Can,t. You. Shut. Up

Should not lower the rim. There’s more to basketball than dunks.

After Larry and Magic did that commercial, they actually became friends. Not drinking buddies but friends. Larry became more of a friend to Magic after finding out about the HIV. Also, Larry's spine issue was something he was born with. He didn't know until the work he did sent his back ailment to kick in early.

That Bird retirement ceremony was sold out, standing room only. There was no game that night. Every person there was there for Bird!

😅can you imagine Larry playing today he would destroy the NBA

Love the videos despise all the talk

Sounds just like my 5'7" buddy Jim he used to shoot it when he would come over the half court line if you weren't on him with your hands in his face but that's what made him so dangerous when someone has a shot like that where if you dont get a piece of it its going in every time then his head fake and drive to the basketor get a pic there's no stopping him when I was in highschool i went all 4 years with 100% free throw shooting and I had 2 gym classes senior year and Coach Groth made me shoot my free throws over again in front of the girls gym class so that's 60 free throws I made when it came to check your % for the year

Kevin Durant's a great player. But, show me any mixtape of him that would even be in the same league as this.

Not that impressive his moves aren’t graceful

A fantastic game for a CC reaction is the #6 Iowa vs Michigan game from 2-15-24 (recommend the “Women’s Basketball Alliance version). This was the game Caitlin broke the Women’s NCAA scoring record. Pay particular attention to how many points and assists she has in the 1st quarter alone. Other records were also broken in that game. Enjoy!

Jordan said in an interview that he learned his trash-talking from Larry!

Enjoyed this. Smart commentary.

Search KZbin for Olden Polynice's response to the Bird-Magic question. Revealing

I've watched them both. Larry is my 3 for my all-time starting five.

thats why MJ droped on his white as. 63 pts and larry called him GOD

Caitlin doing this against top teams with the best player's while getting double and triple teamed. Made championship game back to back. Took down LSU and SC. Set like 60 some records, and people still be hatin'. I mean, come on!!! 😮

Na. Keep em' 10 ft. Tall chick's already dominate underneath because nobody really jumps high. That would make it way too easy to score for taller players. Too big of an advantage for them.

Just watched your Dream Team videos, liked and subscribed!👏👏👏

Don’t lower the women’s hoop. Raise the men’s hoop to 11-12’.

Bro Macao was a starter bro, he's talking about home boy coming off the bench because he took a breather and then went back out bro

bird without question - i don't of any other NBA player that has ever handled the ball like bird.

Bird is a master of the tip-pass. At 14:39 that's a tip-BASKET, isn't it?

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoy hearing your insights and reactions. Those scratches! And how is the man not COVERED in bruises?

Did you notice where Bird was when he casually put that 3pt shot up at 7:16 ?

Welcome to the good old days!!!! The 70’s & 80’s had a lot of bad ass players and they played PHYSICAL!!!! Good times!!! Just saying. 😎🍸

Pip was lurking 😂

Larry Legend, not Larry the Legend.

When jordan jumped. Everyone came down first. Peter pan type shit. Its just not comparable. Lebron wishes he was black jesus

No where near the same league

This is trash compared to jordan

Rim is same height as the NBA

Lebron's game is nothing like Magic or Jordan's. His "bowling ball to the basket" style is spot on with George McGinnis and no one else. If you remember McGinnis you would see much of his style in James.

MJ was the athletic version of LB. Same mindset. Same will.

The announcer didn't say Bird led the league in assists; he said he led the league in assists laying on the floor-- i.e., he had that much hustle, and that great an ability to know where everyone was and get the pass to them through traffic, while lying on his back with the ball in his hands, often/usually absolutely encircled by opposing players. I am just loving your Bird reactions-- a lot of reactors just don't get him, and what he's doing, the way you do. I also love the attention and respect you give the game, including your willingness to rewind and rewatch in order to examine the more surprising, spectacular, hard-to-follow, etc., plays.

Michael Jordan said that Bird taught him everything he knew about trash talking and getting in folks heads. His words. Not mine.

When we're considering whether Larry or LeBron is the better player, senems to me we have to factor in the fact that Larry created, and LeBron learned from, some of what LeBron does. LeBron has said, in interviews I've seen, that it was in studying Larry's game that he, LeBron, began to see the possibilities of his (LeBron's) position...and when asked to name his three top players of all-time, he named Larry among them (I'm not sure, because it was a while ago that I last saw that interview, but I'm thinking Bird was the first of the three players he named). I was really impressed that you mentioned, more than once, that some of LeBron's and MJ's play came after Larry's-- I've heard both of them give him credit where many young reactors seem oblivious to even the possibility that NBA players are often, if not always, students of the game who have learned from those who came before, and incorporated what they've learend into their own games. I've heard MJ more than once say, for ex., that he learned his trash talking from Bird. I was really glad to hear you say that it's untrue that Bird wasn't athletic. Everyone's been saying that for years, and it drives me nuts. It seems they come to that conclusion based on some notion that the only factors that count in athleticism are how high someone can jump and how fast they can run-- with no regard whatsoever for things like hand-eye coordination, footwork, ball-handling (notice the amazingly quick release on many of his passes, including his full-court passes, among his many other dazzling ball-handling moves), IQ, timing, creativity, pace, wit-in-the-context-of-movement-and-the-game...and on and on. And I don't know if stamina and toughness are elements of athleticism, but if/when you react to "Five Times Larry Bird was Injured and REFUSED to Quit" (a mind-boggling video full of fascinating facts most folks have never heard), and other vids that touch on these traits of Bird's, if you do think stamina and toughness are elements of athleticism, you'll see him as an even greater athlete, because I doubt he's second to anyone in these. Btw, I've even heard a few players repeat that "unathletic" thing (though others more accurately phrase it as "he's not fastest runner or the highest jumper" which is certainly true...though it's also true that he didn't need to be...and I've seen him dunk and run in situations where he needed to, in ways that make me wonder what he really could have done if he did need those weapons in his arsenal, and had worked on them as he did, say, his shooting). I've also heard a couple of his NBA contemporaries say he wasn't much of a defender...yet he made all-defense twice, and I don't get how anyone who's watched him play, let alone played against him, could knock his defending abilities. p.s. Speaking of his toughness-- in that Pacers game where he fell on his face, left and went back, it wasn't his back he injured in the fall (although I'm sure his back hurt plenty, since it was so bad he had to lie on his belly in the aisle of planes when the team traveled)-- it was his face. He snuck away when the team doc told him he couldn't go back into the game, and played with a broken face (fractured orbital bone), a concussion and double vision such that he said he saw two baskets, and just picked one and aimed at that one. He did all this with no pain meds-- no shots, not even an aspirin; he never took them (and notice he wasn't wearning goggles or a mask when he returned to win the game. Sorry this is so crazy long...Larry gets sold so short by those who didn't watch him when he was playing, and when I run into a reactor who seems to really understand and love the game, and have what seems like at least a partially open mind, I just can't seem to stop myself from trying to set the record straight, in hopes he might get his due from the generations of basketball fans who weren't around to see him when he was playing.

That's racism is, being uniformed. It was totally racist.

Nah. They’ve trained their entire lives shooting on a regular hoop. It would f up their shooting big time

No, they should not lower the rim. I feel it's almost like an insult for them. And as for CC, you should look at all the records she has broken just on her rookie year....check it out!!

Bro ,he hit 7 3s in the last quarter,,, wow

Bird > LeBron, Bird > Magic, Bird > Jordan

Larry stayed with Boston, LeBron goes where better players and gets better players to play with. Then bird almost had a quadruple double 1 steal away. Sat down 4th cause they were killin em

8' 😂😂😂. Seriously why don't the men raise their rim? Mugsy didn't have problems dunking.

No, Larry was not a gambler, he would do it with his team mates ,,

You can do any Jordan or Bird video and ill watch ❤🎉❤🎉 You load it, we will come 😂

Its pretty easy, Bird and Jordan. The only true GOATS Loving your reactions ❤🎉

Thank you!! Larry Was an amazing athlete. Having a 50 in veryical doesn't make you an athlete. There was only one guy Jordan coulnt beat ( and Jordan and Bird are both my goats ) and that was Bird. Not only was he an athlete but he was the most all around player I ever watched but also, the smartest. Thanks for your reaction ❤🎉 And, I've been watching basketball for 40 years, Lebron, isnt even close ...

Top five at least maybe top three player of all time

Bird is the only player Ive seen trash talking referees... And get away with it too 🤣

Your right bro,, challenge yourself
