You're def right about the hugging buddy buddy of today's NBA. It's hurt the product. They make so much money and are friends where they won't be physical and it's become more of a show than tough BB competition. At least in the reg season.
Yea it’s annoying. It does ramp up a bit in the post season but by then people have stopped watching. I love the nba don’t get me wrong but something needs to change
Great reaction bro! Yes, please do Part two! That one picture where Bird and Dr. J. have the hands around each other's neck? Bird and Doc made a pact with each other. If anyone came up to them for an autograph, and handed them that pic, they refuse to sign it. To this day. Looking forward to the next part...
That’s amazing!!!! Great to hear! Thanks for sharing that. That is one of the most iconic photos ever! Thanks for watching and merry Christmas to you and yours! Part 2 should drop tonight!
That’s not what he said. He said he doesn’t enjoy seeing all black players lol. Sounds ignorant to me. Now if he had said that then it would be different but he didn’t lol. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for doing this one. I laughed when you said Larry you got no chance to get that ball. But he did it every time. He said he hated for a player to stand and watch a ball go out of bounds. Dang, I miss watching him play.
That part was so funny to me lol! Bird dove on the floor more than anyone ever! Watching Bird live would have been amazing! Merry Christmas to you and yours
When you said: "Damn, Larry was going through it!", I thought, wait two more minutes... I admire these two guys so much! Great humans! To have to go through all the struggles of that time and never to loose yourself, is amazing! Also their interviews were always respectful and they never fell for the attempts, to push them into doing/saying sth they don't agree on. And one without the other, would have never became as great, as they got with this rivalry! Have a good one! ✌🏻
I agree with you 1000%! They pushed each other in so many ways and the league too. I love seeing them today after everything they went through. And you’d think they hate each other but it’s all love and respect! Merry Christmas
@@CoachWizReacts Merry Christmas to you, too! This documentary is really, really good! The funny thing is, I have never watched a whole bb game in my life! But the docu is about being a decent human being, as much as about basketball, I would say ✌🏻
The greatest thing about this rivalry is the way Magic and Bird handled all the racist nonsense that was put in front of them . Both players are class act human beings and we should all look at these guys for inspiration and an example of how we should behave with respect toward one another!!!
I'll probably comment a bunch. The world, the NBA, everyone got lucky these two were born around the same time and were great at the same time. Too bad we only got to see them play together at the end in Barcelona. Had those two been allowed to be on one team at any point in their careers it wouldn't be what it is. But we do have that summer
i am 73 and this was by far the best basketball of my entire life!! Todays game is so boring. Get rid of the 3 point shot and make them pass the ball. So for Larry that trash talking went way back.
I enjoy all eras and I love seeing how much the game has changed and how advanced the players are. But at the same time I need some defense lol. Less 3s for sure
Tell French Lick to restore his court. I take my residents on drives, take them to his childhood home (remodeled this summer, a hoop on the garage) then the house he built for Georgia, the court he practiced on and shot the Converse ad with Magic. He broke his back there. The court is in disrepair, can be saved, they need pressured. Casino money flows there now.
Not sure if you're aware or even if you're a baseball fan, but Boston is historically known for being the last team in MLB to bridge the racial barrier.
Say bro great job , talking about getting a whipping, I'm Hispanic and me and my brothers would get jumped on,, my older and Igot jumped on by some older fellas, I was 12 my brother was 13, we were getting handled, he shouted go get dad,, for help , I'm crying because I don't wanna leave him alone,, I looked back and he was holding his own,, I remember dad telling us boys don't you dare turn your back on family or your gonna deal with me,, so I grew up in that era, me and magic same age.
I just ran across this video. I've seen the documentary as many times as I've seen Star Wars. I'm a Star Wars freak. And to get someone else's take on it? Ya. Today's game is too soft and friendly from back in the day. And I love basketball as much as I love Star Wars and Playing guitar. Rez hoops? They fall for the no look pass everytime. And I'll sell it. I won't even look at who I'm passing it to or even look to see them score. I hear them score and the reaction from the court. I ripped that off from this documentary. LOL. Awesome channel, for subscribed? Now I can finish all three parts and check out the other videos. My night is set.
Man I really appreciate your comment. Made my day. As long as you guys keep rocking with the channel I’ll keep making videos. Today’s game needs more defense…less 3s…more players who care about the fan experience. It’s getting out of control
The world has changed. The camps and the traveling teams. Tv, internet, distractions aplenty. Young poor kids were outside playing ball. One kind of ball or another. Working or playing. They didn’t choose their lives. Their lives chose them.
57 here, we lived that racial stuff, still happening but way different, So Indiana checking in. Huntingburg had a high ranking klansman as police chief. He didn't hide it either. Huntingburg had a black man run for Mayer last round, Republican. He lost but a step fwd
I really enjoy your reactions, that is why I watch your videos. But, I gotta say, every time that you become distracted by your family/pets, it definitely detracts from your content.
Just turn it around. Do u wanna watch an NBA of all White players? Context I was just out of high school. It was a hard time. I went to a Texas School. Me and my 5 sisters were Th no Lu white kids in our whole school. It was a Spanish speaking school. We were the only ones for 2 years. We never knew it. It was just school.
I’m just there to watch hoops. When you say you don’t like it because there’s too many blacks there where I’m lost lol. Say you wish you could find someone to identify with or anything else lol
30:55 A white guy says "I don't want to watch a team with ALL black players on it " and you say he's ignorant. But if a black guy said "I don't want to watch a team with ALL white players on it " it would be perfectly acceptable to say.🤔
@@CoachWizReacts I hope that's true. You got yer yikes off laughing when Cedric told that story about the "old black man" saying "Now, why would I root for those white boys?" But when the Boston guy said he didn't want to watch an ALL black team, you naturally assumed that he was "racist" 😑
Hey guys! Appreciate you guys watching the video! Here is part 2!

My opinion: This was the greatest rivalry between two individual athletes since Ali & Frasier.
Mmmm that’s a good one right there! Ali and Frazier was insane lol. Merry Christmas
FRAZIER - put some respect on Smokin Joe. One of the greatest.
Bird still had 19 points 13 boards and had a broken thumb. Made some great passes in that game with magic. Bird never made excuses.
He NEVER did. Love bird for that. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas. It wasn't just Larry fist fighting - it was almost everybody on the starting five
Yea they was about that life for sure. Especially parish lol
@@CoachWizReacts Parish looks so serious and ready to kick your ass, but he seems like a hilarious dude too. lol
Merry Christmas bro! This is an awesome documentary.
It’s pretty dope! Merry Christmas to you and yours
Great reaction bro! Yes, please do Part two!

Don't forget about the 92 Dream Team documentary!
Definitely working on it
I think that you'll find this to be one of the absolute best sports documentary ever made!
So far so good! Merry Christmas to you and yours
31:21 It wasn't ignorant. He was correct in a way.. It was the same problem but inverse in the NHL. You need players for fans to identify with.
That’s not what he said. He said he doesn’t enjoy seeing all black players lol. Sounds ignorant to me. Now if he had said that then it would be different but he didn’t lol. Merry Christmas
@@CoachWizReacts I would expect a guy that was black to say the same about the NHL at that time.
The NBA is predominantly black but majority of fans in the stands are white so that's not true. The dude in the video was just a bigot
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for doing this one. I laughed when you said Larry you got no chance to get that ball. But he did it every time. He said he hated for a player to stand and watch a ball go out of bounds. Dang, I miss watching him play.

RIP Greg Gumble
Merry Christmas Coach! Great video, I love the reaction and comments. Part 2 please. Thank you. Much love
Definitely going to drop part 2 tonight hopefully. If not tomorrow for sure. Merry Christmas and thank you for watching
Great reaction! I absolutely knew you were going to pause when Magic said going to the playboy mansion wasn't sexual 😂
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love Magic but……HE IS LYING 😂
When you said: "Damn, Larry was going through it!", I thought, wait two more minutes...
I admire these two guys so much! Great humans!

Too bad we only got to see them play together at the end in Barcelona. Had those two been allowed to be on one team at any point in their careers it wouldn't be what it is. But we do have that summer
I know imagine if we could have got that sooner or after. Especially if Larry would have been healthy. Still great to see
The documentary will talk about his father's suicide but he got married and divorced in college too. He didn't want to talk about it.
Rightfully so too

That’s crazy smh. They should restore it
I hope you watch pt 2
Same here brother, you don't want to deal with the old man, nebr works out
NEVER WORKS OUT LOL
Not sure if you're aware or even if you're a baseball fan, but Boston is historically known for being the last team in MLB to bridge the racial barrier.
No I’m not but that’s pretty crazy. I appreciate you sharing
How'd you like Larry and Dr J choking each other? LOL
I need that framed on my wall for sure lol! Once my gym gets finished I might have that in the background lol

Facts! My pops was the same way. He didn’t play and if we messed up he would literally take us in the back yard lol. Crazy times
Ty❤
Anytime
No hand checking since 2004 and defense is so so soft
For sure. I enjoyed the nba up until 2019…it’s been going down since then to me.
It was a different time
@@keithzatkalik5805 " went to a Celtics game and a Bruins game broke out"

Very well said! Nothing but facts
nothing is going to save the NBA now.
We need a team or a player to bring the vibe back
Are you asking that nickname question for just basketball ball or all sport?
We can do all sports
@@CoachWizReacts Cause I got Shoeless Joe Jackson The Great One for Gretzky for starters
Facts facts facts facts 💯 👏 👌
No lies told lol
if i cant fight my own fights alone...........then i need to stay out of them. duuuuh

Thank you and I’m glad you enjoy them and also thanks for letting me know that messed up the experience. I will try to tone it down. Thank you
Just turn it around. Do u wanna watch an NBA of all
White players? Context

Larry had all that anger from his life. Chip on his shoulder and life was a bitch. Someone had to pay .🤷🏻♀️
there is nobody to come close JORDAN 🐐 . MJ god lime bird said after that mj droped on his as. 63 pts
