… todays game is a joke .
80’s and 90’s NBA was
the real deal !
Our players were GLADIATORS!
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen was the 1992 dream team documentary. Beautiful basketball 11 future Hall of Famers. Everyone was glued to their TVs whenever they played. it was an awesome time. Larry and Magic were.co-captains. Also is the last time either of them played. I watch the documentary often. It’s still reminds me of how I felt watching when they actually played.
When he was a kid, he played with black players who worked at a neighborhood hotel. I could only imagine how proud they must be of him today
My man, great reaction. You just saw Larry Legend. That's the tip of the iceberg. Keep watching.
As for today's game? I'm not going to disrespect it or anyone's youth. Sure, it's changed, but it's not better. It's different. Every era was.
There were great big men back in the day who were 7' or taller.Wilt Chamberlain was the most athletic of any of those bigs I saw play. He was a giant. (He also ran track and field and played pro volleyball.) Others early on include Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Ralph Sampson, Hakeem Olajuwon, for starters. 😊
Yeah, the game has changed. But those early years were magnificent, especially the 80s.
We're not done with any era. Never will be.
Now I've got playoffs to watch! Best of luck with your channel! Subbed.

Larry Legend
Larry was hurting and only about 2/3 the player he was if that in his prime Karma and Michael Jordan and the rest of the guys still wanted him on the Dream Team cuz even Larry Bird at half of what he was is still better than most of the guys at their full power.
But he would get a good 25 apparently 😂😂
Larry Bird: Greatest Passer Of All Time (Re-edit with new footage), 15 minutes of passing genius.
Also a good anime, assuming you haven't seen it yet, would be Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro (Dub, the sub is called Ijirinaide, Nagatoro-san).
Subscribed for more Larry Bird. You are right. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is way more Larry Bird you need to check out to understand the depth of his greatness.
He's the goat
After retiring from playing, Larry Bird went on to become the Pacers head coach .....and taught Reggie Miller to become one of the greatest 3 point shooters and clutch players of all time( Larry molded Reggie in his own image almost).check out Reggie against Michael Jordon under Larry's guiding hand, and then investigate the Pacers vs the Chicago Bulls play off games and Championship (Bulls won the ring ,but it was a legendary series)..
Then go investigate the Pacers vs the New York Knicks rivalries and playoffs, again legendary, ( and look up the racist movie maker Spike Lee vs non-racist Reggie at the Knicks games , it spoke volumes about race in America,.....two Black men, one striving for peace, balance and teaching black youth excellence and the other inflaming them with movies about gang life, and slavery , keeping his own community in a cycle of hate and violence )
GO LEARN BASKETBALL HISTORY !
Throughout Larry Bird’s NBA journey, he succeeded in every role he attempted. As a player, he had one of the greatest careers of all-time; the 12-time All-Star won three championships, three MVP awards and two Finals MVP awards. Then, after retiring, the Hall-of-Famer thrived as a head coach and general manager with the Indiana Pacers. Bird became just the second person in NBA history to be honored as Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year (joining Pat Riley).
Bird coached the Pacers from 1997 to 2000, going 147-67 in the regular season and 32-20 in the playoffs. Indiana advanced to at least the Eastern Conference Finals in each of Bird’s three years on the sideline, and they made the NBA Finals in 2000.
I’m old and got to watch Larry in person. At least once a game he would have a highlight like one of these.
Thanks for watching Larry! If you get s chance, and want to check out the history of Larry, Magic and the NBA, react to A courtship of rivals. Its long, probably need to do 3 or 4 parts, but you won't regret it. And the Birdgang will show up!
I second that probaly the best sports documentary ever about the best sporting rivalry ever and im a massive football fan or soccer to the americans.
He won three consecutive MVP’s in an era with Magic, Kareem, the Ice Man, Moses Maloney and Dr. J among others.
Easy top five player all time. No holes in Bird's game. React to his Greatest Passer Re-Edit video or his 60 point game against the Hawks, or his many famous trash talk video's!!
60 point game: 61% from the field, 15 of 16 free throws, I three. He called that long three, '' Rainbow, trainers lap,'' and he did it. I'd probably jump around too. Good reaction.
So glad I found your channel! I love watching people discover my favorite player....IMO, Magic & Larry resurrected the game of basketball...My dad loved basketball, but stopped watching, until the competition between Johnson & Bird was highlighted...What my Dad used to say, about Larry's game, is that it reminded him of someone, who wasn't only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, football, baseball, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, & what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique & gifted players, I ever watched! Here are some additional links, would love to see you react to, if you haven't already 😊Amazing Assists: ruclips.net/video/baBdnA7cui0/видео.html Best Trash Talker: ruclips.net/video/v7Id88T5DPs/видео.html Best Passer of all time: ruclips.net/video/CExjzyTRxnQ/видео.html Larry Bird No Choir Boy(tough side of Larry Bird) ruclips.net/video/2oIgYyYEyAI/видео.html Larry's 60 point game: ruclips.net/video/uJ__yWoq-lo/видео.html and Larry Bird & Magic Johnson, A courtship of rivals documentary: ruclips.net/video/axbIoHqFaa8/видео.html *HAVE FUN* 😊Thanks!
You should also know that 95 percent of the highlights you just saw were from NBA playoff games. For instance, that video of him following up the refund and transferring the ball from the right to the left hand so that he could get the ball back from under the backboard to drop in the shot, that was from the 1981 finals game against the Houston Rockets. Who else can put together a highlight reel almost exclusively from playoff games?
Check out Larry's passing highlights
_Larry Bird Greatest Passer of all time - re-edit with additional footage_ 👍
A good 25?Dude has no clue.
He'll get there
25? Laughable…maybe top five
Larry Birds trash talk is legendary! He is the Greatest All Around BB player I've ever seen! That's the famous 60-point game bet. Celtics & the Hawks. That game is on YT ......if you want to react to it! The game when Bird fell face first...he fractured his cheekbone & had a concussion! But he came back to play & won!
I was so luck to grow up during that period!
Here is a "y" you can have. No charge.
Subscribed. Watch more bird you will love it. Watch Larry bird greatest passer re edit. Then watch 4 crazy stories that prove Larry Bird is the toughest nba player. There are so many videos to watch. Larry bird was the ultimate teammate and the most complete player . Some of my favorite players of today are Ant, joker and Luka Curry. So fun watching newcomers discover Bird. Great reaction ❤
Yes! _4 Crazy Stories....._
And
_5 Times Larry Bird Refused to Quit_
Please.
Larry legend and Magic saved the NBA ❤❤
I was at the Pacers playoff game and you missed a very important point. Larry snuck past the doctor and trainer to go back out and finish the game. He did that with a concussion and a fractured right cheek bone. He returned in the third quarter and put up 32/9/7. No disrespect but today's players take a month off with a hangnail!
Well... to be fair.... hangnails can really hurt.
@@jonhohensee3258 🤣😂
An underrated and underrepped fact. There was no game scheduled the night of Bird's retirement. Everyone was there just to see that.
Thank you for this. Larry Legend videos never get old! Lol. And there are so many. His stats even in high school were crazy good!
Quick reminder since you think its a new era with centers bringing the ball up the court. Larry Legend was 6'10" when he was doing everything on the court while telling his competitors as he did it. LEGEND!
Larry bird Would average a triple double right now today in 2024 in his sleep !! That man broke his cheekbone on his face and came back and lit it up !! Some of the players today break a fingernail, and they’re out for a month !! Larry bird played most of his career with a terrible back injury ! When he would come out of the game, he would have to lay on his stomach ! Because he couldn’t sit down …. Larry Bird had the heart of a lion !! I know this all too well because I became a Laker fan because of Magic Johnson. He was my favorite player always and Larry bird gave me nightmares.! by the way great reaction, young man it’s nice to see a young guy. Appreciate how good Larry Bird really was top five all-time easy.
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE *TRUE* GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
😁
Larry bird might be 5he most respected player in history. And maybe the most underrated player of all time!
Great reaction and here is a link to one I think you may enjoy with some trash talking etc. Larry was the most dominate player of the 80's he won three consecutive league MVP's only the third to do it and no one since. Founder of the 50-40-90 club, one of the most clutch shooters ever, and one of the greatest passers ever. He played with so many injuries he is the toughest player ever to do it and the biggest trash talker ever. I subscribe for more Larry content.

I will only subscribe for more Larry Bird.
Thanks young man for reacting to this player. I wish you could have witnessed the magic he had. There will never be another player like him. Thanks again sir
So friend, I was born in 1960. My life has been so blessed from all the truly great athletes I have seem. Whats hard for you to realize, was the late 70's through the early 90's, we were the kids of the boomer generation. And every team had at least 2 legitimate superstars, and many had practically the whole starting lineup. It wasn't just the Lakers and Celtics. Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Denver, Houston, Atlanta, Detroit, the Knicks, Washington Bullets, Indiana, Cleveland, Philadelphia, eventually Chicago and San Antonio. Now one of the differences is that there wereabout 8-12 teams that were not in the league yet. So all the teams had legit superstars. And the competition is what elevated players like Magic, Bird, Jordan and others. And the style of ball. If you have heard the term ' no blood, no foul ' truly through the late 90's, there were regular bench clearing and fisticuffs. So this was outside playground type ball, rarely touch fouls. And right or wrong, though there was trash talking, it wasn't done in the way it is today, the Deion Sanders type making sure all the attention is on me. All these stories on Larry Bird and others, the public didn't hear any of these while they played, because there was respect for the game and for the most part respect towards each other. It was typically not done in a way to trash or clown on an opponent publicly. Not just BBALL, But I have seen the greatest golfers, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky was a magician on ice, but he was a relatively small guy against brutes, seeing the great football teams of the 70's Steelers, the 80'sGiants and 49ers, the 90's Cowboys and the Patriots after the turn of the century. The greatest tennis players and baseball players. And it now appears women's ball and Caitlyn Clark and other young women. But to be honest, they have changed rules in so many sports they are not the same game. And the players wanting all the smoke, but not dedicated like in the past. But it's all good.
70's to 90's....Greatest time in sports! Imo
The games between the Celtics & Philadelphia....were brutal! It was all out war when they played!
More Bird
Jordan and Bird. then Magic, Kareem, and then like 5 people.
Bird then Jordan, sir. Bird was 6-0 against Jordan in 6 CONSECUTIVE playoff games. Yeah. Bird had it like that.
@@janiepowell3218 im ok with that
Fully agree with you. I put MJ 1a then Bird 1b. Kareem is 3 then Timmy & Wilt are my top 5
@@TrojanRabbit521 i got tim and wilt in that "like 5 people" range along with shaq, kobe, hakeem and gulp, dare I say it, Lebron. . . Magic was just a crazy weapon at manufacturing fast breaks where there was no apparent fast break. he got his team easy buckets more than any other player I gotta say.. Near triple doulbe career stats while averaging 2 steals and shooting 53% from the floor. im not Magic fan, or Bird or Jordan or any of these guys in particular (im a knicks fan).. i just look at stats, impact and overall ability. And Magic had crazy stats.
@@TrojanRabbit521 but top 10 guys are debatable. Jordan and Bird are not. for me anyways.
When he followed his shot was during the 1981 finals
his passes and shots were ridiculous, the ronaldhino of basketball. great reaction cheers.
Did he just...?
Yes. Yes, he did.
There is not 1 player today that would play with the pain and injuries Larry Bird played with. He fell, broke his cheek bone, came back and finished the game.
Check out Larry bird's passing video
I watched his career in real time. I have seen every highlight. I watch these reactions to see you young men learning his greatness and keeping respect on his name
Larry Bird was Magic Johnson's favorite play
Plus a lot of players said
Larry is the greatest Quarterback in the NBA
He's top 5 passer of all time
New subsctiber! Luv 80's and 90's B ball. There's a documentary called A Courtship of Rivals that's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It's about Magic and Bird, and how they became very close friends after 14 years of being rivalries. Bird and Magic are in it
❤😂🎉Larry Legend 🌍🌎🌏
To this day Larry Bird is still the only player to win the three-point contest three times consecutively.
During my time of basketball, 70s 80s and 90s, it was war on the court. Now days, unfortunately, it's a bunch of flowers dancing down the court dodging butterflies. Shooting for 3s.
Lots of guys talk trash, but BIRD backed it UP! These films are mostly from playoff games. He did this every game and few films exist of his regular season games.
Larry Legend is the GOAT 🐐 ❤️☘️
very well done
Gotta react to "Making the Case: Larry Bird " next
To my knowledge, there has never been an NBA player that told his teammates and coaches, as well as the opposing team’s players and coaches, what he was going to do AND THEN actually do it with regularity and consistency…the trash talking seemed like it was more about Larry not being afraid, impressed, or intimidated by any opposing player…he enjoyed being challenged on the court, but Bird always seemed to be playing chess while everyone else was still playing checkers…🎤🔥🦅🦉 eyes like a fierce eagle, wise like an owl…✌️
While attending college Larry's team was playing mine and we heard he was a future all American. During warm ups we tried to guess to guess which black player he was. Well we were wrong. He beat our league champion team and set our arena scoring record! Peace from Northern Michigan.
Those 80s games was war. Some still hate each other till this day. Magic and Bird have real love and respect for each other
Bird talked the talk and walked the walk . He would donate in any era.
Larry is a top 3 player...
And STILL the best SF ever. He's nearly 6'10"...and makes everyone better because he DEMANDS it.
In today's game, with no defense allowed...
He would average 40, 12, 12.
And make the other team cry and run to a safe space while doing it.
Make no mistake...that's John Wick on the court. 😉
The night of Birds retirement, WAS NOT A GAME NIGHT. THE BOSTON GARDEN SOLD OUT TO STANDING ROOM ONLY!
First off, great reaction. In college Bird averaged 33-13 and 4.5. The thing that the younger people don’t and can’t appreciate about Bird is he could have averaged 50 if he wanted. That’s not what Bird was about. Bird was about winning. If it meant scoring 2 points and having 20 assists and 15 rebounds to get the win that’s what he would do. If I wanted to win games I would take Bird and Kareem over anyone and I mean no disrespect to MJ at all as he is definitely so so great
Another good video is of the 1979 NCAA Final with Bird and Magic, who was only a sophomore. Bird didn't have the team Magic had, but these two then brought the NBA back to life. It was DEAD prior to these guys.
If I rem correctly, Bird said "Magic is the best BB player in the world... next to me." DAMN!
Magic & Legend DID NOT hate each other. When Magic was diagnosed with HIV and friends were falling away... Larry cried when he heard the news and became even closer to Magic. Watch Larry talk about Lambier. That ish is hilarious
I was lucky to see Larry Bird twice. Against the Bulls in 85 and the Jazz in 87
Check out some of his trash talk videos. He was a monster.
The whole "stretch four" position is based on larry
You really need to watch Larry Bird. Best, passer of all time with re-edit I don't think you're aware of how fantastic of a passer he was
Watch and react to Bird and Magic Courtship of Rivals. It transcends the game….
I was too young to see Larry Bird but my father called him a sniper , because his shot was so deadly
@12:52 when you see Magic hitting that hook shot and you presume it was the game winner. What they don't show is Larry's buzzer beater from a corner 3 that bounced out. Great reaction tho
Well the hawks bench thought he was only going to get a good 25 😂
Larry Bird and Earvin "Magic" Johnson's final college game was against each other. Magic got the win. They entered the league the same year. They were friends from the college days on. Larry actually wanted to to go Michigan State, they denied him. So he went to Indiana State. Imagine if those two were on the same team in college.
As a pasty white guy from Boston I miss that man
Hey Win you look good fr I like your channel and I like you young man ty for doing these videos!!!!
you gonna hear it a million times, but check out Courtship of Rivals, best documentary ever, it'll tell you everything
You have only just scratched the surface with larry. So many bird videos to react to so you get the full story. Watch your views subs and likes shoot up my friend.
I liked watching you discover Bird so much, I just came back and watched this vid. again after having seen it when you first posted it. I loved watching it again...and, though, I'm surprised to see you haven't, since then, watched some of the other great Bird vids, like Larry BIrd, Greatest Passer of All Time (re-edit), and 5 Times Larry BIrd was Injured and REFUSED to Quit (or something very close to that title).
I'm thinking maybe one of the reasons you moved away from Bird (I know you have lots else to watch, and a ton of other requests) is that you figured you now had some idea of his game.
But guess what-- I don't think that's the case. Until, for example, you watch that passing video, you have no idea of his finesse, his creativity, his unselfishness...or the fact that he was playing more than basketball-- he was playing volleyball and football as well (you got a taste of the v-ball with those few touch passes shown in this vid.).
Anyway, great reaction-- as much fun to watch the second time as it was the first-- and I hope others chime in to ask you to check out some of the other great Bird footage...and I hope we can persuade you to do it.
BTW-- one last thing you may not know-- Bird went through something similar to what Caitlin Clarke is now experiencing. At least, that's how I see it...and I am expecting (and hoping) it ultimately shakes out the same way-- the way it should with every player-- with her ultimately being viewed and evaluated solely on the basis of how she plays the game and how she conducts herself.
A Courtship Of Rivals will explain all of it.
Watch that
You said you would watch anything so you need to watch A Courtship of Rivals.. best documentary ever on Larry and Magic Thanks!
That was a pro game. 🏀🏀🏀
If you haven't seen the college Goat look at Pete Maravich. 44.2 ppg no 3 point line and only played 3 years!!!
RIP Bill ❤❤❤
Subbed for Bird, but here's a request to blow your mind.

What Bird hurt was breaking off a chunk of his cheekbone
Larry Bird was NOT a friendly competitor. He wanted the competitive edge. if you watch A Courtship of RIvals it explains how they go from hated rivals to friends.
Great reaction, man! New subscriptor from Argentina here... Hey, you MUST watch "Magic & Bird. A courtship of rivals". One of the BEST sports documentaries EVER. Really worth it..!
Larry Bird would take today's players to school
re: sportsmanship and trash talk and competition and all that, I know I've heard former players say that about Larry. He would talk mean trash and be a jerk to you on the court, but 99% of the time, it wasn't actually personal or anything. He was just competitive and brutally honest. He might still joke around and make cocky remarks off court, but not with any ill will behind it. He just liked that competitiveness. But you had other people in the 80s like Bill Laimbeer who played dirty, elbowed people in the face, tripped them, and kinda just tried to win games by injuring the stars on the other team. Everybody knew that's what he did, and it's obvious in a lot of the replays, but he would just talk sh** about people accusing him of being a dirty player like they were jealous of him or something but the dude was one of the dirtiest of all time. I don't think Bill Laimbeer's own teammates even liked Bill Laimbeer. Just one of those guys everybody kinda wanted to punch. So when people talked trash about Bill Laimbeer they actually meant it haha. That's at least one I know they meant it. That dude was a grade A a***ole. But usually the trash talk was just competition. Between Larry and Magic, they picked on each other relentlessly, but then they'd go eat dinner at Larry's mom's house.
Making the case for Larry Bird next
The difference is back in the '80s. They literally hated each other till their careers were over. Not till the whistle blew or the horn blew. They hated each other every minute of every season until the player retired
Bird is easily the goat. No cap.
yes.. check another Larry story.. "Jamal Mashburn tells a Larry Bird story"
Check out “5 times Larry Bird played hurt”
Man didn't know all great players have one thing called ADAPTABILITY
Back when basketball was watchable.
Aside from basketball, of which, keep doing the deep dive into the 80's and 90's. You will be surprised.
I am recommending some documentary films.
1. Religulous.
2. The King of Kong: A fistful of Quarters

4. The People vs John Lennon
5. Hot Coffee
6. Capitalism: A Love Story

10. Fahrenheit 9/11
Mike Tyson greatest knockouts!! React please! Mad love from Oklahoma!!

Good stuff
Larry Bird's retirement ceremony, they sold out the Boston Garden on a non game night for the ceremony
Anybody who watches Bird in his prime and doesn't consider him as potentially the GOAT doesn't understand basketball.
Hair looks nice
I feel like the previous post is right. You had to be tough to play old school basketball, and I don't even watch basketball anymore. Bird was a funny guy
When bird broke his orbital bone he was seeing double for a few days to a week. He beat the Pacers seeing double.
You need to see the pic of Dr J and Bird simultaneously grabbing each other by the throat before they started hitting each other
Good to see younger generation doing the homework ... The Fucking Legend would destroy this soft era ..
Bird would average 35-40 in todays league
