If I could pick JUST ONE player out of every NBA player in history, to build a team around, it would be Bird. Perfect team player. All the skills you could want. Unlike today, there was never any drama or bickering with his teammates. Larry would do what was necessary for the TEAM. No selfishness. A motor second to none. Tough as nails. I can't think of another player, who was more clutch when it counted. I can't remember another player that would make the opposing team's fans feel so helpless. If he got the ball during a close game, you were jumping off the couch, yelling at the TV....because you KNEW he was going to hit the winning shot to beat your team. Dude was unbelievable.
Larry had no fundamental weaknesses and he created hall of famers just by being on his team. He made everyone immensely better.
I remember watching Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Karem Abdul Jabar in the late 70's and 80's. Now that was basketball.
What separates Larry for me is that he was telling everyone what he was going to do and they couldn't stop him in a era that was physical and you could hand check and pretty much hold somebody
Everytime I hear magics speech at Larry's retirement always makes my eyes tear up. The respect they had for each other was magical no pun intended.
The Pepsi commercials were the best.
Larry Bird was the clutchest player in NBA history and is in my all time starting 5! Bird is even 6-0 against Jordan in the playoffs!
How do I watch dozens of these videos and nobody blinks when Clayton says "the most viewed game in the history of basketball still to this day"?
A game before the eighties is still the most popular basketball game to happen, that's monstrous.
I had the pleasure of watching him play his entire career. I was 10 at the start of the 1980-81 season and 23 when he retired in 1993.
Bird was also the reason the 1986 Celtics often get called the Best Team OAT. Most unselfish basketball I've ever seen, just beautiful to watch. I'd recommend "1986 Boston Celtics tribute - the beautiful game" or I think the Making the Case guy also has a video on them.
"Who was that?" That was pistol Pete, definatley worth checking out. Oh, and jason Williams is another one worth digging into.
You should watch ALL of the "Making the Case" vids. He does one for teams too.
After watching those other ones tho, you realize larrys isnt nearly as in depth as the others. Its super annoying.
Bird definitely in the conversation as GOAT. I have him at #3 all-time.
Bird is a basketball genius
The Larry Bird-led Celtics thoroughly *owned* Michael Jordan and his Bulls in the postseason. 6 wins 0 losses. It wasn't until Bird retired in 92 that the Bulls dynasty took shape. No one was happier to see Bird retire than Jordan..
Larry Bird is the Real GOAT !
I would take a healthy Larry Bird over anybody - he did everything and made his teammates score and made them better. Look how fast Boston improved when they got him. They were in last place and after a year with Bird, they won the championship. How long did it take Jordan - that's right - a long time. It took Jordan a long time to understand how to get his team winning as a team. A healthy Bird is a very scary thing!
a healthy Bird also means without the jacked up shooting finger rookie signing.
Agreed . Tough as nails, scary and yet so fluid for a big guy
I hate when y’all speak on shit with zero context as to why. Jordan didn’t get the benefit being drafted to a historic franchise with elite college prospects coming in that turned into hall of famers in that span where he wasn’t winning. He was playing with role players and eventually young developing Scottie who took a few years to come into his own. It was jordan by himself vs a stacked conference filled with teams with 2-3 allstar players per team. Who was he supposed to beat by himself? Not even just jordan, but also Dom Wilkins and, and later on Barkley. How do u supposed jordan beat the Celtics with a collection of talent over the decade that included bird, Mchale, parish, DJ, Walton, Ainge. Or the stacked 76ers or the deep pistons. Not to mention solids squads with hof talent like the cavs and bucks. Y’all always find a way to throw an out of context shot a jordan while bigging up bird. For what?
@@TheIcemanthomas
After saying all that do you believe that a new to the league Micheal Jordan was making the players around him better? Bird could do that upon entering the league. Bird could do that in college. Ever heard of Bird's college teammates or the basketball program at Indiana State?
Larry Bird played for an Indiana State basketball program that had never been to the NCAA tournament. In 1979 Larry Bird's team is the #1 seed and lost in the finals to Magic's Michigan State team. Indiana State returned to the NCAA tournament in 2000. How many college players have accomplished anything comparable with that caliber of basketball program?
You are criticizing what people are saying without giving any credit to what they are saying. For what? They are not knocking Jordan. They are pointing to Bird's greatness.
@@lonelyb9661 very good point. MJ didn't know how to do it. He only cared about scoring it seems. He didn't have the immediate knowledge of the game like Bird.
You must look into all the injuries he was carrying throughout his whole career. It's mind boggling.
I watched that video. That's what makes the way he plays even crazier.
Larry is understood and underrated because of it.
legend
One thing this video doesn't go into, and I don't think Larry would want him to, but Larry had been injured in his hand (a severely messed up finger) before signing with the Celtics and essentially broke his back in '86 building a driveway for his mom and spent rest of his career battling pain that ultimately ended his career and according to his teammate never took anything for the pain.
He would spend many games lying on his stomach on the sidelines until it was time for him to go into the game.
THERE ARE OTHER HIGHLIGHTS ON LARRY HERES A COUPLE (BEST PASSER ----BEST TRASH TALKER) ALSO THE 5 TIMES LARRY BIRD PLAYED HURT AND REFUSED TO QUIT, IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW MANY INJURIES HE HAD AND STILL PLAYED AT A HIGH LEVEL
AND Rookie of the Year
One thing about all the G.O.A.T. contenders is they all generally were team lifers, Magic with Lakers, Larry with Celtics, Jordan with Bulls pre retirement, Kobe with the Lakers, Duncan with the Spurs. Very few are not.
Another notable thing about Bird was the arena was sold out for his retirement, THERE WAS NO GAME THAT NIGHT! I honestly don't think you can call anyone the GOAT at this time, you are splitting hairs and if that is what is needed to do it's a moot point, a GOAT should be able to stand apart from the rest.
I love Pete's videos however as he does an amazing job keeping to facts and showing less tangible things.
don't forget Dirk. 1998 - 2019 Mavericks
That's the thing it's only Jordan that's stands out on his own
You gotta see the video "Larry Bird most amazing passer re-edit" you will be amazed at how crazy the passing is not only by Larry but the whold Celtics team!!!
Larry Bird 🐦
Great video. He really does "Make the Case" for Larry Bird. I grew up watching all those guys mentioned in the video. But, the final straw for me was Magic Johnson at the end telling Larry Bird that he was the greatest player ever! I'm convinced! Are you kidding me? 1 steal away from a quadruple double? WOW. His all around talent in every aspect of the game was phenomenal. Did you see some of those passes? Who does that nowadays? Just WOW. Thanks for sharing this video.
You should check out the HBO documentary Magic and Bird A Courtship of Rivals. It's an amazing story and you won't regret it.
1. Injuries on his shooting hand, his fingers got messed up in a baseball game with his brother.
2. Bad back from laying a driveway alone for his mother.
3. Bad feet and two surgeries....
Now imagine what he could have done with no injuries..... dude is a legend.... Larry Legand
He didn't even mention Bird was the creator of the 50/40/90 club....
The Celtics and the Lakers of the Bird and Magic era were like the Red Sox and the Yankees. Larry and Magic were great rivals and great friends. It was an amazing time. I can't watch basketball any more because Larry Bird spoiled it for me. No one could play the way he played.
Dude I saw Magic play Bird in college in person. (I was an MSU fan). Their rivalry ended up with great respect for each other.
This reminds me of seeing Kirk Gibson and Rick Leach square off in a baseball game. It was in East Lansing (Gibson from MSU and Leach from UM)
Leach hit THREE HR's (including the GW) BUT their combined HR's accounted for ALL OF THE RUNS in that game.
The Michigan State crowd literally gave Ricky a standing ovation ( even though they lost)
Another thing not mentioned in the video is his win/loss impact on the celtics in his first year. One of the biggest ever by a single player. Boston won 29 games the year before Larry came and then won 60 in Bird's rookie year with almost the same exact team as the year before (mchale and parish had not come over yet). Then NBA Championship in year 2.
The 29 win team had an in his prime Hall of Famer for 20 games. Bob McAdoo went 4 and 16 with the same guys Bird won 61 games with.
Bird broke his cheek bone on that fall. He played hurt.
I think Larry Legend is the GOAT. Check out his trash talk videos, hilarious!
The answer is yes.
Respect for this guy. Before making a statement, investigate/research the question.
In beginning of video, he shows a clip of Pete Maravich. And asks, "who is this guy?"
In my opinion, if you don't recognize Maravich, or another great from a previous era, you lose credibility in any argument about a GOAT.
But, like I said, respect the fact this guy is doing his research before that judgement.
Larry Legend 🐐
You should hear what Isaiah Thomas has to say about that moment. He was watching Bird run to the line and thought to himself he's going out of bounds and he was watching him balanced on the line swinging his arms suspended at the line. He said to himself; "Man how is he doing that." Then Bird grabs the ball. He did pull off some unbelievable acts.
I'm white, grew up watching these guys. Loved Clyde Drexler, loved Bird, my cousin loved Jordan but I was always a underdog guy, he always went for who was the best. I say all this like that because that's how we seen it, Jordan was up there somewhere and everybody else was the underdog. Jordan is the GOAT, but with that said it wasn't like these other guys was miles behind, theres about 10 guys I can think of that are so close it would be measured in inches amongst miles. I hated when my cousin could rub his winners in my face, Jordan, Bo Jackson, Barry Bonds , but when you root for underdogs like I did I didn't have as much to brag about but when I won it was just sweeter
The guy at the beginning right before you asked "who is that?" was Pistol Pete. You should check him out! He was fantastic!
Please make more Larry bird. You are fresh and enjoyable to watch!

Larry, Magic and Jordan are the three greatest players of all time.
You place them however you see fit.
I cant decide.
I hated Larry. But only because he did not play for my team. He was scary good in the clutch. Awesome player ..
I take LARRY LEGEND over EVERYBODY 💯 💯 💯
check them all out!
The 60 pt game....he made one 3-pointer.
Would like to see more Larry Bird? Great reaction! New subscriber!

Always love your reactions and I love this video. Looking forward to this!! 🤘🏻
If you haven't seen the Larry Bird ultimate mixtape, you need to watch that....he's top 3-5 for sure....incredible
I was at that game just cause they blocked his last shot and it went off Celtics seconds left isiah got so excited like a kid who was gonna finally beat the mighty Celtics that instead of calling time out and calling a play to make sure they were all on the same page something a true veteran would have done but Larry sagged of his man just baiting isiah to throw it to the open which he tried bird stepped in front together the pass and the late great dj saw it coming and cuts to the hoop bird hits dj and he lays it I dont believe it you know what happened you got to play end and they forgot about Larry bird never give up play till the end and then all you hear is the city of Boston till the wee hrs of the morning Larry Larry Larry Larry Larry Larry Larry Larry
I loved your reaction ❤️
Nice reaction!! Greetings from Lima, Perú 🇵🇪
This was great!!! I remember those games!! Keep rockin' Cool!!
"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." - Pat Riley
shoutout to gunsmoke
In his prime Bird was as good as anybody who ever played the game. 🏀
🙄
You do realize that you’re not giving him a compliment right?
The BETTER way to say it: In his Prime Bird was BETTER than anybody who ever played
@@irishgrl I know you told me that a few times. But what you don't know is I'm I'm a lifelong Laker fan and I have to put Bird at number 3 all time behind Kareem and Magic so for a lifelong lifelong Laker who fan grew up hating Larry Bird, that's the greatest compliment I can give him. I'm giving the devil his due. 😁
Check making the case for larry being the best passer in the NBA ever
Bird and Johnson were the greatest players to ever play basketball! No doubt I couldn't pick the best because they were identical twins
things people are kind of limited to the players they grew up watching but take the case for George Mikan - they changed the rules and the court so that other teams would have a chance against him.
Watch Larry Bird trash talking videos. The man backed up every legendary word he spoke.
Could you imagine bird if he had a steph and klay?
Great video! I think you should watch the 1992 dream team story. It’s awesome
Watch Larry Bird greatest passer of all time video reedit. Well be worth it.
Dudes like Larry and Wilt would dominate today. So would Kareem. This soft league is perfect for Larry.
React to Rocky Marciano videos. Theres a 50 min video making a case as him basically being the underrated GOAT of boxing.
Man, I'm trying to go play Diablo but then I see this pop up and...
Edit: Bird was Rookie Of The Year, also.
"Larry Bird Almost Makes Player Commit Suicide" will have you 🤣🤣🤣
Watch ‘‘em all.
אם לאו יש לנו בעיות😁
Nice reaction. I would prefer the video's audio to be louder so I can hear what you are reacting to.
great reaction brah got a sub from me lb #33 goat
Bruh…do the Larry Bird trash talking!!!
All of his Making the Case videos are great! Check 'em all out for sure.
In the 80's you didn't even have to watch basketball to know that it was likely to come down to the Celtics or the Lakers. For 10 years they WERE the NBA. Yeah, the Sixers, Rockets and Pistons made things interesting but it was really just two teams and two players - Magic and Bird. Like the video said, the Lakers had more talent.
Still, in my opinion the best man to ever play the game was Jordan. I see his point about Bird and could maybe agree he is the most important man to ever play the game.
I love people who say it's a bold statement about bird being the goat when they know nothing but the players they've seen. Bird and mj are tied at #1. You would not know who LeBron and kobe was if it wasn't for bird & magic and that's facts. Not to mention LeBron would've had to do a mental check to play in that league. There was no flopping, there was no taking games off. Oh yeah, and there was physical defense where you could actually play the game as it was intended. Anyhow, glad you're taking time to learn. Larry would dominate these sisters playing now. Oh and he was also rookie of the year which this dude forgot.
A rel GOAT contender has the killer mind. Bird, Jordan, Magic, Kobe had it. Something that Lebron would never had.
@@deihorus7927 I don't see any lies in that statement.
18:07, nobody is perfect. He's a 3-point shooter that misjudged his position, he was on the line, if he had been behind it even a bit he would have had perfect range.
Yet if this was Lebron you would be saying he lacks killer instinct and is not clutch. Pathetic and disgusting.
he never had knee surgery it was bone spur surgery on his heels
Both his achilles tendons were ruptured, not spurs.
Pistol Pete
He's why lebron ain't in my top 3. Mj,Kobe, bird.
Show me a ring that MJ and Kobe won without Phil Jackson, or a ring Bird won without Red Auerbach. I’ll wait
If Isaiahs punk ass wouldn't of had A D traded most assuredly Dantley would of not only been in the conversation, but would of been the conversation! The Pistons absolutely would of won a couple more championships! POINT BLANK PERIOD.
Great reaction..
#1 MJ
#2 Larry
#3 Magic
#4 Lebron
#5 Kareem
Can you show me a ring Jordan won without Phil Jackson or Scottie Pippen respectfully?
50 great assists/passes
Larry was one of the ultimates but I'd never ever say he was or is the G.O.A.T. Celtics fans scream that but nope, never.
Lost all respect for him. My uncle was a HUGE fan. Went to a game. Kid in wheelchair wanted LB autograph. He told the kid he doesn't do free autographs; especially for ppl who can't even stand. We were in shock. Never liked him or Celtics since.
Trash talking king left that young kid with a memory that will last a life time. Autographs fade.
Biggest hit on Bird was he didn't last. Persistent injuries made what might have been the best career into a relatively brief one. Had he lasted another 5 or 6 years, maybe the Bulls don't have their amazing run and Michael seems a little lower.. No real way to know.
At the end of the day, I think all the GOAT arguments are stupid. The only thing that really needs to be said is that Lebron should not even be in the top 5 :) The ONLY thing Lebron's career has is longevity. He's almost never been at the top of ANY stat and the only teams he can win with are super teams. Time to start calling him what he is: B.B.O.A.T. (biggest bitch of all time).
Not the best. But should be in any top 5 of all time discussion.
Larry Bird is the number One
Jordan never beat him in the playoffs
No he's the best white player there is
