Larry is the GOAT for me. There is no other player who was so effective at both ends of the court and who would absolutely baffle the opposing team like Bird could. He was hard to defend because he could literally do anything he wanted to at any given time, and his court I.Q. and awareness were simply second-to-none. If an opponent thought they knew what Bird was going to do, he would make them look absolutely stupid. No other player, man. No other player. There have been more prolific scorers, but Bird didn't need to score to help his team win. He was selfless and would get his teammates open. He would dish off when he was double- and triple-teamed, which happened a lot because he WAS such a threat. There have been far more physically imposing players, but Bird had just enough height that he could shake off defenders, and his shooting release was behind his head so he could shoot over the best defenders. There is so much about Bird that makes him my GOAT; all you have to do is watch the videos. They speak for themselves, and the Legend.

Before Larry Bird was even signed with the Celtics .....he had an accident mangling his pointer finger! After that he felt like he was never at his best shooting the ball! So he was actually a better shooter before he signed with the Celtics! Larry Bird during his reign was considered the best shooter in the entire NBA league..... the entire league!!!

He and Jordan are very much alone in this unique category, where 3 or 4 videos just don't do the player justice. Their stories are profound, and super impactful compared to every other NBA player.

Bird, Russell, Wilt, MJ, Magic. With Hakeem and LeBron honorable mention. TBH, I think every person on that list would pick Larry 1st too. Remember this: MJ was a rookie in 84. Bird won his 1st of 3 straight MVPs in 84(84, 85 86), and his 2nd and 3rd titles in 84 and 86. Jordan never won a single playoff game against Larry. Swept twice and never won a title in the 80s, it took him 7 years, and did it in Larry's last year. Larry missed the entire previous season for double ankle surgery. And remember, he DESTROYED his back paving his Mom's driveway in the summer before his 86 season and was never really the same. He also broke his 1st and 2nd fingers on his shooting hang the summer before his rookie season, so bad, his fingers are still not straight. Still won Rook of the year like 62-2. Dude was a feared assassin.

I think for those of us who lived through his prime era players like him and magic were not simply that they were great basketball players but it was the mental approach...there was one goal, to win and thats all that mattered. Means you play every game with the same mentality no matter if it was preseason, regular season or playoffs, they were out there to beat you and were not your friend during the season. That made for truly competitive games from start of season to finish.

2:23 here’s what I think about that. Bird was a team player first and foremost. There were only two conditions under which he insisted on the ball. One was game winning shots and the other was when he wanted to make a point. Any other time, he’d pass it to whoever had the better shot. He averaged 4.6 assists per game as a forward. He wasn’t a selfish player generally.

What Bird told Kemp after that game was 'yes, gave you 50, but that was the best defensive effort I have seen in a while'. He didn't say it was the best defense ever against him to that point. Also Kemp was a rookie that season, thus the invite for the summer.

Larry improved the Cs by 33 wins his rookie year, and led them to a championship his 2nd year. He won league MVP 3 years in a row, Wilt and Russell are the only other ones to do that. He was voted best player in the NBA in a league with MJ and the dream team in it. He is a better shooter, rebounder, and passer than Lebron. James is a freak athlete and 250lbs. He just backed his way to the hoop for 10 years. He didn't start to develop any moves down low until he started aging. He isn't half the technical player that Larry was. Lebron isn't built like Larry either. Larry had the leadership and killer instinct from day 1....not to mention if there was a game-winning shot....he was going to take it...Lebron ain't that guy. He went to Miami because after 8 years he knew he wasn't that guy, he needed help.. To this day the 2 best players I have ever seen are Larry and MJ hands down. Lebron is consistently great, that's why he is playing as long as he is...He is lacking in the Jordan or Bird moments so if he plays for 25 years he will have all the stats records...He will be an all-time great.... but Larry is a legend

Larry is for sure a better shooter. But that’s it I think. The passing and rebounding is close. Lebron is clearly the better defender. We can nitpick about the greats flaws all day long so I just try to go skill for skill ok these debates.

@@coachwiz43 Larry has lebron by 3 rebounds a game career wise...as big as LeBron is he he should have been pulling down double digits...and your right we could go back and fourth about it all day long making points. Even if you called it a wash....It still comes down to leadership and being able to make that big shot when the games on the line...Its hard to argue anyone over Larry when it comes to that

@@coachwiz43 Bird averaged more rebounds , more assists and more blocks in his career than James . He is a better free throw shooter , better 3 point shooter and has a better field goal percentage. Bird also is a two time All defense team . Lebron not better than bird at anything on the court except whining , traveling , flopping and dunking …..

That beginning question is not valid. The video is stitched together to make it look like Bird was a more selfish player than he was. That wasn't the case in reality. The story that K.C. was telling was a joke. Some of the 'supporting' stories were all talking about the same instance. In reality Bird was known at the time for getting the players to play like a team, and to go out of his way to make sure everyone got the ball. To twist things to make it sound like he was some sort of prima donna misses what made Bird great in the first place...inspiring his team. Also, Bird's stats on passing and assists don't tally with a selfish player. It's just wrong. Even his trashtalking is blown out of proportion. What's described as trashtalking is mostly him telling a defender what his play was going to be. They say that his trashtalking was mostly funny, and not vile. He also could back it up. That's why the greats love him so much. They are in awe at how good he was, and brag to each other the times Bird demonstrated that. I'm not sure why people today have this bizarre need to slander Larry Bird. The lie that he was overrated didn't work. Now it's that he was selfish. Why?

Very valid points. In my opinion, his talk was part of the fun. Challenge his opponent to bring it. Or up the challenge for himself by telling them what he was going to do. Dan Shaughnessy states in his book, _Wish It Never Ended_ that Bird ALWAYS referred to the venues as "gyms" "gymnasiums." I personally surmise that it was to always keep it a game. The court was always the same size. I think Bird got joy from playing a great game. Satisfaction. Each game was an opportunity to Win and be his best in pursuit of that.

I have him top three. I don't like ranking GOATs 1, 2, 3, etc., because of playing in different eras with different rules. He is top three to me with Wilt and Jordan. As a long time Knicks fan (I'm 68) it pains me to say so - but he was just unbelievable, like the other two. And I would recommend doing a Wilt review - there are a couple of videos that cover what an incredible athlete he was - AAU track champion among other things - and how he used to lift weights with Arnold Schwarzenegger. And he still holds more NBA records than anyone else.
