FIRST TIME WATCHING LARRY BIRD | Larry Bird ULTIMATE Mixtape!!

[@SakuraShirakawa]

The relationship between Larry and Magic is what defines the difference between Enemies and Rivals. Rivals respect each other and push each other to be better. You can be great friends and still be rivals because at the end of the day, you leave it on the court and keep the respect.

Best white boy hell, in my opinion he has one of the three best arguments ever as being the goat. That is if you listen and then study your players and really recognize what they have done. MJ, Kareem and Bird top three all time

[@philmullineaux5405]

He won 3 MVP in a row... against showtime Lakers, against the bad boy Pistons, Jordans Bulls, Ewing's Knicks, Drexlers Portland, , Xavier's Seattle, Wilkes' Atlanta, Robinsons Spurs, Barkley's Philadelphia, and Olajuwans' Rockets. 3 in a row. He won the 3 point contest, in his warmup jacket! He dropped 27 on Portland playing the entire game left handed! After 3 days of his rookie camp, he said out loud, on court, this league is nothing...I will dominate this league!! U just watched the real GOAT.

[@raveouscarlias4479]

Bird isn't just the best White guy to play basketball, he's the greatest Small Forward to ever play. He's my #2 pick behind Jordan all time. Then Magic, then Wilt. Not sure who I take next because it doesn't matter with that team. PF is either Duncan, Barkley, KG etc. PF is easily the hardest position to pick. But Jordan, Bird and Magic are no brainers.

Well Bird is obviously the best white guy to ever play, but he’s also in the top 5 players to ever play in the NBA. The Celtics were 29-53 in ‘78-‘79. Bird’s rookie season, ‘79-‘80, they went 61-21. The next season they won 62 games. The next season, 63 games. The Celtics were 663-237 (!!) all time with Larry Bird; they were 91-78 when he didn’t play. In the playoffs, 99-65 with Bird, 5-7 without him. Bird averaged 24.3 pts, 10.0 rebounds, and 6.3 assists for his CAREER. Until Jokic, no other player had ever averaged even TWENTY, ten and six for their career.

That's just a taste of Larry's play. You literally could not stop him from scoring...including being double teamed by MJ and Pippen, 7'4" Ralph Sampson, Kareem, Olajuwan, Dominique, etc. He averaged more rebounds than Patrick Ewing, was a phenom at passing, the king of trash talking, and an assassin at clutch shooting. Top 3 player of all time, right there.

[@andybilakshow260]

Wilt, Bird, Russel I think is close. I know Larry had a strong sense for the game. I haven't watched enough of Russel to know where his mind was at so he gets 3rd. Wilt, his mind was as strong as he was physically. So I'm on the fence between him & Larry for first.

[@rustydaboyrobot]

@@andybilakshow260 There are a few NBA greats that think Wilt is the best player ever and won't brook a debate. 😊

[@Nimbus1701]

No joke...... would LOVE to watch a prime and "HEALTHY" Larry Bird dismantle and disgrace today's NBA. He'd very realistically average a quadruple/double every game while even pushing Curry for tops in field goal and free throw percentages. Young folks don't know..... but Bird was a very bad man and you definitely did not want to see his Celtics in the playoffs. That guy was no joke and easily had the talent to destroy today's league, but his body failed him. There's a story when he coached the Pacers, not long after he hand underwent a shoulder or back surgery and was out at the shoot around when they were in the playoffs and rhe story goes that Bird..... a recently surgical repaired Bird hit about 20 shot sin a row from varying distances as the Pacers were prepping to play the Bulls. Knowing Bird..... I straight 💯 believe that story.

[@irishgrl]

Yeah, the players jaws were on the floor & they didn’t even want to practice after that! To top it off, Larry did all that in a suit & tie, & walked off after like it was nothing 😂

[@aaronz9410]

Larry's mind is what made him next level. He knew what to do and when to do it. You didn't know if he was going to shoot, pass, or what the hell he was going to do. He could drain it being double teamed with a couple of hands in his face, he could pass it, or he could fake it, you just never knew. I grew up as a Jordan fan and in that era, but watching things like this makes me realize that Bird was next level, simply because of his mind. One of only 3 players to win 3 straight MVS, a coach of the year, then won an exectuive of the year (the only person ever to win all three), that shows his basketball genius.

[@robgelfand2414]

Ok , I am going to explain lots about Bird here that you need to know and why Bird is the best all-around player of all time. First - even before Bird started his NBA career he broke the index finger and shattered the knuckle on his shooting hand and he said he never shot as well after that. He can't straighten it and the knuckle is hideous. Second - Birds affect on the Celtics was immediate. The year before Bird played for the Celtics, the Celtics were 29-53. With Bird being the only significant change to Boston's roster, the Celtics record in Bird's first year was 61-21. Third - Bird won Rookie of the Year and came in 4th in the MVP voting his rookie year. This is where Bird placed in the MVP voting the next 8 years - 2,2,2,1,1,1,3,2, becoming only the 3rd player in NBA history(Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell are the other 2) to win 3 straight MVPs Fourth- Bird founded the 50-40-90 club, which is 50% or more field goal percentage, 40% or more 3-pt field goal percentage and 90% or more free throw percentage. There are only 9 players in NBA history who have accomplished this and only 2 who have done it more than once. Bird did it in back to back seasons and Steve Nash did it 3 times in a row(4 times overall). Fifth - in games Bird played in, his team won 73.58% of the time, only 2nd to Magic at 73.95% Sixth - even after the Celtics got McHale, Parish, Ainge and Dennis Johnson, Bird still made a huge difference - how huge, the Celtics record in the 87-88 season was 57-25. In the 88-89 season Bird only played in 6 games and had surgery for bone spurs on both feet, the Celtics record that years was 42-40. Seventh - his overall statistics - He's not the best shooter ever He's not the best rebounder ever He's not the best scorer ever What he is is a complete player and is in the top 250 NBA players of all time in these 8 categories Field goal % Free Throw % Points per game Assists per game Rebounds per game Steals per game Blocks per game Minutes per game Lebron isn't, Jordan isn't, Steph isn't, Kobe isn't, Durant isn't Dirk isn't, Magic isn't, Kareem isn't, Wilt isn't, Bill Russell isn't, and the list goes on and on. Bird is in the top 60 players of all time in 6 of the 8 categories. And last there are the things he did that I don't so anyone else doing. He played most of a game shooting with his off-hand just because he wanted to. Time after time in big spots he would tell the other team what the play was and where he would shoot from , before the play even started He knew where all players on the court were at all times. Additionally, Bird accomplished all this while playing hurt his entire career, the worst of it playing with a bad back after, get this, shoveling gravel while building a driveway at his mothers house. If Bird was breathing and could move he was playing

[@irishgrl]

😁

[@rmcclain124]

Great summary, but you forgot one other stat. Top 10 in beers consumed the night before. On away games, he'd drink locals under the table, get into the occasional bar fight, and then drop 30 on their team the next day! Legend! 😄 The dude was about as old skool and blue collar as it gets. I couldn't even imagine how much of a BEAST he would've been with modern day medicine/treatment and had he put more into physical training/therapy.

[@xsjado_anon]

If his back was better he'd have the best winning % ever, if he had Magic's team he'd be ahead by miles. If their 1987 draft pick didn't die (Len Bias) he'd have the record, and a few more rings to go with it. If I had a time machine I'd drop a 20yr old bird in 2020 and watch him turn Luka "magic" into Luka "eh that was alright i guess". Joker won MVP the last 2 years, and I'd argue bird is a more athletic version of everything that makes Joker great, with a more manic competitiveness as well.

Larry Bird wasn't the most athletic player. Not even close. He didn't put up staggering career numbers. He wasn't a dunk machine. He wasn't a phenomenal defender. What Larry Bird did was elevate his TEAM. Bird was the best all-around player in the history of the NBA. He got his teammates involved and took a middle-of the pack team IMMEDIATELY deep into the playoff picture. Bird was an All-Star every single season of his career except for the year he only played 6 games because of surgeries on both feet. He won the league MVP award 3 consecutive years. He is only the 3rd player in league history to pull that off. He won the 3-point shootout the first 3 consecutive years. I could go on for hours, but all of this is readily researchable. The sheer number of his feats is STAGGERING. He LITERALLY did something every single game that would make you throw something in disbelief.

Ya I thought it was a travel too! This was my era. You would be so psyched about the playoffs that you were willing to take your life in your hands cuz there was no air conditioning in the garden. Worth it.

Should see Larry Bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit. AMAZING. You won't regret it. IQ and vision of the charts. Thank you for the great reaction. Also Larry Bird trash talking is awesome video also.

[@lfcgero35]

Yeah his long passes are as accurate as f##k. His all round game is on point passing defending reading the game knows were everybody is at all times. Definitely top 5 all time in my humble opinion.

@@RjDixonTV Try his trashs talking video too all the legends talking about him. Making the case is another to try there is a few. Also check out white chocolate Jason Williams and Tom chambers. Top reaction pal slainte from ireland.

@@RjDixonTV Another gem is that Jordan never beat bird in the playoffs and had a record of 17 -11 against jordan too. I grew up watching bird and magic and it was their rivalry that saved basketball in the 1980s.
