Marc The Sparc TV, you would be welcome with open arms brother we all have opinions you keep it real 100%. I love watching your videos because you call it how you see it. Don't think because of your opinions or possibly the color of your skin you would be attacked because you keep it real 1, I'm a big fan of yours man I respect your opinion more than most people on the game of basketball! So please try to reconsider think about the situation different... I'm a big fan brother.

[@msw8966]

You're a true analyst of the game then that's why I respect you so much with your comedic blend LOL.

[@victorsixtythree]

Man, what a classic! Unsung hero for Atlanta was shooting guard Randy Wittman who scored 22 on 11 for 13 shooting.

[@irishgrl]

Wow…with the sound gone in the background I realized how much I liked hearing those announcers 😂 Still, we have Marc with HIS commentary which is ALSO great 👍

[@SteveGellerMusic]

This game, dubbed "The Duel," has what is widely considered to be the best Game 7 4th quarter in NBA history.

[@eddiehaskell1957]

The Doctor was the first high fly slammer jammer. Pull up 3, Bird against the Mavs in Dallas with 4 seconds left and down by 2. After this game Bird told Dominique that they both deserved to win that game.

[@scottbuono2507]

🏀33☘️Marc this game took years off my life..we still talk about it to this day..the whole 4th was jumping up and down hugging and yelling when Larry scored..then another ‘Nique bucket and the whole house yelling f**k!!! at the same time..wash/rinse/repeat..we just couldn’t pull away because they never cooled off it was crazy..as great a scorer as Dominique was this game was different he was hitting shots that we never even saw him attempt before and being in the same conference we played them a lot..the competition and intensity here was at a level I had never felt before..incredible analysis and narration here brother🔥👏🏼 closest I’ve ever felt to being back there in that tight a** little TV room..thank you Marc👍🏼🙏🏼

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

You’re welcome! These old school videos really give me a glimpse of how intense the game were in the 80s… it’s definitely fun to watch

[@vanhattfield8292]

Good story, the kind that makes browsing through the comments worth it. 👍

[@mrho4speed]

I believe this game was in 1985. Bird had a concentration level that was extraordinary. Yes he hit the last 2 shots to finally get the win in this game. You can find a game vs Washington ( at Washington) where Bird hit a 3 pointer to tie the game at the end of the game , except KC Jones had called a time out so the 3 pointer was waved off. After the time out, Bird gets the ball and hits a running 3 pointer to tie up the game again. Then in overtime ( in the same game) down by 1 point , Bird hits another running shot to win the game = the announcers ( the Washington announcers) could only say "Incredible - there has never been anybody better ". Also the "left handed game" in Portland, where Bird totaled 20 some points left handed of his 47 total points = a game where Bird hit a fifteen foot jump shot to tie the game and force overtime and then in the overtime Bird hit the game winner with 3 seconds left to win the game. Bird loved to be able to put the game away and wanted those opportunities = he actually demanded the ball even from his coach on some occasions. His 20 points in the 4th quarter in game 7 ( on 9 out of 10 shooting) vs the Hawks and Dominque Wilkins in "the shoot-out" is another example. Bird has to be in anyone's all time starting five IMO.

[@scottbuono2507]

Also Marc you nailed it that’s a great eye right there take it from someone who never missed a game in that era Larry literally SPED UP his shooting mechanics on the fly during the game to overcome the double’s and triple’s but also to make sure he could beat the defenders hands that Fratello had running at him..I had never seen that before either

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

Yeah I could tell even through the grainy footage… Larry Bird was a beast

[@eddiehaskell1957]

I had to come back again, that may be your best reaction...I agree with moving off the ball clinic. Coop with the Lakers always guards Bird, he said you couldn't take a break when guarding Bird.

[@chrisb3738]

Check out some games from the 81 Sixers-Celtics series. Best playoff series ever - an absolute war.

[@kevinblock2307]

Larry Bird my all time favorite player…his fadeaway jumper on the block was money. He had the all around game

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

Literally unstoppable

[@alfredoramos9782]

Great reaction man, there's still a lot of close games where Larry the legend Bird is clutch, stay safe and God bless always, watching from the Phillipines

[@aramhamparian9641]

Bird guaranteed the win after game six. All the Hawks heard it and were upset. That fourth quarter is the most famous quarter in basketball playoff history. Doc Rivers stated that 'Nique and Bird were playing one on five basketball up and down the court and Bird's will won out at the end. I remember watching this game as a kid.

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

That’s crazy to guarantee a game 7 like that… but Bird really turned on the after burners in the 4th and back it up… much respect ✊🏾

[@victorsixtythree]

16:04 - Man, how about that LEFTY shot in the lane? Also, at 19:25 after Dominique's put back, Bird had a LEFT HANDED three quarter court inbounds pass to Ainge for a wide open layup (he missed but they called goal tending on Doc).

[@irishgrl]

Larry HAS pulled up at the 3pt line but I don’t know which game….wait, I remembered one, it’s actually in his ultimate mixtape. Larry catches a long pass close to the half-court line turns around and makes a basket. He’s also actually pulled up & made a 3pt tho…

[@ryanmacrae6217]

Thanks for another Bird vid brother..🍀

[@kevinsullivan617]

Love these old time games would love if you did more of these!!

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

I got you… I love watching these too… I find out a little bit more about these old school greats every time I watch a game

[@fidge54]

Shit man, the 80s were the best. No cap

[@jaded9234]

Have you watched Bird's televised half-court shot? He actually bought the Celtics a free weekend from practice by sinking one and running out of the gym and straight to the pond.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Reggie Miller is who started to make 3 pointers on fastbreaks, although not the same amount of today obviously

[@cappy1920]

You can tell the Celtics are old and worn out after many years playing into June. They are dragging and walking down the court, no acceleration or explosiveness. That's why the lost to the Pistons the next series. But they were still clutch and made the right pass for an open jumper. The big guys were all playing injured too.

[@FUBAR1986]

I’m surprised you didn’t say Kobe hitting three point pull-ups but there was a lot of guys before Kobe too man

[@keithclark2873]

I normally get annoyed at most commentary but the shit was funny and really spot on. From an old head and Bird fanatic. Good vid👍

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

Lmao I tried... appreciate you

[@theomen7665]

J Will used to pull up from three, no defenders. He was doing it in high school in W. Va, he was doing it at Florida and he was doing it in the league. Years before Reddick

[@kurtjohnson3917]

So I lived in Boston during Bird's early years there, became a Celts fan. Loved the team, and think DJ is one of the most underrated PG's ever. This game is later, when Bird is all busted up, but still killin' it. But yes, Boston had some definite issues with racism. I'm a white guy, but almost came to hands with a white racist from Southie. But if you had been in the Garden and rooting for the Celtics, you'd be fine. Now, if you were there with an Atlanta Jersey? Better have a police escort out of the area after the game. And then hope the Irish cops don't beat your ass.

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

Yeah, I’ve heard a bunch of stories like that from players… but I’m sure that environment was one of the best in league history if you were a Celtics fan

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

Bird has had open shots and dribbled back out to the 3 Line to shoot. The Chief was Offensive force ,especially on the break. He may be the best running "true center" ever... Warriors do one thing better than anyone and that is moving picks. Apparently no longer illegal to do so. As Barkley has lamented, all the dunking is hell on the body and in those days, you didn't sit down when you were banged up.... And... if Guards went around dunking on the break, somebody was going to make you pay for showing them up. You would find yourself in the fifth row or taking a Magic Special to the face like Isaiah did(with stitches) This wasn't High School and it isn't "The League" .This was grown ass men playing for blood, money and pride, not Twitter posts... You would have been welcome in the Garden. After the game, in certain bars, not so much...

[@brasco96wired67]

Man you would fit in there. There's a sister @15:21 behind the guy in blue on the left. Get you a green Bird jersey and you'd be fine. Great reaction. Thanks!

[@amirplot]

Man i like your videos You are a realy funny guy 😆😆

[@venetoaward]

Larry pulled up a 3 for a last second winner, can't remember the game or year tho

[@MarcTheSparcTV]

I might find it on my down this Larry Bird rabbit hole

[@aramhamparian9641]

Against Dallas and the Knicks. I remember the Knicks only because I was at the game when I had season tickets to my NY team. Bird is a cold MF'er..

[@SteveGellerMusic]

@@MarcTheSparcTV It was in Dallas. If you search Bird buzzer beaters, he hit it in Dallas with 4 seconds left, to go from down 2 to up 1. He had something like 45 points in the game.

[@fidge54]

Chief had that high release too. So did McHale

[@orangeandblackattack]

these guys are making tough shots dude! both sides.

[@SteveGellerMusic]

BTW, there were some Black fans in the Garden. Not all that many, but some. Part of the problem was that during the 80's, there was a very long waiting list for tickets (the Celtics sold out nearly 500 straight games). So the people who were attending were a) usually rich (which translated usually to "White" in Boston in the 80's), and b) usually the same people. It was hard to break into the rotation.

[@cindyknudson2715]

I've read that for Bird's first game you could still walk in off the street and be able to buy a good seat. By the sixth game tickets were standing room only. Then they became sold out until some point after Bird retired.

[@jeff7474]

Bird did pull up shot . You will see in Larry Bird videos.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

5:07 Robert Parrish.

[@msw8966]

Dominique can't do much when he's one-on-one with Larry legend. 😉

[@brianjones6465]

Bird's not athletic and he did this against arguable the most athletic man in the NBA at the time. Pffft.

[@msmith5121]

I respectfully cannot watch this video as your commentary and narration is consistently present and just never never stops....the announcers comments are important and at times very profound and yet your voice is always overpowering what is being said on the video. Can't watch it...pretty obvious that this video is supposed to be all about you, not the video. Unfortunate...
