I old enough to see all of them play. I can tell you without a doubt. Larry legend is the Goat. the main reason is jordan beat everybody back in the day. Except one person, 0 for 6 vs. Bird. Jordan said himself. Bird was a problem.
1 steal away from a quad double after 3 quarters didn't play the 4th quarter he said I did enough damage
the guy who got the finals mvp averaged 18 to birds 15 but bird averaged 15 rebounds and I think 7 assist for the series so bird deserves it more
Maxwell'
Cornbread ! Cedric Maxwell was the star with Tiny before Larry showed up. Larry was the best player on the court, though. That includes the other team as well.
Larry Legend IS MY TRUE GOAT 🐐
I knew I'd find a comment from you here. And I'm not disappointed. 😊
He's always the first player off my draft board. 😊
I have Larry, Magic and Jordan as GOAT. I can't see it any other way. None of the three would have been as important without one of the others. If I had to pick one, it would be Bird.
Definitely top 5 ever, arguably top 3.
Magic and Bird are without a doubt the two best ambassadors the game has ever seen.
Larry is my GOAT, but I know with different times and different teams these goat debates are just a subjective thing at the end of the day. Anyone of the greatests, being that MJ, LBJ, Kareem, Magic, Bird, etc, can easily be considered the best by someone with actual good reasons. But let me say this: I really appreciate the fact that you listen to the video and keep an open mind, then if you still take LBJ, I mean, you cant get more legit than that. LBJ put Bird in his top 3 all time, Bird praised LBJ multiple times so, is anyone really wrong here? Thanks for the reaction, keep it up!
Larry avg 15 rebounds per game his first finale only 15 points Maxwell avg 18 points won MVP
the only thing not mentioned is: he hurt his back so bad, that a normal human would not be able to even walk straight and he was in constant hardcore pain, this happend in 85-86. he got the injury during construction work for his mum at home.
Here is a Pat Riley quote - "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan; If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life...I'd take Larry Bird."
Part of what complicates the "Greatest" conversation is what one considers to be components of "greatness". Some simply look to whatever statistics have been gathered. Some look at those statistics with contextual influences considered. Others recognize that statistics can't tell the complete picture of a player and look at "intangibles" too. Some also recognize that some actions/characteristics of a player as a teammate eliminate them from the running for "greatest". They might be really good at some individual skill(s) but it's what they are as a total package that means they belong in the conversation or not.
Larry Legend was the total package.
Remember, there were only 24 teams in the 80's NBA...meaning that there are players in today's NBA that wouldn't make a team in the 80's
To me the GOAT has to be Kareem. #1 in points, #3 in Rebounds. MVPs on multiple teams in multiple leagues.
And was the best player on the Showtime Lakers that had Magic and Worthy.
However one of the biggest reasons why Bird is definitely up there is because he made EVERYONE around him better. In his rookie year he took a team that had only won 24 games the year before and led them to over 60 wins.
That really is the mark against Kobe and LeBron... neither made their teammates better. And LeBron couldn't win unless he recruited other superstars to compliment him.
Larry won with a broken down Bill Walton.
Bird one of the goats
There's a HUGE Bird moment that criminally isn't on this tape, nor on the Larry Bird Mixtape: the Duel with Dominique in the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals. That truly was a case of two basketball gunslingers trading epic shots while both of their teams mostly stood there with open mouths. It came down to Bird scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter, and it still wasn't almost nearly enough, which gives you some idea of how high Dominique's performance was on that day.
Lebron needed hofers, joined hofers to win championships.. Larry made those around him into hofers and won championships. Big difference.
Cedric Maxwell won the 81 finals mvp with 17.7, 9.5 rebounds,2.8 ass.
Larry Bird in his sophomore year finals avg.15.3 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists. Certainly should have been finals mvp that year.
Please react to Magic and Bird A Courtship of Rivals documentary 🙏 ❤. Their combined stories, how they became rivals to how they became friends. It's really the best sports documentary I've ever watched. Their lives were so intertwined and always will be.
Oh boy. I can tell this is going to be a great reaction. Expect some editing of this comment. But....
Right off the bat, at 2:14, if you like Damian Lillard ... so does Clayton Crowley. You should watch more of his stuff---it's all amazing, all basketball content. After making the case for GOAT players, he made the case for GOAT teams, and then after that, he's moved on to non-GOAT but still legendary player profiles. Dame was the second Legend that Crowley got to in that most recent series.
7:52, Cedric Maxwell got the '81 Finals MVP averaging 17.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.2 steals, and 1 block per game for the series. Larry Bird got 15.3 points, 15.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks. It's subjective, but Larry's stat line looks the best to me (of all Celtics in that series, Larry had the second-most points, and the most rebounds, assists, and steals).
Cedric maxwell got the finals mvp averaging 18/game. Bird was also averaging 10+ rebounds and 6 assists a game
Bird actually averaged 15 pts, 15 boards and 7 assists that series. Also 2 steals. He beat every player on both teams in those stats except Maxwell and Moses Malone in points per game and Malone for rebounds.
I got Bird the 🐐 GOAT !
Simply put .. It's the Fucking Legend
dame is cold blooded dude, one of the best clutch players in the league today. if the blazers are in a close on its a must watch for sure.
Larry played his last FIVE SEASONS HURT...if not, .M.J. would have had to wait a little longer before he was winning ANYTHING
if there was a all time draft i’d pick larry first
I believe there are only Six ( 6 )
players that have a Legitimate
argument for GOAT …… BIRD ,
MAGIC , JORDAN , KAREEM ,
WILT and RUSSELL !
What’s not mentioned is just as impressive. He’s one of a few to win rookie of the year (over Magic, reference only) and make the all-NBA team as a rookie. He also won college player of the year. I don’t know of an award he didn’t win.
I’ve read in a different reaction that Jordan made you look slow but Bird makes you look stupid. I do have him as my goat 🐐 because of his consistency, leadership, and teamwork. There’s a video comparing him to KD and it shows the team stats for when he played vs when he didn’t (rookie year/surgery) and it’s unreal.
Yes, "Who framed Roger Rabbit" i so good.... Best ever.
Larry Legend the only player in NBA history to average 20 10 and 5 enough said
Bird averaged more defensive rebounds per game than some of the greatest centers - here are some Bird out averaged for defensive rebounds - Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Moses Malone and Shaquille O'Neal
Thank you for the open mind and great reaction! Too many LeBron fans give all LeBron fans a bad name. If you still stand by LeBron as your GOAT, it's understandable for many reasons. No one is denying LeBron's greatness. More than that, though, you make LeBron fans look good--unfortunately rare.
Us old heads have our GOATs, though, and for many of us, it's Larry Legend.
Top NBA career combined stats per game (pts, reb, ast, stl, blk) additional 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
A bunch of guys in the 40’s…
Larry Bird is the best all-around player in NBA history
I didn't say GOAT because I don't what makes someone the GOAT.
Here are the categories I looked at and what I found.
Field goal %
Free throw %
Points per game
Assists per game
Rebounds per game
Steals per game
Bocks per game
Minutes per game
Win % of games played in
Bird is in the top 250 NBA players of all time in all of those categories. Do you know how many other NBA players can say that? ZERO
And in 7 of the 9 categories Bird is in the top 60 NBA players of all time. Do you know how many other NBA players can say that? ZERO
Bird could do it all.
Here is one stat other than the above I found interesting.
Bird averaged more defensive rebounds per game than Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal - there are others as well.
Basketball IQ and skill, hustle, toughness, clutchness, killer instinct, leadership, intensity(lebron is the opposite, prima donna and flopper), all those categories, are all larry, not even close..
He came into the league a team player , all the other great players had to learn to be one.....
Cedric Maxwell got the finals MVP in 1981. Cornbread had 17.7, 9.5, and 3.5 for the finals. Bird was everywhere that series, though, his line was 15.3, 15.3, and 7.5. That’s 15.3 rebounds a game banging in the trenches against Moses Malone. That’s 7.5 assists per game for a guy playing forward, not a primary ball handler. Bird was awkward, uncomfortable, and sometimes downright surly in interviews when he was young. He often gave only one or two word answers - imagine Marshawn Lynch with a midwestern drawl. Clayton’s not kidding about it being a case of media revenge.
Larry has the 2nd highest winning % in the history of the nba, just behind his buddy magic by less than 1/2 of 1%.. Basically a tie... As for lebron? He can only dream this.
Bill Russell is the Goat. 11 NBA titles in 13 years, 5 MVPs, 2 NCAA titles and 1 Olympic Gold Medal.
He averaged 15 points and 15 rebounds in the '81 final
12 years, the other one is 6 games. And the 3 seasons are after surgery with body issues.
It is 9 seasons pre surgery where he is goat and even after surgery had great games.
If it's just like John havlicek... Every time Boston needed a big shot he was there for sixteen years
He was a Bad mamma jammer when he played. Check out Pistol Pete as well. Cheers Brother 🍺😬🍻
4:38 not just the games my man, the FINALS!
Great reaction.. I got..
#1 Michael..
#2 Larry..
#3 magic..
#4 lebron..
#5 Kareem
Im from Australia not a big basketball fan, but i have watched a few videos on who is best, what i liked was the respect i saw between Larry magic and Michael. My opinion is if i was a coach, I will pick Larry first, for his never say die attitude, his self-belief, he had that x factor that won games.
Back in the day. When it said two seconds, you didn’t know if it was 2.9 or 2.0 seconds. That’s what people forget sometimes
That is something I did not think about, thank you for that
Larry Legend
Check out (THE 5 TIMES LARRY BIRD PLAYED HURT AND REFUSED TO QUIT) THE CHECK OUT ALLTHOSE MAJOR INJURIES HE PLAYED WITH AND STILL PUT UP THE NUMBERS HE DID. THERE IS ANOTHERONE I THINK ITS CALLED(THE 4 TIMES LARRY PROVED HOW HE WAS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT , that is 2 different videos
BIRD is my GOAT next to MJ 🔥❣️
check out larry birds 55 ft jump shot against the bulls
Bird is thee 🐐
Bird finished 1st or 2nd in mvp voting every year between 1981 and 1988...damb.
The three in point line was back out farther for bird than it is now for curry and james...
If they play one-on-one..I gotta take MJ..he too quick..
The Larry..can't touch that!!!!
I'd put Bird as the 3rd best baller in history
Yeah watch Magic on that shot. He’s slumping his shoulders when that ball was in the air.
Alternate universe where everyone is available as they first entered the league I take Bird first.
Larry don't ever even hit the rim...!!
You need to check out the Bird/Magic documentary.
Lakers was a superteam. The difference was magic and worthy were drafted by the lakers. Superteams now are joint forces by allstar players.
Top 3 baller all-time. Lebron ain't in there.
Bird, mj kobe magic jerry west
Larry also had Rookie of the Year and in case you haven't seen these other ones, so that you don't have to track them down. LeBron (1) and Larry (2) have the most views out of all 8 of these videos. All videos are about 2 years old, but I'm pretty sure and everyone can agree that Kobe (RIP) 😔 and eventually Curry could possibly be added to this list. jmo

It's a super team but magic and worthy were drafted. They weren't bought free agents
Best small forward ever and Jordan never beat him in a playoff series. Top 3 for me.
Great reaction..
I got
#1 Mike
#2Larry
#3 Magic
#4 Lebron
#5 Kareem
That's a good top 5
YOU ARE SO TOTALLY CORRECT IN YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THE TOP 3 LAKERS (WORTHY, KAREEM & MAGIC) NOT TO MENTION THEIR BENCH THEY SHOULD HAVE WON THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP EVERY YEAR IN THE 80'S EXCEPT FOR BIRD & THE CELTICS. & MY MUCH HATED PISTONS & 76'ERS WHO I WILL NEVER NAME. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Larry Bird and any 4 other guys could play a Lakers team full of hall of famers to a dead draw. He was that good.
LaBron the flop king never took a bad team put them on his back and won championships like greats do. He went to loaded teams and recruiting greats to his team and still under 500 in the finals. Not in my top 5
Name one player ever who could do, or did what Bird did
Yes. The NCAA Championship game between Michigan State and Indiana University is STILL the highest rated basketball game in history. 24% of American households watched that game. Think about that for a second. Almost ¼ of the American population was watching a college basketball championship at a time when the NBA Championships were being tape delayed.
Difference between a super team and the showtime Lakers is a super team is sought out and traded to be a team showtime Lakers we're natural draft pics except Kaj
I'd take prime Bird first overall in an all time draft.... just sayin... oh and for those of you thinking Jordan.... he got swept twice by Bird in the playoffs
and Rookie of the Year. The thing people need to look at is Larry didn't chase stats.
Its obviously irrelevant now But that Finals game against the Lakers when Larry missed the final shot? It should never have got to that point because the free throw that Kareem missed went out of bounds off Magic. Should have been Celtics ball, No hook shot from Magic and Celtics win the game
Cornbread got the MVP , but without bird they wouldn't have even made the playoffs more than likely. .......
Bird can dominate the game with 15-17 points.
Cornbread Maxwell..MVP .ave18.
Doesn't the clock not start until the ball is received inbounds?
Jordan was a freshman..
You should really link the original video in your description.
when do these titles change to "Larry Bird fan reacts to Larry Bird" haha
Wilt was the GOAT, Kareem, Kobe. Those are the top three of all time.
You should watch "Jordan vs Lebron - The Best GOAT Comparison".
The guy breaks down literally every imaginable metric between LeBron and Jordan...
Its not even close.
Jordan makes LeBron look like a middle school PE teacher.
Also there is without a shadow of a doubt a case to make for Larry.
I dunno If Id place him no1... there is an argument for it but the others has their own arguments that are just as valid.
But imo Larry is at least top3 of all time.
Next to MJ and Magic.
Kareem probably has to be top5
After that it gets murky realy quick
He is, after 1980. The big disadvantage he has is the short career due to surgery. But he is the goat. After 1980 because I dont know alot on prior players.
Lebron is not top10 if all time is taken jnto account. He lost the shot in Miami tournament, he lost many times in international competitions and Kobe was better there overall, he was not the critical player in the Cleveland C finals but the other guy was.
All time considered, he is not top 10 imo, or maybe 8-9-10 if is.
There are 4,5 better players before 1980 and same for after. Gor Lebron you can say for before 1980 as well . If i am wrong on prior 1980, still there are at least 6 better players who still played after 1980.
The reason they taped delayed was the drug use...it was that bad...
'le-flop', or, as "I" like to call him, -'le-quit', is it the 'Bottom' of MY .G.OA.T list. The fact that- he has the 'GUTS' to compare himself to the 'BEST' of ALL-TIME, spoke-VOLUMES about his Lack of self awareness. Lmbo
Cornbread Maxwell was MVP..ave 18
Good one..Pistol Pete Maravich..
Do his video .
Ave 44.6 in NCAA..without a 3 pt.line..
Scored 68 vs. Knicks.( No 3 pt. line)
Lol, you just said no case for Larry to be the GOAT…. I almost skipped to the end just to see if you admit you’re wrong. But I’ll wait, I’ll watch. I think you’ll be open minded. ✌🏻
Edit: Ok, all done, I was right… you’re totally open minded. Love that. 😎
LeBron is the best in the last twenty years but I don't think most fans have seen a lot of great players compete. In the eighties we got to see Dr, J ,Kareem, Jordan, Magic and Bird go head to head. Over half the HOF came from the eighties. That said, I never saw Wilt or Russell. You can only compare who you have seen.
Cool. I've never watched the HoF.
Lol..the way you looked at camera .
Magic-kareem-worthy..
How the fuck did Larry beat them!!!!.he was good!!!
Larry bird is top 5 dead or alive. If you want views react to Larry Bird. Great video.
LARRY BIRD is the GOAT !
LEBRON doesn’t have anything on
the Legend ….. he has to be the
most overrated player of all time !
From my perspective…not gonna lie…love me some Bird! However….. I think all these GOAT videos do not compare correctly. To put Bird against say Jordan isn’t fair. Here’s a few reasons why: comparisons should be by position, it isn’t fair to compare because the shot clocks and timers are different, lastly, the times. Ball play vary from year to year and decade to decade. Is Bird ONE of the GOAT? Yes is the easy answer. Check out the USA dream team that went to the Olympics. They only had one weak link… Christian Laetner. He just didn’t belong on that team.
Magic and Bird tied at #4 for me.
1. Jordan, 2. Kareem, 3. Wilt,
Mj 0-6 against larry.
This kid put Lebron over Jordan in the first minute of the video and I almost skipped this noise. Still watching but we will see if its worth finishing.
If we are going to talk about last second clutch shots or plays you say Larry bird.. Michael Jordan John havlicek Jerry west... End of discussion
Seriously LeBron isn't even top 3 ..Bird at his peak was 10v better than LeBron
Jordan made you look slow..
Larry made you look stupid..
P.s.Larry got into many bar fights...
Lol I do not doubt that
wait you put lebron at #1 and Jordan at #2... That was you being funny right? ha. I'm glad more and more of the younger generations have youtube and can go back and watch some of the guys that made Lebron. I got into watching basketball in the late 70s through to the 90s. Magical time to be a fan. My top 6 ranking is: 1. Bird, 2. MJ 3. Magic 4. Kareem 5. Kobe 6. Wilt after that, there's a bit of a gap between anyone else and these 6. Growing up Magic was always my GOAT, as a kid the Lakers in the 80's was just as magical as the movies they were putting out in Hollywood so it was easy to fall in love with them, especially since I lived on the west coast saw more Lakers games than any other team. My dads GOAT was Bird. As I got older and really started rewatching Bird and just focusing on him and his all around basketball playing. His shooting, passing, IQ, getting into everyone's head and getting them out of their game, putting everyone on his team the spotlight, feeding the ball to those guys when most guys would just take the shot and run up their stats, He made Parish and Mchales careers. Trash talking and backing it up, playing his entire career w/ some sort of injury, his second half was with serious back injuries and still killing it, Bird would have Lebron sitting in the corner sucking his thumb crying out for his mom.
Not sure if you had seen the clip of Devin Booker complaining to the refs about a mascot distracting him during his free throws. Larry had to shoot free throws while the opposing fans had cutouts and posters of bikini clad women under their basket. Larry didn't flinch.
