The Larry Bird Museum will be opening soon in Terre Haute Indiana.
@Slumstackman,🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@claudiasteinwald8952 If in Indiana I'd go see that!
Dominique was a force of nature.
He doesn’t get the respect and recognition he deserves.
Bird thinks a lot of him.
Grew up in the 70s in a small rural town and we loved Bird, but we all loved Dominique just as much. He was as close to Superman as I have ever seen!
When people talk about Lebron trying to play back in the day, I always say his comp is DW. Not as dynamic and more tactical, but that is what he would have been back then when they could mug you in the lane.
And bird told him he had heart! A real compliment from the Larry the Ledgen
Larry Bird gave it everything he had. I can’t believe I was privileged enough to watch him. There’s only ONE LARRY BIRD.
Hat eta was the best bball I have ever had the privilege to WATCH.
The 1980s was the Golden age of the NBA. When Men played the games. And REAL basketball fans cared about the game. NO TIME LIKE IT. NO PLAYERS LIKE IT.
I live in Atlanta and attended a lot of Hawks games in those years and loved Nique and Bird. I was a Bird fan since his early college days when I got to see him play in person. So this game was SO hard for me. Two players that never ever cheated the fans, the both always played their butts off and played to win every game.
Bird had all those skills before he came to the NBA. He was a special one of a kind player.
And he injured his thumb on his shooting hand the summer before reporting to the Celtics. Said he never had the same feel for the ball after that injury. Can you imagine what he would have done without that and the back injury? The back injury he got shoveling when putting in a driveway for his mother. He played injured from then on.
"You are watching what greatness is all about" = a perfect description of Bird and his desire and tenacious appetite to win games!!! This guy played like his life depended on the outcome and he played through pain that most people do not understand = great insight and comments from teammate Danny Ainge. Thanks for sharing!
The determination of Nique was something to marvel at as well, being guarded by McKale long armed Frankenstein built dominating like he did then on other end trying to stop Larry. Dude never tired, Legend & mates still hanging on the mountain top. Not even mentioning Larry’s back injury. When Basketball talent and competition was at its greatest.
That left hand hook while falling,was only sunk by this man and the only one watching that thought it was going in. Why he’s such a Legend.
Bird had bronchial pneumonia that game! That's why he wasn't playing that well at first. He played on pure heart that game
I did not know he had pneumonia. B-I-R-D = G-O-A-T
@@areese240z Yeah, you could see it on his face, how labored his breathing was. And along with two damaged achilles heels, this was a performance for the ages.
@@aramhamparian9641 I knew he was having problems with his achilles but I was unaware of the pneumonia. The toughest player ever.
He was amazing athlete, talent and determination unmatched in this day and age.
Dominic was in his prime. On top of that dominic was a top level player. Bird
Was in his final years, plus he was playing in severe pain. Had bird been in his prime,... just imagine.
A very gracious Dominique Wilkins. He did the same for the Hawks; better, even. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong team, had the wrong GM, etc. but no sour grapes. Just respect. His focus is on Bird while describing the greatest game of his own career. It's really quite remarkable the esteem he holds Bird in: watch his anger at JJ Reddick for bad mouthing Bird recently and calling him overrated. As amazing as he was as a player, he was a bigger man.
Dominique is such a classy and respectful guy. He deserved a championship. Im from Georgia and I wish Nique had played on any other team. He should have been on the dream team.
Dominique is one of the most overlooked greats.
@johannesswillery7855 No Question. If Larry hadn't played as well as he did against the Hawks in that series, Dominique would be seen in a much larger aspect, had they won against the Celtics. Dominique was an absolute monster.
I'm a huge Bird/Celtics fan and saw him play many times but I liked your reaction to Dominique. He was incredible. Boston fans hated a lot of opponents, Liambeer, Sampson but you couldn't hate Dominique. He was so good a player and too classy to be disliked.
I loved watching Bird play. He played to win. Every step , every dribble , every shot
He was a beast in High School,, college and in the Pros' I was very lucky in life and got to see him in all three venues. We were doing a job near Washington North Carolina and we kept hearing about this High school player so we drove an hour to see him. We were astounded how good a high school player could be. Auburn won the lottery getting him.
Thank you for a truly special video.❤
Dominique is such a humble and gracious sportsman. He has no big chip on his shoulder. He doesn't talk about how well HE played in that game, which he ABSOLUTELY DID. He was spectacular. The Celtics just had more, better players around him than Nique did. And they pissed Larry off for no reason and he made them pay. I don't think there has ever been a more athletic leaper with skills than Dominique Wilkins. And I'm a huge Larry Bird fan.
Facts. Dominique was then and is now pure class.
I am a huge bird fan but love Dominique
At another level. That's exactly what Larry Bird was on the basketball court.
Bird and Jordan , DONT POKE THE BEAR they both had killer instinct, I love my bird 🐦🏀💚 I grew up on him ,but he had IT I mean bird wasn't playing about winning, he did it all too 🐦🏀💚
Ive seen a bunch of Bird reactions but that respectful summation at the end you gave put this at the top and made me subscriber.
I became a Bird Fan when, being a Hog Fan, Noland said "That White Boy can Ball!" Long before Bird retired!
I was fortunate to have Larry as my P.E. Assistant when Larry was a senior at Springs Valley High School in French Lick, Indiana. So many stories, simply Amazing.
@tomroach6275, what a privilege!
What a great video! Of course, the highlights along with the commentary by some NBA legends throughout the video helped. Your words at the end were just right, well done, sir!
I’m a huge Bird fan, but also Dominique. Seeing the way he could literally fly through the air was just unreal! Not only his talent. He is a genuinely great guy, too.
My favorite part of this video had nothing to do with basketball, though. It was when you said, “make sure y’all stay prayed up.” I love the fact that you said it, and not only that, but it is also very encouraging! I’m now subscribed, and I look forward to checking out more of your content,! Thanks a lot, brother!
When you have opponents talking about you like this, you know it is something. Love it.
Great commentary!!
Great reaction!
Larry’s face at the end of his career looks like one of a boxer, a warrior.
He actually had to have both Achilles surgically detached to work on the bone spurs under them. That's other world tough to come back from at the level he did.
Larry effing Legend!! And Dominique was just amazing, a monster on the court.
Great one from my favorite reactor! Like to see your numbers get higher!
You knew how bad things were when the next year he simply couldn't play. I wonder, in the previous 10 seasons, how many games Larry missed. Probably not many.
Bird, with the myth of how slow he is, and how he couldn't jump, and all--lol. His basketball IQ, skill, positioning and efficiency, allowed him to overcome all that, along with the bone spurs in both ankles and an injured back. He also had double achilles tendonitis in both ankles in his career, as well, and had to have surgery. He found a way to win a jump ball against Hakeem Olajuwon, broke up more 2 on 1s and 3 on 1s on defense than probably anyone, and could shoot with his off-hand and throw full-court in bounds dimes off an opponent made FG in a way no one else ever could. His left hand was probably better than many guys' right hand. He understood spacing, help defense, and knew how to move with and without the ball, and where to be. He couldn't be stopped by anyone or anything and could always get his shot off even if he told you what he was gonna do--he was that good. Bird's skills are 1st rate. He did it all and beat the best of the best. Dominique's team would have won or at least competed for multiple titles in any other decade--just like Milwaukee and New York--those were great teams that never got the chances they would have if it weren't for Larry Bird. Notice no mention of Michael--his bulls got swept twice and couldn't even break through to be in the discussion those first 5 or 6 years, but those hawks, knicks, and bucks were tough teams, and like i said, if it weren't for being in the Bird era, they would have been competing for titles, too. 24-10-6 for a career with 3 titles and 3 straight MVPs, in the most dominant, talented, loaded era in the history of the game--population 1--Larry Bird. Biggest turnaround in any team's win percentage-all time record-Larry Bird with Boston-from 29-53 (1978-79 no Bird) to 61-21 (1979-80 got Bird), and that was his rookie year- +32 wins. He is the GOAT for all-around, complete game--points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, and defense. Look at the all-time rankings if you don't believe me. It isn't even arguable anymore. I don't care about awards, volume scoring on volume attempts in losing efforts, dunking, posterizing, vertical leap, acrobatics or multiple titles in a dead era of competition, beating teams who never won anything and claiming to be the all-time team--Boston went 99-4 at home over 2 seasons against the best competition the league ever had. I just care about winning and basketball played within the framework of 'TEAM'--unselfish, move the ball, play defense, high percentage shots, everyone contributes, and win. When I ask people who their GOAT is, 9 times out of 10 I can say, Bird is a better shooter, passer, and rebounder than them. Then they say, well my guy is a shooting guard--they don't get blocks and assists or rebounds. Then I say, there are GOAT candidates that did it all, regardless of their position--they don't make those excuses. Guys like Bird, Wilt, Hakeem--they did it all. Wilt and Hakeem had no problem with assists and steals. Bird had no problem with anything. Could your GOAT do it all like these guys could? I doubt it. Look at the all-time career averages and learn truth. Guys will say, well Bird wasn't a good defender. Folks, Bird was an elite defender. He led the league in defensive win-shares 4 seasons and is ranked 61st all-time. Because Jordan is ranked 110th all-time on that same list, you shouldn't really say Jordan was better--I know he won the awards for 1st team all-defense and DPOY, but the career ranking isn't a league award--it is statistical and historical, not an award tainted with popularity. You don't have to like Bird, just understand all the things he did as it pertains to winning every year he played in, and the fact he won every year he played and was always a threat for a title. When Magic, said there would never be another Larry Bird, I didn't get it back then, and I was a huge Bird fan. I understand now what he meant. Larry did stuff that wasn't done before him, and hasn't been done since. He played the game like no other and saw the game like no other. He was tough unlike any other (please don't tell me about Mike having the flu--the flu isn't a fractured vertebrae and a turtle-shell brace with 46-16-12-4-2 with 2 bad ankles coming off surgery). He hustled. He dove over tables and chairs for loose balls at 6'10", up by 12, with 4 minutes to go. He got everyone involved. He was the first to practice, and the last to leave. He talked trash as an art form. He embraced every intense, high stakes moment and never, ever backed down and would fight anyone whenever necessary. I didn't know how spoiled we really were just getting to see Larry play. He had rivals. Today's league is full of 'besties'--I bet that makes Larry sick.. You play to win--not to be good friends and form a superteam. Those are weak moves for weak players who can't elevate those around him. Bird elevated DJ, Ainge, McHale, Parish, and got the most and the best out of them when they joined the team. Bird won that first title in 81 without Ainge, without DJ, and with a rookie, non-starting McHale.. Next time someone disrespects Bird's game, slap 'em in the face for being an ignorant, casual fan who doesn't get a GOAT vote.
Paragraphs are your friend.
Um, dude, this IS a paragraph. Maybe he should have had more than one. Maybe not. I am not gonna rip a dude for saying everything he has to say just because he uses one long paragraph and not two to four of them just to please the audience (me). It is HIS opinion. Leave it at that.@@riffgroove
Badaas review bro! Love you're style and recognizing and speaking facts!
Dominique was incredible in that game, but Larry was not going to be denied.
All these years later, it is still just as exciting. Larry playing injured was the most breathtaking sight. Still astounding.
Before Larry Bird videos I had no idea who Dominique Wilkins was but he seems really cool I like him 😊😊😊
Bird fan my whole life, but I have the upmost respect for the Human Highlight Reel.
He was a great one, Dominique was, truly a great one.
remember watching this game man i'll never forget, it was one for the ages no doubt, and you could tell he was hurting from his expressions on his face and the way he ran the court
Stringbean McHale holding his own (mostly ) against the most athletic players in the game just cracks me up
Loved watching his footwork in the paint, he was amazing with the up and under moves, Only Hakeem Olajuwan and Jack Sikma, had better pivot moves near the paint!!
Right. But gotta remember McHale played the entire playoffs with a broken foot the season before, when they lost in 6 in The Finals. Missed a chunk of the next season and was still good but never the same thereafter.
Bird had the respect of all of the players in the NBA.Some like Willis learned the hard way about respect :)
Larry Bird the Real GOAT!
I love how players from that era were men amongst men.domonique and the hawks didn't use one cross word.domonique was a beast.i remember when he got to the hawks he was the hawks
Uh oh stack love your channel and reactions ❤
I watched him through his entire career. By 1984, I expected him to do things like this. I watched this game live and wasnt surprised at all that he had that fourth quarter. I expected it.
Peace and blessings my friend!! 🕊🙏❣Love your reviews!! Bird Gang is here!! Have you seen Bird's 2 OT victory VS Moses Malone?! It proves he's #1 clutch player of all time!! He had 3 game winners, 2 of them 3 pointers! Someone made one with Johnny Most's voice with the live game coverage beginning at the end of regulation thru the double OT. It's about 48min long, well worth it, not edited! Malone was deadly also, a real nailbiter!!
That dude Willis was a monster bro. And Dominique....😅
I remember that game it was nuts
All the youngsters of Today's internet. Like to talk out both sides of their mouths. They piss on 80s and 90s players....their GO to is Today's players are soooo much more athletic. Jokic is a Top 3 center of all-time let them tell it. Jokic is Grilling these uber Atheletic players of Today's NBA 😂😂
None are more athletic than Dominique.
Yet you saw the "Plumber" Larry Bird dribble drive past him in the 4Q like he was a statue.
These kids have no idea about true athleticism. They definitely cant grasp that BBall intelligence allows players to beat athleticism absent intelligence and or fundamentals. K. Willis is more athletic than easily 75% of Today's NBA.....yet they never put him on Bird because it would be BBQ Chicken 🐔
Bird roasted "Athletes" .
Also it's funny how when it counted Bird was deadly with 3pt shots.
When all you do is watch highlights and read stats you tend to not know what you're talking about.....
So the Majority of 35 and under have no clue when trying to argue the Skills of NBA players from different eras.
Respect the Legend 😎
Man,id LOVE to see these guy's from the 80's step out on the court once more🏀
If this story is true, the Hawks should have traded Willis immediately after this game. LOL. Great reaction bro!
What about Cliff Livingston? Only time in career use the left hand.
Thats a ignorant thing to say. Im sorry 😢
I liked Cliff Livingston hell of a gamer never saw him laying up left handed hook shot@@williambeaudry9652
Hey, man, been checking out your Bird stuff, and I'd like to answer your GOAT question before I watch the video. Is Larry The One? Here's where I get weird, because while I wouldn't argue against it, I can say that about a number of top players. So I put it this way: If I was drafting a dream team from the entire history of NBA players, against a group of owners the size of the current NBA, I'd use my first pick to get Larry, if possible.
That's for two reasons, the first being that if I have him, I'll never have to face him. The second's because of who he was as a player, so the rest WILL play as a team, move the ball selflessly, and go after the other guys relentlessly. Those who don't like it will find out that he can act as his own enforcer, and not just through violence. GOAT, I can't say, but in a situation like that, he's the must-have MVP. That's a statement of a different sort. Keep on truckin', sir!
Great point, would be my pick as well, winner and most of all a Team player!
Shaq Jr !? You sound just like him. Look a little like him , too. New Orleans native. Big LSU fan.
Enjoying the channel.
Love everything about you dude
Great episode!
Ola StackMan,
Here are two missing columns that have never listed on any Score Sheet or Statistics Sheet simply because they have never existed, "Hustle" and "Playing Injured." These are two facets of the game that are rarely ever discussed or considered when the subject of who the GOAT contenders are, as well as "Hall Of Fame" nominees. I think these two subjects should always be given serious consideration.
Here's a list of his inhuries:
- Bad Lower Back
- Fractured Right Cheekbone
- Heel Spurs (both feet requiring
surgery)
- Broken Right 4th Finger
(permanently deformed)
- Ruptured Achilles Tendons, Right
and Left Legs (both requiring surgery)
These are just the injuries I know of that I noted from videos. Bird may have had more injuries that he played with, I don't know. Ciao.

haha Dominique could not miss, but he just talks about Larry's situation. Now you guys know what class is.
You could tell he couldn't walk very well. Superman.
He's one of the men.
There is scripture that goes. "One of the mighty men of old, Men of renown".
Need is so underated
not to many podcaster I wait to hear what they have to say after Video has finished but Listen to yours every time
He was Larry Bird
Willis said its all mental. Well, he learned how it feels to get it back ten fold from the BIRD 🐦
He was Larry
turn it up bring the noise
But they say he wasnt athletic...
His Achilles were so painful he had to abandon his unstoppable step back fadeaway and come up with another shot, left handed hook, not for some meaningless game in December but for a Game Seven in the East final.
But they say he wasnt athletic...
Larry was left-handed but played right. Let that bake your brain...
Hey Slum letssssss get it😂❤
Dominique should be included in every conversation about the all-time greats!
(And I still think he won the dunk contest over MJ in Chicago lol Yes, I do!)
THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN. 🐦
I was a Laker fan my whole life, until the Sonics moved to OKC. I HATED Larry Bird. But I can give credit where it's deserved, he was a BAD BOY!!!! (I only hated the players that hurt my team, breaking my heart. LOL. Now I'm officially an old man, I enjoy watching greatness, even if they are playing against my fav team.)
I had bone spurs and a new word is needed to describe the pain.
Good job
When Bird retired i quit watching Professional Basketball
I watched Bird and Magic. That was the first time I cared about pro ball. Never watched the bad boy pistons. Started watching the Bulls in 1990. Jordan retired and I quit watching the game again until he returned. Doubt I missed anything. Watched Shaq and Kobe. Watched D Wade and Shaq. All those players retired and there is no one left worth watching. I watch maybe 2 games a year now. (Luka and Jayson Tatum)
Me too. Just isn't the same anymore.
Said it b4. My 5 are Jordan, Bird, Dominique, kobe, and Russell. No number one to me. All awesome in their own way.
Real basketball played by real legends
How dare they DJ my 2nd favorite player I loved DJ RIP
Good content sir. Only suggestion would be to put yourself in a smaller box in the corner so more of the highlights can be seen.
Dope
I wonder if the GOAT's feet hurt from being on them so much, practicing more than the others?
Hi brother
Dominique was a monster who could crucify most other players - he wasn't called "The Human Highlight Film" for nothing!
Can you imagine todays players going up against the '80's players if they were allowed the physical contact they they were so used to back then? Today's clowns would quit within the first few minutes.
So different from his usual banter.
Humble Bird told Wilkins both deserved to win.
Bird looks tired. I believe he was playing with pain during this game.
I wished I cloud be a cool as you
Bird may not be the best shooter of threes. Ain’t no doubt he’s the king of “dagger in the heart” threes.
😊
why he's called Larry Legend
Dude, way, way too much dead airspace. If nothing else, write an outline or script, but when it's just you, keep talking. The silence is deafening. Keep our interest.
Quote is not correct. The result was.
If u going to play ball shit
You kno in a react video you're supposedto - yaknow, react. Just "manface" shows you got nuthin. Just shaking your head is not gonna make anyone come back to watch zzzzzzzzzz
Nope can't watch this crap!🤮🤮🤮🤮
Let's see LeBron pull that shit off with bad feet, sick and shooting lefty. I'll take Bird all day long.
I am a Hoosier and was around the game in the 80s. I saw Bird in person from 3 feet a couple of times. He was much bigger than 6-9. I was around a 7 footer all the time who I went to school with. I know big when I see it. I don't know how tall he was. But he was not 6-9 he was huge in person.
I was in grade school and heard about bird,he was good.Him and magic then jordan propped that league up and thedeb people today dont have the same heart.
