In that left hand game Bird had 47 points 14 rebounds 11 assists. He said he would play left-handed at least through 3/4 except long jumpers. He took the game winning shot. 120 to 119 in overtime. 22 points left handed. He was something else.
one of the funniest stories I heard was "when bird almost made an nba all-star commit suicide" the way that guy tells the story in the interview is hilarious
I was just a kid when Bird was playing. I had known about him and seen him play but the trash talking wasn't a well known thing because he didn't do it off the court. It wasn't until youtube that I learned what a cold trash talker he was. I have him as the best all around team player ever. Just like Jordan, Bird would make 3 or 4 defenders close in on him and he'd either do a circus shot or a pass to guy no one but Larry knew was there. Best sportsman and role model of all time too
I was a very blessed young man to have been up close and personal with not only Mr Larry Bird.. but all the greats from other teams including Jordan , and especially Dominique Wilkins. My dad was the maintenance supervisor of the Omni (home of the Atlanta Hawks) for many years so I went to as many home games and other events as I could like concerts, wrestling, monster trucks etc. I can tell you that other than the person relationship I had with Dominique because of being around and behind the scenes for a few years , Larry was my favorite player. So yes… he was that guy that would always have even the away fans going crazy!
One of the primary tasks that needs to be done asap is to remaster all these tapes of the greats from the 50s,60s,70s and 80s. Or, they'll all disappear. Look at how much information, facts and pleasure they've given to the last couple of generations and how wrong they were about Bird.
You should have seen him in real time. It was something to watch! While his stats are great, they don't tell half the story. The man could do and did do everything!
That was Fun! Thanks for sharing your reaction. ua-cam.com/video/ZFKqN0Wvy-U/v-deo.htmlsi=9zv7_1xS4Sx1BWGR This video gives more info about the "show" Bird put on for Magic. The Laker great, Jerry West, witnessed it firsthand.

Man, I miss seeing Bird play. The dude was flat out ridiculous.
No modern player nowadays would ever have the audacity of Bird, and back it up!
