I saw the great Pat Riley say that Bird gave coaches nightmares. Personally I think the whole GOAT thing is absurd because there are too many great players but Bird is my favorite to watch on YT. Larry is a Legend because he's unreal in so many ways. Thanks for the video!

7:07 you think that was savage? The story is incomplete, Brad told only half of it. While Brad was on the air Bird touched his back (butt) with the ball and only then shot for a buzzer beater! To do that on a buzzer beater is insane!

Brad Daugherty forgot to mention that Larry smacked him on the ass with the ball as he flew by and before Larry took the shot ! … I’m sure that’s why he paused and laughed when he was telling the story ! If I was Daugherty , I’d leave that part out too . Fly Bird , fly

Enjoyed your reaction 😊 For me Larry Bird's trash talking, either broke a player down, or forced an opponent to be a better player, & it was the strength of the player, which way they were affected.......that was just a part of who Bird was 😊 There is another video that is more complete, when it comes to Larry Bird's trash talking, if you would like to react to that one as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGislWtuiZp3htU

Not even Rookies were safe around Larry Bird. Larry Bird would ask the Rookie if the Coach was mad at him. Rookie said No, I'm not in trouble with the coach. Larry Bird would ask the Rookie What's the Scoring Record in this Building? Rookie says I don't know why? Well your Guarding Me ain't yeah? 😂 Larry Bird didn't like Rookies Either.
