I'm glad your ok and back Pzo I missed you 🐐💙🙏

[@PzoThePlug]

❤️

[@jasonbalonek2113]

I saw Larry Bird play against the pistons in 84. I was 14. That game was not professional basketball. It was straight street ball. If there was no blood, it was no foul.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

One of the best games ever!!!

[@arthurmadison3396]

I went to college in Boston in 1985..he was IMMEDIATELY my basketball hero! I lived there from 22 yrs..I saw him play many times. I NEVER took that for granted!❤️🤙

[@David-ip1ko]

Thanks!

[@Chris-kaiyabphotos]

His passing game was beyond legendary. Deep dive needed.

[@jimmeyer9106]

Yeah you nailed it. We don't hear all the upbeat encouraging stories about larry...he smashed everyone so hard with all the other stories, but he was a real inspiration and lift to his team mates when they might have had the worst game of their career...not enough of those stories, just because the other side of larry was unbelievable...I guarantee his team mates over the decades have stories of encouragement that we've never heard

[@monamaple9790]

❤ there are so many great people over the years that it's hard to pick but Larry Bird earned LEGEND for a reason ❤❤❤❤

[@aramhamparian9641]

"Larry gave me, he gave me fitty in three quarters" ~ Shawn Kemp "I want to let you know, there is only one man that can guard me, and that's God." ~ Robert Parish LMAO!! 😂😂😂😂 Giveaway!! Welcome back bro!!

[@tcme11]

50 😭

[@Ville-u8g]

The proof that Larry was the real deal, is that legends keep telling stories about him

[@xzkt]

If you want to know Larry’s biggest secrets find a video of him signing a contract or an autograph. Larry was left-handed. He learned to throw right-handed because his older brothers were all right-handed. They all loved baseball so Larry had to adapt using a right-handed glove. Larry trained himself to shoot better with his off hand than most do with their dominate hand. Every game I ever saw,Larry made left-handed passes and shots but it looks so natural it is easily missed. Usually his left-handed shots were midrange or closer. Imagine guarding a man that can shoot and pass with either hand.

[@timspeer5669]

He loved the lefty hook from the left side of the key. He was pretty close to full on ambidextrous.

[@Kneestonelight]

He never shot left handed...every single two handed shot he made in these videos was right handed. The only left handed shots he made were one handed. Show me one video of a two handed shot he has left handed...it doesn't exist. I've never seen one video of a step back fade away jumper left handed from bird....

[@timokk3]

@@Kneestonelight So what? The point is he could score with either hand depending on the situation.

[@pokerpat6470]

Welcome back Pzo, great job. I was fortunate enough to have seen the NBA in the 80s, greatest era in history. The era of the Superstars. Magic, Kareem, MJ, Nique, Glove, Stockton, Mailman, Kemp, Chambers, Dr J, Moses, Charles, Clyde, Patrick, Zeke, Hakeem, etc. Know what? Larry beat em' all. King of the 40/50/90 club. If I HAD to name a G.O.A.T. MJ #1, Bird #1A (sorry LeBron) LEGEND!!!! 🏀

[@irishgrl]

LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️

[@michellejackson6679]

What is truly the best legacy of Larry Legend.. is the other players that give him the respect.. That's amazing. Larry was different.. he earned his respect.. he talked trash ..but backed it up.. and never played dirty. Just a great Basketball Legend.

[@Kampyy531]

Larry asking the opposing coach “you got anyone on that bench that can guard me? Cause no one out here can” and the coach saying “no” will forever make me laugh.

[@donaldleider7382]

Lots of goats, only one legend!

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Bird was never a bragger......not his style. Lol Its so puzzling to me that these greats speak so highly of Bird but when people talk about the best they never put Bird in that convo!!! They called him Larry Legend for a reason! He should be in the top 10 convo....at least!!!

[@jackrussell1232]

There's something about Magic that is so chill. It's in how he speaks, how he looks, his attitude, everything. He radiates a kind of "old soul" type of wisdom; like he's had many more past lives than most of us. That guy could give me a pep talk on my way to the firing squad and I'd probably go, "You know what, you're right. I can find a silver lining in this."

[@bridgethockney2303]

Thanks! For our gift from you!

[@PzoThePlug]

MUCH LOVE!! STAY TUNED BRIDGET

[@braddicken6776]

i'm 55 years old so i got to see Larry play. I think he could dominate in todays leauge. He was one of the real ones

[@Luke89Cash]

Love your reactions my friend! I highly recommend Larry Bird 85-86 highlights. And remember that it's one year, not his full career. There will always be another player that gets put in the "GOAT" class, but their will always be only 1 Legend. Larry Joe Bird

[@stephenreiner1523]

I remember when Larry came into the game and I was a Knicks fan until I started watching Bird and I couldn't believe how this player was just dominating, didn't matter if he was white or black or freaking red. This dude was just different. Oh yeah he made you think he was stupid. Uh-huh he was that good because he was very very smart.

[@garyfusco2252]

Growing up in Boston and my father being a season ticket holder that was the greatest tool my father had in discipline in me if my grades weren't up to par no game if i wasn't doing my school work up to his standards and take away a game and it made me so mad but it was the right thing to do.. i got to watch birds whole career 41 times a season at home plus the playoffs and it was the greatest experience of my life thank you very much larry legend

[@cliffniiranen1044]

new sub Legend dude was ridiculous

[@Nomah1979]

I was born Larry's rookie year so I really only remember the last 5 years of his career or so as he retired when I was 13. I do have a Larry Bird story though. In the late 80s, I went to a Cs game with the Cub Scouts as our end of the year trip. During shoot around before the game there was a rookie F named Kevin Gamble for the Cs working on his jump shot. He shot one from about the free throw line that bounced off the front of the rim as it was going in and all you hear is Larry Bird saying " Hey Kevin, you can get 2 basketballs through that hoop at the same time so there is no reason why you should be touching the rim at all" not the greatest story ever but it was funny to me as a kid

[@NagelLisa]

Jersey. Nice to have you back. Love your reactions.

[@PzoThePlug]

Stay Tuned for it!

[@picolo4102]

86 celtics tribute: a beautiful game. Its team passing

[@SharonBird-b9f]

I loved that Pzo I'm glad your back 👍🙏🐐🐐💙💙

[@mikes3827]

Dude, good get and good commentary on Larry Legend. Most of these clips I've seen (but never get old watching), but a few I hadn't seen, so thanks for that. As a very young kid growing up in a suburb about 10 mins from Boston proper, Larry hit the scene from Day 1 w the Celtics and let even the veterans know who was boss. TREMENDOUS confidence in his game. Not in an arrogant way, but Larry said a couple vets tried to do some hazing on him early during his rookie season, and Bird said to the whole team he wasn't having ANY of it. And not one of the vets said boo to Larry afterward LOL. Larry's only downfall was he was ULTRA-competitive, and because he trained and played soooo hard, his body wore out on him. BOTH achilles, his notorious low back for multiple years (and for one year near the end of his career forced him to "live" in a body half cast when he wasn't playing because his back was soooo badly injured). He even had a seriously disfigured index finger from a NASTY softball injury sustained while playing with his brother, who got sick when he saw Larry's finger. Bird said because of that finger injury, he wasn't as good a shooter for the rest of his career LOLOL.. Scary! But for a period during the mid 80s, many bball pundits were calling Bird the GOAT, while still in his prime, before all the injuries hit, while he was in the midst of 3 straight league MVPs ('84-86). A baaaaaaad boy he was.

[@SharonBird-b9f]

Pzo back

[@moldlives]

Giveaway? You’re the man. I like how you break things down in your reactions. 🍻

[@monamaple9790]

😂😂 chia pet 😂😂

[@ALEXMorrisJr]

Whaaat, I want a Larry Bird jersey

[@dowth3]

Giveaway. Congrats on the subscribers! First time seeing one of your videos and I just subscribed. I appreciate hearing what coaches and Magic say about LB. There's one moment in the Lakers-Celtics championship (I believe it was 1984) at the Forum where LB and Magic fist bump. There's a still shot of it (LB's back to camera and Magic facing it). I'd love to know the context for that gesture mid-game! It seems pretty significant. Love their relationship. Thanks for considering and again, CONGRATS on 25K!

[@Mainegirl79]

So glad to see you back

[@MLMJon]

That was fun. You captured a lot. Thanks.

[@RoofDoctorsJoanne]

I was a die hard Sixers fan as a kid & hated the Celtics and Larry Bird! But I absolutely love hearing all these old Bird stories!

[@davidnoel2977]

When Bird hit Brad Daugherty on the butt with the ball before he shot the three he also said " fly bird " to Brad 😂😂😂

[@johnvogel2270]

Great vid thanks for reacting yes watched all the way to the end i like your reactions and comments pause and or comment as you want i got your back with anyone who doesnt care for it

[@SharonBird-b9f]

We Larry Legend fans love you Pzo ,

[@ricklove8588]

I had the privilege of watching Birds entire career and was a Bird super fan in the day. I was just shy of my teens when he was drafted so I got to watch him throughout my teens and early 20s

[@bebedenham362]

I was a newbie 20 yr old when Larry Joe & Magic entered the League, Larry always had a lil surprise for opposing teams who ain't never met him. lol I'm glad you're back and ok.🤗

[@bigmike2464]

Larry Bird saw no color and Prime Bird was unstoppable; GOAT of the Small Forward Position. Reggie Idolized Bird and the fact that he played against him, but then was coached by him, was a iiteral dream

[@Johnfmckinnon420]

He said he was born in the early eighties. He would have seen the end of Birds career at the age of 8 to 10.

[@SharonBird-b9f]

I missed you Pzo , hope your feeling good ❤

[@johnman8647]

Nicky. Gotta love him.😂

[@lrsrosebud]

Glad to see you back and healing!

[@revinanthonydagcuta4533]

The man in the white shirt is Rod Strickland. One of the great PG's of the 1990's I believe.

[@stephenreiner1523]

When Larry came into the league I was a Knicks fan. The first time I saw Larry play I was like what? That's when I started taping Celtics games.

[@timbeatty8411]

That's the way Kenny wore his hair the whole time he was in the NBA

[@GregNewkirk-o8h]

The greatest small forward of all time by far

[@ALEXMorrisJr]

Your doing a great job

[@Denver10215]

Nice vid .. I'm 55 born in 1969 . . Cooper flagg . Be 1st pick next year . That boy dude bout to take the nets 2 next lvl

[@stephendavis75]

Love people that never saw Larry play can’t deny

[@timlinj]

I have heard that Larry’s picture is the only white dude in a black barbershop.

[@kathieovercash8414]

Glad you've recovered well. Larry is the best!

[@junechrisman3407]

Nolan Richardsons' story is my favorite too

[@bridgethockney2303]

We missed you!!! Ummm giveaway? Yes please!

[@PzoThePlug]

Check Next Video Tmr !!

[@danielmcgraw7908]

You listen to the stories, but do you notice the size of the grins on the faces of these men as the tell their "Larry did this on me story"?

[@DanoSeer]

It would be totally racist if Larry said something negative about an African American player and probably been kicked of the team. But because the situation was reversed, someone it is a joke? Disgusting. One think I hate is sickening hypocrisy. Aren't we all supposed to be brothers?

[@brendawalters3728]

He didn't say INTO the trainer's lap, even though that version is more fun. What he actually said was trainers lap, it didn't mean he would fall into the trainers' lap, but he was going to make the shot, from where the trainer was sitting. which was a 3-pointer. once again telling the opposition what he was going to do, then do it.

[@PzoThePlug]

It just keeps getting better with Larry

[@canadianaf]

​@PzoThePlug Thanks for your reaction. As easy as it is to love Larry now (which I do), it was equally easy to hate him back in the day if you weren't a Celtics fan. It was hard to watch this smart-ass constantly kick the crap out of your favourite teams. I couldn't fully appreciate Larry until he retired and was no longer a threat. Lol.

[@brendawalters3728]

welcome back, you were missed.

[@MoxieMike66]

Larry played against black guys in HS on the street courts, and he was happy they would let him play.

[@Denver10215]

Yezzir .. Larry and Alex English my 2 fav players .

[@donnyburg8117]

Larry is why 2k has a green light

[@bebedenham362]

Yo....hope ya healed up good :)

[@georgemccormick4786]

Followed him through his career. He was slim, but, after his double achilles and his second back surgeries, he missed all but six games in the 88-89 season. And, he said himself that he'd eat wedding cakes, because, nobody would fuck up a wedding cake. Sooooo.

[@bosshogg6653]

Strickland was a beast!

[@ChrisFerand-vw5gd]

There was another Boston Celtics player pistol Pete maravich

[@DankRy23]

52:41 he said early 80s if you rewind 10 sec so probably caught a few games of Bird. I was born late 80s so I managed to catch a few of Jordan's best games but sadly not Larry although my father is his biggest fan 😂

[@oldmanballer5088]

Supposedly Bird trash talked Dr.J everytime he’d score he call what he had and what Dr J had when Bird said 38 to 6 you should retire now. That’s what set him off.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Give Away! 😁❤

[@PzoThePlug]

!!

[@GregNewkirk-o8h]

If you feel Maxwell comments were racist Think about this. Larry said It was disrespectful to put a white man on him because the best players were black

[@sharonsimmons6427]

That’s not racist, it was just facts. Lol! 🤣😂

[@pawelgorniak8550]

Sean David didnt say he was born in late 80's, he said he was born in early 80's. I believe 1983

[@michellejackson6679]

I'm cracking up so far.. 10 minutes in.. I can tell your from the south.. Y'all would get an ass whooping by Larry Legend. Over my knee. LMAO..

[@bug-lf4sg]

I was born 1964 and I'm a Knicks fan. I saw waaaay to much of Larry Bird. Always killed us. The only who who did us worse was Jordan.

[@joshnoel3760]

he said early 80s bubby :)

[@RobtheTerrible]

Larry was far more disrespectful in that Dr J game. Check out Club Shay Shay with Charles Barkley

[@timokk3]

Actually, Sean said he was born in the early eighties. Otherwise, a great reaction.

[@cliffniiranen1044]

Twirl Rod Strickland

[@Denver10215]

Who scored most points in 1980s? Alex English !!

[@MikeD0162]

Knicks fan here. I hated Bird but respected the dude. He could play. I remember him frequently torching the Knicks. Sorry but he's my goat. Sorry Michael, I just hate him a little more.

[@lunaticfringe7741]

🍿🥨🥤 😜‼️☘️ P.s. glad You're back & recovered.

[@chudwickmt]

He said early 80’s, not late 80’s

[@pawelgorniak8550]

you asked if we know who that guy who Larry called a 'piece of s...' was. Easy, its Rod Strickland, played Knicks, Bullets, Blazers and Raptors

[@timostransky468]

These are mostly black basketball players who freaked him

[@yambo59]

One video that doesnt get enough play is a great Celtics teamwork/passing video called - "86 Celtics Tribute, The beautiful Game" - youll see some really sweet team work and passing, really great video a must see.

[@charlesdavis7461]

Watch Pete Maravich and Wilt Chamberlain

[@jimmeyer9106]

HA I love how you pointed out that this man born in the 80s, probably never saw a live larry bird game...i was born in 1980...i don't remember any game with larry...my childhood was sports..as a kid I can say the names considered the goats, were Jordan, tyson, and Montana...that's the limits of my childhood memories, and Montana quickly shifted to Steve young for nfl goats...nba in my earliest memories was Jordan by a long shot, then shaq, and Kobe took over...it all changed...as an 80s kid I never heard about larry, besides old stories...it definitely wasn't something I witnessed.

[@steeltrap3800]

52:28 in fact he said he was born in the EARLY 80s, so if that was '82 for example then he'd have been 9-10 years old for Larry's final two seasons; he COULD have seen him even if he doesn't remember it all that well. Easy mistake to have made. Cheers

[@rmcfete]

I can’t shut up

[@ALEXMorrisJr]

It's a different generation youngster, it was still black and white. It's not today's game bro. This was in the 80s foo

[@StormyPeak]

On KZbin search , (I would link it, but I don't think KZbin likes links in the comment's section). Copy and past this: Clippers mascot tries to disturb Larry Bird with women posters The opposing team's fans, decided tp try to distract Larry. when he shot some free throws. Larry did pause- looked at the posters of the beautiful women, smiled and it even looked like he said 'Thanks" lol. I can't recall if I saw that game live on t.v, or just the sports highlights on tv. later that day, but I recall laughing out loud at both the cleverness of the fans and at Larry, enjoying the distraction.
