Girlfriend reacts 5 Times Larry Bird was Injured but REFUSED to Quit Reaction larry bird ultimate mixtape reaction larry bird reaction larry bird trash talking reaction larry bird mixtape reaction larry bird reaction lebron fan - Розваги
Can you imagine just how much better Bird would have been if he'd never been injured. This guy was a true warrior.
Can you imagine how much better at basketball I would of been if I would of been a lot taller, stronger, and faster?
How about having Lem Bias as a teammate as well
Think about him in the hands off NBA today.
Knuckleball is when the ball don't spin. It acts crazy as a result. Difficult for pitcher to control, for catcher to catch, and for hitter to hit.
HHaha..I was in my younger days (I’m old now) but was a catcher up to high school and it was the only position I played. But we had one pitcher that could throw a awesome knuckleball.
And I remember he was pitching and I was signaling for a fast ball…or other pitch…and he shook it off…and after trying to call for something other then the knuckleball..and knowing it was coming no matter what..I mumbled..”damn it…okay” and signal for it.
And the batter…heard me mumbling and as the pitcher started his windup the batter said “it’s that damn knuckleball isn’t it.”
😂😂
Also: in that Pacers game, just before Larry came back, the Pacers coach warned his team Larry was coming back out & that the place was going to erupt….which it DID!! That stadium went wild! And did you notice that steely glare he had when he kneeled down? Or when he was walking out onto the court? That man meant BUSINESS!! 💥
And YES he dominated when he came back out. The Pacers were ahead until LARRY got there but he just took over & won the game for the Celtics.
There’s clips on UA-cam of interviews that both Celtics & Pacers gave about how impressed they were with Larry’s performance. One Pacer said it was the most impressive thing he’d ever witnessed, the kind of thing you tell your kids about. It was definitely inspirational.
Yes. There was malice in his eyes, heart.
@@rafehr1378 he was a BAD man !!!!
THEY WERE not ahead'
Jordan: "I played my best game when I was sick."
Bird: "I played half my career with a bad back."
Jordan: "You are clearly the GOAT."
Larry Legend was a WARRIOR of the highest order on the basketball floor. That is why he is THE Legend. For those of us who saw him, that is why the the Legend lives on. A simple broken back doesn't stop him. Navy seals would have called him brother. Nobody today would be worthy.
I know about working through back pain. I was shot in the lower back by a gang and as a result, I had to hold-off college for a year to heal. I was studying Nuclear Medicine Technology and the day I woke up after my FIRST day in 'clinicals' - ie: helping move 400+ pound patients around - I felt worse than I had since the day AFTER I got shot when the pain had time to seep in. I even had to take my CANE to clinicals, it was that bad. I couldn't take any pain medicine, either...and I did it for a YEAR, until I finally had to give in b/c I just wasn't able to do the job right with the pain in my back.
...and Larry Bird was out there playing basketball for years after. The guy isn't Human.
The significance of the mangled finger story is that Bird said he had a better feel for the ball before the injury. He played his entire NBA career with a mangled finger! So if he was as good as he was WITH a mangled finger, imagine how much better he’d have been with an unmangled finger!!!
Same goes for his back! He played over half his career with a bad back! It got so bad his legs got numb! Imagine how much better he’d have been with a healthy back!
Irishgrl....your comments on Bird are always factual and written well. You definitely know your Larry Bird facts. Good stuff. I've got to go pick up Wally and the squirt (Beaver).
That is very well said and true.
Total Stat Points (Career Avg PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK)
Bird: 24.3 PPG / 10.0 RPG / 6.3 APG / 1.7 SPG / 0.8 BPG = 43.1
Curry: 24.3 PPG / 4.6 RPG / 6.5 APG / 1.7 SPG / 0.2 BPG = 37.3
In the past 50 years, here are the highest Total Career Avg Stat Points (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK)
#1) Jordan = 44.7
#2) LeBron = 44.4
#3) Bird = 43.1
#4) Kareem = 42.9
#5) Durant = 40.8
#6) Magic = 40.2
Curry is #31 with 37.3
That's just to put things into to perspective
Not just softball, but she'd tear you up in hoops, bowling, checkers, Battleship and anything else. competitive. I can tell she has confidence. And be thankful you have her...haha.
A Knuckleball is what it sounds like, a pitch thrown with the Knuckles, it travels around 50-60 MPH, but the movement is so insane that it's one of the most difficult pitches to hit.
Whenever you watch that famous clip of Larry holding up his finger after winning the 3 point contest, take a good look at his finger.
Also, at 14:07 he used his left hand to save the ball instead of using his right hand to save his cheekbone. Here is a video showing his teammate picking up that ball. The play continues to the other end of the court while Bird is still down.

I have watched videos showing this injury soooo many times. Yet, I don't think I have ever noticed Larry tapping the ball to his teammate. I guess I was to focused on his face about to hit the floor. Thank you for pointing that out...typical Bird...save the ball! They can compare players all they want...there is only one Larry Bird!

All while Bird had medical issues.
Probably my favorite Larry Bird quote at 7:35 mark. Larry said if you get paid to go to work you go to work. Thats ethics...
That was Kevin Mchale..Mchale's post up game was unmatched.. Him and Olajuwon probably the 2 best post players ever
Charles Barkley said McHale was the toughest match-up he had b/c he couldn't stop McHale's moves, but nobody could, and he said he had to work on offense for everything he got. He said, "Players look at the schedule coming up and go...'hmm, I can have some fun that night' but when I'd see the Celtics, I'd be like, 'I'm gonna have to WORK that night!'" or something like that.
I couldnt see mchale but Tim Duncan is in that list
I believe when Bird fell and cracked his cheek it was because his right arm got pinned when he hit the other player’s leg. So he couldn’t stop his head from hitting the floor.
Agreed
While the video is talking about Bird in the 1991 season, the third of what the video called the worst era of Bird's back issues, you comment on how unathletic he looks coming down the court. 🤦🏻♀️ Yup, when his back was battling him he didn't run as fast or sure as he used to. But still torched opponents. Bird adapted. If one asset was compromised, he adjusted or developed another to compensate. He's Larry Legend for sooo many reasons.
Yep - look up "Gary Payton Larry Bird" and watch what Payton has to say, it's titled:
Gary Payton on Larry Bird's game: "He was the coldest dude I've ever seen."
Good points Cindy..
Also, if he was listening to the video he was watching, Larry just snuck out of the locker room with a concussion and fracture of the right cheek to get back into the game. So yeah, maybe he wasn’t moving at 100%...
He also had double Achilles surgery which had to effect his running, jumping and rebounding. The rebounding didn't suffer at all, proving you don't necessarily need to jump to the rafters to be a great basketball player. His jump shot was something of beauty and he barely left the floor when he launched one. He had so much upper body strength and shooting from the side of his head instead of the front of his face gave a little more leverage than using your legs to jump to get the ball to the basket.
@@eddiehaskell1957 Very true.
If you look at his right finger in the clip where he is holding up his jersey, you can see how messed up his finger was. This injury plus, double Achilles heel surgery, 7 years with an unstable spine and STILL he was able to play the way he did. Seriously, how anyone could deny he is the GOAT, is astonishing to me. Just imagine, for a moment, what a healthy Bird could have done. The 1986 season times ten.
Pat Riley once said, "If I needed a shot to win a championship, I'd take Michael Jordan, but if I needed a shot to save my life, I'd take Larry Bird"
A knuckleball is a pitch where you hold the ball with the knuckles instead of the fingertips, taking the spin off the ball and giving it an unpredictable motion. Slow, but very hard to hit.
I LOVE watching Bird reactions which is why I subbed awhile ago to your channel...... It always pisses me off that people miss the end of the video when they say Bird might've suffered a broken cheek bone because no one ever hears that.... LEAVE IT UP TO A WOMAN TO HEAR IT..... Much love to your girlfriend because that was Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Knuckle Ball is a pitch that was used in baseball back in the 80's and before. Not used that much today in MLB. To get an idea take a look at a video of a pitcher named Phil Niekro who pitched for the Atlanta braves in the 1970's or check out Reggie Jackon's 3 HR game in game 6 of the 1977 World series vs. the Dodgers when he hit his 3rd one off a Knuckle ball pitcher named Charlie Hough.
Just watch the Sad Untold Story of Larry Bird to see what really motivated him to push through every obstacle that came his way in life and on the court to become the Legend! It’s very informative and you will clearly see why he has that work through the pain mentality.
Besides watching the video you should also listen to it because the person that made the video says the name of Bird's teammate telling the airport story before and after the video you watched
annoying when the video dialogue is ignored.. attention span i guess.
Bird is one tough dude.
I was watching the game against Indiana where he cracked his face against the floor. I can almost hear it. I thought his career was over. When he came back during the same game that crowd noise was in-sane. Nobody I was with expected him to come back to the series let alone the game.
She gave you that look that all us married guys know.
Just be glad they tolerate us, lol.
He is right...a knuckle ball in baseball is when the ball is griped and thrown using the knuckles rather than the fingers, this causes the ball to not spin which makes the ball "drift" back and forth and move at a slower speed then you would expect. Think of it like the difference between a musket (no rifling in the barrel) and a rifle (rifling in the barrel) the rifled round because of the rifling spins in the barrel so it comes out spinning which helps it cut through the air more effectively which gets it to the target faster and with more accuracy.
McHale! He was on Celtics with Bird!
You had better watch out. This chick is smart and strong.
The clip where he hits the floor and breaks a bone in h8s face. The entire night before this game, he spent in traction just so he could play.
ALSO, a knuckleball has an 3xcessive amount of lopsided spun on the ball.
She says she can play softball ? She sold me! lol
Knuckleball just floats, no spin and it confuses the hell out of you.
You can see his finger at the 3 point competition winning the 3point competition when he held his finger up
Softball isn't just for women. Ask my church pastor. He held service w/his left arm in a sling and at the end, he said, "Just to let y'all know what's up with the arm, I'll just say 3 words: CHURCH LEAGUE SOFTBALL..." -- he made a diving attempt at a ball and dislocated his shoulder so badly, he's gonna have to have surgery on it. :(
He also played with a broken eye socket. He said he saw two of everything for about two weeks and just hoped he was shooting at the right basket.
Have you seen his full court passes. He was a basketball quarterback.
and to think derrick rose is still probably sittin on a bench somewhere claiming his knee hurts
He had bone spurs too. That’s like having sharp rocks in the heel of your sneakers.
Larry Legend is the GOAT in my opinion.
My daughter played softball on a travelling team, so yes, I do believe you could play softball! Lol
Larry's back problems is what made him retire!!! No telling how much greater he would have been! We will never know.
And, you two may not know it, but Larry's father committed suicide when Larry was in high school, so Larry had to also step up as far as the family dynamic goes. Father said their family would be better off without him. Sad sad sad.
That;'s Kevin McHale. I grew up in the 80s and 90s. Many people considered him one of the greatest Power Forwards of all-time...including Charles Barley
that was HOFer Dominique Wilkins Bird drops at 12:14 . I'm an Atlanta fan. Hated Bird and the Celtics. But, it's pretty awesome to watch now.
A knuckleball is a pitch that has very low spin, just like a soccer ball. The lack of spin causes the ball to dip and dive all over without control.
I like videos like this. Im coming off a video where a guy took 8 minutes to reach the 24 second mark of a "reaction". It took him another 3 minutes to react to 30 seconds of video. Apparently, he really liked the sound of his own voice. I like RAW reactions and you always deliver.
Read his book Drive, you will understand why Bird gets the respect he does.
Knuckleball is a ball thrown or kicked with close to or no spin causing the ball to act in an unpredictable manner on its way to the target. It is essentially the same concept in football (soccer) and baseball.
90%!! Just Slightly higher than O'Neal. 🤣😂
Love the softball queen❤️She knows. The knuckleball is a pitch that swivels the ball during the pitch. The knuckle position twists the ball as it leaves the pitchers hand.
10:19 "Kevin Mchale"
knuckleball - a slow pitch that has virtually no spin and moves erratically, typically made by releasing the ball from between the thumb and the knuckles of the first joints of the index and middle finger.
Just putting it out there in case ppl wanna look 'em up, but brothers Joe & Phil Niekro in baseball, Tim Wakefield, Tom Candiotti, "Dutch" Leonard, and Charlie Hough are the more 'modern-day' knucksters that I'm aware of, but I stopped paying attention to MLB when the strike in '94 cancelled the World Series.
That was Kevin McHale telling that hot dog story. You don't know who Hall Of Famer Kevin McHale is? LOL. This guy capping. 😂
That’s Kevin McHale. Great ball player.
Kevin McHale in the hot dog story
From one softball queen to another 💪
Players now a day, will whine about a hangnail, even when pocketing more money than they could spend.
I'm guessing when Bird fell and fractured his cheekbone probably there was sweat on the floor and he slipped.Larry Bird grew up 8 miles from me.I saw him in a store in French Lick one time. I didn't try to talk to him because I knew he was a private person if he didn't know you.
14:20 from what I can tell, it seems the other player got in the way of him breaking his fall with his hand by accident, causing him to hit his face on the floor instead of his arm.
Hello guys, stay safe and God bless always, following from the Phillipines
To say Burd was unathletic is crazy lol.
You were the best basketball reactor already, but your woman makes these reactions even better.
At 10:28
You asked who the person talking was. That was Kevin Mc Hale was awesome
Underated c/pf
Played with Bird on Celtics
I think number 32
Parish 00 center
Bird 33
Kevin McHale is the Celtic talking about Bird.
a knuckle ball is a baseball pitch thrown with your fingers bent in such a way that the knuckles are determining the spin, or lack thereof, of the ball. It is an attempt by the pitcher to reduce the spin on the ball as much as possible....if thrown correctly, a knuckle ball drops just as it is crossing the plate. It also reduces the speed of the ball as it comes at the batter. It acts like a change up...by that, I mean, from the batter's perspective, it looks as if the pitcher is taking a full windup, and trying to throw the ball as hard as he can. It fools the batter into thinking that the ball is coming much quicker than it really is. Usually, the batter swings way too early, making them look foolish. Also, major league players can usually see the seams on the ball as soon as it leaves the pitcher's hand. Once they find the seams, and can determine the spin of the ball, the batter can tell what pitch the pitcher is throwing. A knuckle ball disguises the type of pitch it is, because the spin is greatly reduced. It is very deceptive if thrown correctly. But, it is very hard on the arm of the pitcher. There are very few, if any, true knuckle ball pitcher around, and there are very few in MLB history. Now, when someone says, that looked like a knuckle ball, when referring to a basketball throw, or pass in football, it is simply a reference to how weird the ball looked when thrown.
The player on TNT show was Kevin McHale. He was the center of Celtics. Kevin garnet learned all his post moves from him. Also the bird lookin Unathletic running down the court. That was him coming back after two ankle surgeries on both feet. He looked much stiffer of course.
A knuckleball regardless of the sport is a ball that flies through the air with zero spin. When the ball don't spin in flight it is very unpredictable which way it will go.
Enjoy the reactions and watching them in reverse order to catch up hahah but was wondering if you both or one of you have watched “making the case..Larry bird” it’s making the case for different player and their GOAT claim…
Just a question
One of the a greatest athletes of all time.
Most players don't come back after 1 Achilles tendon surgery
That's his teammate Kevin McHale.
10:19 that would be Sixth Man, Kevin McHale!
A knuckleball is what my wife does when she is angry. Also known as fistnuts.
A knuckleball is a pitch that you use your knuckles to throw the ball. It's a very hard pitch to throw it can ruin your arm if thrown wrong. I can't remember who was the last pitcher who did. Please forgive any misinformation.
I think the last knuckleball pitcher is R.A Dickey. The ones i've seen pitch are, Tim Wakefield who is the knucklerballer Jackie mentioned talking about the softball injury, Charlie Hough, Phil Niekro, Joe Niekro
@@eddiehaskell1957 thanks it has been awhile since I've seen a baseball game. I am right that knuckleball pitchers can hurt their arm. I don't know for sure because that is what I heard.
@@kathysiedlecki6364 The knuckle ball pitch extended pitchers careers who tore a rotator cup or some other shoulder injury. The surgery techniques were primitive back in the 70's ‐80's. Now you can have microscopic surgery with a couple small holes to repair the muscle. I know this because I had surgery in the '70's which I never did get the movement back to what it was In 2015 same rotator cup, totally different out come. Not only repaired the new injury but the old one as well. I can play catch with my grandson and I have no pain. All of that to say if a pitcher injuries his arm throwing a knuckle ball, it's probably the old injury he had repaired.
@@eddiehaskell1957 I had a feeling I was wrong. Thanks for the information. That tells you how out of the loop I am. Thanks for correcting me.
@@kathysiedlecki6364 If If didn't know better I would think it would be bad for your arm since it's a hard pitch to master. I tried throwing it after my first injury but that didn't go well. If you throw it with rotation on the ball it ends up being 75 mph cupcake. The less the ball spins the more it will dance.
I'm not gonna doubt her. Nope.
What do hotdogs got to do with me?
A knuckleball is when the ball doesn't spin and it jumps around every kind of direction
Bird also had a heart condition. Imagine a world with a completely healthy Bird, and I will show you where he is the GOAT without question.
The photo they show in the knucle injury piece is a school uniform. Im sure thats a baseball uniform because Indiana State would not have had a mens softball team The injury came in a pickup game. It could have been a softball game, but I doubt it.
*Bird's index finger was injured in a softball game.
*The photo of Bird in the ISU baseball uniform is from the one doubleheader Bird played in for the school. The baseball coach challenged Bird, so Bird took him up on it. His presence filled the stands; he batted .500; he got knocked out in a collision with the catcher when they both went for the ball. This was after the NCAA basketball Championship game and before the destroyed knuckle in the softball game.
The guy telling the hot dog story is Kevin McHale.
You never seen Eddie Fainter striking out for of the best Bb players in bb in a row
Mikhail was the guy who's talking Mikhail
That was Mchail. This one didn't show all of His injures that He had & still played But it was still a good video, Thanks for Sharing.
You need to see Eddie Fenter and his three friends against the best players in bb he struck out the best four hitters in bb at 😂time in a row. Softball legend thru a hundred mph
There’s another video that talks about a couple other injuries you can react to if you haven’t yet. “ 4 Crazy stories that prove Larry Bird is the toughest player in NBA history!” Here’s the link ua-cam.com/video/L4vsB2Hskv4/v-deo.html
This ! ⬆️. It’s a really good video that talks about a few of Larry’s injuries that I hadn’t seen on any other videos. Larry wasn’t only called Legend for his excellent skills and b-ball IQ, but also for his insanely high tolerance for pain while still excelling - In pain beyond what most people could barely endure at all, Larry overcame and played against top-tier athletes and *excelled*.
Ya'll need to see dom2k's video 4 crazy stories about Larry Bird
Knuckleball - a pitch (baseball or softball) that is thrown with no spin on the ball. With no spin the ball isn't stabilized and wobbles up, down, left and right, with no way to guess where it's going to go - it's as bad for the catcher to catch as it is for the batter to hit. The jinking all over the place isn't BIG, but when it's all over the place, it's VERY difficult to hit (or catch) the ball. Pretty sure that is the same in soccer - no spin, so the soccer ball doesn't follow a nice, clean path.
I believe her
A knuckle ball in baseball is thrown where the ball has no rotation at all
Larry Bird was a bad man.
HE plays theGame .
But he's still lightning everybody up 🐐
Kevin McHale
G O A T
A knuckleball has no spin when it is thrown or hit. It moves in any direction.
Kevin Mchale
There is one about four times bird was injured and didn’t quit it’s even grosser
Yes I believe Yonni softball Queen 👍👑
Yes she knows softball
He didn’t tell you of the 2 1/2 inch cut between his big toe and the next because it was abscess he didn’t tell the doctor about. No pain killers “ just give me one of those beers over there “ He played that night and scored about thirty
I believe everything she says because
Yes I believe Yonni 👍
She looks mad all the time...lol
