The Best Larry Bird TRASH TALK Story Ever Told

"There will never… ever… EVER… be another Larry Bird" -Magic Johnson

[@SHARKVADERS]

There's no one like Larry Bird...Nobody.

[@scottoliver-dv1th]

Black or white.....

[@terencetillman9166]

​@@scottoliver-dv1ththe league nbl/baa/nba was all caucasian upon a time, until the arrival of Wat Misaka, Earl Loyd, Chuck Cooper, Nat Clifton, 1st black allstar Don Barksdale, so yea, black born american players clearly dominate in basketball, and or course the hick from frenchlick is a 1 of kind legend, like in the Black Cat, Mr. William Felton Russell Dream Olajuwon, Magic, Black Mamba, Chef Curry, etc, and like the Jerry Lucas's, the Bob Petit's, George Mikan's, the Dave Cowen's, Tom Chambers should and belongs in the Naismith 🏀 HOF

[@MAGA-kv1nj]

For my money Bird is (still) the greatest SF to ever play the game... his trash-talking was unequalled, and the ice in his veins was matched only by Jordan. In a word: Legend.

[@countrygirl7402]

Larry Bird became Larry Legend. He accomplished things no other player ever has. Or likely ever will. No one can compare. No one can measure up.

[@tomroach6275]

Great video. I went to school with Larry at Springs Valley in French Lick, Indiana. Watching Larry go from 15ppg as a 6ft 2" guard his Jr. year to a 6ft 7" Sr. playing forward but could handle the ball like a guard, throw baseball passes off a defensive rebound, o his favorite target, "Beezer" Carnes at the opposite end of the court so precise, "Beezer" didn't have to dribble, just catch and lay it up. Oh, and Larry averaged 31ppg & 21 rebounds per game. Having Larry as my P.E. Assistant taking shots 30 ft away while bouncing on a trampoline, keeping me from getting into trouble in class (that's another story), Larry play and the entire Springs Valley Blackhawks team in 1974 was priceless. The only thing that sucks is I'm that much older now but at least I was around when all the Great Rock Bands and Larry Bird played.

[@MsTdougherty]

I love watching these Larry bird clips. It reminds me of how great he was.

[@malasartes6262]

The one true Goat!

[@michellejackson6679]

Truthfully though.. black men couldn't guard him either... Larry the Legend was unstoppable. in the 80's

[@newerafrican]

Great job! I’ve watched all the LB vids and this is as good as they get. Thanks!

[@sugarnads]

There will never ever EVER be another Larry Bird.

[@drummer8by2]

Magic's statement at his retirement night... I was there that night...

[@SODAK2276]

No doubt. But there will be plenty more labronica james

[@frankcastle1216]

​@drummer8by2 that's freaking awesome! 👍

[@GlupShitto05]

The greatest basketball player of all time

[@Hatedvarii]

Could be a argument for him tho

[@joaocervi115]

I'm Brazilian, so I really admire the hall of fame Oscar Schmidt, and for him the G.O.A.T is Larry Bird!!! So I can't say nothing different...

[@mikewhite6288]

Absolutely

[@megsjacobsen]

Larry bird is top three all time

[@Steve-wo7gt]

There's only one Larry Bird.

[@michellejackson6679]

Not trash talking when you can back it up.. not arrogance when you can back it up.. Confidence in your game.. knowing your ability

[@JL-qo7cs]

Larry is my favorite.

[@Oldscule62]

It's only trash when you can't back it up. 😂

[@ruminator3570]

Why is Larry not considered in the GOAT convo? Why do people think that he would not be as effective in any era post his retirement if he was in his prime? Why, what, why???

[@ldybozz]

3:32 34pts, 13 rebounds & 13 assists!!! Wow 💜💜your channel!!! #birdgang 🍀🐐💚

[@user-vn2ii6mu9g]

Key and Peele do a great mockumentary of Bird Vs Magic. Funny as hell.

[@roderickbowman7622]

Dude never missed!

[@futurefox635]

I swear it was like 10:00 AM this morning, sitting in my office wondering to myself when Prime Larry Bird would post again.

[@tomasgarcia-fk8dw]

999oooooo9ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo99ooooooooo

[@roderickbowman7622]

I love The 🐦 . He will never be matched.

[@shawntucker9283]

I feel bad for Chambers, guy never gets his flowers. There can be only one LB

[@charlesacaranci9039]

Massachusetts has been very lucky to have bird , orr , marciano brady

[@reidwithoutacause]

I love this Channel, glad you posted again

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

When Kareem would talk about Larry, he ALWAYS pointed out that it was Larry's MIND that let him dominate. Or something like point at the head and talk about "the muscle in here". And also sometimes about Larry's never-stopping motor "he may have been a chubby white guy, but he wore us out". Worthy has made similar comments when discussing why he preferred to guard JORDAN over guarding Bird.

[@davidgeissler8620]

Tom Tolbert that is funny 😅

[@guycarlos3169]

I'm getting the ball.

[@PeteS-ht1wc]

Luka and Joker are modern day Larry Birds-big, slower, great passer and triple doubler, score from anywhere with high percentage, and always a play or two ahead of everybody else.

[@jackson5781]

Bird loves Joker

[@twinwankel]

I hate watching the NBA now. The stuff they pass for professional basketball is a joke. Bird dominated in the 80's in what even the League considers the golden age. It was all downhill from there. I love this channel and wish you would post more videos. The fans now have no appreciation of what real basketball was. I'm so glad I witnessed it and Bird's glorious reign. He will always be the GOAT and all others are just wannabes.

[@sedlyholmes3722]

Luka is 1980-1983 Bird Jokic is 1984-1988 Bird

[@paulazzar8936]

Larry GOAT Bird

[@huandru]

Good editing. Nice video.

[@deboriginal220]

Lol Luca has entered the chat 🤣

[@roderickbowman7622]

He dirted the bros too.

[@gailshepard-cook6350]

I Love Your Video's.

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

2:18 Almost true - but the only person he ever stopped talking trash too was Dr. J - and that was AFTER 2 or 3 of the Doctor's teammates HELD HIM in a fight. Sir Charles - you might have been trying to break it up, but that's not what ended up happening AND YOU KNOW IT.

[@hughbennett5342]

Black guys couldn't cover him either! Lol

[@tgbedini]

He once said, "Michael Cooper is the only guy who can shut me down." The Celtics-Lakers rivalry with Bird and Magic was one of the best eras of any sport.

[@hughbennett5342]

@@tgbedini Absolutely!

[@douglaspearson4853]

I was never into Basketball. I am a short white guy who can't jump. I just stated to get into basketball because of Caitlin Clark and the game is get me interested. But I really enjoyed the story and it was very funny. Glad that everybody was laughing.

[@roderickbowman7622]

When Bird was hot,foreget it,game over.

[@Harikarikillboy]

Can’t wait to see comments with haters talkin smack. The thing is there’s no guessing. We saw, heard, paid attention and cheered for him back in the day NO MATTER YOUR TEAM. I was amazing his battles with the GREATS. Winning most of those grudge matches with the Dr, Wilt and best of all kicking laimbeers a$$. There’s no team, no players since then that can match what the players of this era did. I remember when he signed the largest contract in the NBA, it was around 3.2 million (not sure exact #) and it was more money than we could fathom at the time, may as well been 3 billion lmmfao. It felt like that at the time anyways. I grew up in south Louisiana, and when I say everybody rooted for Larry legend, there were more green Celtics jerseys than in Boston. Dr J, Wilt, Larry, MJ (I’m adding Kobe to it, he played them and I think we can all agree he had the same drive if not more) and the greats from that era played BALL. It was hockey on hardwood and the players were TOUGH AS NAILS. There’s no modern era player that can match the personalities, talent and sheer guts of them. I’m very happy I was able to watch those games as they were played.

[@joeblow2069]

I do not like constantly harping on color but it is true. Larry Bird considered it an insult when teams would try to guard him with another white guy and he made them pay for it.

[@josephalberttreyes5968]

Bird is a Merc

[@norrisjames747]

White...Colored...red,...never ever underestimate anything..ITS JUST REALITY...MEEYOW

#GREATESTHOOPSCHANNELEVER I mean that, too!!!! Larry Fricking Bird in De House! Thanks dude.

[@larrytaylor3048]

Tom chambers played bird well

[@garretttiedje3994]

Reincarnated? Larry isn't dead he just retired.

[@benperritt415]

Tolbert played good d but what can you do ? Lol

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

4:23 And after his time at IU and the abuse he took while there from Benson, Bird LOVED to destroy Benson in games.

[@JAKPM]

Late 80’s Celtics, the only team to put 5 white guys on the floor.

[@MacroMark1]

All jump shots. Great player, but Chambers was pretty good, too.

[@kikilaker6698]

He was obv moreso a skilled shooter - one of the greatest from range

[@The-Bladeslinger]

I got Larry Bird legend over Ramon James all day everyday!!!!

[@realasadoughnut]

At least Chambers had one of the all time most ridiculous dunks where his head was at the the friggin rim. But ya, not even close to Birds status.

[@budgibson185]

Larry is Larry… ALL THESE DUDES TODAY ARE SOFT

[@norrisjames747]

It's TRUE. SORRY

[@terrydavis2936]

Sorry but Magic owned Bird. For ten years Magic 3 Birds thugs 1.

[@verbalkint3447]

Larry Bird was the greatest player we’ve ever seen until MJ came into his own. Nobody has come close with the exception of Hakeem Olajuwon, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. Close but not Bird. Bird and MJ have a surreal clutch gene. No player comes close after that. Bird is still #2 and nothing has changed since Bird retired. Lebron is a fraud and would look very similar to these white guys in this video if he had to guard Larry Legend. Y’all better recognize

[@tonymario8118]

Yes there is, it's THR GREAT PISTOL PETE MARAVITCH WAS THE BEST !!!!!!! "****EVER***," !!!!! IF YOUR NOT SURE, ASK "GOOGLE"!?!

[@MrTerrrrible]

Sadly, Bird is left wing and woke. A black player would never hate on his own people.

[@RayzeCruxis]

What does politics have to do with anything about his skill?

[@scottoliver-dv1th]

​@RayzeCruxis no,Bird is the truth and right down the middle

[@RayzeCruxis]

@scottoliver-dv1th ah I meant it as when ppl use the person in questions political views to put down skill

[@dougamundson6836]

Oh, gee. Trash talk. That sure makes a player great. If Bird had been black, we wouldn't hear much about him.

[@RayzeCruxis]

What about legends like MJ, Dr. J, Barkley, Chamberlin and many more just praising how dominant he was on the court?

[@dougamundson6836]

@@RayzeCruxis Do you think it is JUST possible that they wanted a white guy to bump up the league? I sure do.

[@RayzeCruxis]

@dougamundson6836 you're looking for race when race has nothing to do with skill. If these guys are talking about the damage he did then there's some merit to there words otherwise you are being a race baiter trying to push an agenda.
