good one, yeah it was pre-season and Larry Legend was killin Dr. J like 38 points to 6, and trash talkin him brutal...then he bumped him and they went at it- Charles Barkley, a rookie, and Moses Malone held Bird from behind and Dr. J punched him in the face multiple x, very hardcore...Bird was tough as nails, a junkyard dog..

[@nickgleeson7168]

That's why they call him larry legend

[@andrewdavid5928]

I heard Larry Bird say that trash talking got him fired up to walk the walk. He also said that if the man guarding him was thinking about abusive trash talk then they weren't thinking about the game.

[@jameylebel]

He is the father of trash talking. He taught, admittedly by him, MJ everything about trash talking

[@howdoicancel6760]

MJ easily admits , Larry Bird taught him how to trash talk …. and Miller says Bird is the biggest trash talker … ever !

[@alanela6761]

4:22 at least one (maybe 2) of Brad's Cleveland teammates have said that Larry also tapped Brad on the butt with the ball as he went by him, before hitting that shot

[@EbizzerHH]

Larry Joe is a tough MFer and in the GOAT conversation! LowBron has no shot being in that!

Larry is the goat of trash talking

[@Kaharris.96]

Mike, Bird, Magic. There will never be another era with such talent. 14 rings.

[@arthurnelson]

The greatest trash-talker of all time is Larry.

[@pattricklewis]

I'm so old I remember sitting on my bunk bed in 1978 to watch Larry Bird's first NBA game. I made my own game posters by hand and posted them around my room. I also remember the following year in '79 watching the Celtics and hearing the announcers dealing with the new 3-Point rule. Every time any player shot for 3, the announcers would say... "It's Matthews with a 3-point prayer!", or "Jackson tosses it up, praying for a 3-pointer!", etc... but every single time Larry Bird took a shot from behind the line, their voices automatically became animated and they'd say... "It's Bird for 3 Points!!" lol. The next 12 years in the NBA were so fun to watch. It was the golden age, and we all knew it.

[@larrylucas1079]

Larry Bird is the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 club, the only person in NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year, 3 point Champion three straight years, MVP three times straight (When competing against Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Dr. J, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and many more), Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year.

[@RedMcc]

Even Dennis Rodman was floored how well Bird played

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

You realize Larry was the one who tought MJ to trash talk, right? MJ is on record saying "I learned EVERYTHING I know about trash talking and mind games from Larry Bird". Larry was the friggin trash talk sensei.

[@rmcclain124]

It's funny that you should mention him shooting when he's 60. According to a Stephen Jackson podcast, Bird went out to a Pacers practice when the team was stretching, and knocked down around 15 3-pointers in a row, put the ball down and just walked back into his office. And all the Pacers players are like. Did you just effing see that? That happened within the last 5 years. Dude still has the touch.

[@LiLiJo]

It is not trash talk as much as it was a mind game with the talent to back it up.

[@Sl0thL0veChunk]

I don't remember which video it's in, but the most savage Larry Bird trash talk I remember is the guy who tried to talk trash to Larry, and Larry came back and hit like 7 or 8 shots on him in a row, and the last couple shots he made left-handed, and then he turns to the guy and asks him if his mom is watching haha. That's brutal.

[@cjxj2202]

They left out Craig Ehlo. He talked trash about his defense to Bird going into halftime as Bird was struggling. He said Bird came back out, made like ten in a row on him, and asked if his mom was watching 😂

[@tattoodude8946]

That is the best one and I can't believe it's not in this compilation. Here's the story told by Ehlo: kzbin.info6w_aSgJG81g It is such a brutal and hilarious dis. 🤣🤣🤣

[@paulpenix8198]

Great reaction. Better trash talking video is how Larry Bird terrorized NBA players. Also a must-see is Larry Bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit or Larry Bird passing highlights compilation by Murky Muffin. Don't if I got that name right. Subscribed. Those videos will not disapoint.

[@marykuettner752]

Nick Smith put together all the Bird trash talk stories he could find. It is four parts and shows most of the actual footage. John Stockton says Bird walked by the bench when John was a rookie and said "Mmm I feel like 43 tonite." After scoring 43 points he checked himself out of the game in the third quarter.

[@cindyknudson2715]

That is a GREAT series of videos. His videos on the 60pt game, which has interviews with those guys celebrating on the bench, and on the 4th Qtr Duel on 1988 are both fantastic videos as well. IMHO 🙂

[@teresavicario5848]

Bird recently was at a practice of…ack..which team?…. Anyway…one of the stars of that team said he came out on the court, in dress pants, and casually knocked back six three pointers in a row, in his sixties! Lol!

[@phantomimages7673]

The Dr. J. Game, Bird kept saying only two words to Dr. J. ….how many points He had and how many points Dr. J. Had. By the third quarter those two numbers were 42 and 6. Ainge said it was at that point Bird told Dr. J. He should retire. Two minutes later the fight broke out. Dr. J. and Bird were choking each other, Barkley and Moses Malone held Bird’s arms while Dr. J. Punched him a few times. They both got ejected, which was one of the last timers the two biggest stars from the teams got booted. There are so many other good bird Trash talking videos out there like “NBA Legends explain how scary Larry Bird was.” John Stockton said his rookie year that when the Celtics came to play Utah, that Bird walked by their bench and said he thought it would be a good night and he felt like 43 points. Stockton said he scored his 43rd point in the third quarter and checked himself out for the rest of the game, just so he ended with 43 points like he said he would. Another time they were playing the Knicks, during pre game warmups Bird was banking 3’s off the glass, a trainer from the Knicks, said he wouldn’t do that during the game. Bird bet him $5 he would. in the third quarter the Celtics were way up and Bird checked himself out, and he forgot about the bet. The trainer told Ainge to tell bird he wanted his $5. When Ainge told Bird that, he checked himself back in for 3 minutes just to bank a 3 in off the glasss to win the bet, and then checked himself out again. He even checked himself out in the third quarter one game, just one steal away from a quadruple double. When the reporters asked him why he didn’t stay in to get it, he simply replied, I can get a quad whenever I want, we were already way ahead, and I’d done enough damage already. The stories go on and on.

[@Mike-u3e5c]

Bird was cold with it.

[@VFL603]

Oh the is better ones when Larry would welcome rookies to the league priceless

[@rgreen1107]

next video recommendation .. “ Bird is the word “ fifteen minutes of bird highlights ! Starts out cheesy with the music , but it’s a banger !

[@cindyknudson2715]

Yeah, the music is a .... progression and it works 🙂 I do LOVE that video.

[@umpdaddy1]

Bird and Magic resurrected basketball. Most of the regular season games were on tape delay and not live. The sport was in trouble and those guys brought the spark back.

[@rgreen1107]

Before the brawl with Dr j , Larry already had 36 points , Julius Irving had just 6 ! Larry was , Im sure , rubbing it in !

[@bjsmith6187]

The fight happened because Larry was telling J how many points they each had up and down the court. When the fight happened it’s because Bird told him 38-6

[@alanela6761]

​@bjsmith6187 mchale has said that Larry told Dr. J, "38-6, you should think about retiring"

[@cindyknudson2715]

@alanela6761 And Bird said he never said that. It may have been ML "yakking" from the bench. Bird was giving him the point count tho. Both players ended up being ejected from the game. The point count between them was actually 42-6 when they both got tossed out of the game there near the end of the 3rd quarter.

[@alanela6761]

@cindyknudson2715 yep. 42-6 when Bird and Dr J each received (if I'm not mistaken) their only career ejections

[@MichaelRivera-ns2dd]

[@phils5423]

I like you guys, you're very young. But every time a legend pops up on the screen. I hear one you call his name before anybody says it I respect that

[@jameshelm2847]

There is a story out there that when Larry was in the front office for the Pacers, the team was warming up for practice, and Larry came down to the court. While the players were stretching, Larry grab a ball and started pumping away 3 after 3. Then he went and sat down. there was nothing the players could say. They were just in awe.

[@sharis9095]

You should look into the bit about his hand... he broke it just before starting with the Celtics. He had to have surgery but didn't tell them. Of course they found out and called him in to see if he could still play. He had a crooked finger and didn't have full feeling in one and there's always speculation he would've been even better without the injury.

[@joshuaswanson1977]

5 times Larry Bird was injured is a great video that really goes into that and the other injuries Larry played through.

[@cindyknudson2715]

His stroke was from over his head. Most people shoot from the face. That takes him fro 6'9" to 6'10.5"

[@realPenrodPooch]

There definitely are other and better videos on Larry's trash talking.

[@marthayoung2308]

Fyi, he didn't have his "full touch" though. He screwed his finger up right before he was drafted into the NBA, and didn't tell anyone because he wanted to play so bad! Larry said he never had the same feel for the ball because of his finger injury! Can you imagine? He played like THAT, but didn't have "full touch" of the ball! You can find video about his finger getting messed up, and it's still crazy crooked TODAY! Lol. So sad that his career was cut short because of an off court back injury though. Thank you both.

[@jamesglenboski2612]

There's another video you should watch. It called Making the Case for Bird to be the G.O.A.T.

[@ricklove8588]

This don't scratch the surface. Keep digging he was the man I watched his career in my teens. When he was coaching the pacers the players said the were stretching and Bird walked onto the floor in his suit and knocked down 10 straight 3s then walked back and sit on bench like nothing had happen. Players were like are you fucking kidding me

[@shaunculp4221]

The one with Dr. J everytime Larry scored he was saying 2 numbers how many points he had and how many Dr had. So it was like 25 6, 27 6. Finally he told Dr. J he should just retire so he ended up punching Larry and it turned into a fight.

Bird's trash talking was unique and different.

[@michaelgolez7154]

Those were the days that a Real SUPERSTAR are Trash Talkers, but now in this NBA era, Literally The Trash are the Trash Talkers😅😊

[@cindyknudson2715]

And it's different, in my opinion, if you are sassing someone AFTER you've hit a good shot or blocked one of theirs rather than, like Bird, telling them what you're going to do BEFORE you do it and then DOING it.

[@sharonsimmons6427]

If you haven’t seen Larry Bird: Making The Case, that’s a great all around video of his skills and accomplishments.

Larry Birds 50 greatest moments, do this one next.

[@Fermion.]

My All-Time starting 5. _I guarantee they're unbeatable._ PG - Magic - A 6'9" PG, that can play and guard all 5 positions. _Started a C in the Finals when Kareem was hurt, and played ALL 5 positions, to win the finals, AS A ROOKIE!_ SG - Jordan - *THE GOAT.* _Nothing else needs to be said._ SF - Bird - Best shooter in the league, that wasn't afraid to drive and fight. _Spreads the flood. High BB IQ, toughness, trash talker._ PF - Olajuwon - DPOY, MVP, Finals MVP, all in the SAME year. _Athletic big man with handles, defense, rebounding, mid-range jumper, and post dominance._ C - Shaq - Ain't nobody stopping Prime Diesal in the paint. NO ONE. _You got 2 options: get dunked on, or foul him._

[@liordagan9342]

Wilt would have stopped Shaq, he was at least as strong, better stamina, and ridiculous amount of NBA records. He is a better candidate for a GOAT than MJ. Bill Russell would have out smarted Shaq (and has 11 rings). Same for the Jocker, Shaq wouldn't be able to stop the Jocker too. A better pure PG than Magic (steals and assists record), would have been Stockton. Dr. J., at his prime, is a great competitor to Larry as SF. For Power Forward you can get Sir Charles or KD. Kobe Bryant as a shooting guard. And they have a very good chance of beating the other team.

[@Fermion.]

@@liordagan9342 Wilt's era goes against him being the GOAT. His competition was trash compared to modern athletes. Bill Russell? Please. He played with 4 other HALL OF FAME starters, and only had like 8 teams in the league. His 11 rings are overrated. Magic over Stockton because an athletic 6'9" PG, Magic could play and defend ALL 5 positions, creating matchup nightmares on both ends of the court. He started at C in the Finals when Kareem was hurt, to get 42/15, AS A ROOKIE. What's your team going to do when Magic continuously backs down a small PG like Stockton in the paint for easy layups/foul trouble/dunks? Double team? Then leave Jordan open to slash from the perimeter? Leave Bird open for 3? Leave Olajuwon or Shaq for an easy dunk? Do you now understand why Magic is a better fit for this team? For PF I'm sticking with Olajuwon, for the aforementioned reasons. _Athletic big man with handles, defense, rebounding, mid-range jumper, and post dominance on both sides of the ball._ He freaking won DPOY, MVP, Finals MVP, all in the SAME year. Your team would get destroyed in a best of 7 series. See, that's the problem with people like you. You're just looking at stats, going oooh, assists/steals record, oooohh 11 rings, that means they must be the better choice. But I'm actually thinking about what's going to happen out on the court, not in the stat books. Not only is my team going to have an easy time scoring, they're filled with defense, height, and toughness at every position. The shortest one is Jordan, at 6'6." They have no weaknesses.

[@liordagan9342]

@@Fermion. Have you seen Wilt's run stats? Or how Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about his strength, when Wilt was in his forties, threw 230 pounds Arnold like a ragged doll? Wilt was a monster, regardless of era, and great I.Q. too. Wilt could dunk instead of a foul shot, blocked a shot when his hand was higher than the board. How many athletes can do it today? He also lead the league in assists in one year. As for Stockton: Notice that I have written pure PG, not all around. Yes, Magic is much better all around player. But I went for pure PG, and the era is about the same, and his stats as a pure PG are far better. He was an accomplished thief. At least you have shown Dr J. and Kobe respect. Your greatest advantage is having Bird and Magic, so I.Q. wise, your team off the charts. As for Bill: the man's I.Q. doesn't change with the era. Red Aurbach put him and Larry in the same class. And as Luca, Jocker, Larry, proved, the I.Q. can more than compensate for less athletic ability, or strength.

[@Fermion.]

@@liordagan9342 OK, this exchange is over. It's quite obvious to me that you've never played organized before, because of your over reliance in basketball IQ, as I've noticed you only tend to apply high IQ to white players, as if black players are stupid. FOH white boy
