when i was a kid i didnt know who Larry Bird was, i just thought he was some guy challenging Michael Jordan to a game of horse in the mcdonalds commercial
There is something really special happening when Larry Bird and Magic Johnson are on the same stage. I heard a reporter describe it like this: It's like a secret club and they are the only members.
When Bird and Magic came out of college, I didn't like Larry, mainly because of all of the ADDED hype he was getting. But when he put all of that hype to rest and told reporters to stop, and judge him after his career, that's when I had the utmost respect for him. And add that to the fact that he showed he was one of the baddest to ever play the game. He's one of my all time favorites. LEGEND!!!!
There hasn’t been a rivalry in sports to match the 80s Celts vs Lakers since then. One of the reasons is because players are no longer faithful to a team. Both Bird and Magic played for the same team their entire career, as did many of their teammates. That’s how you get that great team basketball
Best commercial of all time. Charles Barkley. "I am not a role model." for/with Nike. The MJ/Bird shootout ranks pretty high too - definitely Top 10 probably Top 5. As much as I hate Wendy's, "Where's the Beef" is probably #2.
Wilt prolly top 4 and Bird top 9 all time Bird the second best sf ever after LeBron Wilt is second just cuz Kareem has a better resume but Wilt would be top 2 all time of he achieved more
@3:38 if you like rivalrys then you owe it to yourself to watch the interview between Magic-Bird on Letterman. The two have such chemistry together and yet polar opposite personalities.
"Larry's not white, he's clear". I've watched Space Jam a thousand time and was always perplexed by this scene because I had no idea what Billy Murray was talking about. Now that I've gotten older and I know who Larry Bird is, that line finally makes sense.
Larry had a choice of taking Study Hall or assisting with my 8th grade P.E. class when he was a senior at Springs Valley High School in French Lick, Indiana. He chose P.E. assistant. When this video shows the Converse commercial of the black limo pulling up at Larry's, that was at his home just outside of French Lick and he and Magic were playing on Larry's outside basketball court (NBA regulation size). As Larry and Magic became friends Larry had a good time showing Magic around. A few years after the Converse commercials, Hollywood came back to French Lick to film the movie "Blue Chips". They filmed a few seconds of it on my parents farm. I have a wonderful photo of my sweet late parents with Nick Nolte. What makes the photo extra special is, they had no idea who Nick Nolte was, they were just being polite.
That duck duck goose commercial shows you his IQ waited until the guy ran around then when he got next to him Larry just touched him without getting out of the chair!
Larry doesn't get enough credit for that "covered wagon" joke at the Dream Team induction. That's a very high risk joke in a very high stakes event. If it doesn't come off it would be epic levels of cringe. Fortunately, he's Larry Bird and Larry Bird don't miss.
"Thank ya Dave" Bird to Letterman, sarcastic AF after Dave reminds him of a loss. Bird and Magic loved each other, but that comment by Bird, "My goal was to try to take three of them teeth home with me at the end of the night", referring to competing against Magic and his beautiful smile. Dude was a straight killer and assassin.
@@big8dog887 It was Isiah - on an Open Court episode. I think he might have said Laimbeer instead of Magic though - I'd have to go look it up to be sure.
Need to include the time Bird and Auerbach were being interviewed in the locker room by Bill Russell after a game: Red: "You two, you know what it's like to win. Me? I never won a thing." Russell: "Yeah, but you brought in the guys who did the winning." Bird: "So? You're overpaid." Russell/Auerbach: "LMFAO!!!!!"
Larry Joe Bird is and Always Will be My Personal GoaT . No 1 that I have seen can Do thethings he could do ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD he was as Tough to BEAT on Form as Any1 that has Ever lived to play Pro BasKeTball .
Bird and Magic, two of the greatest players ever. Love when these two guys get together. Would love to see them play a game of checkers in a NBA retirement home commercial. Kind of like the Peyton Manning retirement home commercials.
Some people have to be spoon fed this information. Those people are casual fans. Actual fans remember LJB’s stone face from when Reggie sunk that basket.
“Through the winda” that’s really how competitive mike is😂😂😂… he talking about shooting through a window of a 20 story building just for it to come back like a boomerang and swish nothing but net😂😂😂
You can tell that Magic Johnson really adores Bird.

Awesome compilation! Really well done. Thanks!
Bill Russell laugher is the funniest 🤣
I remember those commercials with CB wanting to play, they were always so entertaining.
Almost as good as the original (CB was only in one ad) - but IMO the "bird stole the sandwich from LeBron" version was a bit ahead of the Charles one.
Best line "I walked away with the MVP"
I love watching this.. such competitors on the court but the camaraderie/ respect they had off the court was the best.
Charels BARKley 😂 I laughed at that part
Larry and Magic is the best thing to happen in sports
Larry Bird would still dominate in today's NBA
This is FUNNY 😂. And pretty cool 😎 how it was put together.
That duck duck goose commercial shows you his IQ waited until the guy ran around then when he got next to him Larry just touched him without getting out of the chair!
the beginning, I remember those commericals, then the "Over the top, around the corner.and in the net" followed that.
1:16 Magic: *That line dosen't work here*
I absolutely loved that commercial that they were playing. Jordan and bird. I was a kid watching it over and over
