Larry Bird - Larry Legend (Original Career Documentary)

[@trepan4944]

The last 3x back to back to back MVP. Larry Bird would dog walk so many modern players and hardly break a sweat. Thank you Joe for this masterpiece.

[@wcarlosbrown]

Hell yeah. What current players would he dog walk?

[@reikoshea]

@@wcarlosbrown Literally the entire NBA All Defensive team. Bam, AD, Rudy, Herb, Wemby. No one's guarding Bird in today's NBA. He's basically Luka...except 43 years before Luka, and he'd do to Rudy EXACTLY what you saw Luka do in Game 1 of the WCF. Cut the passing lane he'll take the layup. Overplay him and parish (gafford/lively) will be ready for the lob. Unlike luka though, he won't look to the refs to solve the problem, bird will just HURT YOU. Bird's a bad dude.

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

@soulheaven9243 LMAO 😅 the Four Horsemen! I'm a big fan from that era (Bird, Magic), grew up in Boston, but I know where your coming from about liking other teams, players, I loved Magic, Isaiah Thomas ( greatest ball handler back then IMO), Dr. J, Barkley, Malone and others, I'm guessing your black because you said you didn't catch as much heat wearing the Magic jersey as you did wearing the Bird one, that's great! I can hear your friends saying to you, "What you doing with a Bird jersey on Man", all in good fun, that era of Hoops was the best, the game has changed too much for me today,, defense is lacking, no true rivalries like we had, Pistons, Celtics, Laker's, 76er's were all rivalries, those teams did not like each other but respected one another, today there's too much hugging and loving out there, and all those 3 pointers, man, just too many, God bless you Bro, nice chatting with you

[@iamionscat9035]

My dad was from Indiana. I grew up on the east coast. My dad made me watch every nationally televised Celtics game because he said Bird was the best player ever, this was his rookie year, he was waiting for a year for him to get to the NBA. I still have year sports illustrated where Bird was representing Terre Haute. He only made me watch the first couple of games and then I was hooked, he never made me watch another, I was getting the games tracked and on the TV ready for him! I was amazed by Bird, I still am. I grew up thinking that is what a basketball player should be doing. Never seen it since. I'm grateful to him for "making" me watch him, I'll never see anything else like it. It was a magical time. I still have a dozen signed Bird cards that he collected. I love you dad. I miss you. Thank you for being a great dad. The best part is every time I see Bird clips I get to remember my dad.

Reason is simple. Disney's ESPN is fake journalism that is directly in bed with certain sports leagues and conferences (Disney played a big part in creating the SEC juggernaut in college football and that was because conferences like the Big 10 created their own network). They promote someone in every league or conference they own as the "GOAT" to market their current product. Same goes for FOX. They market what they televise. The only reason MJ is still relevant is his brand which they can also profit off of. Wilt, Bird, Magic, Karrem have no real brand. Want it to change? Unsub from ESPN. Cancel Hulu. If you HAVE to see a certain game go to a sports bar. Maybe they will find some ethics and truth with enough financial losses.

I agree he was too up until Jordan came along and Jordan actually got beat by Larry Bird a few times in Michael Jordans early couple of years in the NBA. But Jordan did have 6 or 7 NBA championship titles. I disagree with Dr J being better than Bird maybe for a couple games but career wise Bird Beat Dr. J . Bird could do it all, he was a excellent shooting 3's & he could outsmart his opponents under the basket in heavy cover. Bird also was excellent in passes for assists he could do it all unlike Dr J who was only good in the paint under the basket. As for MJ I still don't think noone has beat Michael Jordans NBA championship titles not even LeBron James. If LeBron would've went up against Larry Bird he'd have gotten schooled in shooting and out rebounded. Larry Bird is a Basketball 🏀 legend that will be talked about 100+ years from now of one the greatest to ever play.

Truly timeless. We all fans, (me especially 😁) would be very grateful if you Mr Vincent would take the time and make documentaries on the following personalities in the future 🙏🏽 - - The greatest power forward of all time and also arguably the greatest defensive player of all time, a true team-playing basketball superstar who didn't want the stardom, mastered and executed the fundamentals such that he was named after them, a savant who was hardly excited or depressed, a case can be made for him to be the greatest basketball player ever, and my personal number 1 favorite player of all time, Tim Duncan. - The greatest rebounder of all time, and also has a good case for being considered the greatest defensive player of all time, there was and never will be anyone like him On or Off the court, he embodied social media and news trivia before smartphones and Instagram was a thing, Jordan personally asked for him to be on their team and even dragged his drunk ass from bed while Carmen Electra was in the room when he left for a two days vacation, a lockdown specialist who'd regularly clamp Shaq down and was a hidden genius at understanding and exploiting the mechanics and dynamics of a ball in motion, on the ground or in the air, and gifted with never ending stamina and endurance, the man who made me interested in NBA in the first place, Dennis Rodman. - Another defensive gem who's considered to be the greatest undrafted NBA player of all time, and has the credentials to prove that he should be the greatest defensive player of all time by being the 4 time DPOY and tied with Mutombo in that accomplishment, considered by many to be the physically strongest or at least the most sturdiest NBA player ever and also one of the most intimidating, his involvement snowball-effected the darkest event in NBA history which is remembered as the Malice In The Palace, and was a crucial piece in the victory of the most underrated NBA championship win by the Detroit Pistons in 2004, Ben Wallace.

[@calebharms3320]

Larry would average 60 in today’s NBA with how soft they play on defense. The 80’s was tough. Name one time you’ve seen a star player like LeBron diving on the floor for a loose ball in today’s NBA. They so princess these days.

[@TheMeefive]

Let's just ignore the fact that Dr.J. past his prime, schooled the rookie Bird in the 79/80 playoffs. The video doesn't mention it. Let's ignore the fact that Dr. J was 2-1 against Bird in the playoffs when the Sixers were his team. Let's ignore the fact that Bird's team was the defending champions and heavy favorites when they lost to the Sixers in the 82 playoffs. Dr. J is the greatest small forward of all time

[@atg1338]

So he's better then LeBron?

[@bruce7709]

@@atg1338 yes I’ve been lucky enough to watch both. Bird was a beast and a true heartbreaker n killer not disrespecting James but group Birds 3 mvp seasons together I don’t think you will see James put up those numbers. Now if you’re talking greatest total playing career it’s James. But I’ll take a healthy Bird all day long. He didn’t have any weaknesses and hustles and dives for lose balls, boards and you knew who took the big shots and hardly missed after he told you the play 😂😂😂

[@kermitefrog64]

He was the greatest small forward in NBA history. If he would have stayed healthy he would have been the GOAT. He played chess on the court while everyone else was taking checkers.

[@b_lovedsamurai]

Larry Legend would thrive in the modern NBA, truly an all time great

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Im glad he doesnt play today though. He would probably be forced to mostly space the floor and take threes, instead of being able to use the entire half court to play his game. A lot of his talent would be wasted today. How many of those passes to guys surrounding the hoop would be obliterated because theres hardly such a thing as the post or inside game anymore?

[@Dr.Henry-DC]

Larry Joe Bird!!! Thank you for this great documentary of the best NBA player, in my opinion. Larry Legend!

[@Youknowmyname12]

I’ve waited a long time for JV to come out with another video. They don’t make players like bird anymore, he often played hurt and you only heard about it if it was a bad injury. @loveLarryLegend

[@quadeburch752]

He's back making documentaries...I'm so pumped to watch this. Thank you so much Mr. VINCENT

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video

[@CJamesHurley]

Fantastic, well done! You've flawlessly summed up the career of LB in perfect fashion......Straight to the point.....One of the best documentaries I've ever seen......

LARRY LEGEND JOE BIRD IS THE GREATEST ALL-AROUND PLAYER OF ALL-TIME IN NBA'S HISTORY!!! FOR VARIOUS REASONINGS!!! POINT BLANK PERIODTTT!!!

[@TheMeefive]

Lol Dr J beats him in all time fg%, blocks, and steals Bird wins in assists and rebounds. Points are practically a dead heat. DR. J as the Sixers main man beat Bird in the playoffs 2-1. Literally schooled Bird in their first Eastern conference Finals when DrJ was past his prime. And Larry was 2-3 inches taller. Dr.J is clearly the greatest all around player of all time.

Thanks! Could you make some videos on the USA Olympic Teams in Basketball? Specifically Kobe Leading the Redeem Team 2008? Keep up the awsome work.

[@whatsuper4o]

I was hoping that one day you will make a Larry Bird documentary and here we are!

[@krissanders987]

You put together the best sports documentaries ever. 10/10 everything. Ya voice is the cherry on top of it all 🙌🏻👏🏼 🍒

[@tythegolfer6279]

That was awesome. Cheers

[@Nemesis04208]

There is not a player in the world today that could come close to what Larry Bird brought to the game, he gave everything he had to the game of basketball. He was the kind of man who could dig really deep when it counted, and even deeper when it was impossible. Watching Larry play basketball was like watching a magician on the level of someone like Houdini performed magic tricks, it was magical. I don’t think there’s really any other way to put it.

[@TheSandreth]

Dude you always do such a great job. Keep it up!

[@andreasvajda6866]

Always a pleasure to watch your content. Larry Legend is on of the greats 🏀

[@Areyoutalkingtome-q1s]

Walton , DJ , and Larry on the same team. What passing!!

[@AaronSmith-x6o]

Greatest passing team ever.

Always a good day when the best documentary channel drops a new hour and a half video

[@kurimao65]

Bird's skills are innately God-given.

[@davidherdman9798]

Agreed. But when God gives you a talent He expects you to develop it. Bird spent an inordinate amount of time deve,oping that talent. Then he made his entire team better. THAT is God-given talent.

[@casinokam2695]

Haven’t even started watching. Already liked the video

Joseph Vincent done it again another top tier documentary that be right along any ESPN documentary simply Amazing 👏. 😃👍

[@Yomammi84]

Bro, pretty sick all of the stock footage you have! It takes you right there! The nostalgia!😢

[@uberneanderthal]

everyone talks about his offense, but it was his defense that made him special. **led the league in defensive win shares 4 times**, only Mikan, Russell and Duncan have done it more times.

[@vblackout---3365]

Joseph Vincent dropped and KZbin didn’t recommend me until 12 days after?!?! Crazy! I love your vids and I’m so glad you’re still making them

[@davidwayne5152]

Larry Bird truly is a Legend of Basketball

Thank you for such a well made video. So many people forget how dominant and good Bird was especially as an all around player. Bird is and will always be an all time top 5 player!!!

At the 1981 rally in City Hall Plaza someone had a sign that said "Moses eats shit" when Larry got to the podium he pointed at the sign and said "That's right, Moses does eat shit " classic Larry
