I reacted to • Hilarious Larry Bird T...
Bird was officially listed at 6'9" but a whole bunch of players say he was definitely 6'10". Magic is listed at 6'9" but Bird is taller than Magic, as you can see whenever they're next to one another.
The one you said didn't move, was throwing his towel up over his face laughing. 🤣
But he wasnt jumping up & down high fiving! lol
🤣
7:01 PHOTO BOMB 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DJ cracks me up !
🤣🤣
Bird liked one steal having a quadruple double in the 3rd quarter. He said he'd done enough damage and sat down. They asked him if he wanted to go back in, but the stats just weren't as big a deal back then. Bird could have probably scored 60 every night, but he wasn't selfish. It was really something to watch back in the day.
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 best way for Larry to play was to allow the flow to take him and work with it. It was so natural for him that his brain would get in the way if he thought about the game.
The Celtics weren’t out grabbing stats
Bird during one game checked himself out early in the 3rd quarter after scoring 43 points
Man he called game winners predict the points he would score. The man was a beast
sheesh
@@imChriss2 Although the 126-115 scoreline doesn’t seem remarkable, the box score reveals that something truly special happened. Bird scored an incredible 60 points, shooting 61.1% from the floor (22-26). He only made one three-pointer. McHale's 57 points in Boston with zero three pointers.
He was listed at 6'9" keep watching he was great to watch. We were always on the edge of our seats
6'9 3/4"....but went by 6'9" officially.
Bird was 6"91/2"..... Perhaps you can react to more of Bird's historic games. Like his 48 point buzzer beater against Portland.
Bizarrely, Larry did the same thing when his chance came for a quadruple double. He was a hair away and he chose to go to the bench.
I don't know why his sheet says 6'9, because he was taller than any other 6'9 player. I believe he was a good 6'10. Some agree.
Larry is taller than Magic...I don't remember exactly the reasoning behind it...something to do with making them seem more equal as players.
You gotta respect Larry Legend. 😎
Yeah, you notice they were not doing any stat padding. Bird took himself out of a game for the entire 4th quarter needing only 1 steal for a quadruple double. When they asked him why he didn't go for he said he already did enough damage.
He was listed at 6'9", but it was probably 6'9.9". Magic is 6'9" and Bird is taller than him.
He was listed 6 9 but legit 6 10
60 no overtime...
61% from the field, 15 of16 free throws, only one three pointer."Rainbow - trainers lap" to the Hawks bench and does it. I cant blame them for their reaction. Ive watched the NBA since 1972. Ive never seen another opposing bench ever do anything like that.
Enjoyed your reaction. You're too young to know that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson saved the NBA from extinction. Both of these men where all-time MVPs. And boy, were they exciting to watch.
the official states do say Larry is 6'-9", some said he looked more like 7'
love your CH sir.
Also Antoine Carr in my opinion is one of the most underrated players ever .. look his stuff up.
And he was a MAIN player that got the Jazz over the hump for sure.
I watched eVery Jazz game back then.
I could write a book here.
Old BiG DAWG WAS 💥 When he was in for Jazz , telllin ya.
Even gaurded Hakeem well , despite the nba refs then giving him hard time in that matchup.
Those guys didn't really care about anything other than winning. Larry didn't go back into a game to get a quadruple double because they were up by so much in another game.
If you enjoy bird you should check out pistol Pete's college highlights. 44 points per game average with no 3 point line. Pete pretty much invented modern basketball.
Atlanta cheered for him because game recognizes game.
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 was listed as 6’9” - but general consensus was that he was bigger. If not *exactly* 6’10”, he was very close - what was called a BIG 6’9”
at the time, heights were generally expressed in whole numbers in the inch line, and were sometimes fudged a bit.
Example : Bill Walton was listed as 6’11” but was probably closer to 7’1” - why ? Because HE didn’t *want* to be called a 7 footer. Yet he was actually visibly a bit taller than 7’0” Robert “The Chief” Parish.
Also, these guys were usually listed by their college height - and there were inconsistencies in whether this school measured them barefoot, or that school measured them with shoes on.
All of those guys were great Bird, Jordan, Dominique, Malone, Dr. J, Magic, Kareem, King, Gervin, Moncrief, Olajuwan, etc. 80s were the best.
Livingston was tough. There were so many just below great too...Lanier was great.
Need to do a video on Caitlin Clark
McHale took himself out because he wasn't worried about individual stats and accomplishments. It was about winning and even though Bird gave him a hard time about it, it was as a joke. That entire team was about winning which is why they are regarded as one of the best teams in NBA history. (and McHale probably didn't believe Legend would top it anyway ....LOL) Lesson learned as he even talked trash to his teammates.
Unless he was hurting or something.. don't take yourself out the game. Keep on gettin it. Kevin
You’re right bro, he shouldn’t have come out of the game. Keep killing them lol
fr im going for 100🤣
If that was lebum,he win't stop, he's a stat padder
Larry Bird can average 60 points every night if he wants to but he is a team player
Stats don't matter as long as they win
By sitting down when Kevin McHale did that was more disrespectful.
Bird was closer to 6'11
They registered him as 6'9 to put him at the same height as Magic to play up their rivalery even more.
look where Bird and Magic ar standing next to each other, Bird is _'clearly*_ taller.
They say he is 6"9 on his stats, card.
McHale was a great post player, if you like watch some video about him.
Height wasn't exact...Magic was listed at 6'9" but Bird was taller than him.
We didn't correct you because Larry IS 6' 9", not 6' 10". Dominique was wrong. Also at 7:55 Dominique said McHale got 57 points when it was 56.
Actually Larry Bird is closer 6'10"! They lowered his height & upped Magics height to make they seem more even on the court. Perception that they were equal as players...I forget what all they said but that was part of it. If you see them standing next to each other... you can see that Larry is taller than Magic! lol
@@Sunny-jz3dy "They"? Larry is 6' 9" in all of his bios. None say 6' 10".
For the last 35 years I always "knew" Larry was 6'10" but then I looked it up recently and saw 6'9" so Dominique saying 6'10" caught my attention. Maybe they rounded it up back then because he was a star but something happened.
@@MatthewC137 Its more like rounding down...technically Bird is 6'9 1/2" Magic is 6"8"...they bumped Magics up and rounded down on Birds.
@@Sunny-jz3dy Notice that I said "back then". I think they did the honest thing and rounded it up to 6'10" in the '80s because that's the height I always remembered him being.
He was/is great fun to watch play the game. He was a phenomenal player and he was white. Which is still a huge disadvantage to most players of basketball. Let’s be real. It made it all, even more impressive, that he could do what he did, as good as he did.
Googles outta pocket it says birds 6'9 but look at Larry and magic when they are side by side birds taller and all players say birds 6'10 so I'm going with 6'10 he looked like a giant to (me a 9 yr old) 🐦💯
💯
😂I think that there are more than one goats. Larry is usually my favorite. Sometimes Michael. And there are others. But what I came in here to say is the one thing that makes me mad about Larry. He said if I ever get that hot I'm not coming out of the game. So why then did he take himself out of the whole 4th quarter 1 steal shy of a quadruple double? I really wish he didn't do that. Just me being a selfish Bird fan I guess. But man that would have looked good on his career stats.
Anybody that does not have Bird top 5 just don't know
The reason Kevin McHale stopped is because unlike you obviously , he realizes that basketball is a team sport and all that matters is that your team wins. They were up plenty why should one of your key players continue to play when the game is already over. Kevin Mchale could care less how many points he scored. He just did what was needed for his team to win. Not so different from JoKic today. Funny thing, players who think that way tend to win a lot.
Really wanted to watch this video. But couldn't stand you talking over the players, coaches, etc.
You talk too much over the video😢😢😢😢😢😢
Idgaf😢😢
I so truly wish Larry hadn't got injured.. how many more amazing stories would we have today.. Larry Legend.. At the end.. 6'10.. I've always heard 6'9 too
Remember, this whole video is the story of only ONE game! Larry had a LOT of crazy games, many of them with great back stories, like this one. What a time it was to be a fan, what a ride he took us on!
Thing is, these guys weren't stat padders like today, winning was more important.
What I enjoy about 80's NBA is it was a show and no matter if you win or loose everybody had fun- the fans, the couches and the players.Respect for life for all NBA of that era.
Bird says he's 6 9 but so is Magic and every picture or video of them together and Larry is taller. Imo by at least an inch
very true
"why you don't poke Larry Bird" is a great one to react to
i gotchu
That is the White Mamba in the video with Danny Ainge😆
thats what i thought😭😭
I'd still love to watch you react to Bird is the word, 15 minutes of Larry Legend. You will laugh so much.
i gotchu
Hey Chriss my first time watching I loved your reaction plus your handsome keep on doing reactions your good at it , you made me laugh ty your going to go far doing reactions ty again you have good vibes put out some more 😅
i appreciate it & thank you. More videos otw
What made that 60 so impressive is because he did 90 % of it from the perimeter
sheeshhhhhh
Old NBA they kinda stretched the true about how tall players were...just ask Sir Charles.
That is the mentality difference, it was all about winning, not about the stats. Bird is 1 steal away from Quadruple double in first 3 quarters and he sat out the whole 4th qtr. Coach asked if he wanna make history, Bird replied that he had done enough damages. So what do you think if it happens in Today's NBA? The player may literally go to ask opponent's coach to let him get 1 more steal.
It makes no sense to the selfish like lebron or kobe or anyone from the last oh 20 years in the nba. But to the selfless & the team players especially to old folks records don't matter championship do more & staying healthy.
He is 6’9 bro, you weren’t wrong
Check out the story Jamal Mashburn tells about Larry Bird on the dream team
Gotchu
I’m glad you said that, I can’t take my black friend anywhere, but he says the same about me too!😂 People are people, who cares? Be yourself!
🤣🤣
You right, he 6"9
LEGEND.
