LeBron Fan Reacts To Why You NEVER Poke Larry Bird - A Trash Talk STORY Told By NBA Legends!!

[@NoMercy4k]

Nahh that Willis guy might've cost his team this game shouldn't have poked the bear 🤦🏽‍♂️😈

[@pappajudas9267]

For a little more context when they were talking about his Achilles tendons that was game 7 of the semi-finals 1988. The 1989 season Larry Bird was off for double Achilles surgery.

[@patticriss2238]

Wilkins was all class, all the time. On and off the court. Good man and freak player. Amazing

[@NoMercy4k]

💯🫡

[@syx3s]

you know you've got a living legend when the other team 30 years later will talk about him like this when he beat them in the playoffs. lots of respect all around tbf.

[@NoMercy4k]

[@gailshepard-cook6350]

What made this game even better; You could See Larry wasn't feeling good at all, But He was just to determined to Win. Wilkins was One of the Best & He & Larry really did Respected Each Other.

[@NoMercy4k]

Yeah that def makes his 4th quarter performance so much more impressive if he was hurt or sick fasho I respect bird a lot 🫡

[@NoMercy4k]

and yeah its great when top players like that can compete at the highest level but still be cool and respect eachother at the end of the day 💯

Yeah I can tell I respect it 🫡

[@NoMercy4k]

He did seem extremely clutch ngl

[@lll9416]

'Nique was called The Human Highlight Reel He was spectacular!

[@NoMercy4k]

He def seemed spectacular to me here 💯

[@aramhamparian9641]

Just one example of why the moniker "legend" is applied to Larry's name. This was an incredible game that featured the greatest 4th quarter in NBA playoff history. And let's give major props to Dominique.

[@NoMercy4k]

Idk if it was the greatest 4th quarter ever but its def up there Larry snapped and yessirrr Doninique seems like a class act gotta respect him 💯

[@fidge54]

@@NoMercy4k Nique definitely was - and is - a class act

[@StormyPeak]

What I find amazing, is Bird did that against Dominique...a younger, very healthy, very talented player -- while Bird was daily experiencing extreme back pain, and too his Achilles pain. I can't remember when it happened, but did have double Achilles surgery. And given how he fell down after that one shot and stumbled on another, I think he was struggling with the pain in his legs and back more than anyone even knew. BTW, I blew out an Achilles tendon....it sounded like a .22 firearm shot....literally made a 'bang' sound....happened when I stepped off a curb and onto a street. A lady next to me, asked me if I just broke a bone...she heard the 'bang' too. I had been having pain in that leg, and just thought I strained something for like a week prior to the tendon letting go...so yeah, I know that pre-pain, as well as the after pain of an Achilles tendon snapping. Larry is just absolutely amazing, doing what he did, while dealing with so much pain.

[@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, Hakeem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and many more), Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year.

That was an amazing game. You should watch the whole thing sometime.

[@marksanchez8055]

Kudos on the respect for the players , all of them , regardless of what many younger fans say today , the Bird Magic era was iconic , unless they allow more contact in today's game, we will never see this type of greatness again, I watched these games in my generation, i haven't watched much in 20 years , it's to soft in my opinion, Great athletes for sure in today's game, but it's a perimeter shoot around now , No disrespect but the political correct stuff ended it for me

[@NoMercy4k]

Ofcc I'll always respect the greats of the game the generation dont matter to me but yeah its just 2 completely different games at this point, and with society changing so is everything else i don't blame you for not watching but theres def been some amazing moments still in the sport the last 10 years 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jeanniewalla5647]

another thing that was amazing about Bird , through all his pain he never took pain medication , today if a player breaks a fingernail they can't play

[@NoMercy4k]

that us tuff

[@Jericho363]

My fave Bird, and Nique' story. Both beasts and my top 5 faves. Epic and legendary game. Bird would have turned on anyways, but K. Willis is just another casualty of stupidity. And ya, do some Spud Webb, a pitbull. It'd be cool if you reacted to this whole game 7 from 88', and a vid on D. Wilkins....a beast.

[@NoMercy4k]

I feel you my guy they did both seem amazing ima def check out a vid on both Wilkins and Webb soon I'll write down your suggestions 💯

[@TrojanRabbit521]

Bird was just an assassin on the court. I remember this game and it was a slug fest. As Lakers fan I wanted Hawks to win but Larry is a heartbreaker. You outta watch Nique vs Jordan slam dunk contest. To this day I say Wilkins won the dunk contest. Dom was a more viscous dunker.

[@shanemolloy4731]

Bird a beast

[@NoMercy4k]

Faxxx

[@guidosegalla82]

I honestly believe if bird didn't have double Achilles surgeries ,and a dislocated back he would have been the greatest player of all time no doubt about it ! I watch that game, and all these games they show of bird I was lucky.

[@NoMercy4k]

Yeah u def were lucky im ngl but shii if he didn't have all those injuries he might've been the goat frr but sadly he did have his career cut short cuz of them and that plays a factor 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Instrument_of_Peace]

I think Larry's face said.. I'm hurting.. but I'm determined.. bad back, bad heels.. he was in pain.. but he was gutting it out. pushed through it to win. And all kinds of respect to Wilkins.. great player with great sportsmanship and respected Bird and still does.. That's to me a great player..

[@randyobrien2836]

That was a fun game to watch.

[@NoMercy4k]

I can imagine 💯

[@mattstrathis4328]

Larry Bird is who I modeled my game after. Shooting from anywhere on the court at any time in different ways. Runners, floaters, left handed hook shots, bank shots, shooting while sprinting, and always move without the ball to find easy layups. And then also being able to keep your teammates involved, and making every hustle play. Of course, this is all easier said than done!

[@LSFA-KrissyL16]

Bird actually had bronchial pneumonia during this game. that man was LEGIT epic.

Baseball players now are making more than any sport. 400 million it's crazy..Larry as a 3 time champion wasn't making even close to that kind of money.. and played with a bad back, achilles problems in both heels, a fractured cheekbone... never quit.

Go down the rabbit, you're gonna fall in love with Bird, French Lick is 45 minutes North from here. See how he geew up, his coach in high school tricking those boys to practice all day "work on these three plays, I'll be back to see if you improved" Somedays he forgot to return and they just krpt practicing. As a kid I heard of him going to IU, he left and people were hot. Next time I heard about Larry was at ISU, the tune "INDIANA HAS A NEW STATE BIRD" and they were undefeated. Magic and Sparty beat them. Sucked. He goes to Boston, hated Bird, I was a Sixer. Don Buse was an Indiana Pacer and NBA ALL STAR from 3 miles away, Holland IN pop 500, my dad shot hoops with him on the playground "when Don was on your team you knew you were going to win" Little Holland IN (in the movie Hoosiers btw) also produced Gene "Bumper" Thormolien who spent his whole life in the NBA, still has TN Volunteer records, rings, a Hawk buried in Atlanta. Indiana fd up a d did like the rest of the country, Class Basketball. It set us apart No mre David slaying Goliath, ruined it. Google Huntingburg Memorial Gymnasium. When built held twice the towns population. 6,200 capacity. 13 team sectionals, legendary. It was the Counry rivals after consolidation and outsiders Perry Central, incredible, risers added, 7,000+ fi grrs in the air outside, placed drunk as fuck, it was awesome. Jasper our biggest rival had Scott Rolen the HOF baseball player, Digger Phelps and...brain fart. Many big time coaches were there but Bobby Knight took the spotlight. Nick Nolte was shadowing Knight studying fir Blue Chips the movie when he asked "what is Hoosier Hysteria" Knight replied "come with me tonight, you'll find out". Nobody noticed Nick Nolte (he's short btw) but Robert Montgomery Knight could've declared war on Kentucky and that criwd would've taken Louiswithin the hour. Rolen had a gane for the ages but it was not enough. I'll stop. Class Basketball sucks. Oh, nodoby gies to the games anymore. PS. Holland also produced Colson Montgomery drafted 1st round out of High School by the Chicago White Sox.
