When Magic gave that speech at the end of Birds retirement. It was soldout crowd at Boston Garden with no game that night. No other sports player ever had that.
There was never a three point line at any level before Bird's rookie season. He had never shot a three point shot before 1979. So to answer your question, no they didn't add the three point line because of Bird. He learned to shoot threes as a pro. Which makes the fact that he was the first 50/40/90 shooter much more impressive.
Bird was a fortune teller. He could predict the future. I remember a game I went to against the NY Knicks where he scored 44 points with 14 rebounds. In the next day's newspaper, some of the Knicks players said that Bird walked into their locker room before the game and told all of them and their coaches he was going to drop 42 on them in a blow out win. He was off by two points, but I'll give him a pass. LOL. 😂😂😂 He is definitely top 3 on my all time list.
Larry Bird is the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 club, the only person in NBA history to be named Rookie of the Year, 3 point Champion three straight years, MVP three times straight (When competing against Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Dr. J, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and many more), Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year. Also Hall Of Fame Head Coach Pat Riley once said " If I had to choose a player to make rh winning shot of a game. I would pick Michael Jordan, but if I had to pick a player to make a shot to save my life. I pick Larry Bird."
Larry Bird is the only one MJ never beat!!! He has a great deal of respect for Larry Bird.... as he should Considering how great Larry Bird was! MJ credits Bird with teaching him how to trash talk! Lol. Have you reacted to Courtship of Rivals?! It's documentary.... it explains about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson .....how their rivalry saved the NBA! Most reactors break it down into either 3 or 4 parts.... Its a great 1 to watch and leads right into the 1992 Olympics....the year of the Dream Team! That team had 11 hall of famers on it! I don't think we'll ever see a team that had the impact that this team had!
Just a minor point, MJ never beat him in the playoffs. He beat him in the regular season, half of the time. However MJ would be happy with your wording because it's the playoffs that carry weight.
I should have been more specific I understand your point.
Magic and Bird’s rivalry is legend. They were better because they worked even harder to be the best!
Larry Bird was playing Horse with the NBA PLAYERS and giving them a chance to stop him. I was 16 years old when he entered the League but I already knew about him in Highschool and College and he heard all his life that he hasn't played anyone yet. But when he entered the League he was disappointed about what he was told by everyone. And he said by the 3rd Game of his career he was going to DOMINATE THE LEAGUE and he did it for 8 Years Straight... Great Reaction need more of Larry Bird Welcoming Rookies to the NBA was Brutal.
KEEP CHECKN OUT BIRD
You should review Larry Bird welcomes rookies to the NBA. Some really good stories in that one too.
Dremond saying bird talk shit like us that's the funniest thing I've heard in a minute bird is the best this era is moist
Yeah good thing gary payton was there to correct him 😂
Bird 100% better than Kobe n MJ. Bird, Kobe, MJ
Jordan is the League's all-time leading scorer by average, was all-defensive first team 9 times and won a defensive player of the year. He also won 6 championships to Bird's 3 despite Bird having better teammates. Jordan was a much better scorer and a much, much better defender, and last I checked, scoring and defense are how you win games. Bird wasn't that far ahead in the other stats to make up for this. And I'd expect a 6'9" 225-pound player to rebound better than a 6'6" 215-pound player. If he didn't, I'd consider it a deficiency. Advanced stats Jordan's PER is 4 points higher than Bird's, 27.4 (highest in NBA history) to 23.4, and Jordan had 214 win-shares compared to Bird's 145. #1 Jordan #2 Bird.
Larry Legend
The five dollar bet he had with Parish was probably worth 10 times more than the check he got for winning lol
The 3 pt.line was introduced Birds rookie year 1979. But I don't think they invented just for Bird....lol. Larry Bird was the very 1st player to use the 3 pointer as a weapon in the game. The 1st few years coaches discouraged players from trying to even attempt a 3 point shot! In Birds second year he threw a 3 pointer at the end of a game that won the game for them. His coach was pissed off because Bird attempted the 3 ...even though it won the game for them. So he cut Bird's play time in half their next game!
Some coaches would fine players for shooting 3s.
Larry made the 3 famous Term Rainbow also
What blows me away is that everyone will say Larry couldn't jump, he was slow, chubby.. and yet this man is a Legend... and has so much respect now from the GREATS he played with. Incredible.
While attending college Larry's team was playing mine and we heard they had a future all American on their team. During warm ups we tried to guess which black player he was. Well we were wrong. He beat our league champion team and set our arena scoring record! Peace from Northern Michigan.
The man knew the real meaning of gamesmanship. A real legend.
I was so lucky to be a teenager in the 1980s, I witnessed the whole Lakers /Celtics rivalry from the beginning. I was a big Lakers fan and Magic was my favorite player and I hated the Celtics with a passion. Nowadays I'm much older and look back on the rivalry with so much respect for both teams. It wasn't just Bird and Magic, those teams were filled with HOFers and rightfully so. Thanks to all those great athletes for a solid decade of greatness in the NBA . It's also nice to see young people , like yourself , watching these old highlights and enjoying them.

Look up Jamal Mashburn's Bird stories on here. Priceless.
Bird hated the media cause they miss quoted him in college,but bird never stopped talking on that court lol 🐦🏀💚🤣 we miss and love ya bird 🐦 #LB33
It was James Worthy who said it best, “When you played against Jordan, he made you look slow. When you played against Bird, he made you look stupid.”
I wonder what that jersey Magic signed would go for, lol
100 k plus Imo
I will say.. never being a Basketball fan.. My Daddy liked the Sixers back in the day with Dr.J.. Hated Larry.. But he raised me on Football and Baseball for the most part.. But I truly remember the day I heard that Kobe died.. I don't watch basketball.. but I was in tears. The man was a great in his sport and a husband and father.. Sad day
You need to check out making the case for Bird❤❤❤
The three point shot had been in the American Basketball Association for several years. When they merged, it came into the NBA. There was no three point line in college until several years later. Bird had to adjust his game to the 3 shot in the NBA.
Bird probably has fine thin (not to be confused with thinning hair or baldness but the thickness of each individual strand) hair. That type of hair is great for “FEATHERING” hair styles. Feathering hairstyles was predominately popular in the 1970’s. Farrah Fawcett is iconically known for supporting that hair style.
So, you might not be wrong about Bird’s hair. It fits with that style and era.
Great reaction for one of the greats
The 3-point line was invented in by the ABA in the 70s before the two leagues merged 1976. The NBA adopted it during Bird’s rookie season. Basically literally at no levels below the professional ranks, and even then ONLY in the ABA, it literally didn’t exist. There was no ability to practice the shot. Think about that when you see the man damn near averages 40% from 3, was the first player to ever register a 50/40/90 shooting split for a season, etc. man was a lethal sniper at 6’10”.
If Larry Bird is a
better shooter than
Michael Jordan , a
better rebounder ,
a better passer , a
better free throw
shooter , a way
better three point
shooter and is
undefeated against
Jordan , what’s that
make Larry Bird ? …
# 1 BIRD # 2 JORDAN
Jordan does have a record that Bird doesn't, MJ has the worst 3 point contest performance (5-30) in NBA history.
@@nunyabusiness5075 Jordan is also the League's all-time leading scorer by average, was all-defensive first team 9 times and won a defensive player of the year. He also won 6 championships to Bird's 3 despite Bird having better teammates. Jordan was a much better scorer and a much, much better defender, and last I checked, scoring and defense are how you win games. Bird wasn't that far ahead in the other stats to make up for this.

@@JayLandon64 Well, if "scoring and defense are how you win games "(and not understanding winning basketball is playing as a TEAM, not an individual) then why is Bird's win percentage one of the highest while Jordan's is....top 50?
Speaking of scoring, did Jordan ever have a 50/40/90 season? NOPE. And did the Bulls ever beat the Celtics in the playoffs during that time? Let's see, they met in the playoffs two years in a row at the height of Jordan's statistically best season ever and the Bulls got SWEPT three games to zero. And then the same thing happened AGAIN the next year. Two years in a row and the Bulls didn't win a single game against the Celtics when it mattered most.
In one of those playoff games Jordan scored a record 63 points individually, but lost. That's a perfect microcosm of why Bird was better, because Bird understood how to lead a team to win games versus how to score points.
I've said it before that if I wanted to sell tickets I'd pick Jordan, but if I wanted to win games I'd pick Bird.
BTW, Statistically win-shares will favor a player with a long career and Jordan places FIFTH on the win-shares list behind Wilt, Kareem, Lebron and Karl Malone. All great players but I'd put none of them ahead of Bird or Jordan on the all time great list
@@nunyabusiness5075 50/40/90 is shooting, not scoring. Jordan averaged 30.1 points per game. Bird averaged 24.3. Bird created 36 points per game (pts and assists), Jordan 40.7.
LOL, that's why Jordan won twice as many titles with less supporting talent, because Bird is better for winning and Jordan better for selling tickets? No, Jordan is decidedly better at both.
@@JayLandon64 And Bill Russell won 11 titles, damn near twice as many as Jordan. You really seem to be hung up on statistics so tell me if Jordan was so much better at everything why did Jordan's Bulls have a win percentage of exactly ZERO point ZERO in playoff games when Bird was in the game? Less supporting talent, or another way of putting it, Jordan DIDN'T understand how to make the rest of his team better the way Bird did. It's a TEAM sport, and I'll pick the guy who knows how to get wins (73.6 percent career) rather than the guy who can score points but can't be a TEAM player to get the win. BTW Jordan's career win percentage is 65.9 percent, Bird's is 73.6 percent (2nd all time). If I'm starting a team and want to win games it's Larry Bird over MJ all day every day.
Bird did like the limelight, but it was all about winning. That said, he would keep track of how his other teammates were doing, and if he felt someone else needed some points or recognition, he'd pass the ball to them.
Lol oh grasshopper...Larry Joe is the GOAT.
The thing I liked the most about Larry is. He was a Stone cold killer even as a rookie.
Larry was the first person to reach out to magic after his HIV diagnosis while all magics supposed friends turned there backs on him
ABA invented the 3-point line and when they merged with the NBA they decided to adopt it into the NBA
I really don't believe the price of a jersey, dictated how great a player is, if that was your reason for looking that up, if not, no disrespect.....Enjoyed your reaction 😊 For me Larry Bird's trash talking, either broke a player down, or forced an opponent to be a better player, & it was the strength of the player, which way they were affected.......that was just a part of who Bird was 😊
Larry Bird - The underdog
Celtics vs 76ers playoffs 81

💯
😊
MJ never beat Larry Legend
In Larry Bird's first 7 seasons he never finished lower than 4th in the MVP voting:
Season 1: 4th
Season 2: 2nd
Season 3: 2nd
Season 4: 2nd
Season 5: 1st - MVP
Season 6: 1st - MVP
Season 7: 1st - MVP
Then he hurt his back.
Great reaction. Please check out "Making the Case: Larry Bird" next.... the best information available.
The Fucking Legend
I dont know if Bird took turnovers like that freely or if he was exaggerating but he DID do what he wanted and his coaches let him.. well they really had no choice lol
Jersey prices, really, has nothing to do with the skill of the players. Ridiculous comparison.
No one truly knew about how amazing Larry was unless they were from Boston I guess...
wake up!
Please watch Magic and Bird "A courtship of Rivals" best documentary ever
Bird, magic, Jordan, Kobe ,,(my 5th spot that's hard ,cause I love Dr.J , Kareem was unreal , Bill Russell a legend,but these players they had a killer instinct that was unmatched, I miss real bball, oh and Barkley I love him wish him and Reggie Miller had won a chip 🏀🏀 real bball
Honestly Jordan jersey from the Bulls store is three hundred something but there are flash sales for 50% off all the time. So don't pay that much. In fact Dick's sporting goods is doing 50% off Jordan right now.
Damn… I wish I would’ve known that sooner! 🤣🤣🤣
I know you're just starting out, but your mic was about 1 1/2 to 2 notches too loud in this one. Just trying to help.
Larry top 5 all time easy. Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, Magic, Bird.
Jordan, Russell, Bird, Kobe, Lebron, Magic
No Curry vibes. Curry never hits a winning shot because he too short to get it off.
Dude, you don’t measure talent by jersey sales!
Wasn’t doing that at all.
Jordan never beat Bird
"Don't do that."
LOL Michael beat Bird FINALLY his jersey costs more rotflmao

This is the rest of the Kobe Bryant part on Larry Bird
Trash talking is just stooopid! It doesnt mean anything.
That's nothing, he would shoot a 3 point shot Air Ball and look at the Rookie and say ( That don't mean nothing, I bet you can't do that)? Larry Bird would shoot a Air Ball on purpose just to show this Rookie. Larry Bird HATED when you put a white guy or a Rookie on him and Larry Bird would Go off on the Coaches on the other Team. Larry Bird was Cold he had Ice Water in his Veins and he was fearless.
Are you SERIOUSLY equating the cost of a jersey with the quality of the player?
That sounds like the youngster who equated a players skill with their sneaker sales. 🤦♀️
That's not how I took it... but maybe I miss something. Cause if that's what he's doing ...then I'm with you!!!!
Wasn’t doing that at all.
I think if that's what the man meant that's what the man would have said .
Kobe shot 43% from the field. and he didnt have the defensive numbers that Jordan OR Bird had.. both Jordan and Bird shot near 50% from the field. Bird has more rebounds and more assists than both players on a per game average.. Bird shot 50/40/90 TWICE. Jordan and Bird never.. Kobe is top 5-7 though.. Jordan top 1.. Bird top 2
nice react
For God's sake, Pal.
