Athleticism aside, I think Larry Bird is the best pure basketball player who ever lived.
Because he had something that you don’t find in the most physically gifted players and that’s heart and passion for the game!
He seemed pretty athletic to me.
He was pulling rabbits out his ass bouncing up and down the court.
Theres going to be sacrifices made if your going master all trades.
Another thing nobody mentions is the difference of the technology and quality of filming now.
I really would love to see modern ball filmed using the same tech from the 80s.
Even if you put filters to make it look old now it was still captured by some shit were you can see a bead of sweat drip in real time. 🤔
His lack of athleticism was a myth. Before injury forced him to change his game, Larry would have contested dunks on bigger men, in traffic.
Larry was a true 6’9” if you are that big with hoop skills athleticism just makes you better than MJ
@@mannyneva1760
I’ve heard it said he was actually 6’10”. He’s visibly taller than Magic, who is also listed at 6’9”…
I remember when I wen t to see this guy play back in the day at Madison Square Garden when the Celtics played my team, the Knicks. Some of the things Bird did would make your jaw drop. As we exited the building after the game, you could see and hear people mutter under their breath, "That damn Larry Bird. Damn..." LOL.
Omg I could only imagine!
Was on the opposite end, grew up just outside of Boston. Spent many nights at the Garden watching Larry and the Celtics play. Golden age of B-ball for sure.
You kept your eye on Bird at all times. Didn't matter if he didn't have the ball on offense, you still see him working. On Defense he was deadly off the ball. I remember the plays he did where you had wait for the replay to see actually what happened.
If you're a Knicks fan you probably remember him finishing off the Knicks in the playoffs, he was like 15-20 from the field and after the game, Knicks coach Hubie Brown said he killed us with his defense.
The first man of the 50 - 40 - 90 Club.
Big Larry Bird fan. His trash talking vids are way awesome 😃
Yea I know I reacted to a couple you should check them out!
@@RobSportsCenter Yes sir. Will do.
Rob I think you nailed it. I watched him play his entire career and every game he was 100 percent committed. Also I had no idea all the physical things he had to deal with. Keep the great content going! Wish you the best.
Yessir thanks for your time and support!
The more ya put down Larry , the more it pours into his skill-set ! He'd kick your ass whether he cant jump...cant run.... in the end & trust me..i LIVED this... The Celt's win. lol
And let's not forget....Larry played with a bad back for 6 years. He's the best ever, period.
Good call on calling out discrediting Birds lay up game.
He could do it all.
Overall I like the vid but I didn’t like how he was trying to make it seem as if bird wasn’t a good finisher!
@@RobSportsCenter The one thing not mentioned in the guy's video was Bird's clutch moments. And the one thing Bird's numbers don't ALWAYS show is that he more times than not made shots when they were needed, towards the end. I know, not always but a good number times. And with him, it wouldn't always be a "score" when needed.
I saw, on TV, the NCAA tourny at the time, then the final game, Michigan vs Indiana, both State. Of course, Michigan had the Much better TEAM. Funny thing was, I wasn't impressed with Magic at the time. I liked his teammate, Greg Kelsar, better and thought he would be the guy to go far, not Magic. "All Magic does is throw lobs to the guy. But the guy can DUNK!" lol I was young.
Yea Bird was by far one of the most lethal clutch shot makers the game has seen!
@@RobSportsCenter yea you could tell there was some salt for taste.
@@RobSportsCenterThat dude is a clown... cant take anyone serious throwing salt at Larry Bird game smh
Another good choice Rob. I saw this video awhile back so my memory on his math will be sporadic at best, but more generalizing. His math formula is suggestive. He's using a denominator to get the results he wants. He also contradicts himself. I do remember looking up Larry's playoff points compared to his regular season average. They were pretty much the same in points assists and rebounds. In the finals against the Rockets Bird averaged 24 points 9.7 rebounds and 9.5 assists that is sooo close to a triple double for the Finals!! Game 6 Larry had 29 pts. 11 rbs and 12 assists. The number guy is trashing Birds playoff success because all he's looking at is numbers. Against the Pistons in 1988, Bird had terrible playoff numbers. But what's not on the score sheet is Bird had bone spurs in both feet and his back trashed. Of course Bird wouldn't let anyone know. Every other player on the planet would not have played. They wouldn't be able to walk. The Legend had surgery on both feet and missed the 1989 season.
His heart and passion was like no other! Players in today’s league could never
No, it is not a tall tale. Bird was predominantly a right-handed shooter. He had a strong left hand, but was not fully ambidextrous. There was no game in his entire career in which he had as many left-handed points as that Blazers game, so for it to be uniquely coined a “left-handed game” is accurate.
Great and so true,I mean he called it, I never saw Bird use his Left and unless he made a play to use it,and looks totally ambidextrous wheypassing with left hand but this came from a work ethic I’ve never seen before or after, but when he had to use it or meant to- he usually made a lot of NBA players (NBA PLAYERS-Yep) look foolish-Not most explosive,fast, or leapedr but his court vision, positioning in both O and D rebounds,absurd assists,good defense and EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION ON THE COURT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE! All around- The Legend, most dynamic and scoring/defense-MJ,Best point -Magicwith a close second to Stockton, greatest defense, blocked shots at center Russell but Kareem a close second, and last but not least-Powr Forward-Lebron James- My top 5-Mark Sharbono
pointing out a flaw in Bird's game is like spotting a pimple on Halle Berry's ankle... you really gotta look hard to find something wrong.
👍
Excellent reaction, you know the Game & it shows. Thank you

His defender will anticipate his next move bird has this IQ he would counter his defenders anticipation and capitalize it
One of a kind!
I agree with you Rob , the narrator talking like bird can’t do a simple lay up buy all these other great abilities, he still a goat, anyhow not only a great ball player but a great guy too🇺🇸👍🏼
I’m not thrilled with this guy’s analysis…while he says much that is true, and some that is positive, I think he has a bias AGAINST Bird….
Yes this is a video about Birds GOAT candidacy, but he dings Larry unfairly in my opinion, by showing a few missed layups as if that were representative of Larry’s layup performance, and it most certainly is NOT. As you watch more of his videos you see he MAKES those layups, and he does it in traffic! Reverse layups too. Larry said himself he was into degree of difficulty, and took (and MADE) those impossible shots BECAUSE they were impossible!
Just trust your EYES. Larry passes the EYE TEST. I firmly believe Larry was one of a kind. Could do it all, from anywhere, against ANYONE.
Yea I didn’t like how he glorified those few misses either!
@@RobSportsCenter
Right after I posted that you paused the video & said the same basic thing I wrote 😂 it was great!
yeah didnt like this vid at all, but he his negative to all he covered up but by larry he made some Mistakes and are to harsh and looked more to his last 3 years of his career than his whole.
He also says bird didn’t do as well against great defenses. I’d wager that is probably true of almost every player?
actually i seen a lot of bird games (full) and it's true, he does miss some weird bunnies.
Bird game was never about being the most athletic. It was about being 4 or 5 moves ahead of everybody else in the chess match. I grew up watching him, and hands down if I had to pick some one to start a team, it would be really hard for me not to pick Bird over MJ. You could flip a coin and either guy is going to get you a ring.
I'd take Bird first because he will elevate each subsequent pick.

Anyone who was there watching the games back then knows that all players tried to avoid contact in the paint as much as possible, because the refs would generally swallow the whistles especially late in the games.
Larry Lagend was the FOUNDING Member of the 50-40-90 %'s club..... 50FG% 40% 3pnt & 90 FT %
Who is the best at their best? Everyone is unstoppable when in the zone. The real question is what % of their total play was a player in a zone.
Ya & He played CENTER in College.
Yes let’s do magic
I will most definitely get that reaction out!
He was the greatest all around player that ever hit the court-assists rebounds, scoring 3 pointer but the biggie to me , I wish they would have kept last second shots for the win , tie, or to go into OT- In his era he hit more game winning tiring, go into OT B( BY FAR THAN ANYONE IN THELEAGUE, USUALLY DOUBLE TEAMED AND HARD , hard shots, not bunnies/ and 3”-50% of the time letting the opposition where, how, and the move he’d make daring them to try and stop him- remember this is with Jordan, pippin, Magic,K.Malone,, George Gervin, Stockton, Bernard King, Dr.J,, Moe Cheeks, even (although the last 2 years in the league with Pistol Pete Maravich)-,there’s so many great outside shooters instead this time in the league , I ‘de have to type till my arm fell off, but probably the most impressive of all to myself is his ability to make each and everyone of his teammates, the Chief and Mchale both laughed when they said if it weren’t for Larry and the unselfish, sometimes unbelievable passes they’d have only scored 50% of the total points their both credited for, but both men as you could tell were Laughing at his greatness which was awe-inspiring,,Bird once said he would rather get a great assist than score himself, ha ha, as long as he got the last shot!! LOL

@@RobSportsCenter 🏀 my comment was a year ago but your hustle is duly noted & on point 👍
Like the announcer ever teed it up with human wreckers in the box. Even the greatest can't be perfect/miss shots etc.
Larry legend is top 5 dead or alive. The clutch gene
He is most definitely in my top 5!
Some days Larry wood shoot 800 Jumpers per day.... from 1 spot , if He thought it was weaker than his other shots. Dedication....max!

You guys in your generation got sold this myth that the game is so much more athletic. Its really not, but what it lacks, are teams built with no weakness.
The Bulls were the first team to win consistent rings without a presence in the middle. The original small ball and length team.
Larry was a glue stick for a world champ. Whatever was needed, is what he would do. That could change as the game unfolded. Multiple times.
He was easily one of the smartest players without the ball. With the ball he was an assassin.
I can say todays game has more individual athletes, but 100% not as many great players. You could be a great athlete back then, and not even last a year in the NBA. See Harold Minor.
The people who made their name in the 80s and 90sran the gambit from athletic to smart, but they were all great players. All athletes aren't great players.
And even with the argument that today's NBA is more athletic, Michael Jordan is still clearly the best athlete to ever grace an NBA court. You can watch 5 minutes of any of his highlight reels and get that.
We most definitely was but I truly understand how the game was now!
20:30 360 behind the back pass
Pretty cool
Rob, watch Massachusetts School of Law at Andover. When The Game Was Ours Sept. 10, 2010 The Best explanation of Larry and Majic--explains all your questions. I watched it twice.
Ok I will check it out!
Lol another reason he didn't spend more time on the free throw line is in the NBA you don't really want to put a 98+% shooter on the line.
Aye rob you should react to some prime kevin garnett highlights, dude was basically the giannis of the 2000’s yet he also had a kd like midrange shot
I will get that reaction out!
As the numbers went down. So did Birds body. Look up injury at same time
the original maker of the video seems to be more about numbers than winning, a HUGE mistake with Bird, Michael Jordan scored 63 against the Celtics in a playoff game, BUT STILL LOST the game. Larry was NEVER a "look at me player" like that .... he was the all time CLUTCH player that looked for the WIN .... You CAN NOT summarize Larry Bird just talking about shooting ability .

I’ve seen him throw it down w two hands on bigs tho
Larry bird is the best basketball player ever if he wasn't other NBA players wouldn't be talking about him still Larry was a complete basketball player 20 times better he wasn't a show off on dunk's or 3 point shot's the youngster of today think all the other NBA players have skills like Jordan Kobe magic I can name more for what even Chris Mullen was way better than a lot of NBA players these guys didn't bring there personal life or racism on the court like now Larry had skills that even Jordan didn't have who cares if you can dunk Larry was about putting points to win as a team every one else was about them Scotty pippen was better than Jordan so yes Larry is the best and still is, who's John gault !!

I have did one to wilt as well as many other wilt videos!
I'm the 33rd like. LARRY BIRD BITCHES
Haha I love it😂😂
Do the Magic one!
Ok I will thank you for the recommendation!
I don't like the announcer, who is CLEARLY making a point of showing Bird's flaws, mentioning his missed layups over and over! This was supposed to be about what makes Larry the possible goat, but not with this announcer! It was more like, yeah, Larry can do this and that, BUT he wasn't good at this or that! Hardly a recommendation for the goat!
Okay ask any legend lol
