45 Minutes of Larry Bird Stories told by NBA Legends

[@brushylake4606]

Larry Bird's greatest career achievement was leaving Charles Barkley speechless. No other human has ever accomplished this feat.

[@robertthompson3654]

[@BB-yh5rd]

According to a lot of legend players Bird was the boogeyman that gave them nightmares. A dude that played fast pitch softball with my dad in the 1970s when men's softball was a pretty big deal. Guy was a Gonzaga great from the 1960s, got me an intro to John Stockton in the late 1980s. I asked him who was funner to play against, Bird or Magic, he just smirked and said they were both nasty, Magic just did it with a big smile on his face.

[@timorean320]

Bird was the biggest trash talker ever.

[@OriginalPuro]

It's difficult to understand some of the people talking in this video, though. "wha wus id?" "we playing" "it was fuh cuh" and such, like they slur their words a lot. PS: It might be the audio quality, to be fair.

Same. Mad respect for Kareem.

[@atrain882]

Thank you for telling the true story about a white boy from Indiana. Much praise to you, my brother man respect much love.💯

[@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals]

Larry and Magic made me realize that there's a huge difference between being a scorer and being a winner. Larry had that intangible characteristic of WINNING.

[@BB-yh5rd]

I grew up eating, breathing and drinking basketball. When I was 9 my dad took me to the Bird/Magic Final Four. Blew my mind. Those two were so great the current NBA might not exist if it were not for their existence. Great channel, friend. Keep it coming.

[@rustywagner30]

It wouldn't NBA wss on its death bed

[@SantiagoMouzon]

I'll finish with this... Bird broke the Doctor down to a point that DR. J wanted to fight. That's LEGEND. He and Jordan possessed that "IT". Nothing more

[@gerimayawhyte154]

I'm a huge Bird fan but Bird was clearly front running with the Dr. Even Parish said Bird was out of pocket and said that's why he didn't help him out during the escalation.

[@thesentinelsfootballchanne3212]

45 minutes of Larry Bird stories!!??! Inject it into my veins!!!!!! So happy you dropped this video today BTM. Happy Sunday!

[@circusfreak7766]

I grew up in NW Indiana playing ball. I was 11 when ISU and MSU faced off and Bird was my role model from that point on. I am so grateful I was able to follow him and watch him play for his entire career. I had the Bird poster where he is sitting in a nest on the rim in my room and I would tap it every Friday on my way to play IN HS ball. Love the Legend! Thank you Larry and thank you BTM for this an your other videos.

[@Harerazer]

The GOAT. Period.

[@joshuaconrad7391]

What made Bird and most the other legendary players so rememberable. They all prioritized winning over anything else. They didn't need to light up the box score or hit a buzzer beater. Just so they could have the spotlight in. There's only 2 players. I knew if that if my team was up by 2 points. With even a few seconds left on the clock. With the other team in possession of the ball. That game was over with, my team is going to lose. There's nothing we could do to stop it. Those two players are Larry Bird and Robert Horry. Robert Horry, in my opinion, is the best role player of all time. With 7 NBA championships Horry won. That backs up my claim.

[@nathangrund7216]

Much like the guy who admitted he used to pray to the poster which is already I've of my favourite stories. I will never ever tire of hearing Larry Bird stories. The gentlemen who shared the story of how Larry made him earn respect from everyone by earning his stripes is also just another fantastic example of the respect he really does deserve. Consider your self lucky you were able to see any of Larry. I was born in 78 in a tiny country town in Australia. The Jordan juggernaut helped me gain a love for basketball through playing the game. I was never great, something that's expected of you, because people here think that I'm tall when I maxed out 6'4. But I never ever wanted to come off the court when I played. Something happened on the basketball court that never happened when I played Aussie rules, that was that I always wanted the ball and for some reason never seemed to get gassed, and I definitely ran hard both ways. Thank you to the American guys from Alice Springs who taught me how to hustle and crash the boards. Thank you for your work in bringing me the videos and stories that I would never have been able to see if I didn't live in a world with KZbin.

[@jasonmccaffrey3439]

Grew up watching Bird with my Dad, best years of my life. He surprised one year and took me to the hall of fame game in Springfield Mass and we had seats behind the basket. I was in complete awe... seeing my favorite team and favorite player

[@ScottM-l3u]

Nice.

[@marykuettner752]

Bird was so much fun to watch. He waz always having a good time before his back was hurt. It wasn't such a business with so many people depending on the star player. He wasn't worried about diving for a ball or going out for beers.

[@ABBABEER]

Thank You, Birds Trash talk makes my sour day happy I chuckle so like a nut!

[@burlykim132]

I feel the same wistfulness about wanting to have seen Larry play in Boston in his prime. My favourite Larry story is probably the one where the other team gets fined because they’re cheering him on as they’re so blown away by the shots he was making. The GOAT impo. ❤LarryLegend Thank you for your channel as I love all these classic basketball stories and clips and you’re a great source.

[@waltlafferty4964]

I watched many many games of Bird, Magic and Dr J. I loved them all. But I was a huge Pistons fan. It was a great era of basketball.

[@Crackers2549]

I LOVE THIS...! He was my all time favorite and will always be...! Fellow Hoosier! #33 YES

[@jingqi9106]

Larry Bird is the best all-around player I ever saw. Larry could do it all - shoot from deep, score anywhere on the court, pass with the best of em, and Larry Legend was an excellent rebounder. Larry was also an underrated defender and I think he was all-NBA defense three times.

[@basicbreakfast]

Grew up local and watching Larry and the Celts VERY often in the 80’s as well as the NCAA and all the stars at that magical time. Phi Slamma Jamma, Big East games every Saturday afternoon on the tube. I watched the Sixers game when Dr. J snapped and lost his mind, had NO idea what Larry said to him up until now 🤣 You are my official Larry Legend source now man!💥 Thx for that! The fact that Larry torqued his back out shoveling stone doing his mothers driveway himself tells you all you need to know what a special cat he was.

[@chriserdmann2477]

My man, I was born in the ‘70s but couldn’t / didn’t appreciate great hoops until I was an adult. MJ is the consummate scorer. But Legend was the comprehensive player. He had no weakness. 110% every game. An amazing man and player.

[@JJFX-]

Only weakness was his body. The back just couldn't keep up with his mind. Seriously some of the fouls on him would be a sports media scandal today but he'd shake it and get ready for the next one. It's so sad to see kids today trash talking this era because of the media when they could learn so much from it..

[@mykoniichistorychannel]

I was born in 1990, so I only got to see what he can do before KZbin were retrospective pieces.

[@SantiagoMouzon]

They should do a movie on Larry Legend. Title: Larry Legend

[@luvL3e]

My friend you just had me recall back in the 80's wen I was in my late 20's. Not caring a THING about b.ball (of course being a white GIRL lol) but hearing a lot about Larry. So I asked my father "Is Larry Bird really a good player?" And my father who to this day was the most BRILLIANT man I EVER encountered! Responded as tho I asked him the meaning of life lol. Like the answer was just to enormous for words n said, "Oh yes!" Well looking back on that I was kind of upset that he didn't emphasize it more emphatically 4 me to pay more attention sooner than close to his retirement. I felt like i missed out on a lot. But thx to ppl like u i again get reminded I can still watch him today! And wat a treat it is! thank u

[@faith.s_mom]

Great reaction, sir. Yes, I got to see Larry Legend play. Boston Garden was only about an hour's drive from where I grew up in Mass. He was everything the basketball gurus say, and more. Simply a magician on the court~ like he had eyes in the back of his head, and he could see two plays ahead of everyone else. It was like an artist painting his masterpiece nearly every time he stepped onto the boards (before injuries started taking a toll on his performance). My favorite Larry Bird highlight reels are the ones of his passing game~ they best illustrate what I'm talking about. Court vision and IQ off the charts. I love Michael Cooper's response to Larry's statements about Cooper being the best player to ever guard him~ what a humble, class act, giving credit to his teammates. Mad respect for both Larry and Cooper. 💚🍀🍀🍀

[@alonzomadero9413]

I was born in 1961, graduated from Lordsburg High School in 1979. Lordsburg, NM is a very small town of about 5000 people located on the “boot heel “ of New Mexico. I played varsity Basketball my Senior year, I was attending New Mexico State University in the fall of 1979. NMSU was in the Missouri Valley Conference that year along with Indiana State. NMSU finished second in the conference that year , behind Larry Bird and Indiana State. Larry Bird was my favorite player. Indiana State played at NMSU that February and won. I think it was that game where Mr. Bird chased a loose ball and ended up in the crowd and some fool hit him with a rolled up program! Mr. Bird punched him in the face! It turned out to be a guy from Lordsburg! He was seen around town with a nice shiner, well deserved I might add! Lol. NMSU lost to Weber St in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Larry Bird and Indiana State went on to play for the Championship against Magic and Michigan State.

Totally understand your closing remarks when you say very few people close to you appreciate the 80’s-90’s game as we both do. I have the exact same feeling and wish I saw more games of LB back in the day. I do think there are players that are as good or even better than Larry, but he is without hesitation my all-time favorite. I grew up in The Netherlands where the NBA was only broadcasted occasionally, but I do remember seeing glimpses of of his greatness in the late 80’s playing MJ, Barkley, Kareem, Magic, Malone, Dominique, Robinson, including some play-offs. I had to watch games in the middle of the night. Love your videos Shaun and look forward to see more. Greetings from Europe!

when Bird was healthy he was the best all-around player I've ever seen play. the injuries prevented him from playing about 3 more seasons. so clutch when pressure was on. he & Jordan were the best I've ever seen when the game was on the line. I'm so glad I got to see him play live, twice.

You make some of the best Larry Bird Videos, Saun David and I and your other subscribers definitely appreciate your Hard Work!!! And I was Lucky growing up seeing just about all of the Game's that was playing on TV at the time. And when my parents didn't want to watch NBA games I had to go out and buy my own TV granted it was a black and white TV. But I didn't care as long as I could watch the Legend in the Making. And it was never visible to us watching the Game that Larry Bird was telling anything to anyone unless the announcer announced it on the TV and then you might see them talking to each other exchanging compliments 😂. Great Job with your Work.

[@J.Wick.]

Sean, I completely agree with your closing statement. I too was born in the early 80s and only got to see/remember Larry around the last 1-2yrs he played. I truly wish I could've seen him play live in his prime. Video is one thing, but to see it live, totally different. The more I see, and read about the man, the more impressed I am by him. Legend. Larry. Cheers.

[@bbwng54]

[@Sleepy4213]

Larry was Savage. Huge part of my love for the game was Mid 80’s. Bird McHale and Parrish were so unbelievably dominant. It was like motivating to see how well they played together. Bird was so fluid when he was on, shooting passing, great plays. Please don’t let these modern fans with recency bias tell you otherwise. The game was far more physical, but the heroes that rose above the brutality were awesome.

[@wesleyprince3465]

Earned a sub with this. Bird still is, and probably always will be, in my top 3 all time, idc. Its Bron, MJ, Bird in whatever order you wanna put them in, idc. His skills, play style, and ridiculous confidence could truly transcend eras. Bird during his 5 year peak would be atleast a top 5 player in the league maybe even top 3 or the best if you stick him in ANY era you want to, from the 50s to right now in 2024. Also wanna point out he's one of the few oldhead/OGs who don't make a personality outta shitting on current players and the current league in general. He actively praises young modern players and talks all day about how he loves the current state of the league/game. Bro is just as big of a fan of Bron, Steph, and Jokic as he was a fan of Jordan and his own teammates/competitors (specifically bro has talked immensely about how much he loved prime Klay Thompson's game in interviews, just for example) For some reason thats really hard for oldheads and legends to do. And you would expect the opposite from such a legendary shit talker, youd almost expect him to be one of those clown ass dudes who swears that like Lebron wouldn't be good BaCk In ThEiR DaY for example. Nah, instead hes quick to hype the current league and stars. Its wild to me. Larry is TRULY just a fan of good hoops above all else. Top 3 for me, idc.

Makes me realize how guys I admire when I was really into basketball looked up to a guy like Bird. HE HAD GAME!

[@Ville-u8g]

The reason Larry Bird isnt remembered to the extent he deserves, was because the NBA basketball media began growing faster in the 90s, started skyrocketing round 2000. The media hype with everything nowadays with KZbin and sports media is huge.

When people said Larry wasnt Athletic and i think Magic to a lesser extent falls in this category too, they dont realize this guys were real 6´9´´ players doing EVERYTHING on the court, in Chuck Taylors. People acting like they should have fly like the 6´3 guys from todays game.

[@jaredbracci3529]

I witnessed BIRD throw a 75 ft dead on pass after grabbing a rebound in traffic (LEFTY). He was athletic, they just couldn’t find flaws in his game so they had to say something. FACT: Just because you’re😊 not the MOST athletic player on the court, doesn’t mean your not athletic.

[@dominicmesserly7489]

Sean David, I love your appreciation for the great players like Larry and Magic and all the rest. I really appreciate the biographies you put together on these guys. I feel you when you express how you wish you could have experienced the Magic-Bird rivalry in its prime. I grew up in a small town in SE Ohio, born in 1971. For various reasons I grew up loving Dr. J. He was my idol when I was a kid. He was physically amazing and exuded a certain class and aura that was almost indescribable. Every kid in our neighborhood talked about him probably more than any other player at the time. Conversely, I detested the Celtics and Larry Bird. As Dr. J. and Philly struggled to get to championships, it was always Larry and company that would dash our dreams. The reason I hated him so much was because of how dangerous he was to the Sixers and their playoff chances. Just like Magic said years later, Larry was the guy he feared most. So, many years later, as I've realized more about life and sports, I readily admit that Larry was just great, and there is no denying it. This was a great highlight reel of Larry's legend. Please keep up the great work. If I could ask a huge favor or you. Please take a moment to examine the careers of two other great players from the same era. Sidney Moncrief and Andrew Toney. You may have already done this, but if you have not, please look into their careers. Andrew Toney could have been one of the best ever. And Moncrief was incredible. Like us against the Celtics, he and his team could just never get past the Sixers in the playoffs. Thank you for all the great biographical videos on the legends of the NBA. *I just did a quick search and it looks like you've already done one on Andrew Toney. I'm just about to check it out. I'll keep a lookout for Moncrief too. Thank you!
