The Best Larry Bird COMEBACK Story Ever Told

[@gailshepard-cook6350]

RIP Bill Walton, You Will Be Remembered.

[@MsTdougherty]

He was a great player and a great guy!

[@insanusmaximus2857]

One of the best things about watching those Celtics was Bill Walton's sheer joy at playing with such a great team. The man had a tragically short career, and he's gone far too soon, but he savored every moment that he had.

[@Davivd2]

Micahel, Kobe, and Larry. The most savage players this league has ever seen. Larry Legend was the real deal.

[@Hatedvarii]

Larry talked more shit and backed it up tho😅

[@MichaelPiz]

Don't forget Wilt.

[@BroomeBlocker4]

[@Loydstardeli2017]

Larry johnson would've ate a 🐦 sandwich & ate 🐦 🐦‍⬛ 🦜 soup 🍲, & score 40s points playing against Larry bird, rik smit 7 foot 4inches would've been Larry bird nightmare & migraine headache

I have heard this story before, but not edited as well as this. My compliments to the video maker. Bill Walton truly is a great story teller. Magic Johnson is really good too.

[@myfrestuff3453]

Thank you Bill Walton, for blessing us all on this Earth with the awesome gift of your life, and always leaving wherever you went better than you found it! R.I.P.

[@JeffChambers-yf4sd]

Well said, @myfrestuff3453

[@danwesson1934]

I did not realize what a treasure Bill Walton was..... I can still remember watching NBA games on Sunday with Bill Walton as the announcer, he was a great at many things.

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Fake progressive

[@usx06240]

I met him late one night in Munich. I saw a 7 foot redhead walking through the Hofbrauhaus. I followed him out, and said "Bill Walton?" He turned around and "Hey. What's up" walked off into the darkness. I always wondered where he was going.

[@DeeDee-y9n]

Larry Bird was Legendary...G O A T

[@elnach3240]

Back when the NBA was good.

[@kenbrown1440]

Your productions are the finest on basketball anywhere. The commentary, editing and seemless story telling is unmatched. Thank you.

[@rafehr1378]

Gone. Bill won't be forgotten.

[@cindyknudson2715]

EXCELLENT Video!! Thank you so much! Love everything about it. Brought a tear of joy to my eye. What a great story. Thank you for encapsulating, contextualizing and spotlighting this. Walton wrapped it up perfectly with his comment at the end. I can't wait to save and recommend this. Well done. ☘️ Larry Legend

[@kermitefrog64]

It was fun to watch Bill Walton's enthusiasm as he recalled those games. I was glued to those games watching the best team ever. Larry's basketball prowess was like watching a Grand Champion chess player as he would surgically take opposing teams apart. Bill Walton's passing skills for a big man were fun to watch as it was a duel between Bird and Walton as to who would come up with the best pass.

[@zeppelinmexicano]

I don't remember the win over the Hawks, but I'm sure old Hawks fans do. Wooof, that a dagger in the back. What a team the Cs had. The passing between Bird and Walton was surreal. Talk about high IQ guys.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

Shout out to Bill Walton ! A good guy, great player, better teammate & cheerleader & spokesman for Celtic pride. R.I.P. !

[@Noname-ni1dy]

Best team ever. Without question.

[@BirdTrump3324]

So TRUE, that was the greatest team EVER

[@scottcarr1534]

To the content creator. - I haven't watched a ball game in YEARS... PLEASE more content. - You need to be FAMOUS! - SHARE this content! Can't remember the last time I binge watched anything!

[@billf1766]

Thank you bill walton It was players like you that made me Glad I was from boston And got to see you play. You are the real deal on and off the court lovey, brother. Hope to see you on the other side. God bless

[@TheRazor666777]

Rip is peace Bill Walton I grew up watching you will never forget your NBA career and championships

[@whitelfner4582]

Legend!

[@_brandonn8516]

I love this channel.

[@b-r-i-a-n-s]

The narration is excellent! Full of respect & intensity. Love these Prime Larry Bird videos. Thank you for the time put into these!!!

[@josephhiggins7216]

Best NBA team I ever saw. The best basketball team was the 1992 Dream Team. The best part for me was Larry and Magic playing with each other instead of against.

[@christopherinman3241]

Very nice send off!!

[@petepatel6822]

Superb video and what a player big bill was.ever since I moved to Portland big bills been my fave player.he might be a lil goofy but what a bloody player he was

[@jcwelch5603]

Just listen from 8:50 to 9:55 and U will see why Bill Walton was one of the greatest NBA storytellers!! He KNEW how to tell a story! I can't not stop listening to him!! Legendary...

[@tomroach6275]

It was great to see Bill Walton be healthy enough to play for the Celtics. When Walton and Larry played together is was magical. Larry was my P.E. assistant when I was a nerdy little 8th grader and Larry was a Sr. at Springs Valley High School in French Lick, In. Yes, I am a "Hick From French Lick". There is a NEW book about Larry's high school years titled "As If By Magic" which is in reference of the transition Larry went through between his Jr. and Senior year. As a Jr. Larry was a 6ft 2" guard 15 ppg. When Larry walked back onto the court his Sr. year he was 6ft 7" averaged over 33 ppg, over 20 rebounds his passing and ball handling were unlike anything "we" as in the "Hick's of French Lick" had ever seen. Larry was deadly from deep in the corner and keep in mind there was no 3 point line. The book "As If By Magic" is written by author Randy Mills. It is obvious Mills did a lot of serious research. Interviews with not only Larry's teammates, coaches, friends Larry played with at the French Lick and West Baden outdoor parks with. He(Mills) even interviewed some of Larry's biggest rivals in high school. Amazing stories. Box scores, news stories from several newspapers and photos I have never seen before. Larry was blessed with family, friends, teachers, coaches and towns people who believed in him. This is the BEST Larry Bird book I've ever read. You can find it on Amazon, Barns and Noble and just about anywhere books are sold.

[@scottcarr1534]

Look up GOAT in the dictionary. - Bird's picture and THE definition of - GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

❤️ bill Walton my hero,

[@slanderman3296]

Will Balton is my hero...

[@usx06240]

Such a cool guy, who always talked up every other player, whether teammate or opponent. He had no ego. Bird is like that, too.

[@geraldcharles1624]

Great story,

Atl always blowing leads.

[@tgwoolshire]

What about the 50 point margin come back that was a few years before that???? I was there and played before the Hawks in highschool.

[@TheRazor666777]

Bird Bird Bird Bird who is that brother 😂

[@philiptangatue]

Bill just made one mistake. Theus didn’t play for Atlanta until 1988-89

[@williambarr3551]

Better than the 1972 Lakers maybe second best, 33 game win streak among other accomplishments. Maybe MJ a Chicago Bulls team was as good as the Lakers.

[@ruminator3570]

I hold K C Jones in higher regard as a coach than I do bob Knight..... by miles.

[@erablaktv]

Bill Walton lol "they had Reggie theus" lol theus played one season for the Hawks in 88-89 season 😂 theus wasn't there in 1986 and Walton never played him lol they didn't get theus until 2 years later and Walton was retired

[@dannym248]

Larry Bird was an amazing player, but Magic was just a little better. Magic played all 5 positions, and Bird could dominate, but you can't say anyone was a better "all-around" player than Magic!

[@chabookproductions6997]

I can't, but Magic could. He admitted Bird was better

[@maxpruger837]

Except Bird was a better scorer, rebounder and defensive player than Magic. Magic was great but he got to play with another arguable 🐐 for almost his entire career. Legend > Magic

[@Loydstardeli2017]

Pete maravich call Larry bird a poor dribbler,, how about Larry bird on defense??? Laugh laugh, larry johnson, just miss Larry bird by one season Larry johnson would've ate a broken back 🐦 sandwich & 🐦 🍲 soup

[@_1ben]

J.J. Riddick was correct Bird=overrated

[@kennethsonia5350]

Clearly you have no idea of the game. Only idiots say that Bird was overrated.

[@_1ben]

@kennethsonia5350 yes, J.J. was right, he said Bird couldn't make today's European league, JJ. Truth

[@scottwingate3712]

You can't call bird overrated if you can't guard him

[@Loydstardeli2017]
