As Wilkens has said, and others have too, "Larry was a different cat! A breed apart!" One of the things that I liked about Larry, and is what attracted me to him was that he was authentic! No ego driven bravado. He was definitely arrogant,, but could back it up! He was all basketball! "They pay me to win games, not set records." Accolades will follow automatically, but the focus is on winning! Magic was exactly the same mind set! How can you not appreciate that competitive spirit? In his Hall of Fame induction speech, Magic Johnson said of Larry Bird; "Larry, you're what a basketball player should be!" and the entire audience stood and applauded.
4th in MVP voting as a rookie, three straight second place MVPs, three straight winners of the MVP and a second place behind that and one more top ten before he retired. that's most of the 80s. he is the man
Hey Charles, how many mvps in a row did you win? How many times did you finish in the top 3? How many titles did you win? How many times were you named to the all defense team?
Good old Chuck Barkley there was having a hard time answering that question cause he knows ....he's not better than Bird! LOL. I don't understand why they always gotta bring Birds race to it. He wasn't just the Baddest White boy ever in the league at that time ....he was 1 of the Baddest Basketball Players Period....during that time!!!

There are NBA role players, starters, and superstars. But there are very few legends. Larry is a living legend.

Agree 👍💯
In my opinion, Larry Bird and Pistol Pete Maravich were the best basketball players ever, and I don't even like basketball.
Yea pistol Pete was definitely good 👍
