I got to watch him mow his lawn a couple of times when I was a kid. Kind of surreal, funny and awesome all at once.

[@kojiattwood]

Could you imagine something like that now? Incredible....

[@Esopusfloater]

Was that in Newton?

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@denniswilson9367]

I've watched this documentary easily 20 times. One of the best I've ever seen. Great time period to watch basketball :)

[@LadyShar]

I'm on the edge of my seat for part 3. I am enjoying your reaction.

[@ebenclukey7293]

The reason they had no sponsors is because no one was watching. Companies want their ads viewed by the largest audience. The NBA had one of the smallest audiences.

[@davidmowry8951]

13:22 in this video is iconic. Larry Bird Dr.J, Moses Malone and Charles Barkley. Fkn awesome. Legends

[@irishgrl]

The loss to Michigan was SO heartbreaking, but possibly predictable. Magics team was better while Larry’s team pretty much only had Larry. The plan to neutralize Larry was all it took. I read in one of his biographies that before the game he wasn’t “feeling it.” Regardless, I think the sight of Larry’s head in the towel after the game has to be one of the most heartbreaking sights ever.

[@elvispresley5921]

Heya IrishGrl , how r ya? I am in the middle of writing a new Larry Bird book & Just wanted to let you know , your getting mentioned in the book , IF you have no objections...ofc.

[@areese240z]

Interesting fact during the NCAA championship game Larry was playing with 3 fractures on his left thumb.

[@sherispringer2913]

Fact

[@irishgrl]

I’m loving this journey ❤️

[@elvispresley5921]

I just checked out that LB-song.... The amount of song we hear is perfect...any more than that...well....trust me.

[@patriciaotoole5930]

Pure basketball player

[@irishgrl]

Your question about sponsors…sponsors make money when seats are filled. Or when TV sets are tuned to a certain program. You kinda missed the implications of what Bryant Gumbel meant when he was talking about differences in STYLE. Imo, the way Whites play vs the way Blacks play the game MATTERS. White players are historically TEAM oriented, and focus on fundamentals. Black players are SELF oriented & focus on personal glory & stats. Michael Cooper basically said the same thing. The way it seemed to me at the time was that there was a real culture clash on the court & with the audience. As well, the perception of drug use was a turn off, as well as the super aggressive style of play by the Black players…And that meant the sponsors had no reason to invest money if nobody was interested…

[@andybilakshow260]

You see how this game propelled Larry's nba career. Larry knew he needed BIG changes. And the rest is history.

[@davidnoel2977]

I used to watch Arseneo Hall waaaay back in the day.

[@mikmaqwoman]

Thanx so much son...I love these/your reactions. Awesomeness

[@weslennon3425]

Knickerbockers were their own enemy, they battled each other as well as the team they were playing. Everyone stopped that thanks in part to Pistol Pete Maravich when he dropped 68 points on them with no 3-Point line or a shot clock. To stop him from hitting 70 points the refs called two fouls that were not fouls, just to get him out of the game. Maravich last year in the pro's, he went to the Celtics, and was Bird's rookie year.

[@ontrack16]

I like your react to this era of ball. As a lowly Warrior fan in the 80s', I liked Bird's game and was jealous of Magic as Showtime spanked my home team. I love the feeling of redemption now as the Warrior's have been playing this selfless ball for the last decade with some decent results. (I'm 50 years old and I can't believe my Golden State Warriors have 4 titles in the last 8 years- sheesh! ;)

[@billbox1916]

ShakaShine Thank you!! 😎

[@andybilakshow260]

Alarm clock: I haven't used an alarm clock in 40 years. And even further than that all through high school, I'd set my alarm for 7:30 and wake up every morning at 7:25 & turn the alarm off. I haven't worn a watch since 1989. The clocks I do have, I set 10 minutes fast so I'm never late.

[@brasco96wired67]

Enjoyed the reaction.

[@angelaherring5443]

I use an alarm clock but I always wake up 30 minutes before it goes off.

[@petragrevstad2714]

I set to alarms bc I always manage to put one out in my sleep 😂. And I snooze for like an hour. If I don’t have anywhere I have to be, I sleep until I wake up by myself, usually around 8.30.

[@mortimerbustos4487]

Tell ‘em man. We’re all in this together.

[@psychopolka782]

I loved his show

[@alfredoramos9782]

Great reaction, you should turn the volume up a little, stay safe and God bless always man,watching from the Phillipines

[@yambo59]

Yea and the playboy mansion is where he probably contracted the aids virus and we almost lost one of the worlds great superstars, thankfully he got through it and him and Larry saved the league then became lifelong friends after they both retired.

[@Esopusfloater]

I know Larry has mentioned that it was the last game of his college days and a 30 - 0 season: I’m sure he felt the weight of his school and his team on him as the lead scorer.

[@robintackett7039]

Love your reactions!

[@angelojohnson3948]

There wasn't nobody to promote. Before. Magic and Bird.

[@youdontsay2181]

Enjoy your hosting, As to the sponsorship, I believe ultimately it came down to, color,....the color green, basketball wasn't getting the ratings, there was the race issue, and the drug problem,so sponsors held out until they felt they could take a gamble and make some money...just my personal opinion. Thx for the GREAT videos This story is one for the AGES, I don't think there'll b another like it They're story was and is EPIC

[@Wyl7]

I use an alarm clock… but I also get up at 4:30am so that I can go to the gym from 5-6am then get home and shower and eat before starting my 7a-4p work day. I’m not a morning person at all, but I also know that if I don’t exercise before work I’m not going to at all lol

[@richarddixon4303]

Sorry I'm a whole month late. I've always been a subscriber for the music reaction. But I grew up in Indiana not far from Larry's home town I've I've aways liked larry bird but was a Lakers fan. I was born in California. But grew up in Indiana. I've seen all your Larry Bird reactions my favorite player growing up was wilt Chamberlain. So thanks for all your reactions of larry Bird reminds me of how great he was .

[@vdeserisy]

I loved the Arsenio Hall show! 😊

[@macsaints10]

After enjoying your 1st part of Magic, Bird special more people should see your unifying style more now than ever, where it’s now more obvious than ever they “elite” want to divide and conquer. We just didn’t see they’ve been doing this Forever!

[@omgbygollywow]

24:00 No, Bruno Mars began as a child impersonating Elvis.

[@christopherking4932]

Awesome video

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

There were no sponsors cuz there was no money to make in the League. When ut comes to business it always comes down to money in the long run.

[@msw8966]

98 out of 100 times I wake up without an alarm clock. I hate that it happens but it happens constantly. I've watched many of your videos also great reactor bro keep it up.

[@shakashinereacts]

Thank you! 🙏

[@angelojohnson3948]

Larry talked a lotta shit. He walked up to DOC and he wasn't having it.

[@chrismitchell9689]

25 year/25 mil🤨. That’s a Helluva deal

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

When TV ratings are down sponsors drop... that's just the way it is! They're needed to be teams.. that actually played as teams! Everyone trying to be the diva ....doesn't win games ...plain and simple! You don't win games who's gonna care?!

[@LadyShar]

You should react to the Dr J fight game, it was the craziest game I ever saw.

[@petragrevstad2714]

I don’t live in the US so maybe I don’t understand the problem but how does it matter what colour a person have doing anything? If you’re watching basketball, I would presume you want to see fun and exiting games and great players performing? How does that experience change with the way a player looks 🤔?

[@jessicasevin1870]

This was in 1970s America at this time was integrating everyone and some people just don't like change

[@mikebeasley6447]

JUST MAKES YOU WONDER IF BIRD HAD JUST HAD ONE COMPLIMENTARY PLAYER (SOMEONE TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF OF BIRD) WOULD THAT HAVE CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF THAT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME? WE WILL NEVER EVER KNOW!!!!!!!!!

[@geraldsmith6191]

Watching this is great. It would be much greater if you can learn not to interrupt the show every 5 seconds. Some of us out here know much more about the players and their team, coaches, etc. than you do and it detracts from the show when you cannot hold back commenting about a superficial piece of knowledge you've gained or have to reinforce what one of the players or commentators has said. You may not like hearing this, but to many of those listening I'll bet they don't care about your "insights" because you don't have any extraordinary insights that are of interest because you haven't lived the game like some do for many years who can really say remarkable things...not every 5 seconds either. As for me I'm reluctant to tune in again. And you're not the only one. Some are incredible in laughing and noisy interrupting for long nonsense and child's play. I make a point not to go back to those.

[@mcigloo]

He HAS to pause and provide additional jokes, narration, criticism, commentary, etc. Otherwise, the video would not be fair use. Mot reactors would take this Larry V Magic film and make one video with ten minutes of content and call it a day. ShakaShine goes the extra mile and makes it five parts to get as much of the original content for us as possible and you got to go and be a douche about it?!?!?!
