The reason LT became emotional, and the real reason behind their falling out is because LT, as great as he was, respected Harry and, on a deep level, needed Harry's approval. When LT was struggling with his demons, he thought that Harry disapproved of him, and that killed LT.

To have your mentor talk about your greatness holding your shoulder while you can’t speak because of the grief and regret, was one of the most human moments I’ve seen. Someone who has seen your highs and lows standing up for you during your moment of need is a truly human moment of great significance. I think looking back at things Lawrence was a very hurt and wounded person. But he could only express these feelings with anger, and facilitated this anger on the football field to a point of MVP status. It’s crazy that such an incredible athlete could be so vulnerable emotionally. Really shows the human aspect of everything, he’s just a wild person who can’t express energy and emotion verbally, so he does it physically to great applause from unaware onlookers, who don’t understand the true nature of this wild, but human athlete.

I keep remembering a story I heard Michael Jordan tell a long time ago about Lawrence Taylor. Both went to North Carolina, and on the weekend there was an outdoor court they used to play basketball on and they were playing. So at some point, LT approached and called next game. Problem was no one wanted to play with Lawrence cause he had earned a rep, he was hyper competitive and played dirty as hell, he'd foul the hell outta anyone, and insist you stayed & played again if he lost, so they told him they were playing just this game then they had to split. So, he says Lawrence stood there staring at everybody intimidating as hell, then he walked over to the goal, & jumped up and pulled the rim & net both down, & said y'all ain't playing no more then you won't be needing the damn goal. So he took it back to his dorm room with him. Mike said we just looked at each other and laughed......

I can confirm this anecdote, as I was there. At the time I was a redshirt senior on the football team, second string placeholder for the kicker. 6'0", 169 lbs and not just an animal in the weight room but a flesh-and-blood inspiration to teammates like LT. Would put up 185 on the bench for 5-6 reps, no problem. Yup. Any event, I had taken an interest in MJ during that time period and was attempting to teach him how to do a fadeaway jumper. He stuck his nose up at me back then but I noticed years later he employed that very move, to the elongation of his HOF career. But, yes, I can confirm this LT-MJ connection, true story.

Damn seeing LT cry that made me star struck I would never imagine seeing a man that tough that much grit have emotions. I love this please do more of these videos

[@KamikOzzy_]

Flying _ Dorito we all have emotions man, no tough man can handle everything.

[@mire295]

Orlando chavez yeah that’s true

[@jamesharvey5644]

you can tell how intelligent Harry Carson is from just hearing him talk for 30 seconds

[@renegobzalez7306]

LT crying got me crying. Crazy stuff. When a MAN cries. Everybody takes notice

[@bascoshyne9629]

And that's the truth my brother

[@EE-bg1de]

facts, hit me deep. As men, you gotta talk man, communicate. Not about toughness/macho, sometimes you gotta break bread and just lay it out there.

[@ishinault35]

I’m crying like a hurt child but it’s with pride.

[@kaylonmccomb518]

Damn this was deeper than expected, really had me in tears. This was beautiful to watch. Great exchange between a great group of men.

[@drobson8004]

Well said.

[@ellicottraven2037]

I love the humility of Ray Lewis! All these legends sitting across from each other reminiscing. Very cool.

[@mightyjoe3849]

I'm old enough to remember watching Willie Lanier play! He is the architect of that position along with Butkus. AND,,,,he is 74 years old and looks terrific!!! WoW!

[@notoriouszig]

It's nice to see Harry Carson getting his due for what he did to allow LTs greatness to really come through. I've always felt that Carson was one of a very select club: underrated Hall of Famers.

[@dantesinfernopurgatory7826]

During Harry Carson's 12 years with the Giants, opponents averaged just 80 yards/game. Very few teams successfully ran on the Giants when Carson was patrolling the middle.

[@wbdrugstrat]

That was absolutely touching. I loved the LT and Carson moment. We all know how difficult it has been for Lawrence to get rid of LT and all the demons that come with it, I only hope that he succeeds. As far as Lanier, he goes further back than my generation, so I really don't have a a good grasp of his career, but it is clear that he was the core of a great championship team. Watching Singletary, Carson and Lewis is to look at three of the greatest team captains that ever lived, in all of sports history. Awesome interview and discussion to watch.

[@eliduttman315]

@Carlos Perez That was a GOOD Chiefs bunch. OLB Bobby Bell, DT Buck Buchanan, & DE Jerry Mays among them. They were pretty darned good on offense too, with QB Len Dawson, WR Otis Taylor, and RB Mike Garrett.

[@wbdrugstrat]

@@eliduttman315 easily one of the greatest teams of all time. Bobby Bell is one of my favourite of all time.

[@wbdrugstrat]

@FightMan so far there does not seem to be a clear story from either party. There may be more information on another interview or publication out there. It would be interesting to look that up.

[@JAWrightonline]

@FightMan That's between them. It's not in our jurisdiction. Let it be.

[@angelsosa5903]

Wow great job NFL this is amazing

[@reddickrufus]

The tougher you are the quicker tears come to your eyes. I played linebacker in high school, LT and Mike Singletary were the men I grew up watching and in became the Ray Lewis of my team!

[@BadgerBJJ]

LT burned hot as hell. Singletary had those eyes. That intensity.

[@gregeverett764]

facts

[@Emperor.Penguin.]

The middle linebackers were the generals of the defense and a good one is as important as the Quarterback.

[@joshthompson5081]

This is out of control good! Third time watching. Could watch for hours!! LT is the dude. My favorite player of all time

[@euriel5664]

Probably my favorite one. No egos, just passion for the game and each other. Ray Lewis was a great moderator. So respectful and hardly talked about himself, even though I definitely would liked hearing some of his stories.

[@cerebralmindgame9818]

This was the best KZbin video I've watched in a long time. The quickest 20 minutes of my life to see all 5 of these legends at one table paying homage to the warrior position of linebacker 😢👌🏾.

[@hiphopesq]

@5:10 Harry Carson telling LT "you were good" is amazing. Understatement of the year, but also an interesting dynamic between two HoF teammates. Carson is still the older brother to LT after all these years.

[@lightzs6249]

I always felt that Harry was the one to keep LT in check and humble him

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

Straight up greatness sitting at that table.....I mean five of the absolute best linebackers to ever play the game..

Remember they are Linebackers they like everything to be rough and rugged looking,because that’s the way they played the game,it wasn’t pretty but it the job done,exactly like the table!!!!

[@uscgnyc2322]

This was absolutely amazing. The love HC has for Lawrence Taylor was pure joy to see Expressed. As he cried, and if you know of his lifestyle and struggles with addiction....you can clearly see there is so much there unsaid. Great video

[@MarcDaniels7]

Damm man I was about 9 or something when I saw LT intercept that pass Vs Detroit and run it back something like 90 yards for a TD and can still picture him doing that slide into the End Zone bc he said later he didnt know what to do after scoring a TD being a Linebacker. I have to say growing up in Fairfield county Connecticut (a suburb of NYC) I was "with him" for every up and every down; seeing him get emotional about his teammate Harry Carson really got me choked up. This show was great it surprised me and caught me off guard; really great guys appreciate it. *If LT or Harry happens to see these comments somehow I will also add a little personal story: My dad took me to a Giants game when I was that age (like 9 or so) with his buddies and after the game my dads pals knew what resteraunt/sports bar alot of the Giants players went to after a game. LT was there, Harry Carson too and I went up to LT just a tiny little midget in a sports bar probably with a Shirly Temple in my hand and asked him for an autograph, LT to be honest kind of gave me the brush off. Harry Carson (and this is a true story) said to LT something to the effect come on man give the kid an autograph. LT reluctantly did and it was Harry being Harry the big brother, gracious as ever that he did. It is not a mean story it warms my heart to think about it today. Love that Big Blue team thanks for the memories guys. #LT #HarryCarson #Giants #billparcells

14:57 - Outstanding answer. Lanier's answer here is why he's a titan amongst giants. Period. Utterly brilliant answer.

[@MaddDogg316]

I know it's been 2 years but this comment is criminally underrated. What he said and how he said it was top tier philosophical scholar level. My goodness it blew me away. 😤

[@chrisaultman1]

That was excellent. Harry Carson is the consummate articulate gentleman. I'm surprised no one mentioned of today's players, Luke Kuechly.

@daAnder71 Haha hope you're feeling good about yourself.

Imagine those old Giants practices in full pads with that line backing corps before the current CBA limited the amount of hitting in practices. LT, Reasons, DeOssie, Harry, Banks going live against Bavarro and Zeke under the watchful eye of Belechik and Parcells

[@jameshayes9849]

I watched a couple of those practices growing up. They hit plenty early in training camp and what not. Practices later in the year I saw LT and others sit on their helmet the entire practice lol... sometimes I'm sure they were a little banged up...but it wasn't like it was a full on war every day at practice

LT opening up was classic, he is lucky to have a true life friend, let alone one as awesome as Harry Carson.
