Magic got a standing ovation from the Boston crowd when he came out!! That's respect and love!!! They've been brothers for 40 years!!

[@ericroberts7485]

I guarantee you Isaiah Thomas didn’t like him. Today he’s pretty complimentary. When I was a kid I liked Magic. I never liked Bird because I thought he looked ridiculous. Magic had style. I was a little biased towards black players which funny because I’m white. Now I look at old footage and I realize Larry was better than Magic. Bird is severely under appreciated. Garry Payton said as much.

[@darkomtobia]

Bird, McHale, and Parish were not winning any beauty contests, lol.

[@rickiovine2170]

Larry shot with his right hand. But, he writes with his left. And, throughout his career he used his left hand when the situation called for it. But, to only use his left hand takes away his biggest weapon which was his outside shot. It was an amazing performance.

[@babyfry4775]

That would be me. I’m left handed in that I write, eat and do some other tasks left handed but all sports are right handed. Strange I know. My husband is left handed too but does most things left handed but not all.

[@michellejackson6679]

You can't call it arrogance when you are that great.. it's confidence in his game. He didn't say anything, apparently, that he couldn't backup. I love the respect other players had for him... I'm sure they hated him when they were playing against him.. but years later.. respect.

[@Mazzini11]

Larry's dominant shooting hand was his right hand, not his left. He shattered the knuckles in his right hand playing softball before being drafted. He spent the rest of his basketball career including his left hand. But he was NOT left-handed.

[@rafehr1378]

Birdman signs with the Left-hand. I've seen it.

[@gianagibson3777]

He is right handed shooter

[@John-fk3rv]

Love the AC/DC shirt💯

[@robgelfand2414]

Bird was just different. His confidence in his game was on another level. He demanded the ball at the most important times of the game because he believed nobody could stop him, even if he told them what he was about to do, and he would make the shot. These are Hall of Famers talking about Bird and what he did. Show me another NBA player in the history of the NBA that even comes close to doing what Bird did. Yes, there are other great players who wanted the ball, but did they tell the other team what they were going to do before they did it, especially as many times as Bird did?

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Exactly! I've never heard of any other player that could call their shots & then do it! Lol. With the exception of Babe Ruth! Lol.

[@alanfoster6589]

Finally...a properly edited version of this. Kudos to you.

[@bleachedbrother]

This is the best video compilation of Bird trash talk on KZbin. Period. VERY WELL EDITED. My only disappointment is that Jamal Mashburn's story with the 1992 Dream Team was missing.

[@jamesharvey7492]

Your right.very enjoyable!!

[@johnharris6087]

Yes, totally. That story just sums up what a different breed of player these guys were

[@clifflawrence7479]

I disagree. There is one on here that goes all the way to the dream team and Jamal Mashburn even tells a story

[@michellejackson6679]

BTW.. I love her T-Shirt.. Didn't know that AC/DC came out in 73.. I learned something today.. lol.. Thank you

[@1982jeepcj8]

As a ambidextrous person myself, I experienced my left hand being suppressed by teachers in PUBLIC school (1979, 1980,all the way through second grade, including having my knuckles rapped with a yard stick when I wrote with my Left hand. This was partly because the teachers religious views the left hand was the devil at work. It would not surprise me a bit that Larry experienced the same thing in his small town. Students were taught to conform or else in the times before.

[@babyfry4775]

I’m left handed (never experienced what you did though) but I do play all sports right handed. It’s weird. Can do a few things with both hands but they’re minor.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

That's how it was when I was in school too! Crappy for all the poor kids that were left handed!

[@ldybozz]

Larry is left handed. Watch how he signs autographs. He signs with his left hand. He is able to play with his right as well. #birdgang💚🐐🍀

[@hookedonreactions7649]

Yep. Most left handed people are ambidextrous to an extent, or at least the ones I’ve known. His right hand was dominant when he was on the court though. He said he’d have to go back to the right if the game got close. But he was definitely left handed off the court.

[@babyfry4775]

@@hookedonreactions7649 Yeah I’m left handed but play all sports right handed. It’s strange.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

But he always shot with his right hand!!! He only did certain shots with his left hand!

[@hookedonreactions7649]

@@Sunny-jz3dy my left handed mom could do a lot of things with her right hand, as can my niece. Left handed people learn from watching right handed people, as a rule, so they learn to do a lot of stuff right handed. I would assume most people sign with their dominant hand and he definitely signs with his left hand.

[@adamdavis2760]

Larry was different because he was a smart player who could play 1-5. He understood the game from every position. What made him good was his work ethic. He never gave up on a play, worked on both sides of the ball...he could rebound. pass and shoot the lights out. Watch him shoot, a good portion of his shots don't touch the rim ...that comes from work, muscle memory and taking thousands of shots

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Yrp! Majority of Birds shots....are all net!

[@magdalenarangel53]

I love your reaction to Larry Legend Bird. Most reaction people, never recognize how great Larry Legend was. They always try to diminish his amazing abilities. You get it. You have a new subscriber. ♥️🏀♥️

[@tylergagnon4850]

Magic told a story about when he was invited to Larrys house while they were shooting a commercial in birds hometown. Larrys mom made them lunch and when she brought it out to them she said "did you tell him yet?" Larry said "No mom you tell him". Birds mother went "Magic, youre my favorite basketball player." all magic said was "Thank you mama Bird!"

[@margaretswearingen2371]

Actually Bird is ambidextrous and can use both hands equally. Ever watch him sign an autograph? He signs left handed. But the guys/brothers he played ball with when he was younger helped make his right hand shooting better. But he always shoots with what ever hand is needed based on the situation at the time.

[@ContrarianCorner]

Bird is not ambidextrous. The proper term is 'cross-dominant.' This means he has a dominant hand for different things. I know because I'm the same way. I write with my left hand but play all sports and musical instruments with my right hand. While it's true that Bird developed his left-handed playing to a very high degree, he said himself that when the game got close he switched back to his right (dominant) hand. True ambidexterity is extremely rare and means that a person can perform a given task equally well with both hands. That doesn't describe Bird or anyone else who is cross-dominant.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

I was gonna say the same thing! LOL

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Larry Bird's 1st coach in the NBA Coach Fitch.... used to call him Kodak! Because of the way Bird saw the game ....his court vision was phenomenal and just blew Coach Fitch out of the water! I know the other players on the team had a problem with the way Coach Fitch did things. But Larry Bird loved him and he made sure that Fitch was there with him.... when he was being inducted in the hall of fame! I thought that was awesome and I know it really touched Fitch that Bird held him in such high regard.

[@clifflawrence7479]

She is correct in saying some people say that Bird is left handed. It’s mainly Bird haters and deniers. I argued with one some time ago and finally said he was right and I was wrong. Then I told him apparently by his description there was a night that Bird had 60 with his off hand. That shut him up

[@chris93703]

23:22 Not a lot of hatred back then, well, it depends. Most players didn't hate each other but there were exceptions such as Bird and Laimbeer. Most retired players from back then don't hate each other or hold grudges and have left it all on the court. I think players hated losing more back then and there were more fights. I don't get that same feeling of rivalry any more such as the Celtics and Lakers when watching todays games.

[@yomommaahotoo264]

If he was left handed, what does that make him when always playing right handed?

[@babyfry4775]

Well, I’m left handed in that I write and eat left handed but do all sports right handed. It’s strange.

[@danacarter4793]

Great reaction,glad to see ya gf ,love your AC/DC shirt 👕 , ok bird 🐦 ,he was different he loved a challenge the harder the better ,ok on Larry,he wrote left handed,but he did most everything else right handed ,I watched a interview years ago ,he said he was injured on crutches and was bored so he would play around shooting left handed, love my bird 🐦#LB33 💚🏀🐦💯

[@AEric7]

Greatest overall player ever

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

They described it a few times.... there was never a hate element ...it was being a fierce competitor and keeping that edge on the court! But...off the court ....usually these guys are fine with each other.

[@user-zo5cc2ns8z]

Top small forward of all time. My top 5 . Mike, Wilt , Kareem , Bird , and Bill Russell . I have LeBron 6 . Young folks forget how long the NBA existed. It is fortunate to see even 1 top 5 player in a lifetime. You put guys that you have seen a brief time all in the top 5. I was lucky to see 3 .

[@newerafrican]

Larry was actually a lefty (handwriting) but played ball right-handed.

[@rafehr1378]

Birdman is Left-handed. Signs with the Left.

[@cherylcaldwell1522]

I think back in the day They hated the player, but they respected the man.

[@stevans6942]

Yeah that is not trash talk... but it's work when you can back it up.... look that guys on the bench they know they can't do nothing about it and enjoy the show having a great time :)

[@lunaticfringe7741]

Right 🖐

[@timothyking7117]

Bird’s dominant shooting hand was his right, but I noticed that he wrote with his left. I always found it interesting that Laker HOF guard Jerry West also shot with his right but wrote with the left? Have no idea what it means though

[@ricklove8588]

He is right handed. He said just before you paused when the game got close i had to go back to my right

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Bird did shoot primarily with his right hand but he does write with his left hand. Its very common for those who are left handed to use their right hand in sports.

[@John-fk3rv]

💯

[@darrinleroy4869]

Larry Bird is Right Handed, but he writes with his left

Checkout the Clayton Crowley NBA videos. Especially his Making the Case series on his top 7 candidates for GOAT. Chamberlain, Russel, Bird, Magic, Jabbar, Jordan, Tim Duncan.

[@74900kdw]

Why would Bird tell everyone he was gonna play the next game left handed if he was left handed? That would be like saying the next game I'm gonna play exactly like I always do. That doesn't make any sense. Yes he is right handed.

[@chipurBillWhite]

Nice job, guys. Enjoyed it.

[@Video_Crow]

When Magic was diagnosed with HIV, Larry was one of the first people to call him. That was back when hardly anything was known about the disease, but what Larry knew for sure was that his friend needed support.

[@MaRoach7]

Love the AC/DC shirt

[@EwAndIReact]

You guys should make your box larger. We’re here for your reaction but it’s hard to see y’all. Thank you for the great content!

[@hjdaboss786]

That man could shoot with either hand and make good defenders look stupid. You had to play Bird smart kinda like playing chess, you needed to be one step ahead of him or he would beat you mentally and physically.

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

Jordan and Magic both called him The GOAT.

[@donechols3937]

You kinda have to take some of the people,and question did they really like,Bird. Like Ainge he did want Larry and Kevin to be traded around 88.

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

Wasn't a lot of hatred or fights back in the day???? girl.....

[@hershelheilig2278]

Let me you help you. There was no hate! As a person that played alot and even fought friends in games. You hated the other team! You hated during the game no matter what your relationship was! The understanding was we good....but dueing this game. ..we are not FRIENDS! After we back coo...but we may fight.

[@patrickbateman7369]

Ohhh she's a little slow

[@fgoogle5576]

No mam, real fights and real hate. Today is a joke, and no real fights. Talk all day, never throw a punch. Hold me back tough guys. Today is a joke compared. NBA truly sucks today.... complete trash

[@keithrosenthal4757]

Their was a lot of hatred and racism back then , that’s why bird and magic was so great. Larry Bird, who grew where the KKK was born. It is a miracle that Larry Bird was not a racist. Here is a man who broke down every barrier and also is one of the greatest players of all time.
