This is when the players actually played in the all star game , both teams wanted to when , you can see they are playing defense back then , seems like they took pride in just playing the game ,
Younger people don't realize what Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did for the NBA. In the years just before 1980 NBA playoff games were tape delayed broadcast because viewership was so low and NBA franchises were being sold for pennies on the dollar. The NBA's rating were lower than the NHL. By the time Larry and Magic met in the NBA Finals it was a National Event every bit as big as the Super Bowl.
Might come off wrong. But magic talks different around different people. In HS he was in a desegregated school. Doesn't bug me. Just an observation. He adapts to his audience. And loves having that audience. Thx magic 4 what u bird n mj did 4 us.
It has to be said also that Pistol was at the end of his career with bad knees and injuries that were slowing him down by then and his retirement was already planned - but still.
Pete was going to retire anyway..... it was already in the plans! LOL. I'm pretty sure Larry was frustrated and angry about the way ish was going down the court. So.... when he felt like Pete was criticizing him.... he lashed out.
@@BU_TV but I really like your videos when I see that Kevin McHale’s reaction to be honest I already like getting hyped haha much luv man I am a big Kevin McHale fan
Toughest , grittiest ,

And the fact that Pete was one of Birds biggest inspirations as a young baller just didn't matter, got to love that

Larry Bird has a hell of a arm! He would have excelled in any sport he would have wanted to with hand- eye coordination.
You got that right!

Yah I miss the old all star games. as we got past the early 2010s it started becoming a circus act. I hate it now

Yes of course but like you said😂
I knew Bird was known for his shit talk, but I never heard that Pistol Pete story either. Bird gives zero fucks
At 9:25, the team photo of the East All-Stars shows only one paleface--the soon-to-be Larry Legend😬

Great footage, skinny Magic and Maravich sporting a fro
@1:59 I’m sorry but that pic of Cornbread looks like his lower lip is too dang heavy for him to hold it up 😂
With bird, it's not a JUMP shot. It's a shot. No jump. Hop, maybe 🤔

Man! Larry absolutely cooked Pete.

The first three pointers in an all star game were shot in that 1980 game, and Bird shot them. He hit one.
