It's impossible to not like Bird. Both as a player and a person. He's the consumate role model. Hard working, tough as nails, unbelievable confidence and a will to win that rivaled Jordan's. Off the court he was humble, gracious and respectful. I think the only player he didn't like was Lambeer. And that's only cause he tried to hurt people.

Great reaction! You got to watch the prime Larry Bird channel. The greatest Larry Bird vs Michael Jordan story ever told. I promise you will love it.

I hadn't seen this one! Lol. Thank you. 😁

The back story behind this shoot out is that Bird was missing shots on purpose to keep the suspense high. He knew he had to hit the last three shots to win, and that's exactly what he did.

There is a video about how dominant bird was against the pistons. His record against them from 81-to 1988 was 26 wins 9 loses. I will have to find it . This 3 point contest was the last before he had bone spurs removed and Achilles surgery on both feet. You need to watch his first 3 point contest in 1985.another great reaction.

There's A Longer Video Here On YT, & It Shows All 3-Years & It Shows The Other Shooters In These Contests. There's 3-Rounds Altogether & They Have To Eliminate Each Other To Make It To The 3rd Final Round. The First Year They EVER Had A 3-Point Contest Was In 1986 & Yes Larry Won That One. And Then Larry Won 1987 & 1988. He Never Entered Anymore After Those Three Years.

Also you have to watch his fist contest

Everybody always talks about this one, but tbh his wins in the previous two contests he was a lot more consistent. I think people might talk about this one the most because (1) he never took his jacket off and (2) Larry is usually an absolute deadeye, but he looked a little bit off in this contest yet still won it anyway. Some people think he threw away some of the shots on purpose "to make it harder and therefore more fun for himself", which is 100% something Larry would do (there is actually a very funny story where Larry trash talked a rookie by asking the rookie "can you do this" and then threw a complete airball. The rookie started laughing and Larry was like, "The shot don't matter. The point is I can do that and not get taken out of the game. You can't." LOL ), but I think people are reaching with that theory. One of his previous wins---I think it might have been the second contest----he is much more consistent, just swish swish swish swish. I think he makes like 9 or 10 in a row without missing.

When you talk about the three-point, he missed. It was the player himself who put it out there to the fans…, so it’s no stretch unless you think the player lied
