Two things are obvious. Larry Byrd had a ton of street in his game and you could tell people we’re in it for the love of the game back in the day. It’s all about those fancy cars and fancy clothes now with your $2000 haircut and your $2000 pair of sunglasses sitting on the sideline out for a month with a sprained pinky. This is when it was real.

At the end of Larry's playing days, he couldn't sit on the bench and had to lay down on the side of the court. He literally could not feel his feet and had to stretch for two hours just to be able to run in a game. *THAT* is dedication and that is something this new generation does not understand nor have. The heart that these guys poured in to these games is not there, and you can see it, feel it, and watch it in every game. How many times has Harden just let a ball go out (off him no less!) or Lebron riding the bench because he don't feel so good. You think MJ or Magic would do that? Those guys played with fevers in the hundreds and in the one example they gave for Larry here, he had a fractured cheekbone, a concussion and was seeing double when he came back out! I don't care the stats Lebron racks up over his 20+ years of play! He's soft and plays soft to make sure he continues getting a paycheck. Does that make good financial sense - sure! Does it make for a better game - absolutely not!

Larry is one of the toughest, most competitive players the league has ever seen. He didn't believe in load management during the season. He believed he was payed to do a job and he did it, even if it meant playing through injuries. Which he did the last 5 years of his career. And his competitiveness was off the charts. He didn't just want to beat his opponents, he took their hearts and instilled fear in them through his ability to talk trash and his tremendous IQ. And not just talk, but back it up. He would tell his opponents what he was going to do and then do it. You never hear stories about any other player other than Jordan now or before then that does that.

The 3 point shoot was established like just when Larry got to the league... so he wasn't practicing that shoot before... you see he got better every year after then. And I think he won the first 3 3p shot contest, and couldnt be there for the fourth one... Hodges won, and they asked him if he won because Larry was injuried, and Hodges said "he knows where he can find me", to what Larry replied "I know, at the end of the Bulls bench". The significance of this, is that kids today get into the league knowing there is a 3p shoot line.. but he came to the league unaware of this, so he developed his dagger 3p shoot on the go.

It must feel amazing to be that good and have the whole world know it. I was obsessed with Bloodborne for like 3 years when it came out. During the last year I never once lost against another player. I knew how to trick people in a number of different ways and could observe and react to any playstyle with the perfect counter style. Not a single person knew who I was, but I knew I was among the best at something and that felt great. Now, knowing that you might very well be THE best at something and having the whole world cheer you on for every wild thing you do must be a drug unlike any other. And let's be honest Bird was anything but humble in his prime, so I'm sure he loved it.

As another Cleveland fan I'm loving the representation. Larry Bird was one of the progenitors of basketball. He set the standard for Trash Talk, Shooting and Passing. Mark Price was one of the first to really study Bird. Nash, Dirk, Jokic, Doncic are all great due to studying him. They're a lot of white guys. I'm a white guy too. I might be projecting... Basketball is one of these wonderful things that everybody can identify with , and that's one thing I love about the direction the NBA has right now. Something about "but more important, a friend."

The thing that gets me is how Larry would pull those reverse, mid-ari adjustment layups and people look at that and go - "Wow! That was nice," and yet half of Jordan's highlight reels that aren't just straight dunks, are exactly those shots. I know Jordan would float for a half second longer, but come on! Give Larry the props for those unbelievable adjustments and the ability to get to the other side of the rim and put it up!

After you’ve seen a couple of Bird’s videos, find his passing video. Now you know who is the GOAT.

Pat Riley once said, "If I need someone to take a shot to win a game I'll take Jordan. If I need someone to take a shot to save my life give me Bird."

He truly was incredible. I kaugh when I here some people say he couldn't play I. Today's NBA. He we old average even more points. Especially when you can't even get close to players today. He would average 38 points a game. As far as s as pure shooter of the basketball I think he was the greatest to ever do it.

A young Rockets player (Rodman) said that if Bird was black, he would just be considered a very good player. At a press conference the next day, he replied that he was sure it was said in the heat of the moment and that if it didn't bother him, it shouldn't bother anybody else. Bird was color blind and just saw players.
