That buzzer beater vs Phoenix is the famous “I told you so” story. He told Phoenix “Yeah, I’m fixing to bust a 3 on you guys and go home, I’m tired of this”. He caught the pass right in front of the Phoenix bench, hits an absolutely SICK buzzer beater , then points at the the Suns bench and says “I told you so”.

[@y2jtopgun]

That was cold blooded!

[@misqeenwoodworker3984]

And i just found out in this video that he's high fiving the phoenix player. Why hasn't anyone mentioned that before?

[@michaelamaki]

@@misqeenwoodworker3984 it was the end of the game. Buzzer beater

[@cindyknudson2715]

I heard recently that DJ was on the Suns during this game. Yup. #24

[@BST-lm4po]

Bird was very ambidextrous! He was constantly switching hands to score on his drives to the hoop.

[@surewhynot6040]

If you want someone taking the last shot to win the game, pick MJ. If you want someone taking the last shot to save your life, pick Bird.

[@alcipta4920]

ok pat riley😂

[@rredeyee2460]

Well technically MJ choose Kerr to take the last shot

[@brucecurtis6910]

I’d definitely pick Larry Bird to help me in a fight for my life. He had the absolute dog in him.

[@isuckatlife7841]

IGUODALA

[@TreesMcgee]

Had to screenshot that comment to send to my dad. His ol 1980s ass appreciated it 😊

[@chosenwon5618]

Larry Legend is the best there ever was, is, or will be!!

[@WildernessDude2024]

The thing that I'm sure we all loved about Larry bird? He would trash talk like mofo, then teams realized he wasn't trash talking. He was gonna kick your ass and he did it too everybody. Nobody can ever doubt that of Larry Bird.

[@bignasty1876]

It's always amazing to see how fluid he was in shooting the ball. For a guy that big,it was like watching poetry in motion, a ballerina if you will. Only other player that had the same quick feet was Hakeem Olajuwan.

[@scottfisher2278]

Exactly. Also, for good measure, Magic.

[@Eli-from-Boston.]

He is the best to ever put a Jersey on !! Period ! If you could only seen him every night! You would make noises you never made before

[@paulmkz]

Bird is that dude

[@zeppelinmexicano]

This is a great collection of highlights that shows off the passing ability as well as shooting ability. He also made a lot of great plays inside the paint that few people ever mention.

[@renerodriguez181]

Larry Bird was magic!

[@sagecrockett693]

Those fast thinking plays are so rare.

[@guzakaro]

Bird&Jokic

[@scottthoma5817]

I’ve never seen this one. What a treat.

[@historia9275]

I've never seen that bounce pass at 2:36. That should be on all of his highlight reels.

[@robertjohnson8938]

Legend

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

The greatest

[@frankdascoli709]

That long lefty lead bounce pass! Damn! I’ve never seen that before, abs I thought I have seen it all when it comes to LB

[@markbaileycimarron-memoria3446]

legend

[@thomasdauphin4550]

That dude was a monster..

[@b.m.8547]

Incredible.

[@BigZoFarnham]

The Best

[@oscar1748]

0:29 swweeet move! 😳🔥

[@raypratt-bw9ib]

At :56 that was LARRY LEGENDS switching of the hands for the lay in,without leaving BOTH feet of course!!But friggin AWESOME none the less!!😂

[@kenvanetten7025]

Greatest instincts!

[@ShaminBholaIIloveCarolek-ju3dr]

I loved that game

[@rosselliswilkinson]

The real Goat Larry Joe Bird

[@tropicalpalmtree]

I dont follow this sport, but this guy is an absolute beast. The athleticism is incredible.

[@bobdavis3357]

He was incredible

[@maryruggiero2884]

Absolutely love these Bird videos!! Thanks!! imho, Larry Legend is the GOAT.

[@impasse0124]

I’ve seen that passing highlight at 0:22 before but never that clearly. That was crazy 😮

[@user-qv7vt4mr7e]

literally basketball genius

[@kiddetroit8403]

Larry did the old come into the paint and the backwards alley-oop

[@mostdoperubar554]

Bird was cold blooded

[@guzakaro]

same as Jokic, isn' it?

[@joshtuk]

@@guzakaroLarry was a better defender than Joker

[@papyandrea]

Robert parish ,larry bird... Anni che guardavo l nba... Gioco aggressivo e dove mettevano anima e corpo per vincere... che partite spettacolari❤

[@wildestcowboy2668]

Mane had passes fo sho He had some skills mane

[@bobdavis3357]

Nikola makes Bird look quick!

[@silviojosemaria8891]

Jogava muito basquete.genio.

[@irishgrl]

0:13! 😮 1:05! 3 pointer, at the buzzer!

[@eamonkelley3811]

Bird for a solid 10 years was what Mike Trout was in baseball for 10 years just does everything to perfection. A pure 5 tool player.

[@sharreaf]

He really was cold

[@sickotwist9802]

Agile!quick big man with every basketball skill imaginable!👍

[@Gchang54]

Larry was NICE

[@TheDotransporter]

Bird, Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe

[@bparker86]

Jordan after magic???!!!! Cmon man

[@nicholasvandal6948]

In Boston…papi with runners on Tommy with 2 minutes, BERGY in the slot, and LARRY at the buzzer

[@serrielu8025]

Love the assist from Quinn to Ainge. 😂

[@Curly34584]

NO ONE BETTER!! I MEAN NO ONE!!!!!

[@samuelchaparro9066]

L.A. #32 WAS MAGICIAN!! BOS.#33 WAS TECHNICIAN!! LETS GO TANK!!

[@rexfoster9629]

Bird is the Word!

[@staz8999]

I’d like to preface this by saying that I played basketball in NYC in an all black high school and got my nick name from the brothers playing at The Cage and at Rucker Park. We were all trying to emulate what Larry bird was doing on the playground and it was impossible for us. However, I remember hearing what Pat Riley said, “If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I’d choose Michael Jordan, but if I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I’d take Larry Bird."

[@kamabokogonpachiro6099]

0:22 bruh what

[@mattt7006]

🐐

[@danielburke1990]

It’s weird seeing DJ playing against Bird (1:28)

[@gracewithouttears3687]

His passing skills equaled his shooting and driving skills. He definitely played for the team advantage, not needing to keep all the glory of baskets to himself.

[@Death...]

Celtics jersey never looked so beautiful 🥺❤️

[@kiddetroit8403]

That was a left-handed three-pointer

[@The-Dom]

He may not have been able to fly like MJ, but dont let anybody ever say he wasnt athletic. Larry Legend did things with a 2" vertical that shouldn't be possible.

[@mitchelll3879]

How anyone can say Curru is the greatest shooter is beyond me.. Curry shoots long shots..he can pass it some..and honestly not alot else

[@cedarpoplar]

Bird gave being a cowboy a whole new name. There, I said it. Yes I did.

[@FBIforreal152]

Top 5 all time Fight me.

[@FBIforreal152]

@Andy Butler hahaha I'm w you bro! No fight needed!

[@bparker86]

Bird was and is the undisputed champion. LeBron couldn't cone close on Larry's worst day and lebrons BEST day present or future. Larry bird is and was and will always be the king. The best player in the NBA HANDS DOWN

[@projectx5154]

Top 1

[@BeastMohan]

Luka literally did this 0:50 in the playoffs when he had passed to Lively. In my opinion, people can say Edwards is the next coming of MJ if they want. But if that’s the case, Luka is the next coming of Larry Bird.

[@hughkingsley8631]

That play at 0:51 was absolutely sick.

[@garljoens]

did he literally bounce it off of the opponent's fingertips lol

[@oscar1748]

0:29

[@kiddetroit8403]

Behind the back move from French Lick Indiana😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@joelluongo7419]

Man.. Robert Parish Finished Off Every Single Insane Larry Bird Pass!

[@derrickbroesch8653]

28 in vertical. Every home in French Lick Indiana has pictures of him hanging higher than his vertical.

[@mitchelll3879]

Magic never seen an easy pass he couldn't about screw up hot dogging..Magic had a better overall career numbers wise but Bird was the superior player, shooter, passer, everything Other than Jordan, he is second pick on any all time team.. perhaps the greatest basketball player ever

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Larry Joe Bird (West Baden Springs, Indiana, 07 de diciembre de 1956) es un exjugador de baloncesto estadounidense que disputó 13 temporadas en la NBA, todas ellas con los Boston Celtics, con los que consiguió tres campeonatos: 1981, 1984 y 1986. Con una estatura de 2,06 metros, es considerado por muchos como el mejor alero en la historia de la NBA​ y una de las más grandes figuras del baloncesto mundial. 67 AÑOS. (68)

[@foxfire1112]

Bird is filthy

[@user-eh5gz7pg7j]

Humanity is entering a turbulent new era, unprecedented in both Earth and Human history. To survive the coming centuries and fulfill our potential as a species, ...

[@SKF358]

It's not fair!!!

[@cindyknudson2715]

0:17 On the floor for that shot or just close to the floor?

[@paulmcquerry6815]

Look, Jordan is the absolute GOAT. But if you can give Bird all that he had and give him Jordan's athleticism, I would have to give the edge to Bird. He really is that close to Jordan.

[@olivergrensemann]

Larry Bird is above Jordan in my opinion. He was a better shooter, a far better passer, a better rebounder, minimum equal at freethows and clutchier than MJ. On top he was the best trash talker ever. Added to all this he swept him twice in the playoffs. I cannot see MJ above him.

[@bparker86]

Michael Jordan is better than bird in zero ways. Bird is the GOAT hands down. Jordan himself admits that bird was the GOAT. Still does.

[@pbody4080]

2:37

[@kiddetroit8403]

Give it the bird in the corner😂😂😂

[@claudiotestaverde9094]

The bigger

[@Unknowngfyjoh]

Too bad there's no statistic for "really cool pass".... It just goes down as an assist.

[@projectx5154]

So classy. Not like those other thugs

[@MagicJacket]

Bird didn't need to shoot the shot starting at 1:01. Celts were already up and had the ball. Great shot though. LOL

[@willyrockbags738]

The score was showing wrong. His team was down by 1 so he did need to hit it. You can hear the announcer say they win 103 - 101 right after he hits the 3

[@adamquiles2468]

No wonder he's called Larry Bird he played like a bird after all

[@thacryinggame]

Now imagine him with the modern nba cam. This guy would look like he’s cheating. Come on now you gotta admit this guy’s insane

[@monty1109]

Compared to the league now this is normal no offense

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Larry Bird is the baddest white dude to have ever white duded.

[@mikemontgomery7337]

And people say James is the goat ??

[@rogerrabbit8756]

Larry would smoke lebron, change my mind.

[@vernonhurley1300]

Anyone here so damn tired of hearing that bird was unathletic?
