He could compete in any era

[@patrickmaruniak5987]

So could Steph Curry.

[@irishgrl]

LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE *TRUE* GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

It’s crazy people always forget how good he really was. Other than Bill Russell, he is the reason the Celtics are such a strong franchise and even as a coach turned a whole franchise to be a championship caliber team with the Pacers.

[@irishgrl]

@@LegacyUnveiledSports Exactly. Instant impact as a rookie & a brilliant run thru the 80s. It’s just pitiful his body failed him. When healthy he was MIRACULOUS. NOBODY could handle a healthy Bird plus healthy Celtics.

[@kevinblock2307]

Greatest all around player ever

[@patrickmaruniak5987]

So is Steph Curry.

[@user-iv9er3nr6z]

Lebron james would've score 50s points playing against Larry bird, Nikola jokic & luka doncic would've given Larry bird a passing clinic with Pete maravich would've Larry bird ,,,instructor/ teacher of passing & dribbling a basketball

[@LionheartedLegends]

Everyone forgets how good this man actually was. I mean he took everything as a competition and won at everything he did!

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

He was a legend! So underrated!

[@user-gz2ob9rp6r]

If you didn't grow up watching him , you have no idea. I watched him and an aging Bill Walton against Houston in the finals. Best two man game ever.

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

Honestly, he is so underrated. People forget how good he was. And the pride that surrounded how much he knew he could beat anyone was unbelievable.

[@jamesguest4741]

Walton has some Huge blocks @ an older age. Bird has some Huge blocks in college,if you ever get a chance to watch!

[@PETERODZZ]

1986

[@user-gz2ob9rp6r]

​@@PETERODZZloved that series. Walton tackling Sampson. Don't watch much anymore but I love Jokic. Still have my rookie pistol Pete card when Pete was with Atlanta.

[@MarkKolter-jj7eg]

Clutchest shooter and most complete player in basketball history

[@fernandoamy8278]

He is one of the greatest clutch players of any era. He was fearless under pressure.

[@lazysob2328]

Larry bird: only player I’ve ever seen that,could play effectively, all five positions on the court. That’s how good Larry Bird was.

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

He really made everyone on his team better too, he really was such an all around player!

[@user-gz2ob9rp6r]

Maybe MAGIC or Jokic.

[@user-gz2ob9rp6r]

​probably best court vision and awareness. Hand eye coordination off the charts. I would have loved to have seen Magic and Bird on the same team.

[@billmorrison9068]

Well, there was Magic Johnson, too.

[@MarkKolter-jj7eg]

Magic did a great job with LA. He did an amazing job in the center spot. That's why Bird and Magic are GOATs. Both men see the game in a similar way, making long hours of practice their go to arsenal.

[@charlesdavis7461]

He was forced to quit by injuries that don't go away and didn't want to get worse.

[@ofermashiach4519]

Forgotten GOAT? Not at all. To me, Bird has always been and will remain the GOAT.

[@thomaskirby5753]

Honestly all that matters is putting the ball in the basket he was and will be the best ever

[@jdp0359]

He is hardly forgotten by anybody who knows basketball!

[@tomroach6275]

Nice Video production. I am proud to say I am also an original "Hick from French Lick". My sister graduated with Larry at Springs Valley, High School in French Lick, Indiana. When I was in the 8th grade Larry was my P.E. assistant (Larry had a choice of Study Hall or P.E. Assistant). A book is to be released later this year, the 50th anniversary of Larry's Senior year as a Springs Valley Blackhawk. I have seen a lot of books about Larry but this one will be unlike any released before. The author, Dr. Randy Mills dove deep into old newspaper articles, stat books, coaches, teammates, even a few rival players. Also, resident's of French Lick, guys he played ball with at the local parks. Some of Larry's signature moves were developed on the town park courts. I saw things Larry did with a basketball... Wow.... I also recall the time a classmate called Larry "Tweety Bird" one too many times. I think it may be in the book. The book is titled, "As If By Magic".

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

Super excited to see what stories the book holds!

[@sonsofliberty75]

I stopped watching the NBA when Larry Legend retired.

[@user-iv9er3nr6z]

Kobe Bryant would've score 81 points on Larry bird, kobe Bryant would've ❤️ 🐦 sandwich from French lick, Indiana 81 candle 🕯 on 🐦 sandwich 🥪 bread , lebron jame, Nikola jokic & luka doncic, dirk nowitzki each would've score 50s points playing against Larry bird especially broken back Larry bird

[@drbobperkins]

Me too! Starting watching again when I found Manu Ginobili

[@user-iv9er3nr6z]

Nba basketball has the same problem as great music& 🎬 & TV show oldies nba basketball is better than current nba basket , free sport TV era almost over &expandrd playoff college 🏈 is almost a joke too long

[@hx2515]

There’s many NBA greats in the GOAT conversation…there’s only one unequivocal Legend…

[@worldfamouslanglois4805]

no blood no foul in those days

[@SeanCasey-cq4dc]

Growimg up on the courts in Boston the brothers would say who do you think u are Bird .I wished Thank you LARRY Bird .The greatest at a great time .

[@dougnewman3935]

For my all time fantasy team, i’m picking Bird #1. He could do it all - score, rebound, pass, team defense. His secret sauce was his team first ability to elevate his teammates. His rookie year he took a 29 win Celtics to 61 wins, and the following year an NBA title.

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

He really changed the league in its level of play. Legend

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

This very good player from Charlotte, NC is a great player ..... not a student of the game though !? Bird is thee G.O.A.T. 4Ever

[@JAREIRE2811]

The GOAT

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

The Man was an assassin in so many ways, especially with the three point shot, he beat many teams by hitting that three pointer strategically

[@newerafrican]

I’m so sick of the AI narratives for these videos. Apparently, we’re too f*cling lazy or illiterate to personally narrate these videos

[@FUBAR1986]

I get it, dude I won’t be watching this channel. No more can’t stand it either. there is no emotion in the voice completely monotone

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

I totally understand. I’m working on getting equipment to do my own voiceovers going forward. Thanks for the advice!

[@kennethvandal6602]

I agree. Aparently they are now the Boston Keltics.

[@criticalinfrastructurepart1959]

Agreed

[@billmorrison9068]

I refuse to watch if it has AI narration.

[@RecoveredPennychaser]

Bird and the Jordan era WAS basketball.

[@chriskuhn5169]

This is the True Goat

[@chuckgraham1695]

Take a shot to win a game, I'll take Jordan...Take a shot to save my life, I'll take Bird. Said by Pat Riley. The man was a killer, the higher the stakes, the better he got. Larry is in my top 5, the guy just elevated everyone around him simply because the man made everyone that much better.

[@williemoreno3010]

How DARE you say the forgotten NBA GOAT. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THE TITLE OF THIS STORY MAKES ME ANGRY. 😮😮😮.

[@williemoreno3010]

LARRY BIRD WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. IF YOU WATCH BASKETBALL 🏀 THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN FORGET WHO IS LARRY LEGENDARY BIRD 🐦 IS IF YOU DEVELOP DEMENTIA. OTHER THAN THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LEGEND. 😂❤

[@mikemontgomery7337]

If I was to start a team today he would be my first player !!

[@jeffreytenly9399]

Larry chose to not be a quadrupal triple double. Let THAT sink in. G.O.A.T.!

[@JESSES_CURIOUSLY_CURIOUS]

He's not forgotten in my house and mind. Goat? IDK. LEGEND 4 SURE. I live outside Milwaukee. And giannis is not well rounded. But worshipped. Bird was well rounded and clutch. Ice water running thru those veins. No drama, team orientated, hard worker, 6'9" sharpshooter, any position all day

[@benjaminwilson4558]

Please?! Larry would make Curry (ied) rice as he would slam down 40 a night in today's milktoast league! Watching those great players and games is the saving grace of being OLD !!!

[@eddybear5214]

He set the blueprint for the newer generations on how to play a "great" game. You may not think so, but last shot game on line, he & Jordan ruled.

[@chriskuhn5169]

MJ even said He's the greatest SF who ever played. He was MJs toughest opponent

[@eriknewton4656]

he founded the 50/40/90 club. he was one steal away from a quadruple double after playing first 3 quarters of a game. and won 3 championships in the most talent laden era in nba history. on top of that he's the only player to win an nba mvp, c oach of the year and executive of a year. he has a high basketball iq.

[@charliekennedy2545]

Bird played for a small college too. Except he took his to the national championshhip game.

[@jakedrago3876]

Best small forward ever and belongs in the GOAT discussion( MJ still my goat though )

[@user-hm4wg6sh8c]

The greatest white man to EVER play the game.

[@vernonhurley1300]

Is he truly as good as the legend? Well let's see. There is only one player in the entire history of the game who is top 50 in all major stats. Only player and in only 13 year career.

[@criticalinfrastructurepart1959]

And played with a degenerative back from 1986 until retirement in 1992

[@rusosure7]

When AI generated voice-over goes horribly wrong.

[@stephenkennedy8305]

What other player got the opposing team and fans to cheer him on.

[@Jrich-yj5es]

Didn't Dell Curry play against Larry? Steph knows exactly who he is. Grew up in NBA

[@user-gz2ob9rp6r]

If Jokic stays healthy he could be in the conversation. Besides hanging around long past his welcome , Lebron is not in my top 25. Lebron would have zero titles if he hadn't assembled all star teams. Players better than Lebron if your comparing prime years : MJ , BIRD , MAGIC , WILT ,RUSSELL , JABAR , OLAJAWON , EWING ,KOBE ,SHAQ , DR. J , DIRK , JOKIC and I'm just warming up.

[@matthewcostello3530]

Bird is left handed

[@jpmtlhead39]

Its very Sad seing this generation Utterly Ignorance concerning "Everything",but Specialy Basketball/NBA History. Larry Bird is the "Legend". Grow up.

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

Forgotten for sure! People need to know him and the mark he has made on the league and game as a whole

[@lauranceking2757]

When Frenck Lick Indiana is mentioned several times in the first 60 seconds of this video, up comes an image of some sort of Modern Mega Mansion Castle, twice LOL, I don't need to see any more of this video....

[@fatovamingus]

9:10 AI

[@seanogrady2629]

Forgotten? he always comes up in a lot of greatest of all time discussions...lol

[@MrMasterp44]

I clicked on this cuz you angered me by your statement. Bill Russell is the goat, Larry Bird is number 2.

[@gerryrice4848]

Ai- cant 👍it.

[@pl8154]

I hate AI almost as much as I love LB.

[@chrisglover2697]

Horus?

[@tracybogert7698]

No offense to MJ and LeBron Larry is the GOAT. Don't ask me ask Isaiah Thomas Magic Johnson Bill Laimbeer Reggie Miller and numerous other Hall of Famers who is the GOAT . I agree if you didn't grow up watching Bird and the Celtics Pistons Celtics Lakers Celtics Sixers rivalries there has been nothing like it since . Not Jordan not LeBron not anyone playing then or now have the all around game that Larry Bird had. Bird played at the time where you could hand check, clothesline, punch a player not even get called for a technical. Michael played in an era that was weak.

[@stevejacobson7128]

Listening to AI narration is painful.

[@PunguinYoga]

That one was especially bad.

[@bobfleming7665]

Complaints are correct, the AI narrating is awful. Furthermore the editing is terrible. Renters what should have been an interesting video into a piece of junk that I only watched less than half of.

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

So sorry about that. Thanks for the advice, anymore you have would be appreciated! I want to make this as engaging and accurate as possible!

[@wendyshipp1718]

Be nice if AI could pronounce the players names correctly! It's just the right thing to do!

[@LesCish]

Forgotten by whom?

[@EBthere]

Forgotten??? I love Bird but I see and hear too much about him -- yes even today. Yes he was great but enough already.

[@PeaceItUp]

I think it's a good thing to have Bird and other legends be talked about. If anything, I wish other greats were brought up more often (that doesn't mean Bird should be brought up less, though!)

[@gavinhadley7672]

..I despise these computer generated voices and the ridiculous mispronunciations

[@Cryptoman_5000]

A decent video. There are many better.

[@jeremiahzambrotta5580]

This is an AI generated recording. Please report this and atop watching content like this. We need to stop giving AI a gorinds and room to grwo. Enoughbalready with this bullshi

[@LegacyUnveiledSports]

I am so sorry! I am currently working on purchasing some equipment to do my own audio recording, I know it will significantly help!

[@bernardqblack]

This AI doesn't know basketball. RA Bert Par. ISH OY VEY

[@Yaz-pn9py]

This video is a joke, right?
