LeBron SUPERFAN Reacts To Larry Bird ULTIMATE Mixtape IN DISBELIEF
#larrybird #larrybirdreaction #nba #highlights #reaction #explorepage #viral #fyp #viralvideo
Bird is incredible. There has never been anyone like him. I don't think anyone compares. Nobody has ever played at his level with the injuries Bird had. He's the GOAT.
Larry's the only one to ever earn Player of the year, Coach of the year and Executive of the year. His basketball IQ is sky high.
Thanks for watching
On my list, Larry is ALWAYS #1, and that'll never change!
I was at the Pacers playoff game. Larry came back with a fractured cheek and a mild concussion. He snuck past the doc to get back on the floor. That's when men played the game.
Thanks For Watching
He also chugged a beer with double vision b4 returning. & what a return in the Pacers game. He didn't talk to a coach or teammate. Went, crouched unbuttoned his jacket & subbed in. Game over!
I remember watching it on tv. (I'm from indiana originally.) I didn't know who to cheer for, Pacers, or another hoosier Larry Bird. lol
You are 100% correct. Bird is in the top 5 all day long.
There was no game the night of Bird's retirement. They had standing room only in Boston Garden that night. The steal against Detroit was in game 5 of the playoffs when the Bad Boys were on the rise and is still the greatest play I've seen anyone make, I knew that game and the series were over but, Larry. He just played the game better fundamentally than anyone else to this day.
The untold part of the story when he broke his cheek bone, is that Bird did not even know if he would be able to play that night. Back pain was so severe, he could barely put on his uniform. Also, the hit on the floor gave him a concussion, in addition to the broken cheek. After all of that, he came back out and led the Celtics to another win.
Thanks for watching
Very True. He spent the night before the game in the hospital in traction, because of the back issue. Back to the hospital after the game also.
Bird was the best all around player ever. He had no weaknesses. And he was elite in several categories. Best passer in history? He’s in the convo. Best trash talker? He’s in the convo. Top tier 3 point shooter, great rebounder, great hustle, great at involving the whole team, great at psyching opponents out of their games, he could do all the little things that win games as well as dominate on the court when he wanted to. Bird played only about 12 years of a 13 season career, so his overall stats don’t jump at you, but his game and season averages do.
Thanks for watching
The only thing I would disagree with is the trash talking. He's the clear winner in that category. An absolute savage! 😂
I was at that game when Larry made that game winning shot against the Detroit Pistons
The more you watch him, the more you realize he was the complete package. For the complete player and hussle, he has to be top 3 for sure. I think he is the GOAT 🐐!
Thanks for watching
He’s uploaded this like 5 times
🐐 He & Magic launched the NBA. Mad respect. Got me hooping as a kid. David Robinson another great that doesnt get credit he deserves.
Thanks for watching
Larry is top 5 hands down if you say otherwise you are either a hater or don’t know basketball
💯
This is what I love.. the respect that Larry and Magic had for each other.. just says it all.. And they're still friends to this day.. Magic said Larry was one of the first ppl he called when he was diagnosed with HIV.. Larry stood by him.. That's just amazing to me because back then.. HIV was a death sentence and everyone was scared of it. He left the game with no scandals and with the respect of his peers.. That's a career.
He a ha great career
What most people miss is that when Bird came back Into the game, he came back with a broken eye socket. He literally broke bones in his skull and kept playing. You do t see that kind of grit anymore.
MY MAN YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH A LEGEND WATCH THAT MAN BALL
Definitely did
Larry was the guy who stayed after every practice to shoot 100 more shots before going home. He dribbled the entire Boston Garden floor in a gridded pattern to find and map any soft spots in the floor to use to his advantage. His basketball IQ was truly off the charts. He played basketball like Pete Rose played baseball. Neither of them was terribly athletic so they worked so much harder to make up for any physical shortcomings. They were always two steps ahead of the play. As Julius Irving said, "Bird just always seemed to be in the right place at the right time". And he did and that was never an accident
When he banged his face on the floor, he broke his cheek and got a concussion, they say he even lost consciousness briefly. When he came back out, he was seeing two rims and had to figure out which was the real one. And he still led his team back for the win. Kobe’s the only other guy I can think of in that realm, playing hurt under any circumstances.
Thanks for watching
He knew where everyone was at all times and had the no look pass down
Thanks for watching
Out of all the categories in basketball,Larry Bird is in the top 10 . No other player has come close
You're right Larry Bird does not get no credit for being the goat in any generation
Most definitely the to 10.. and back in the day when he was healthy.. top 5.. He came back in that one game with a facture of the right cheekbone.. and I've heard Robert Parrish say.. never seen that man take more than a Tylenol for pain. That's grit and love of your sport. Dedication. I can't think of any sport in today's times that player have that grit.
Definitely top 10 maybe even top 5 ❤️ thanks for watching
I'm from Boston and we got to watch Larry Bird from the beginning - he is the GOAT! There's no one like him. When he hit his face on the floor, he came back out from the locker room with a concussion and a fractured cheekbone. Hustle, grit, amazing bball IQ - he'd never quit - ever. He's number 1 in my book now and always!
There will never be another Bird and Magic ever... EVER
Never
Larry legend is the goat 🐐
Thanks For Watching
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️
Watch some Allen Iverson. Barely 6 foot, 160 pounds battling Shaq, Malone, all the head hunters. Dude would go into the game with his elbow wrapped up like a football. No injury management or whatever. Imagine if the Sixers actually gave him some dependable teammates.
Thanks for watching
Every skill for team play that's not volume or longevity, prime Larry Joe Bird was top-10 all-time. Sure, he wasn't a top-10 dunker, a top-10 lock-down defender or a top-10 shot blocker, but he is still top-10 for making sure the ball gets through the hoop and a top-10 team defender. His vision, reading, hustle, creativity and selflessness along with his elite fundamentals made him a threat anywhere on the court and gave his teammates that much more space to do their jobs.
Larry Legend is easily in my top five.
☘️🏆
Another vastly underrated player you should consider is Mark Price.
He's not going to be in a Top 50 conversation anytime soon, but Price was a baller cut from the same cloth as Bird.
Bird was the smartest player to ever play! The most important thing about Bird was that he made the toughest shot look easy! He had so many game winning shots, they is nobody even close.
Bird, MJ, Kobe and Bill Russell - Top 5 Killer Instinct
Thanks For Watching
Thank you for calling ppl out for saying Larry wasn't athletic.. just watch his videos.. the man was everywhere.. the supposed slow, chubby, white dude was making it happen.. I just watched an interview with Magic.. he didn't believe a white guy could play that well.. till he played against him.. he said I called my family and friends and said.. this man can play basketball.
He definitely was athletic it’s crazy
Magic and Bird are incredibly close friends. They became friends while shooting a shoe commercial together.
You should check out video on Larrys passing, injuries and trash talk. There are also videos covering the rivalry between him and Magic and how they pretty much saved the NBA.
Thanks For Watching
When Magic was diagnosed with HIV, so so so many people turned on him. Other basketball players made all kinds of outrageous claims, his own teammates didn't want him around. But Bird was one of the few friends who stuck with him, stayed by his side. Every time I've seen Magic talk about that, he breaks down, calling Bird one of his few true friends.
It was a lot rougher game back then. Guys didn't give up layups like they do now, instead he would get planted on his ass and shoot two free throws. Now if you get within 3 feet of Doncic or LeBron they send him to the free throw line. It was a more fun game back in the Bird-Johnson, and towards the end, Jordan, era.
It was definitely rough bad in the day
Never thought I'd see anyone like Larry Bird, but Luka Doncic feels like I'm watching Bird all over again.
Definitely a fact
Bird"s retirement ceremony was interesting because it was not a game day, yet the arena was completely packed.
I watched him ever since he was a rookie in the NBA
I appreciate you and your reaction. Keep it up.
Thanks for warning I really appreciate that ❤️
Bird had many injuries and played in constant pain. He permanitaly injured his back while shoveling gravel in his mother's driveway at the height of his career. He promised her a new driveway. He could have paid for it but he wanted to do it himself.
He was a legend
I’ve been saying this for years, “it’s not trash talking if you back it up “!
Wonderful reaction
Thanks for watching
Top 3
Top 2. Only Wilt was better.
I think it was Parish who said Bird's vert was over 30 inches early in Bird's career. Some website says it was 28 inches. It's probably somehere around 28 to 30. He also apparently had a 7'3 wingspan.
Nice reaction to the GOAT bro!
That steal and pass to win was at the end of an Eastern Conference Final game.
His insane basketball IQ aside. You hit it imo. He worked his ass off. A lot of really athletic players depend on that and not developing their skills like they should.
Thanks for watching
Good luck on your journey to 100k. Great reaction. I'm here for it!
Anyone who says Bird isn't Top 10 all time is clueless about basketball. Personally, if I could select my all-time starting 5, he's there. Not only was he absolutely great as a scorer, passer, and defender, but one thing that sets him apart is that he made everyone else on the court so much better.
Here's a few stats to tell you what he was during his prime. For eight consecutive years, he finished first or second in the league MVP voting. No one else has ever done that. He won the award three times.
One stat people don't know that says it all -- the season before Bird joined the Celtics, the team was 29-53. His first season they were 61-21, with no significant changes in personnel, other than Bird.
He is the only man to win MVP, Coach of the Year, and GM of the Year. He also had two championship series MVPs (three titles), won the first 3 three-point contests but didn't compete any more after that. During his prime, before the back and Achilles injuries occurred, he was probably one of the three greatest players to ever walk on hardwood.
Thanks for watching
@@ytkgaming1665 You're welcome, I enjoyed it.
The rivalry was real. When the Lakers played the Celtics, for that night everyone was a Lakers fan or a Celtics fan. Their games were that good.
Thanks for watching
There’s only one reason he’s overlooked.
Thanks for watching
He went back in with a fractured cheek
That’s insane
Gamer, best adjective i have for him.
Thanks for watching
I love watching reactions to Larry Bird's ultimate mixtape, the video itself never fails to give me goosebumps and even gets me tearing up at the end! I also like your analysis, and agree- he definitely is underrated and needs to be appreciated more, especially by the current generation! Personally, I never watched him play live (I started liking/watching/playing basketball around 2003 when I was a freshman in HS (the 2000s was an amazing era btw), so I'm not too much older than you. However, thanks to the internet, I was able to watch his highlights and of course check out his stats. It would've been awesome to be able to see him live! One of the craziest things is that Larry played injured for most of his career, and was still able to put up insane numbers, win several championships, MVPs, etc. He was also an above average athlete as you mentioned, especially in the first half of his career. He was an above average defender as well (averaged 1.7 SPG, 0.8 BPG which are great numbers for a forward). He was also an amazing passer, and averaged 6.3 APG in his career, which is impressive considering the era he played was relatively low scoring. Speaking of scoring, he averaged 24.3 PPG, which is amazing, on top of that- 10.0 RPG! Although he wasn't a volume 3 pt shooter (no one really was back then), he hit 37.6% from 3 which was great, and 88.6% FT, which is elite. If he played in this era, he would easily average numbers similar to what Luka is doing- averaging a triple double with at least 35 PPG! Anyway, thanks for the reaction! Btw, my fav player growing up was Andrei (AK47) Kirilenko, you should react to his highlights! He was an elite defender and really good overall player, and destroyed the stereotype of white guys not being athletic and just being shooters lol, he was the opposite- super athletic and an average shooter. He definitely surprised the league when he came in!!
Larry Bird is one of the best small forwards in NBA history. Him and Magic Johnson were not athletic, but their basketball IQ and court vision was high and gave them to the ability to compete an dominate against the athletic players. Nikola Jokic is a guy very similar to them.
Bird's vertical was exactly the league average and the same as Karl Malone's, yet no one ever says the Mailman can't jump.
That’s crazy
Watch his passing game, then watch Clark... They look so alike it's striking
Bird was fairly athletic & would dunk till 86 & his 1st bad back injury. Probably since he played most every game & playoff to ring. In 87 he could no longer dunk. In 88 he had heel spurs & vs Bad Boys injured BOTH Achilles that required surgery 9 games in 89.
To really understand Bird you have to watch full game because he did do everything on both ends of court. Screens & picks but really watch how he used Iq & a bit of dirty play (elbow, butt bumpa jersey grab) to get rebounds. He averaged more rebounds than Ewing! 1st 60/40/90 player ever. Bird & Magic have highest win % ever still. In 86 the Celtics won 50 of 51 home games including playoffs!
Thanks for watching ❤️
The only one to win MVP coach of the year and executive of the year
Thanks for watching
Thanks! You're doing great!
Thanks you much appreciate ❤️
I played basketball for many years I gave 110% Just Like Larry Bird did
Bird is my choice for GOAT! He beat everyone! The thing I love most about Bird is he would tell you what he's gonna do then do it with the other team trying to stop him lol 😅
He was definitely great
Some coach once said something like, if I had to choose 1 person to take a shot to win the game it's Michael Jordan. If he had to choose 1 person to take a shot for his life it's Larry Bird.
Pat Reilly
We used to joke that he can't even jump up onto the edge of a piece of paper, but basketball is about shooting.
People skip over him because he’s white. People that say he isn’t too 10 also say Eminem can never be the greatest.. they’re not shy about saying it because he’s white.
#1 Bird
#2 MJ
#3 Kareem
#4 Tim Duncan
#5 David Robinson
#6 Steve Nash
#7 Kobe
#8 Hakeem
#9 Magic Johnson
#10 Pete Maravich
You should watch this again and listen to all that is being said.
Thanks for watching
Defense might have been the weaker part of his game, and Bird may not have been fast enough to go 1 on 1 against some of the really athletic guys, but he was still 3 time All Defense, and to this day is 5th or 6th in defensive win shares. He was amazing at reading the offense, disrupting plays, picking off passing routes, etc... He averaged double digit rebounds playing heads up with Kareem, Hakeem, Lambeer, Rodman, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, etc... That's the weak part of his game. Anybody who doesn't have have him in their top five all time is nuts.
Thanks for watching
There are several things most younger people do not know about Larry Bird that affected his career, but he still put in the effort to be considered in the GOAT conversation just because he ONLY knew how to give everything he had every time he played. When Bird graduated college after his senior year he was injured ( something with his shooting hand ) playing a pickup baseball game that summer so even before he played his first game for Boston that injury affected his shooting and he worked on his game so it would be the best he could be. Bird won ROTY his first season in the league and helped Boston improve their record by over 20 games from the season before and they made the playoffs. Bird lead Boston to the first of his 3 championships the next season. During the off season in 1985 Bird injured his back severely physically doing the work himself to help his mother have a new driveway installed at the family home back in French Lick, IN and that injury would affect his game for the rest of his career yet his stats still increased every year for the next several years, he won 3 consecutive MVP awards ( only 3 other players ever won it 3 years in a row ), he won the first ever 3 point shooting contest held at the All Star games and won it the next two years after that. He was the founding member of the 50, 40, 90 club with over 50% shooting from the field, 40% from the 3 point line and 90% from the foul line.and he did that for 4 straight seasons.
Larry always knew where his team mates were at any given point during the game many times without even having to look because he would make many passes to a spot hitting them for open baskets. The story of the left handed game was just one of the many many things Larry did to challenge himself when he played to motivate himself to play harder in games. He would constantly talk trash to the other teams players and coaching staff telling them during time outs where he was going to get the ball and what he was going to do with it and they could still not stop him. Larry was 6 - 0 in playoff games against Michael Jordan. It took the Detroit Pistons three straight tries to beat Boston in the Eastern Conference playoffs and reach the NBA Finals. Personally to me Larry Bird was the king of the shit shot, that meant he could literally throw up anything from almost any angle at the basket and it would somehow go in when he needed it to most. Lebron James may have more championships and more career points than Larry Bird simply because he has played at least 7 - 8 more seasons and never had the injuries Bird had and Bird still has a higher winning percentage than James. Larry's big rival during his career was Magic and Magic ended his career with a slightly higher win percentage by about 1/10 of a percentage and that was after he played 3 more years than Bird and that 1/10th of a percentage point amounts to about 10 games and of his 13 seasons Larry only played 6 games of the 1988-89 season ( his 10th ) after he had surgery on both feet because of bone spurs in his heels.
Larry would dominate in today's much less physical league and would have been able to play far longer with today's medical advancements and NOBODY has ever had a mind for the game like him before or since he played. He could do everything in the game as a player, shooting, rebounding, passing and even defense. Larry Bird, regardless of if you think of him as the GOAT was aa great player.
Wow Thanks For Watching
Not 6-0 in games, but series..because two years straight, the Bulls got swept..and during ‘89..MJ’s MVP year..Jordan won a regular season game, but lost the rest, and was 1-4 against the Pistons with Laimbeer and Isiah ..but to win 3 straight MVP’s and not be in the conversation for GOAT?Freaking insane..I’m from Kansas so I was always a Wilt guy..he went to Kansas..and the man who invented basketball was our first coach..James Naismith is buried in Lawrence, Kansas beside his wife..(1939)..and the original Ten Rules of Basketball…valued at over $14 Million..are safely behind glass in a building next door to Allen Field House…but Bird was always my backup go to favorite, and Naismith would have said Bird was the ultimate team player…one thing we stress the most at KU..fitting into a team first environment…anywhere else, they are stars..at Kansas…they win..and play together…
no bird was never the most athletic. . . but alot of the 'unathletic' talk comes from the back half of his career. . but alot of people didnt realize he more or less broke his back and then went on and rupture both achilles.. injuries robbed us of a prime bird. . and unfortunatly health also took away ended a prime magic too
He was different 💯
Imagine if Bird had of swapped teams like LeBron, he would have 12 rings, but he played for 1 team only. FULL STOP.
Good job man. I subbed. 👊🏻
Thanks for watching much appreciated
Love the Bird reactions another you will enjoy is Pistol Pete.
Thanks for watching definitely will check him out
Goat table.
💯
27 points, left handed, in 3 QUARTERS!
Thanks for watching
And a 47 point triple double in that game, hitting the tying buzzer beating shot to send it to OT, and another buzzer beater in OT for the win.
Awesome reaction bro
Thanks for watching
@ytkgaming1665 he won mvp 3 years in a row and was runner up 6 years and 4th in voting 1 year out of 10 years stretch
Unfortunately you spoke over the announcer saying that Bird had sustained a fractured cheek and yet he came back and played with no mask like they do now.
You want to build your channel do some reactions on Caitlin Clark with the Indiana fever.
I’ll try it thanks for watching
If Bird isn’t in anyone’s top 5 then they just don’t know…
Thanks for watching
I've always wished I was as unathletic as Bird before his leg and back injuries took their toll
I always say if you put together a basketball team that would be considered the greatest of all time one of the five players would always be Larry Bird.
If Larry was non athletic, then what's everyones excuse for getting beat up so badly on court? The logic doesn't add up. That was a descriptive given to Larry by fans that were upset their favorite player or team got torched. Repeatedly. You don't have to be fast if you're that good.
Thanks for watching
Bird played the last half of his career with literally a broken back.
Bird would live rent free in LeBrons head
Who would win 1v1?
#1- Jordan #2-Russell #3- Bird/Magic
It is a tragedy that there just aren't enough footage of guys like Larry and Magic. Or Kareem for that matter. You kids have no clue how incredible it was to watch Larry's Celtics and Magic's Lakers clash in real time in the 80s. You kids probably grew up practicing Lebron or KD's moves, we grew up mimicking the SkyHook, Bird's over the head shooting forms, and Magic's no look passes. Bird is a top 5 all time player, and in my book, the #1 forward of all time.
Bro. One more larry bird ultimate mixtape reaction and i think you win a set of steak knives. 😂 ive watched at least 75% of them though; so, go on and get your views my man.
Thanks man I’m just tryna be great 😭❤️
Come on, man. You gotta stop this.
@@ytkgaming1665when Bird's head hit the floor in the game against the Pacers it fractured his right cheek and gave him a concussion. The night before that game he spent in the hospital in traction for his back. His teammates said he struggled getting dressed to play that night. Check out the 5 times Larry Bird was injured but refused to quit and the 4 times Larry Bird was hurt but showed toughness. The injuries are mind blowing. One they don't mention in either video is his first practice his sophomore year he broke his ankle in two places and tore the ligaments in it. While spending weeks on crutches he learned to shoot left handed during practice. He's just an amazing person. Nobody else like him. The more you learn the more you admire him.
That's what I was thinking, he posts the exact same reaction all the time and says that he's watching "in disbelief" even though he's seen the video like 25 times ...lol
LeFraud Shames can't compare.
😂
The way you did this video just earned a sub from me.
🙏 Thanks
You're welcome
I love how much you appreciate his hustle and determination. Unfortunately for Bird it was his downfall. His body took so many beatings in those days
Top 3: MJ, Kobe (MJ Lite), Bird.
Not even room for debate.
Larry Bird is a god.
Thanks!
re todays game. imo it’s about liability as well as conserving star players rather than lessen their playing years
legend’s court awareness and IQ makes him my 🐐 above the others. they may appear stronger and showmanship, he did everything they did but smooth. they seem faster, he was fast if he needed to be but he didn’t. he pretty much controlled the pace. there was nothing he couldn’t do. pass shoot defend intimidate and and and. his mental and physical strength applied to playing with serious injuries his whole career. again, my 🐐 🍀
I love how ya said about Magics respect for Bird
But they are Brother's
And there's alot of love there
When Magic found out he had HIV
Larry called him
What do you need brother
Last of the great players
Much appreciated thanks for watching
Larry is top 3, maybe the GOAT. His passing was phenomenal. 3 times consecutive MVP. Only 2 other players have ever done that. Coach of the year and Executive of the Year. 11 times all-star team. And many more major awards. To me, Bird is the GOAT. Oh, Jordan was 0-7 against Bird in the playoffs. LeBron couldn't carry Larry's jock.
When Larry was injured in the Pacer game, he had a fractured right cheek bone and a concussion but game back to beat the Pacers.
old school was no blood no foul
It was very rough
I got him ahead of Lebron cause of his shooting ability, hustle and heart. Just my opinion.. Nice reaction 🎉
He could defend. 3 time DOY.. he could bound.. over 20 many times, he did everything
She had a real bad accident before he started the NBA he was already drafted But he never let nobody know until years after he was already in the n b all twelve years he was playing with an injured back
You got my sub.
Much appreciated
