The thing about the Atlanta bench is that those dudes already got torched by bird with him talking and heard him calling some of the shots from the bench. Antwon carr actually started the game with 2 big dunks
Magic was dead serious when he said that he loved and respected and admired Larry Bird… see you when everybody else turned their back on on magic when he was first diagnosed Larry didn’t…. The very first press conference after it was announced. Larry said he didn’t wanna play the game anymore because he was more worried about magic and his life. ☮️❤️🙏🌎🌍🌏🇺🇸❤️☮️
Enjoyed your reaction 😊 For me Larry Bird's trash talking, either broke a player down, or forced an opponent to be a better player, & it was the strength of the player, which way they were affected.......that was just a part of who Bird was 😊
The night they were making high fives was his sixty point game. And it would have been a 63 point one, but for some reason that one shot he made and then fell in the trainers lap was not counted. Loved seeing that pass he made while he was in college. He was doing the crazy passes long before he reached the pros, just like Magic did and at that time, early on, they hadn't really heard about each other. Love going down the Larry Bird rabbit hole. Thank you.
I remember hearing about that shot he made where he called "off the glass, into the trainer". Allegedly, he was cooking the other team so bad that one of the guys said listen, I've got some fouls to burn, so I'll just take a foul to stop him. Larry went to take that shot and the defender bumped him, but Larry still shot it, and while it was in the air, he yelled out "MONEY!" and it still went in. So all the guys fell off the bench laughing because they tried to foul him on purpose and it still didn't matter.
Larry called his shots out like he was sh**ting a game of pool. He could do it all and he did time and time again !!! He was a pleasure to watch. He made the game fun. His talent was otherworldly. Larry Bird #1.
Larry trash talked to the great "Dr J" all game long just before Dr J retired... saying to Dr J and his team that *_"Dr J needed to retire!"_* Dr J got so pissed off, he started a fist fight with Bird... it is insane to watch. I think that was the *only* fist fight that Dr J was ever involved with. Larry would throw fists 5 or 6 times during his career... maybe more.
I'm a sucker for old sports film. Bird was mos def a one of a kind special athlete. He endured a lot of actual pain to play. His right hand was messed up before he ever played an NBA game. Two Achilles tendon operations, right cheek fracture, orbital displacement, (* he wore goggles for a few games after his eye was popped out of his head, I believe was when he sneezed). His back was broken from shoveling gravel in his mom's driveway. His back was so bad, often he had to have the doctor unlock his spine and set it so he could play. There's no one like that today. He got paid well for playing a game he'd probably played for free. Yeaah, he knew that money was coming and the bonuses were pretty good incentives.
Jordan was *0 in 6* against Larry in the Playoffs and in one of those Playoff games, Michael scored *63 points* and the Bulls *STILL* lost against the Celtics. Larry even *smoked the Bulls* with Jordan *and* Pippen on the team together. I think the Bulls only won 1 game against the Celtics with Larry on the team during the late 80s and early 1990s.
First time reaction to you very much enjoy your realization of greatness... By the way when magic was discussing the game that he was hurt... I've seen that I was 20 and the '80s back in the day... If I can find it I'll get it dude he's clowning fools it was like one Harlem Globetrotter or it was like a pro basketball player playing against high school boys it was insane!
I like the way Ewing describes how the Bird thing happened to him. Simple , honest , and in your face about it. THIS is what people dont understand...people (i cant believe i'm say'n this , but..) Kobe. He just dont get it either. THIS is the paradox.....People complain about some1 being faster than they are. ( Worthy ,Fastest 1st step in modern NBA). But , it is NOT about being faster , it is about adjusting to the speed of the player your facing. Both of you can go slower , but your not geared to go slower as faster is better , ya? WRONG. One person is adjusting to the other. Faster or slower , it is THAT DIFFERENCE , that you need to adjust to. John Sally , a pretty smart man , imo , tells it about as close as you can get....saying...(You had to adjust to his speed).
While attending college Larry's team was playing mine and we heard they had a future all American on their team. So during warm ups we tried to guess which black player he was! Well we were wrong and he beat our league champion team and set our arena scoring record! Peace from Northern Michigan!
My favorite player was iverson but Larry bird is the best all around player to step in the court. Putting up those numbers in that era with back injuries the last half of his career and still trash talking and calling shots that whole time is insane and unmatched.
☘️ Larry Legend I've heard that THE Laker, Jerry West, was sitting by the Laker bench during that game that Magic mentioned. The one when Bird told Magic he'd put on a show for him. I recently saw a short that quoted West's comments after that game. I'll see if I can find the link.
ua-cam.com/users/shortsZFKqN0Wvy-U?si=wyb7sInVZNv2xZHA Jerry West ua-cam.com/users/shortsMFGYvojM7YI?si=EWcv3KzwXerQi1I5 Multiple opinions. Jerry West, Bill Fitch, etc.
Oh yeah I just saw this after I posted mine about that game yeah, he was like a Harlan Globetrotter clowning fools that whole game! Maybe together we can find the actual game highlights of that game because it's ridiculous
I think maybe you just had to be there. If you want to have fun and get the Birdgang to show up, react to Birdcis the word, 15 minutes of Larry Legend. It's mostly his early years, but it shows his hustle and heart.
The game the Atlanta Hawks bench got fined Larry had 60 points and said he was going to do it to the media a day or two before the game lol. Also he averaged over 10 rebounds the first 6 seasons of his career, plus was 1 steal away from a quadruple double in 3 quarters and sat the 4th. Dude was a cheat code 🤣
By the way... Best trash talking story in my opinion not just in basketball but of all time is the Jamal Mashburn story.. I'll try and find it I'll send it to you...ua-cam.com/video/io7sthOGGaU/v-deo.htmlsi=ZwPtANYJSqnhKTCC
Dude, Larry is the best Trash talker ever because he’s the only one to back his shit up!!!! And he did it against all the greats,…. Jordan, Pippen, Isaiah, magic, Kareem, worthy, Wilkins, Clyde the glide drexler, Ewing, Barkley, Rodman, Byran Scott, Gary Peyton and etc!!!! His the best all around player the league has ever seen, and yes, completely better than LeBron!!! He’s the Founding Father of the 50/40/90 club and the original best three point shooter before the three point line was brought in!!! Every player, even Jordan has taking his skills and incorporate them as their own, …. the step back, the fade away, the in traffic passing,… the 10-plus rebounds a game for his career, and did everything with a broken back and bad Achilles injury and foot problems for seven years from 1985 in the most physical era of defensive players and teams ever!!!!! He is above all according to the all the greats,… even Jordan has said that, and Magic!!!
The more I see these videos, I don't think he was less athletic than anybody, his showed in different ways. That half court shot he caught and shot while still in the air. Those full court passes, he was making full court passes in the air covered three guys,. How many times have seen him on his tippy toes falling off the court and put that ball all the way down the court and dudes did t have to break stride or reach for it. It's just a different kind of athletics. Diving for loose balls surrounded by guys and somehow hit guys right under the hoop for easy dunks. That passing re-edit video is where he showed true athleticism nobody really notices but athleticism is usually only noticed on scores, not passes. Jordan is my favorite all-time, that's who watched growing up and he was definitely entertaining. I really think Larry might be #1. Watch some full games and see what and why he's doing certain things off the ball. That saltine that doesn't exist. It will always e discussed and debated with no absolutes because it is all situational. How much fun would it be with a clear #1? It's the debates that keeps the ball moving. It's politics for guys that don't like politics.
Well, You saying how Mad You would be if Larry would have Talked that way to You, Well You just lost, He got into Your Head ha ha ha. Yes, They were Mad at Larry back then. They're only Laughing about it Years after They all retired. They all kinda Hated each other back then, But They all respected each Other's game playing.
No sport is the same anymore.. I love my football.. it's a joke anymore.. it's gonna be flag football soon I think.. The best part of this video is the end.. Magic and Larry.. great friends.. respect for each other on and off the court.. I saw one video.. when Magic found out he was HIV positive.. he called Larry and Larry stood by him. This was the 80's. Everyone was scared of HIV/Aides.. Larry stood by Magic. That tells me something about Larry Legend right there..
There are Goats from every decade since the game changes every decade. Larry is a Goat but he is the only one called a LEGEND! By the way Larry's record against Jordan: Regular season Larry 17 Jordan 11 , Playoffs Larry 6 Jordan 0. If Jordan never beat Larry then what do you call Larry....?
What’s crazy is Larry talked all that trash being the only white dude on the floor most of the time lol Most white dudes would be intimidated by that but not Larry Legend
Sorry young fella Larry Legend is the Goat mate the 1 and only. Show me any other player who's peers talk about him like this? When i say GOAT i mean the best all around player to ever play. Jordan is the greatest for other reasons same as Magic but if we are talking the best player who could even influence a game without playing well himself. Took a losing franchise and made it great, made hall of famers out of his teammates. That is the definition of GOAT mate.
Are you kidding... I've watched Larry Legend videos.. trash talking.. on the court.. you're saying Kevin G would talk trash about your family... Hell No.... that's wrong. you don't go there... Wow
I love that he played the game like he was at the park with the homies.
He reminds me of that uncle at a family get together just clowning on the kids. Usually just the kind of stuff that only works on the kids.
Larry Legend and Magic saved the NBA 2 goats 🐐 ❤❤
The thing about the Atlanta bench is that those dudes already got torched by bird with him talking and heard him calling some of the shots from the bench. Antwon carr actually started the game with 2 big dunks
During the 3-point contest, when Bird was shooting with his warmup jacket on, Jordan said if you think that's good, wait until he takes his top off!
Magic was dead serious when he said that he loved and respected and admired Larry Bird… see you when everybody else turned their back on on magic when he was first diagnosed Larry didn’t…. The very first press conference after it was announced. Larry said he didn’t wanna play the game anymore because he was more worried about magic and his life.

Let's be honest, you're about to realize Larry legend is the GOAT

Great reaction. Perhaps you can react to some of Bird's historic and iconic games.
Larry called his shots out like he was sh**ting a game of pool. He could do it all and he did time and time again !!! He was a pleasure to watch. He made the game fun. His talent was otherworldly. Larry Bird #1.

You're right, trash talking is a lost art
Bird is what you call The Honorable Mention in the goat conversation. Mj is the goat, Bird is the guy who continuously impressed the goat.
Larry beat Michael. When Mike was in God mode!
Stop...
M J never beat larry .
So does make him 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
You should watch a Courtship of Rivals with Larry and Magic. Amazing documentary.
Rumor has it that LeFlop calls his flops..
Great job with the video!!!

"Disrespectful"? If you want to be respected...stop him.
When Bird & Magic came to the NBA, the games were being shown tape delayed. NONE of them had the 3pt line H.S., College or the NBA🤯
Great react video. Good job.
De answer? Yes. Next question. 🤣🤣🤣
My 🐐 is MJ 1. 2. LB, 3, Kobe, 4, Magic
I like the way Ewing describes how the Bird thing happened to him. Simple , honest , and in your face about it. THIS is what people dont understand...people (i cant believe i'm say'n this , but..) Kobe. He just dont get it either.
THIS is the paradox.....People complain about some1 being faster than they are. ( Worthy ,Fastest 1st step in modern NBA). But , it is NOT about being faster , it is about adjusting to the speed of the player your facing. Both of you can go slower , but your not geared to go slower as faster is better , ya? WRONG. One person is adjusting to the other. Faster or slower , it is THAT DIFFERENCE , that you need to adjust to.
John Sally , a pretty smart man , imo , tells it about as close as you can get....saying...(You had to adjust to his speed).
Even the cheerleaders talked trash right in the middle of the court. Or on the sidelines at a football game.
While attending college Larry's team was playing mine and we heard they had a future all American on their team. So during warm ups we tried to guess which black player he was! Well we were wrong and he beat our league champion team and set our arena scoring record! Peace from Northern Michigan!
My favorite player was iverson but Larry bird is the best all around player to step in the court. Putting up those numbers in that era with back injuries the last half of his career and still trash talking and calling shots that whole time is insane and unmatched.
Bro if someone said you’re so bad that they don’t wanna play anymore and actually took a turnover that would probably haunt me for life 😂😂

Oh yeah I just saw this after I posted mine about that game yeah, he was like a Harlan Globetrotter clowning fools that whole game! Maybe together we can find the actual game highlights of that game because it's ridiculous
Larry said in a interview; "The black man is the best athlete in the world and I always wanted to play against the best!" He was serious!
T.T.T.T. = Top Tier Trash Talking. BUT Larry Legend could back it up.
Larry's trash talking is really more like prognosticating
tnks from brazil! larry= chip one in my land

Of you haven't already you should watch the video that highlights his passing skills.
Already did it’s on my channel
@@MJTalented93 Yes I saw it after watching this.
Look at Greens face lol. He is all about that shit

A lot of 'trash talkers' give it out AFTER the play, Bird did it before.
By the way... Best trash talking story in my opinion not just in basketball but of all time is the Jamal Mashburn story.. I'll try and find it I'll send it to you...ua-cam.com/video/io7sthOGGaU/v-deo.htmlsi=ZwPtANYJSqnhKTCC
larry= Heart Of a Lion
Larry was a different kind of player
Larry Bird is one of only three players to win three consecutive MVP awards the other two are Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain
Lots of goats, only one legend!
Every love each other lime hest friends no reveals
Bird got momma personal...ask Craig Ehlo

Im 53..Jordan and Bird are the two best I've ever seen..lebron isn't even close to those guys..and others who were highly skilled competitors.
Well, You saying how Mad You would be if Larry would have Talked that way to You, Well You just lost, He got into Your Head ha ha ha. Yes, They were Mad at Larry back then. They're only Laughing about it Years after They all retired. They all kinda Hated each other back then, But They all respected each Other's game playing.
talking about trash talking, don't forget the glove...GP was one of the best talking trash.
Don't know why Dominique said Bird would drop the ball and take a turn over, it never happened!
Jordan never beat Bird. The bench celebrating Bird was that was the game Bird busted 60 points
Players are not allowed to trash talk, and they have more space to shoot
💯
Now a days if you trash talk you would get a technical
Funny thing Jordon never beat Larry in the playoffs
You forgetting MJ
No sport is the same anymore.. I love my football.. it's a joke anymore.. it's gonna be flag football soon I think.. The best part of this video is the end..

Bird had a great team when he beat jordan..team full of hall of famers..Jordan had zero all star teammates.
Maybe in basketball, but all time in all situations? I doubt it. Hitler talked trash a lot more.
What’s crazy is Larry talked all that trash being the only white dude on the floor most of the time lol Most white dudes would be intimidated by that but not Larry Legend
The woke NBA today... please... bunch of boys... and in the 80's... NBA stood for no boys allowed

Find the video. 10 facts that prove LB is the goat

Are you kidding... I've watched Larry Legend videos.. trash talking.. on the court.. you're saying Kevin G would talk trash about your family... Hell No.... that's wrong. you don't go there... Wow
You talk too much
Go watch the regular video 🤷🏾♂️
For it was written unto Moses how one must do videos, order pizza, and vote?
