You really need to understand how Bird grew up and learned the game. Dirt poor and playing with brothers behind a restaurant he was washing dishes at.
I remember reading that he learned to talk and his high release jumper from the older black employees at the hotel he worked at in high school.
According to Larry’s own words from “Bird & Magic: A Courtship of Rivals”, he started playing against the brothers at the restaurant after school his 6th grade year. These grown men would let an 11-12 year old white kid fresh out of his classes for the day join them on the basketball court and teach him how to outsmart older and bigger players.
He learned his streetball fake-outs and crazier passing skills from them, while also getting rock-solid grounding in fundamentals from his formal school team coach in basketball season.
I wonder how many of those old waiters remember that little white boy who became a legendary superstar (they are probably in their late 70s and early 80s now , since Larry turns 68 this coming December …wow)
And they should be proud of themselves. I grew up about 50 miles from where Larry did. Grateful to have gotten to watch him play growing up on tv. I always rooted for him. 😂understood his mentality he used to beat them lol❤@@imweakfordeaky
Told the garbage man , I'll be back, and I'll be the boss
chillllll, he was born looking like a bird, he embraced the name.
Larry bird basketball IQ was off the charts!!
What is most telling about Bird is what other great NBA players say about him. You don't get that respect among GOATs unless you earn it.
I wasn't a bird fan, but im old enough to have watched him play. He was always the best player on the court
Away from the games, he would shoot until he knew he had any shots he needed. That's perfecting your confidence with your skills. 😂😂
Larry was damn near a psychologist the way he would get into people's heads.
He told the media he was gonna play a game left-handed, then dropped 27 in the first 3 quarters playing with his off hand. Letting the team know what he was gonna do the day before demoralized them all, that he didn't respect anyone on the entire team enough to guard him with his off hand.
The 3-point contest where he was still in his warm-ups, telling everyone "I just want to know who's gonna come in second", just to flex, is another example. He knew mind games could affect your physical game, and he did it like a supervillain.
What makes it special, is it wasn't just talk. He backed it up again and again. Get someone running their mouths and doesn't rise to the occasion to back it up, then that is a whole different feeling. If you actually do it, then it is less bragging or whatever, and more, just speaking truths.
All the great ones when the games on the line say,"GIVE ME THE DAMN BALL!" and there was none better at in the clutch than the BIRD!
I grew up watching him play, basketball was so different back then and it makes me happy that you recognize his talent
The 80's basketball with Bird and Magic were so special!
Bird would also use that lethal pump fake, get the defender in the air, tell them, '' Welcome to the parachute club,'' then hit the shot.
There’s a documentary about Larry and Magic, and how their lives intertwined, called “A courtship of rivals”. It’s a MUST watch for any basketball fan.
I only watch playoff NBA and I enjoyed that. Good call.
LB was just a different cat. Truly in the top tier of NBA elite players.
IMO- The 1980s were the NBA's best decade.
Watching the 85, 86, and 87 All-Star games will give you a good sample of how they played back then.
10:09 Xavier McDaniel was no slouch. He was a great BB player.
As a Canadian I prefer hockey, but I absolutely enjoyed the Celtics, Lakers rivalry of the 80s primary because of superstars like Bird and Magic. The putting a white guy on me was legendary and funny as hell. It was a shame that his career was cut short because of injuries, primarily his back. Love and respect, brother, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
As an American I prefer hockey myself since 1965. Never watch Basketball anymore.
What I loved to hear in later years.. the respect all these players had for Larry and especially Magic..
While attending CMU, Larry's team was playing ours and we heard they had a future all American. So during warm ups we tried to guess which black player he was, well we were wrong. He beat our league champion team and set our arena scoring record! I'm so glad you're enjoying watching larry legend. Peace from Northern Michigan.
Larry Bird is TOP 3 ALL TIME!!!
There are so many video's about Bird, what he told the other team and what other great players have said about him.
Even though there are all these videos, Bird is still underrated by most people.
Bird is in the top 3 players of all time and it could be argued that he is the best of all time.
Bird was just different.
How many stories are there about other NBA players telling the other team what they were going to do before it happened, even at crucial times during the game, and then went out and did what they said they would.
My fave reactor reacting to my fave baller. Gonna be a great weekend :)
I was 30 and living in Boston when Larry showed up. I got to watch him, at least on tube, all the time. It's all true.
Basketball was so different back then, it was so exciting watching Bird and the rest of those legends. I am so glad I got to watch it live. My team is the Milwaukee Bucks and they always got bounced from the playoffs by either the Celtics or the 76ers, but I loved it anyway 😉💯👍
React to more Larry. He always gets a lot of views and likes. People today just don't understand the caliber of killer Larry Bird was
Give it up to larry legend 👏 🙌 💪
I'm so thankful that I grew up during this era. There are some great players in today's game but the biggest difference is mental toughness. Bird. Jordan, Malone. Magic, Stockton. Etc would make today's players tap out from being inside their heads.
They made McDonald’s commercials with them calling their shots. I’m pretty sure it’s based on the Larry Bird trash talk
The infamous Dr J fight really started with Larry’s mouth. He kept running box score between the two. When it got to 38 Bird 6 for Dr J it was on.
Jordan said he learned trash talking from Bird. His #1 rule no Bull says a word to Bird not even ‘hi’
He kept calling Dr J an old man
Get this old man home. He’s through.etc. But yes, He scored 38!and Dr J scored 2
Charles Barkley tried to break it up. But since he was holding LB and no one was holding Erving
He was fined 5k. He funnily still says. The NBA owes me 5 Grand. Lol.
Great reaction Shon 😊 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 😊
I had the privilege to watch Bird and the Celtics what a great time!
6:54 Thats hilarious, i just watched highlights of Bird and noticed people on the other team freaking out and i watch this reaction and he explained it. So beautiful lol
There are other videos with even more Bird trash talking videos. In one of them, James Worthy tells the full story (that first story was a short version) and it's even funnier.
Larry was more a mental warrior than anything else. He pushed buttons😁
Nice reaction and not only was Larry the greatest trash talker the NBA has ever had he did it while playing with career ending injuries and cooking everyone. He was not only a great shooter but one of the greatest passers of all time.

Bird reminds me of being a kid having my dad tell me basketball stories... so great your watching. Thx Internet
Being able to tell someone exactly what he's going to do and they can't stop it is true goat lvl shhhh
Yeah Bird was different alright. I was a Celtics season tix holder from mid seventies until 1993 and believe me. I've seen it all! He was everything you just saw and more. Sadly most people don't know how great he was because he was all about the game and NOT blowing his own horn like so many second rate players do. ESPECIALLY today!
He was definitely underrated. Its one thing if you talk trash, but when you can back those words your spitting facts. Lol
Genuinely love your reaction vids. Actually refreshing to see someone not faking it and carrying on. You have an infectious smile and light :) Keep sharing it brother
People say you should not cash checks that your ass can't pay, well Larry cashes ever one of them GOAT!!
I miss the day's when basketball was trash talk and skill.
Nique had the best story imo. It's a mental game before it's physical.
Thanks for being a ray of sunshine on UA-cam.
This is just the beginning of the rabbit hole.. keep going hell be your top three
It's heartwarming that the younger generations want to look back and have some love and respect for this Golden Era of the NBA. The league play was old-skool with more physical play and the NBA had so many star players that had mega skills that still played with class and dignity. Coaches wore suits to games and the 3point shot wasn't a focus as it is today.
It was a game of fancy passing and positioning to post-up and break down the opposing defense. McHale's moves in the paint are legendary.
I was in grade school in the 80s and glad that I got to witness this era, and I now realize what I was watching then....was so great.
The rivalry between Magic and Bird, and their solid friendship, really set the bar to a whole new level, and those Finals between the Lakers and Celtics were amazing then.
Larry won three consecutive MVP’s in the days of Magic, Kareem, Dr. J, Moses Malone, Dominic Wilkins, Barkley, Malone……..
Wasn't there a story about him playing the whole game with his left hand only... that's my fav story
You could do a 3hr video of just his assist, and a 1hr video of his full court passes.
Bird, MJ, Kobe, Magic and Bill Russell all had that indomitable confidence and will to win
LEGENDS roamed the NBA Courts in the 80's.
This is great! He was my dad's favorite player. Now I'm learning why! ❤😂
Larry was a major problem on the court. His shot had such a high arc nobody could block it. I heard Kareem say if guys tried Larry would say "don't do that". And, I love the Geico commercial he's in now on tv. It's so funny.
The 2nd man doubling up on that shot against Xavier was Dominique.
He actually hit that shot 3 times, first to tie the game with the timeout called, inbounded and hit it again to actually tie the game then hit it again to win in overtime. Brutal. Watching Larry live was extraordinary, the real entertainment was not his shots but his playing out of the usual camera highlights, his tactics and positioning were unfair as he always had a defender glued to him plus a 2nd opponent’s player sagging to doubleteam backup therefore there was always a Celtic player unguarded, his biggest threat was when he didn’t have the ball
I saw a brief interview with his teammate/ Buddy McHale.
He said a lot of the things he were just to make the game fun for him because he was BORED
Trash talking got in peoples head but more importantly he was challenging himself.
The Amazing Hick from French Lick. My favorite of all time
Jordan NEVER beat BIRD. Sweep x 2. 😂
That's not entirely true. Jordan does have a few wins vs Bird in the regular season. But none in the playoffs, and Bird has a winning record over Jordan.
@cirrustate8674 season wins... not important wins. Actually, zero important wins. But u r correct. And I do put MJ above Bird. But I also see the brilliance of Birds game. Took a crap team on his shoulders to a place where most of the lineup were Allstars. Eventually, so did MJ..
@@JESSES_CURIOUSLY_CURIOUS I have Jordan above Bird as well, but just barely.
If the NBA ever establishes a "trash talking award" for players, it had better be called "The Bird!"
The "fly, bird" one, Brad doesn't quite tell the whole story. Not only did Larry say "fly, bird" to him, he hit him in the ass with the ball as he went by, before taking the shot.
The OG goat
They called him LEGEND while he was still playing!!!!!!
Great reaction, Shon! Thanks!
Kobe was Larry legends favorite player Kobe called Larry Legend Money ❤❤
My Jr. High and High School years were in the 1980's and grew up in the Chicago suburbs. I got to see Michael Jordon unleashing his power on the NBA but Larry Bird was my other favorite player. I feel that he is underrated by most basketball fans and he is one of the Greatest players. I bet he could still rock 3 pointers all day long.
I am lucky enough to have been there through the Bird/Magic years. The golden era of basketball.
Larry Bird was just different. Watching him play was really fun.
That man Larry Legend!!!
Dude, watch The Legends Tell Karry Bird Trash Talk Stories! Tree Rollins, James Worthy and Mashburn got 3 of my fav stories
how many players in history do you know that will not only tell you what they were gonna do but you were totally helpless to stop him?
that's why he's larry legend.
They called him Larry the legend before he even became a legend that's how legendary the man was he hit shots from behind the backboard
Missed the 3 point contest when he walked in and asked "so who's taking second?" Or when he played a whole game shooting with the opposite hand
What Brad always leaves out, regarding the "Fly Bird " situation:
Larry hit Daugherty with the ball on the buttocks as he flew by before sinking the shot.
I grew up a Knicks fan (I'm 66.) It got to the point when the Knicks played the Celtics, I wouldn't watch the game if it was on TV, because Bird would somehow do enough - passing, rebounding, scoring - to tun the win to Boston. I now wish I had watched, but he just used to piss me off/make me despair.
I love watching these. In prison dude was like I got white boy he ain't got no jumper. So I posted him up and did a fadeaway in his face and said get someone else.
MJ said Bird taught him how to trash talk. MJ also made it very clear to his teammates that they were NOT to talk to Larry no matter what. Like Dominique Wilkens said, " You don't wake up a sleeping giant."
Great reaction dude 😎. Bird was no joke thanks for sharing.
The fly bird comment. He also tapped him on his ass with the ball as he floated by
The Muhammad Ali of basketball... talking trash but backed it up. One of a kind guy.
#1 Wilt #2 MJ #3 Bird.
lol at being disrespectful to me by putting a white guy on me !!!😂😂
Top NBA career combined stats per game (pts, reb, ast, stl, blk) career fg%,tp%,ft%
1. Jordan 44.7 -50-33-84
2. Lebron 44.4 -51-35-73
3. Bird 43.1 -50-38-89
4. Kareem 42.9 -56-06-72
5. Durant 40.8 -50-38-88
Bird has the second highest game winning percentage right behind Magic (10 games off).
Larry is basketball! ❤️🇦🇺
love That clip of THE MAN LARRY BIRD my goat for the N.B.A...
OUTSTANDING
Absolutely love your reaction
Stone cold killer, that was Larry Bird. And everybody in the league ended up knowing it, one way or the other -- usually because he told them, then did it.
Larry was a Jedi.
There are more videos out there with even more trash talking stories from more pros. Pick any of them and I'll be watching your reaction. Some even crazier than these.
This guys mentor was Pete Maravich the guy who averaged 40 in college and got invited to the Harlem Globetrotters.
My all time fav UA-camr!😊
What’s crazy he hit a three to tie it. In first overtime he took that shot and coach called timeout. He made it again to end the game
Welcome to Birdland
That was great.
Next time you pump fake somebody, say fly bird
Larry Bird was a killer!
I'm 66 yo and loved Larry!
Larry Legend
Jordan admitted Bird was the only player he feared playing against. Larry never admitted fearing ANYONE on the court... B A S K E T B A L L J E S U S ! ! !
Larry was so svage that he played a game left handed because, well because he was Bird
Hey bro just want give ya some love from Ypsilanti, Michigan! Love your videos I think you have a wonderful career with basketball and doing these videos. Always smart to have something to fall back on to
God bless bro God bless the family!! Are you a big Cleveland fan I'm a die-hard Cavs fan. I'm praying that we get LeBron back when he could come retire at home. But we need some new blood in there one player I definitely do not want them to get rid of because I'm a Michigan man and that's my dude Caris LeVert!!! Is LeBron came back and they cut carrots and they could keep Donovan Mitchell and maybe get a couple bigs in there I'm telling you we would be dominating.
best channel and the best player , tnks from brazil, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
He was the Joker.....40 years ago🏀
