Understand that this is a TV show where Bird is basically the antagonist and seen from Magic's POV. Bird was an old-school competitor who would let everyone know that he was the big dog. If you google "Greatest NBA Trash Talker" you'll find him at #1 on most lists, yet he was reserved off the court. Not many people actually knew him. If this show makes it to 1986 and that Converse commercial shot in French Lick where Bird invited Magic to lunch at his mother's house, you'll get the other side of him.

I was disappointed that they did it that way. I was around in these times and this is the worst bio-type series I have ever seen. They make excuses for Magic left and right and never admit that he lost to the Celtics because they had a better team at that time and Larry was the better all-around player period.

This synopsis glosses over Bird going to Indiana University and playing under Bobby Knight. Bird quit the team in frustration with Knight, and then took the next year off working odd jobs. It is true Indiana State came to him and gave him another shot. Rest is history and the amazing story of Larry Legend. I saw all of this going on in my late teens and twenties. Always loved it when Boston beat LA, my favorite games to watch.

This actor's presence is eeiry how much he not only captures how Larry Legend look, how he talk, move around, but his entire essence. It look less like an actor playing him than they did a deep-fake it so spot-on. The rest of the cast look like what it is: actors doing a reenactment of real life events, but the Larry stand-in don't seem like a body double. It look like they digitally inserted actual documentary footage of Larry Bird into the existing shot scenes of the movie with the lookalikes from set.

As a frustrated NY Knicks fan back in the 1980's, I'm glad on the depiction of Larry Bird in this series. I haven't watched the series yet because I'm aware that it's based on true events and some of the series is a bit fabricated. But Larry 1st, and then Julius Erving were my favorite players growing up. I don't care what today's fans think of today's GOAT conversations. I won't argue about Michael Jordan and LeBron James because those great players have amazing stats. But Larry Legend and Dr. J will always be my guys. And I revere Earvin Magic Johnson, Kareem and the other Lakers, but I was an east coast fan at heart. I always say this from other forums on KZbin, the 1981 & 1982 Eastern Conference Finals were the best back-to-back 7 game series I've ever watched. The 1981 ECF by itself is considered the best 7 game series in NBA history to this day. I never get bored rewatching those series.

This is a decent portrayal of a Bird from the perspective of your typical Laker fan.

I get its made for TV but come on. They made Magic look almost schizophrenic. They both state during that time that they respected each other even though they weren't friends. In this it sounds like Larry Bird is an asshole for assholes sake which he isnt. Most NBA players who played against him describe his trash talk as low, quiet and matter of factly. "I'm gonna go over to this corner for a jumper and it better not touch the rim, if it does I'm gonna come right back here and do it again." This imagining of Bird seems like hes always angry.

Beta white male fantasy. Magic didn't give TWO shits about Bird.

Magic gave him the smile and he went away, but the camera stayed on Magic and he started making a circular motion with his finger on his head "that clown is crazy".

Got a lot of folks in the comments talking about how Larry isn't like this, how funny he is, and you're all right... but you're also missing context. We've got all the interviews of Larry and Magic as friends now, but this story is being told from the perspective of the Lakers during the 80's. And to those Lakers (and basically anyone who wasn't an actual Boston Celtic or a member of the Bird Family) this is a perfect depiction of Larry, because that is all he let ANYONE see. This is brilliant characterization on the part of the storytellers and a knockout performance by every actor involved. If you're gonna tell the story of Magic and Bird as a STORY, rather than as a documentary, then Bird is your natural Villain. He's your Darth Vader. And even though it isn't accurate to his actual personality, it IS accurate to his personality as he allowed himself to be perceived by the world.

Larry legend had a sense of humor and humility about him not how WT is making him out to be but they do need a villain so it makes sense but they need to make more episodes canceling wt was crazy

They got Bird on the court right, but off of it he LOVED to party with his teamates. Its not a coincidence he won 3 straight NBA MVPs after they traded his drinking buddy Rick Robey. Winning Time portrayed Larry as a heartless killer but in real life, off the court he was jovial and happy

If you watched the first season when Magic made it to the finals the first time they had bird watching the series from Indiana with his brothers were using racial slurs. From what Magic really said, is that his family loved him in real life.

I just saw a snip of Bird and MJ from mid to late 90s they were both cursing like sailors at each other, it was hilarious it was in a brotherly love place though not hateful but you can tell there's alot respect between those two ,but any way , I kind of believe Bird let the words fly on the court and a little off too

The series is interesting but what they did to Bird was unfair. I doubt they would have the courage to bring up the part where Larry invites Magic.

Why did they turn Larry Bird into a cartoon villain? If he was anything like this, why do the former opponents (including Magic) respect him so much? According to the NBA stars he played against, Bird 'trash talked' by either telling defenders what he was going to do before he did it, or was being funny. Here Bird is portrayed as a psychopath. It makes everything else make no sense.
