Quinn Buckner seemed more happy than Larry.

In case you guys were wondering where folks like Dirk ,Duncan, Embiid, and Jokic got their post games from. This is the original. Hasn't been one since to operate at this level in the post, save MJ.

NO ONE LIKE HAKEEM!!

2:18 shouldn’t have been a charge

@4:50 Shades of the 60pt game against the Hawks. Watch the bench

Bernard was fantastic - but only for 2 or 3 yrs = Larry Larry LARRY !

Who were the commentators for this game?

That's a baaad boy!( NOT an easy shot.)

They didn't call him the glide for nothing!

D. J. Made that group gel. He was the missing piece.

perfect editing, no any meaningless plot exist

A true dream 😊

You know what is amazing, 1988 Bird and the Celtics? Boston had the 2nd best record in the NBA and the best record in the East . This was also the best season statistically of Bird's career . Bird, McHale, Parish and Ainge were all All Stars . They added former All Stars Jim Paxson from Portland and Artis Gilmore from San Antonio. In the semifinals against Atlanta, Bird had that legendary 4th quarter shootout with Dominique Wilkins in Game 7. All FACTS! But in the next round, Detroit shutdown Bird, outran them and dominated them on the boards and TODAY fools say Detroit only beat them because they got old and were injured. Complete BS! My take, if they were so old, how did they get the 2nd best record in the league and homecourt advantage over Detroit to begin with?

Ant man said these guys don't have skills 😢

Bird smartest player ever..

Poor Hakeem....he was a 6'0" point guard, trapped in a 6'10" body. He was so freaking fast for a big guy.....on second thought, he was just fast, big or small....

Jerry West was Mr Clutch NOT this Bird clown!..

Best Foot work ever Hakeem Olajuwon and Penny Hardaway before he got injured.

That's why Hakeem is the best center ever. No big man in his Era had been able to stop him he was too good.

Who would have a chance to guard him today? Draymond Green? Embiid? They’d get smoked so badly they’d cry.

He’d probably average 40 ppg n 8 as if he played now

The 86Cs was just wow unbelievable they was like a surgeon they way they cut teams up with precision so fun to watch

Mac mclung is like mark price then add 43 inch vertical why is mac not in the NBA ridiculous

Larry Legend

Sabes lo que amo de Larry Bird? Que el tipo hacia esos tiros y seguía caminando como si nada. Como si no hubiera hecho más que su trabajo. Pudo haber hablado basura en la cancha, pero No hacía gestos a sus rivales, no hacía el payaso después de hacer esos tiros, esas jugadas. Simplemente se daba vuelta y seguía trotando... Eso es clase amigo. Eso ya no se ve estos días. Por eso es mi jugador favorito aunque jamás lo vi jugar en vivo y directo. Tal vez en la próxima vida será 😊

Like how Paxson knew to draw Bird's defender to him before he passed.

When the ball hits the top of the backboard and goes in, take 40 shots!😮😅

C's were amazing. # CLINIC

6:42 Calvin Murphy call

Maxwell on the latest pod states he tried to miss that last shot bc he was ticked. But sure look liked a legit attempt

The layup at 2:45 is 🤯

It was so great being a Rockets fans during Olajuwon's time. If they could have gotten passed the Sonics, they would have won a couple more championships.

Damn now I see why Reed Sheppard is compared to him, and I really see it

21! 21 rebounds in a championship game against MOSES MALONE think about that people!! UNREAL

So glad someone assembled Olajuwon unleashing the full arsenal on the Knicks in game 4 - what a total destruction by one of the ten greatest players of all time.

WOW 😳🏀😆👍🏆

Anyone who thinks there is a big man anymore skilled than the Dream is blind

I know this is a Bird highight but Magic dropped some dimes in this game

The mullet era

I was at this game. I was sitting in the Bruins penalty box behind the Cs bench. The 42 points was Larry's playoff high... until he scored 43 in the very next home game. Ha!

Who's here cause of Kendrick?

This reminds me of when I used to give a damn about the NBA in general instead of just the Warriors now. As a little kid growing up, we got Celtics games a lot on CBS, and so I grew up watching the teamwork of Bill Russell, John Havilicek, Sam Jones, Bailey Howell, and Dennis Johnson, etc. Bird scores 47 in this game - making 2 of the most important shots... but look at that passing.... wow. Just go to 2:50 and watch him fake 3 guys up in the air, and pass underneath them to the wide open guy 5 feet from the bucket.

January 27, 1988

When the NBA mattered.... Larry LEGEND Bird, greatest all around player EVER

Reed Sheppard Sr. Go Rockets!

Milo Hamilton on the call with Johnny “Red” Kerr.

Cooper Flagg is coming oh my will see

Here's the backstory on why Larry Bird was punishing Kenny Walker. Larry Bird wanted to play for Kentucky in college, but the Kentucky coach said Larry wasn't good enough to play for Kentucky. Larry Bird being Larry Bird, he held on to that slight and always looked to bust the asses of Kentucky players like Kentucky's Kenny "Sky" Walker when they got to the NBA.

not much contact down low back then. like at all? wtf?
