My favorite quote about Bird was from James Worthy, (LAL.) "Jordan will make you look slow, but Bird will make you look stupid."

[@patticriss2238]

Larry Bird went grocery shopping with his fans and hung out in Local bars and fishing holes. He was a god in Boston. Always will be. He was just a good guy with a killer instincts. Amazing.

[@gregshirley-jeffersonboule6258]

LB ain’t no sleeper, bro. LB was the fucking man, in the golden age of the NBA.

[@iconadams]

By the way, that's not what Isaiah Thomas meant; what he meant was, Larry Bird was tough, would likely outlast everyone else. I've seen other interviews with Isaiah and he always talks about Bird's toughness.

[@jimmyboy131]

Larry was a brawler, too. He'd get into it with anyone.

[@0ly001]

💯

[@jefffraserjr.2347]

How do you know what he meant that’s your interpretation of what you thought he meant

[@iconadams]

@@jefffraserjr.2347 hate to let you in on a secret, but that's exactly what that old saying means. Isaiah was just referencing an old saw (which means an old "saying"). Isaiah always talks about Bird's toughness; this is not my interpretation it is what Thomas has said multiple times. Put the two together and I stand by my interpretation. Question for you now: what do YOU think it means?

[@scottbelcher9026]

Right! Oh they ALL knew about Bird and feared him most!!!

[@mariolevasseur731]

Larry Bird. 3 consecutive NBA MVPs at the time of Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, and so many other Hall of Famers. Three consecutive Three-Point Shootout champion. Coach of the year with the Indiana Pacers. NBA executive of the year. Just as a player, he is top 5. At the small forward, number one. Not to mention the founder of the 50/40 / 90 Club

[@stonemansteveiii3135]

Some might say Bird is #2 at small forward. Don't forget about LeBron! I mean I know he hasn't retired yet, but nothing makes me think he'll pass Jordan or Kareem, so I know exactly where he'll retire at.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

@@stonemansteveiii3135 Lebron overall is #1 because of his durability, the years he's remained playing at the highest level. But prime for prime? It's a difficult decision. Lebron a better athlete but Bird had a superior mindset, and natural alpha male leadership

[@vladt876]

@@GoGetYourShinebox Lebron's "durability?" How many times has he been on the Injured list for questionable things or "time off" days? Watch Larry playing with a broken nose and a bad back, and still playing at all star level. Sorry....Even though I hate Bill Laimbeer, the minute Lebron tried his whining crap in an 80s type game with the bad boys his a$$ would have been stomped by Laimbeer and Salley, with Rodman coming in for thirds. Lebron then retires early.... Remember, living in a 4 star hotel during COVID was too stressful for him, so for him to have to play in an actual tough decade of basketball.... No chance.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

@@vladt876 I’m sorry but don’t try and tell me Lebron doesn’t have more longevity than Bird. Lebron is a freak athlete to have played so long without a major injury. Maybe should have said longevity instead of durability, but I’m talking about how durable Lebron’s body is against major injury

[@vladt876]

@@GoGetYourShinebox Bird dives for loose balls. Lebron takes "relax" days. That's an asinine "quality" you're referencing

[@herrzimm]

Keep in mind: Normally when they retire your jersey, there is a "voting process" with staff, players and fans. They retired Bird's number the NIGHT he retired WITHOUT anyone bothering to vote on the issue or not. They KNEW before he took the stage to retire, his number was going up into the rafters forever.

[@donolinger6904]

Larry Legend.

[@sammieturner338]

Pat Riley was asked who he thought was the best clutch shooter. His response was if a game was on the line he’d take Jordan. But if his life was on the line he wanted Bird.

[@stonemansteveiii3135]

I agree.

[@p.j.4738]

Pat Riley: If I needed some one to take a shot to win the game I would pick Michael Jordan, but if I needed some one to make a shot to save my life I would pick Larry Bird!

[@danielburke1990]

Everybody says this on every Bird video 😂😂 but yeah he's got a point

[@zeppelinmexicano]

There's a reason why Johnny Most screamed, "He did it again!" when Larry hit a game winner one night. It was because there was a run there where he hit so many game winners that you lost track of them. You just could only marvel, damn, he did it again.

[@beachplumb]

@@zeppelinmexicano There was a parody song done here in Boston in the 80's with a Johnny Most impersonator singing the 1963 song, "Bird is the Word". Hysterical, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere to hear it again.

[@jamesbush5675]

You seem like a smart guy. The importance of Magic and Larry to the NBA today is undeniable. The pressure that was on them must of been tremendous. I am 72 and way back during the Bill Russell, Wilt Chamerlin, Oscar Robinson days there was little TV coverage. I listened to the radio. Basketball at the highest level was tape delayed. As soon as Larry and Magic entered the NBA everything changed. Now, stats are stats. Who according to stats is the greatest. Don't know. Kareem has the most points and did it honor. Jordan advanced Basketball. However, none of their accomplishments would be possible without Larry and Magic.

[@lancevaughn432]

I’m 63 a Laker fan my whole life. As great is Larry Bird was, he made me sick because I witnessed it firsthand. We had nightmares, just shaking our heads going, he did it to us again, until we finally beat the Celtics. 1985 in Boston, 1987, and 2010.

[@guitarwins1896]

They left out the part when Johnson gave a signed Lakers jersey and Johnson called bird the best basketball player ever, but more importantly, a friend. That is amazing!!!

[@irishgrl]

Larry Bird broke so many hearts on the other side. Larry was a complete player, he could do it ALL. HE DESERVES ALL THE FLOWERS!

[@rickbort7875]

I see you're impressed by Larry's 3 point play. Here's a fact- in the mid 1990s, after Larry left the game, the NBA moved the 3 point line closer in by a foot and a half. So after Larry, EVERYONE was shooting 3 pointers closer to the basket. Soak that in.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

It has been moved back though

[@alecvip7562]

@@catherinelynnfraser2001 really? I looked it up, and its the same when they moved it closer. They did try moving it to where it originally was, but they reverted to the nerfed version.

[@thomasohanlon1060]

You remember when Larry was playing in college there was no three point line.

[@English_MoFo]

NBA started the 3 point line during Birds rookie year. Moved it closer like the OP said, then everyone started complaining. Later they moved it back so a lot of highlight clips you'll see TWO 3 point lines on the court

[@Ray186]

When Bird was having a good night you realize that he was "Playing with his food."

[@cindyknudson2715]

Exactly!

[@yambo59]

Larry ALWAYS backed up his trash talk, thats what made it so hard for other teams to take and even resulted in a few fights if he kept doing it.

[@rotojunkie14]

His trash talk was what started that fight with Dr. J. Bird was coming up the court after each basket and telling Dr. J the score of their matchup each time down the court. I think it was 42-6 and he told Dr J to retire

[@toddspector8777]

Bird actually turned down an extra years pay to suit up for the first game of the next year post retirement. He turned it down, which says a lot about his work ethic and how much he meant to the Celtics owners.

[@MrThumbs63]

Any Laker fan over 50 knows how good Bird was. "Coach, why don't you just get me the ball and tell everyone to get out of the way." ...words never attributed to LeBron. And Bird was much more than a shooter.

[@patticriss2238]

The 5 million hours Larry Bird spent at the gym, in his driveway, down at the parks. He had confidence because he did the work. Amazing dude. Fun reaction. Thanks.

[@mahante]

Larry Bird was one of the greatest basketball players of all time. His nickname was Larry legend for a reason. He belongs in the conversation with MJ, Magic, Kareem, Isiah, Kobe and anyone else you care to bring up. Keep in mind he also played during a time where the league was lot tougher. I remember hating so much for what he was going to do to my team but also watch in awe of his skill. He was on another level.

[@terryoconnor6388]

Hey Sean, At 16:03, it wasn't the steal or the pass, the best thing was that he dribbled when he was sliding so he wouldn't be called for travelling.

[@dcg590]

Badass even when he was on the floor.

[@frankmccollum1443]

Larry and Magic, best friends to this day, so cool. Magic with Boston Celtics shirt, total respect and professionalism.. 2 of My favorite players EVER!!! Salute to both of them, thank you, Thank you both!! Icons for Ever..!

The Ultimate Mix Tape is 50x better than this. You'll be happy you watched it because you'll think you're watching a totally different player. Bird was a transcendent athlete and this video makes him look like's he's just a marksman who had his swag on 100.

Magic & Bird have the most beautiful bromance. They made a video together, bonded over commercials & wrote a book.

[@angelod.6761]

When you paused the video at the 2:36 mark, it paused on a man name Mark Aguirre. This dude could light up anyone who tried to guard him. I'm a Lakers fan too. I was watching games during the showtime era. Mark Aguirre was a scoring machine. He's one of my faves from that time.

[@yambo59]

I watched that entire game back then, and again recently on KZbin. He had some missed shots. Unlike most big scoring games in NBA history, most of his points came from shooting outside the paint, which added a degree of difficulty to the accomplishment.

[@AKSBSU]

This video you watched showed a few great passes but didn't give you the full picture of just how spectacular he was at passing. He could create a play for his teammates out of nowhere at an moment, even a loose ball or tipping a rebound. There is a video called something like Larry Bird Greatest Passer of All Time you definitely need to see to understand how talented he was.

[@dbsti3006]

That night, Magic didn't have an undershirt, so he was given a Celtic shirt to wear under it. In an interview with Magic and Larry, Bird: "Man, I saw the green from the Celtics shirt under Magics Laker warmup, and I just couldn't let it go. I wanted to show Celtics fans that even Magic dreamed of being a Celtic." 😆

Bird is more than top 10. He was a shooter that averaged a double double. He had back to back 50/40/90 seasons. 3x 3 point champion in a row. Not to mention he is 6-0 in the playoffs against Jordan, sweeping him twice. He has the second highest win percentage of all time, which is even more impressive considering that at that time the eastern conference was a much harder conference. The only downside to his career was that it was cut short compared to others who get GOAT talk. If wasnt for injuries we would be talking about Bird's 6 rings and Jordan's 3. Most people forget he shattered a knuckle before his rookie season and was never the shooter he once was. Just imagine the numbers he would have put up.

[@yambo59]

I totally respect youre a Laker fan, theyre an awesome team for sure. But you MUST watch "Larry Birds Ultimate Mix Tape", its a must see if you want some real down low proof of the mans amazing work. You dont have to love the Celtics to respect and be entertained by his skills, and keep in mind Larrys not real athletic cant jump real high and had bad back problems - but damn can he pass, rebound, shoot, defend, he does it all and he can hit a shot from virtually anywhere on the court. His trash talking videos are also very fun to watch, he tells the other teams the damn play hes going to run before he does it-!-then he does it-! There are many fun trash talking stories, you should keep checking out his videos just for your own entertainment and hopefully as reactions too.

I'll tell you this I love my rivals almost as much as I love my favorite teams because it's no fun having no rivals.

- There is another great series out on KZbin called Making the Case. It features (I believe) the eight top contenders for the GOAT. Well there’s a great one titled “Making the Case Larry Bird.” It breaks down his stats and really makes the case why Larry Bird should be in the discussion for being the GOAT. Really a great series. Magic Johnson has one too. Jordan of course. But you should see the series at least, if you haven’t already. I liked what Magic said at Bird’s retirement. Thing about Bird, he always accomplished what he said he would do. He backed his words up and even played hurt. - Larry Bird, “I’m going to shoot one over your head from the right corner rainbow, left handed, one legged, backwards, with my eyes closed, while whistling the Harlem Globetrotter’s theme song ‘Sweet Georgia Brown.’” 😬

At the end of his speech at Larry's retirement, he gave Larry a Laker's jersey that he had signed with the following "Larry Bird, to the greatest basketball player ever but more than that .... a friend. (signed ) Magic Johnson"

As good a shooter as Bird was, you must not miss his 50 greatest assists and passing mix tapes. His crazy insane passing will blow your mind!

[@cindyknudson2715]

The Hick from French Lick (his self given nickname as he was born in French Lick, Indiana) was a DOMINATOR in his day and he could be today too. He said no one could guard him and proved it. He'd tell an opposing player and sometimes the whole team what he was going to do...and then do it! Once he told BOTH teams he was going to shoot the whole game left handed an did it! He scored most of his 47 points left handed during a game at the Trail Blazers. Bird famously said he was saving his right hand for the Lakers whom they were facing two days later. The CELTICS DEFEATED THE LAKERS 148-114. It was dubbed the "Memorial Day Massacre" and a profound embarrassment for the Lakers. Post Celtics he became head coach of the Indiana Pacers and eventually President of operations. Oh, and his business card said "The Hick from French Lick" LOL.

[@cindyknudson2715]

On his business card as an executive?!? That is just TOO good. He is also soooo funny. Larry's a legend.

[@MadMikesComics]

1000% Lakers fan here. Back in the 80's Boston vs Lakers was special. Have to give respect to Bird!

I think in most peoples’ opinion Jordan is the all time GOAT…I think that at least. Bird is my number 2. Just think of how many players Jordan destroyed through out his career….Bird was never one of them. In regular season games where Bird and Jordan faced each other Bird had 17 wins to Jordan’s 11, and in the play offs Bird had 6 wins to Jordan’s 0. Let that sink in. Bird retired shortly after Jordan came into the league due to his back injuries, partly because they man was a beast and played even while hurt. A little back story to the left handed game against Portland….that was the 85-86 season in which the Celtics went 50 wins to 1 loss at home in the Boston Garden. The only team they lost to was Portland. When they ended their road trip in Portland following the loss at home to them, that is when Bird said he was going to play left handed, to get back at them, revenge the loss, and put them in their place. Walton said he had 27 left handed at the end of 3 quarters, he finished the game 47 points and hit the game winning buzzer beater. There has never been a more clutch shooter than Bird Bird was the biggest and most savage trash talker in the history of the game. My top 5 1) Jordan, 2) Bird 3) Russel, 4) Robertson, and 5) Kareem
