the 90s at Mets games, SOME fans where known to throw double aa batteries at the opposing team.. the rules in the arenas are FAR more strict nowadays.. Shoot I remember Shea staduim had to get over 100 cops to ensure the saftey of John Rocker a pitcher for the Braves.. different times.. different times.
1986 NBA finals. Ask Ralph Sampson how he felt going into the Garden for that last game.
@@trekkiexb5 lol probably not good
I don’t care. Call ANYONE the greatest shooter of all time. Curry? Fine. For anybody that watched Bird for his entire career, you just know. Talk is cheap. When your ENEMIES say you’re the best, you’re probably the best 😂
Bird is the best CLUTCH shooter of all time,& Jordan is second.
LaBron was an example of how prima donna the players are. That wasn't about LaBron himself. That was the easiest and most high level version of what he was trying show. The difference? Watch the 1986 NBA finals. The Last game, where the Boston fans had blow up dolls dressed as Ralph Sampson (Rockets Center) hanging from the upper deck. People holding signs saying "Ralph I'm 5 foot, you'd hit me too!" and booing him every time he TOUCHED the ball. All because he slugged one of the Boston bench players during game 5 in Houston. Both the bench player and Sampson got ejected. Do you see that in ANY game today? No. And some of that is good, but some of that is bad.
Look. This video wasn't about Steph Curry or Larry Bird really. It was JJ Reddick mocking '80's basketball. In a couple of sentences he insulted an entire decade of basketball. Larry and Curry were just the instruments of the chaos.
Larry was a better three point shooter. Larry was the best all around basketball player ever
Coop telling the truth
You're misunderstanding what is being said. Most people do that intentionally because they want Curry to be the best shooter of all time. I don't think you're doing it intentionally but you can only judge a player by what they did in their era because you can't compare growing up shooting 3's your whole life with just getting a 3 point line your first year in the NBA. There has to be context taken into account.
Curry has never hit a game-winner ever! Bird hit 18. Bird was an assassin.
Bird wins all day
Bird was the GOAT hitting clutch shots and 3's i would pay to see them today shoot 3's
Bird played in a man's league. Curry plays in a women's league. The end.
Don't forget Reggie Miller.. Boom Baby !
A slip up happens. We are all human. As long as you clarifiy it, most people will let go. This is the SECOND time Reddick has insulted generations of players of the past. He said the plumbers and Firemen comment. And he didn't apologise for clarify it either. So yeah, older players were pissed.
They are not blaming Curry. How silly. This era’s game is unarguably soft compared to Bird’s era. The 80’s refs werent calling it unless they saw blood. Now? Sneeze on someone and it is a foul.
i enjoyed the video but you need to watch a 76'ers vs Celtics game when Bobby Jones, Dr. J. Mo Cheeks Chocolate Thunder played. the game today is awful. i used to take the bus a train into Boston Garden as a jr, high student and see real basketball, Bill Russell, Clyd Fraiser Karrem, so many more
LET'S BE REAL MAN. YOU TAKE AWAY CURRY'S 3-POINT SHOT, AND HE'S NOT EVEN IN THE LEAGUE!
He’s an elite finisher and playmaker so wrong. Plus, you’re taking away a skill which he’s spent countless hours on. Unlike height for example, if Giannis was curry’s height he wouldn’t be in the league because he’s the worst shooter outside of the restricted area in the NBA.
Pat Riley once said: last shot to win a game Jordan last shot to live or die Bird!
da-bird had game 👍
Larry Bird was the best all around player to grace the court.
Bro, do you actually think NBA refs have the power to call the game according to their own basketball beliefs???
21 minutes of a man in denial.
I am with the people who say that the 3 point shot has ruined the game...The NBA has to go back to the old school way...That way it will weed out the real players from the soft players like Lebron...Every time he has the ball and someone is close to him he acts like he just got shot...it's sad
Yeah, the game has totally changed. They don't work for the win anymore. They would rather hit boring 3's rather than doing the hard work to make plays inside. It's not much of a true game. It's more of a show, and fans are getting tired. I am more impressed by watching earlier basketball than today's basketball. It's actually exciting to watch those older games.
He ain’t blaming anybody. He’s telling Riddick or whoever he is to watch the tape of now and then and compare no calls and foul calls. Players flop and get the foul calls more today than in Birds era. No blame. He’s responding to dude’s stupid comments regarding Larry Bird. He opened his mouth and said some dumb things, and Cooper responded to his comments and argument concerning the league, fouls, Larry Bird, and 3 point shooting. That’s it. He’s giving him a history lesson. The only blame is being put on Reddick for not knowing what the hell he’s talking about. He’s either ignorant or trolling to get people talking about him. Bad press is better than none I guess.
Whatever your opinion of Curry or Bird…Bird won the first three 3 point contests …and never entered another one…Curry has been in 5 and didn’t win…forget three points…Bird was the founder of the 50-40-90 club…two years in a row…50% from the floor…40% from 3 point range and 90% from the free throw line…plus he joined Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain as the only 3 to ever win MVP back to back to back…3 in a row…and as a coaching 1998..voted Coach of the Year…and as the front office guy…in 2012…voted NBA Executive of the Year…he may not be your best 3 point shooter but he was high in every category and one of the best passers of all time…25 points a game..10 rebounds..6 assists…a couple of steals…and 90% from the line…and the 3 point line did not exist until the year after he signed his first contract…it did not exist…and he sat out a year after double Achilles surgery…in the Pacers playoff game…going for a loose ball..his head smacked and bounced off the floor…after the trainer looked him over, he came back out to play with a fractured right cheek…a concussion and double vision and scored 17 more points…
Bird was the man would avg 30 10 10 today
JJ REDDICK ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO LARRY LEGEND BIRD IQ AND SHOOTING AND HIS HATES BIRD .PERIOD
Bird everyday. All day. Over anyone. Best all around player ever. If I'm making a team. My 1st pick is Larry fade away bucket Bird baby.
Blame the refs? Think that one all the way thru. When did refs start making the rules?
Larry Bird one Greatest 3 point shooters he The Greatest 3 pointer of all time he original 40 60 90 club 3 3 point contest winner in a role 86 87 88 plus against Washington hit a winner to die the game hit 3 in first over time off one foot which waved away due a time out was called. Then after time hit from same to win it for real.
If Curry played in the 80s & 90s he'd be MARK PRICE! Mark Price would avg more points and more assists than Curry;Price had more talent!
Basketball has become a game of prima donnas. I stopped watching it more than 10 years ago.
I agree. JJ Reddick was decent. Curry is FAR better than him. Heck, I don't even like LaBron but I know LaBron is an amazing shooter compared to Reddick and even compared to Curry. And yeah, Cooper would have locked him up and probably sent him crying on the bench. Larry Bird thinks Cooper was the best defender he had to go against.
Curry would miss with game on the line
You missedthe point, bro.
Larry!!!!!
Every god level player is different. Each has their “abilities”. Bird didn’t shoot a ton of 3’s. He had to feed McHale and Parish in the post.
Size matters:Bird was 6'9 to Curry's 6'3(Maybe)....Much harder to block a 6'9 shooter than a 6'3 shooter! Today's game=LOL NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY DEFENSE!!! In the 80s & 90s Curry couldn't take the punishment;He'd be out of the league in 5 or 6 yrs with injuries.
reggie miller and larry bird can shoot the 3 ball as good as any player that's ever played the game but in there era the 3 ball was a last option back then...back then the 1st option was get the ball down low in the low post 1st for the high percentage shot and if players back then would jack up 3balls like today they would be on the bench. facts
Today's society is SOFT,& that is reflected in our sports;Basketball is SOFT!!!
Way to insult an entire generation
NBA'S highest winning percentage belongs to Magic. 2nd. belongs to Bird.
its not the refs fault dude...its the n.b.a fault they made the rule change and ruined the game.
i'll say Curry is the better VOLUME 3 point shooter. he'll shoot MORE threes for you, but if the game is on the line and I need a 3, im going Larry Bird every single time
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡so instead of look at facts you go for media narrative
@@Newportnews98 actually STATS will tell you that Bird is a BETTER clutch performer.. we can EVEN FIND VIDEO that Steph DOESNT come through in the clutch.. while we CAN find video of BIRD coming in the clutch.. it doesnt matter what YOU THINK REMEMBER THAT.. REALITY is NOT what YOU MAKE IT...
NOBODY calls Curry clutch.. he LOST 5 3 POINT CONTESTS.. im the clown? seems like YOU are fitting that role really RE3ALLY well.. lol
@@Newportnews98 lol.. just lol..
@@Newportnews98 ive been watching basketball since the knicks had BOTH Mark Jackson AND Rod Strickland at the point. I watched the BEFORE they had Charles Oakley.. I SAW Magic, Kareem AND I SAW BIRD PLAY.. media narrative? lol just lol..
Michael Cooper.... would destroy JJ Reddick...they don't play defense today
... Ray Charles could hit a three in today's league
I don't get this need to rank all time greats. Curry is great, Bird is great. It's impossible to rank players from different eras and make lists and why should you. It's a team sport. If I remember correctly when MJ was asked if he's the best of all time he responded they had the best team ever.
Flopping is on the players...not the refs. It's cowardice. Not a single 80s player to even think about doing that.
Bird didn't need to do DELIBERATE 3 pointers. Curry was not a good clutch 3 point shooter. 0-12 last season.
wake up.
Larry's more Clutch. I mean, Jerry West and MJ are the only ones who could touch that. Maybe DJ. Curry is a better three point shooter. But he doesn't really do anything else. Is he a great player? yes, but Curry isn't in Larry's league. I mean Micheal Cooper was a decent 3 point shooter. But he was a BETTER defender. Larry had an all around game. Curry doesn't This is why many people defend Larry so hard. He wasn't at the top ten of everything, but he was excellent top 50 or higher at EVERYTHING. Nobody today does that. NO ONE. Heck, in the eighties, no one was doing that. He's not the GOAT, he's a UNICORN in a class by himself and always talked about WITH whomever you have as the GOAT.
I'm just a casual fan so my opinion may not matter. Bird really did seem to be a great team player. He tried to get everyone involved. But in clutch situations he wanted the ball because he wanted the team to win. He probably is a unicorn with amazing basketball IQ and endless confidence.
When someone asked why he played hurt and gave 100%, he supposedly said something like, "I owe it to the Celtics. I owe it to basketball. I owe it to fans who may have saved for months to pay for tickets and transportation to the games."
Great job fem. J.J. Reddick is a total embarrassment. Larry is the most clutch player in NBA history! do I believe Bird & Curry are the best 3 pt. shooters of all time? YES. Do I think Larry cares? Not one bit.
Chuck person would be a god in todays basketball. Basketball is a joke nowadays. I find it unwatchable.
Currys the greater 3 point shooter. Birds the better mid range shooter. Currys better free throw. Birds much better clutch. Theyre both great.
the statement that larry only shot about 37 1/2 % from 3 point line in his career is correct. actually his first 5 years he was under i think 30% or very low 30's? But when he got into the 3 point contest he really started practicing more so his last 7 years he average 41% and that was with 1 year at 33%, you can't prove it but i feel if he practiced more he might have increased it maybe another 1% and then maybe not we will never know. Oh in playoffs an champioship games it was (42.2%)
The statement of the slightest bump of a player shooting a 3 has nothing to do with the refs. It has everything to do with the rules of today. Michael Cooper is trying to say the rules are different from today to back in the 80s. The rules allowed for a more physical game back in the 80s and have changed for player safety. Curry happens to play in a different era. Bird played in an era where Papa Curry hit Bird so hard that it almost knocked him out of the game.
Gonna stick with The Fucking Legend
Have you ever watch LeBron's games he stands out there like he's camping he just stands there not being part of the office cuz he sucks that bad
JJ knows better...
When the reffs don't call it the players throw a fit like a 4 year old
HE NEEDS TO WATCH THE VIDEOS AND STORY HOW TOUGH THE 80'S ALSO MARK PRICE FROM CLEVELAND CAVALIER IS MORE ACCURATE SHOOTER THAN HIM AND STILL CAN BEAT HIM ANYTIME.
Yeah Jordan wasn't known as a 3-point shooter but he busted in your eye when every time he needed one so I would just shut up why he is the goat and Larry is a top-five we're LeBron's not even top 20 facts
It's not moving the goal post. The real argument is what does "the best 3 point shooter" mean? The person that makes the most 3 pointers? The person with the highest percentage of successful 3 pointers? The person who makes the most clutch 3 pointers? The person who won the most 3 point contests? You had some good insight but I think you were quick to shoot down the arguments. Good reaction though made me think.
5 seconds on the clock Larry Bird
Larry Bird is better than Stephen Curry ..
Some really should try showing a little respect!
its way more than the refs, it's the nba and money, the nba realizes that points equal money, the game has evolved and the nba has followed with it, that doesn't make it right or wrong, it is what it is
The current NBA is Powder Puff, the guys fall around and scream like toddlers do different than the soccer players to, I can't even watch the game anymore but then again I grew up watching the Celtics and Lakers battle it out
Correcting Jordan about strategy 🤦♂️
No blame it on the soft rules compared to the physical play of the 80s
By no means that Curry is not great. It just that Bird is better than Curry.
Michael Jordan (Wizards) Highlights (43pts-10rebs) "at Age 40" vs.Nets [02-21-03]
You know I blame the players because they're the ones that are flopping and accentuating the foul they know the rules to just like double dribbling and traveling but that doesn't stop them from doing it how you get a travel and double dribble take like 10 steps and then slam and act like you're good plus nobody's guarding him I don't see that as being a great or any kind of good in the NBA that's why people are not watching it boring traveling flopping whiny babies self-entitled a-holes getting paid more than anybody on this planet to not play that's why there's no fans are just you young new people that Don't Know Jack about basketball
