DeutschlandPorsche That's why names are important. You can call anybody that. But there is only one Larry Joe Bird. Just as the commentator said after he dropped 60, in the manner that he did it: " Larry Bird!, Larry Bird!, Larry Bird!" and you knew exactly what he's talking about. Larry Joe Bird

legend has it, he walked in to the locker room before the shootout and asked the other players, "so who came here to win second place? " then he went out there and he didn't even take his warm up jacket off to win his 3rd title in a row. ,

No zone D as it was all man. No free reign around the rim. It's a different game now and a worse one at that. Youngsters today can watch highlights from that era all day long and still won't be able to grasp the time period.

If you notice bird’s form when he shoots is one of a kind. His hand is sort of behind his head at the beginning of his shot. I’ve never in my life seen anyone with this technique. Almost as if he cups the ball in his hand and creates a huge arc. Literally the smoothest release I have ever seen in the history of basketball.

PEOPLE MENTIONING THE "LOW" SCORE: Kevin Love won with 17 points in 2012, Daequan Cook with 19 in 2009, Dirk with 18 in 2006, Hornacek with 13 in 2000... Craig Hodges has the record for most points in a round, ever, in 1986 (Bird won that contest). Hodges also has the record for most consecutive shots made with 19, in 1991, and Bird is 2nd with 11, in 1986. Larry is also 4th all-time in most points in the final round, with 22. Oh, and players back then didn't grow up with the 3PT line, plus they now have the money-ball rack which allows for more total points. Just this year, only a couple of players reached 20 points WITH the money-ball rack. Go watch the 1986 contest for Bird's best performance, also.

Bird was just one of those players who played the game from the neck up. Wasn't the most athletic guy, or talented guy. He was just very smart, and knew how the game needed to be played. Tremendous heart. IMO, still....still one of the top 6 or 7 best players ever.

@JakeStine
@JakeStine 4 жыл бұрын
​@@joehalili8468 First off, shooting 40% from 3pt is pretty good even today. A significant number of Bird's 3's were contested shots and last-second heaves from half court. He only took around 2.5 3pt shots per game for the bulk of his career, and usually one of those was a last second heave to end a quarter, and another was him throwing up some junk with 2 or 3 guys in his face. And his avg was still 40%. By comparison, Lillard avgs 40% today and while he certainly shows his range, he also takes 9 attempts a game and most of them aren't deep or contested. The 43% Lillard shoots when wide open helps offset the 35% he shoots when he's actually somewhat covered, and/or when the clock is running down.

Maybe not the greatest of all time but the best shooter I ever saw all around. Three pointers, left handed hook from the foul line, changing the arc of a shot to keep from blocks when a center was in front of him, I've seen him do it all. Michael Cooper once guarded him so close he was almost in Larry's shorts, and Bird still did an amazing turn around jumper tear drop that swished. Unbelievable.
