Every single minute on tape we get of these legend is precious gold! They played in a different time, and their heroics in battle on the court should NEVER be discounted or forgotten. They paved the way for the modern evolution of the sport. Larry and Magic truly saved the NBA. We owe them so much flowers!

maybe - they took 1998 Bulls to 7 games, and Shaq-Kobe Lakers to 6 in the later finals. Talent-wise they were outmatched. But I'm not sure Larry could win a ring if he coached longer because Indiana was a small-market team. Phil Jackson always made sure he had a nice situation with Jordan-Pippen and Shaq-Kobe, or Kobe-Gasol-Artest-Buynum. @@civilwarwasaninsidejob7405

Larry Bird would be absolutely great in today's game with his all-around game, his size, and especially his shooting. Imagine Bird actually practicing the 3 everyday and then all his attempts. Remember that Bird shot 50/40/90 twice. I think he'd do much better in today's game and as things stand, he's one of the best shooters ever.

Anyone who thinks Larry Legend couldn't dominate in a league that Jokic rules and Luka prospers, is just foolish. Speed is great and all, but a great half-court player who can do everything will always be highly dangerous, especially in the playoffs. Just imagine KD with a bit less speed, but far more basketball IQ, rebounding, tenacity, clutch genes AND heart... I ain't hating on KD, it's just the truth. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great get Austin!👌 As a Lakers fan, I hated Larry when I was just a young tot. Now, I have the ultimate respect for him, his career, and the competitive spirit he showed during his amazing career. The span he had from '84 to '88 was simply phenomenal! Had he not been so devastated from his injuries, especially his back, we might have seen him play a few more years, and also seen him play at a higher-level after '88! To this day, I don't think there has ever been a smarter player than Larry in NBA history. His lightning-quick decision-making and ability to see the whole floor was next-level!

TOO soft and TOO many 3 point shots and it looks STUPID. A bunch of Players standing around the 3 point line is a JOKE. Today's NBA game stinks and I refuse to watch a soccer game when they should be playing Basketball.

Great interview and thanks for sharing this!! Many people do not remember that Bird did not have a 3 point line in high school or in college. The NBA 3 point line was new to the NBA in Bird's rookie season. Bird's first coach Bill Fitch hated the 3 point shot and evidently so did KC Jones. Can you imagine how good of a 3 point shooter Bird would be today being able to practice it growing up!! Bird created the 50-40-90 club and did it 2 seasons back to back (87 and 88) and was so close in 85 and 86 that if you total Bird's stats for those 4 years = Bird actually averaged 50-40-90 over 4 consecutive seasons. I also liked how Bird thought the "trash talk" was really for the court and players only but Bird's trash talk was so good and so funny that the opposing players and coaches and his own teammates were so entertained that they felt compelled to tell them and we are lucky to hear them. I have always felt Bird was the most complete and best overall player I have ever seen!!

For those who don't have these videos in their algorithm, a Gen Alpha viewer.. who normally is a LeBron fan, Curry fan, sometimes a Kobe fan.. they watch highlights of the 80s & 90s NBA. And the consensus is usually positive. Having watch the NBA for 4 decades now, it goes to show how Larry's game has inspired many of the stars today. As simple as running backwards to get prepared on D.. to Larry's trash talking. Everyone respects the Hick from French Lick for his career and the accomplishments he did.

My best friend and I worked for Sports Channel New England in the early to mid 1980's. We could sit wherever we wanted to sit, go wherever we wanted to during home games at The Garden. We were allowed to shoot on the court before games. Mostly behind the visiting teams bench. I was behind Barkley when he went up into the stands after a fan. The only way to truly appreciate the level of play is from the court level. What a trip. So grateful for that experience.

I wish I would have seen or been able to see him play. I was 8 when he started playing with the Celtics. But I was raised in a male dominated Lakers fan family. You could tell when the two played. That was when it was dangerous to enter the room the game was played in. Larry really riled my uncles up. Larry was like the JR Ewing of basketball to me. Ruthless, scary & mysterious. Three years ago I went down the Larry Bird rabbit hole. I'm so glad I did. Now I know why he got to my uncles so bad. Larry was amazing. Playing & STILL dominating with all the injuries he had. He WAS a lethal marksman. If all the stories are true about his trash talking. That makes me love him even more. So hilarious. Such a shame players weren't mic'd up back then. His full court passes are my favorite. Under, over, left or right handed.....poetry in motion. #birdgang 🍀🐐💚

He doesn’t hurt his back and it’s Jordan Bird in the same conversation best all time he’s still top 10 to me easy.

Being from the New England area this is wonderful to see. I have not watched basketball much after Larry retired. Just about saw it all those years. I feel blessed to have the Celtics 🍀 as our regional basketball team. Glad you got this interview and it’s great to see Larry talking this much.

The fact that he thinks his trash talk is overblown makes him even more legendary lol

Much respect to a legend! I couldn't stand u growing up as a Pistons fan, but after the invention of KZbin, I found a whole new opinion on your career. Like how u acknowledged today's game, but still should shouted out a lot of old school players, when the interview was about u! No racism in this statement, but you're the baddest white boy I ever seen play. U put fear in whole fanbases in clutch moments. And I'll never forget the "back"game vs Indiana. I knew from the look in your eyes, u was about to go beast mode

If you notice, Larry is lefty, but he shot all his NBA career with his right hand…what a man!

Wow! Thank you! This is so wonderful. We all dream about meeting him and getting to ask him questions. Watching this, I feel as though I just did. However, I still wish I could meet him just so that I could say the two words ‘thank you’. What a true inspiration he is! Please wish him the best from all of us. Congratulations to you, too, for a great interview.

I'll never forget that day in June 1986 when I was up close to the Celtics trucks in the victory parade. Parish was looking really strong, and Ainge was busy talking to someone. McHale was giving fives to the crowd and I got one. Larry was there with both hands in the air and his girlfriend was by his side. Larry gave us many happy hours in Boston. I drove down with my brother from New Hampshire for the parade.

Thanks Larry Bird for the memories to last forever your a legend of the game for sure, and arguably the best player to ever lace up a set of shoes I love to watch you shoot the basketball, but your game winners I could watch all day and not get tired of seeing them thanks to that coach back at Indiana State who didn't give up on you or we all may have missed this unbelievable unpresedented career amazing 😮 thanks who all made this possible Larry your my hero

Great interview. I've watched just about every Larry Bird video and seeing something new along with his perspective today in reflection of his era was really great.
