Dr.J was wrong. The season before Bird arrived, the Celtics only won 29 games, Larry's rookie season, they won 61 games. It's still the best single season turnaround in NBA history. And I will also add. That was the season after he lost to Magic in Ncaa final. And he took his frustration out on the entire league. 😮😂

Here's a story I saw from a man who said he was in the 8th grade while Larry Bird was a senior & P.E. assistant at Springs Valley High School. One day the coach set up a trampoline 35 feet from the goal. He then had Larry jump & shoot baskets. For every one he made, the coach would cut a lap the class had to run. Bird made 7 out of 10 shots while jumping & the guy said it made him understand that by working hard & not giving up, he could make his dreams come true. Larry put in the work to get as good as he was.

That's the difference between Larry and Lebron. Larry came into the league, improved his team by 33 wins his rookie year, and led them to a ring his second year. He was built differently. Larry was born with that killer instinct, the ability to lead, and when it came down to taking a game-winning shot, there is nobody in the history of the game who did it better. Lebron is an athletic freak but in my opinion he wasn't built like that. He really didn't get to that point until his 30s..to me that is the difference between an all time great like James and a Legend like Bird. I understand why this generation picks Lebron , but its just because they don't know. They didn't see Larry play or realize the impact he had on the league, that is why i am glad these videos exist

An NBA great said Larry Bird's strongest muscle was his brain! He was playing chess, when the other players were playing checkers. Larry was an around baller. He could shoot really well, Plus he was a great passer, a true team player, and very tough!!!! In one game he hit the floor face first and broke some bones in his face. He left briefly and then came back out & finished the game. Larry shot an entire three point contest with his warm-up jacket on. Before hand he asked the others who is going to finish second, because I'm going to win this. And he did!!!! In another game he told everyone I'm bored with this series, so next game I'm going to shoot the whole game left handed and he did. Near the end he went back to shooting with his right hand. To use a saying from today ---- "He talked the talk, and he walked the walk!" He backed up what he said. He coached! He was a good administrator. A once in a lifetime basketball brain.. Everyone had trouble guarding Bird, everyone!!! It is NOT bragging if you do what you said you were going to do!!! Larry played in the NBA back when it was very physical. Back then when they fouled you , they fouled you. They would knock you into next week!! Plus he was fun to watch!!!!!

Determination: Leading the Boston Celtics to multiple championships and consistently performing at a high level. Tenacity: Competing fiercely on the court, never backing down from a challenge.

It baffles me that David Robinson thinks Bird was "humble". Bird had a blue-collar, outwork everyone mentality and may have lived a humble life away from the game. . . but he was hardly humble when he was on the court. The non-athletic comments about Bird are also a bit misleading. He certainly wasn't fast in a Kyrie or Iverson sense, but he had an amazingly quick first step. Considering he was listed at 6'9", (but was likely 6'10") he could jump better than folks thought - he just didn't need to. He was strong. He had amazing endurance. And he probably had some of the best hand-eye coordination ever. As great a shooter as he was, he said that he never had the same feel for the ball after he mangled his shooting hand index finger playing a charity softball game in college.. Great reaction. I love the respect for Bird and all the greats of his era.

As a 60 year old man who has damn near seen them ALL, without ANY "dog in the fight", I don't have LeBron in the top 5. no disrespect at all but i have seen them all. Growing up as a Knicks fan i HATED MJ and what he did to my beloved Knicks BUT mentioning him and James in the same paragraph is disrespectful but i digress. I think a much more respectful comparison would be against Kobe, who i have above James too. And Bird, MJ and Kobe did it with ONE TEAM! But i digress. But if you want to see players that are ARGUABLY Better than James, without using emotions and just watching what they did with the rock look at: Bob Cousy Wilt Chamberlain Pete "Pistol" Maravich Magic Johnson Bill Russell Bird (is already being watched) Dr. J Connie Hawkins No need to put Michael Jordan on this list because i don't think there has been a better athlete in ANY sport. And this is coming from a man that DESPISED this guy! It's because of him i NEVER bought a pair of Nikes!! But gottdammit he is Zeus at basketball.

Lebron is possibly the greatest athlete the NBA has ever seen. But Bird would be able to out-think him. Bird was cerebral, he knew where to be & when, and he knew where everyone ELSE was going to be and when. He would talk trash and get in Lebron’s head. And finally Bird was tougher. Lebron sat out because the building didn’t have AC once. Bird dominated a game with a fractured orbital bone suffered from face-planting diving after a loose ball. Not to mention his back was so bad for years he had to be adjusted for hours so it would be stable enough to last through a game. For seven years to be specific.
