Larry Bird is definitely one of my top
Third NBA players of all time and I remember that game in 1986
Greatness recognizes greatness, just that simple.
Heck they even made a video game about this rivalry. Jordan vs. Bird for the NES. Excellent video!
Loved that game! My cousin and I would play it and get motivated to hang a bucket up in the garage and try the dunks from the game with a small basketball 🏀 😅 (sports video games always motivated us to go outside and actually play the sport.)
Played that on the Sega Mega Drive. Very fun game.
I remember that game , never played it though
And this after MJ missed 65 games in the regular season due to a broken foot. This was only his 19th game back from an injury that even his team doctors told him was too soon. MJ risked his entire future by returning too soon. MJ wanted his team to win and he did everything he could to do that. In the end, though, the Celtics were just too deep with talent for one man to overcome.
Great video. Love that you acknowledge Bird's passing, as a kid that was actually what was most impressive about him to me, before I even really understood basketball. Just like you said, those crazy fast adjustments in the air were just COOL. And then the part about the praise and love for the game that Bird heaped on MJ, despite being a famous sh*t-talker - that's magical. That's an incredible use of social capital - that's the best way to be a sh*t-talker, is to eventually pay it back with love. the kind of surprise turn and goodness you root for and rarely see.
hands down Larry Bird is one of the greatest NBA players , but Michael Jordan proved a point that day even though they lost but Jordan was nothing to be doubted about
Great video, far better than 99% of comparable videos
This was the best representation of the Jordan we knew during that time. He literally broke the league. Brady was his only equivalent. Or maybe the new person to break the NFL, Patrick Mahomes. Unstoppable.
He got crushed by Bird & Thomas for 7 straight years. I was there in Boston Garden to see it. Unstoppable my ass. Jordan is the most over rated player in history.
Look up Djokovic if you want unstoppable. Guy fought against bombings, corona, media bias, slander and still came out on top along with dealing with something called the internet and social media.
Oh... and against the crowds almost all the time as well. Something neither of the guys you mentioned had to deal with all the time since they had home court advantage something Novak never had the luxury of
Great commentaries on my 2 GOATS .
I remember that game like it was yesterday, changing of the guard moment that we'll never forget!
If you look at the stats in wins between the two.. Bird has the advantage even after the ankle debacle and even broken back(!) There is a reason why MJ always mentioned, Larry was a problem.
CLASSIC HISTORY # two Hall of Famers Compete !! ⭐⭐💓💪💪💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember watching MJ in the '80's., not knowing he Would be the greatest there Ever was. He was amazing to watch. His ball handling was unbelievable.
This felt like the passing of the torch!
HUH😂. Larry was like 28 here. "Passing the torch"😅😂😮
Ahhhhh no, that came at the 92 Olympics, dream team, do some research
The 86 playoffs wasn't MJ's first playoff appearance. In his rookie season, he led the Bulls to their first playoff appearance in years vs the Bucks.
If you rewatch, we stated that in the video family!
@@PU-Basketball when I watched the video, you mentioned that Jordan's 86 playoffs versus the number one seed Celtics was his first performance in the NBA playoffs. Maybe later you corrected it but anyway no big deal
And still got crushed by Boston. I was there to see it. Over rated was the chant in BG for so many games. It was a riot when he tried to guard Bird.
@@user-nj2vv2xm4j Got crushed? Boston had 5 all-star players vs Jordan. Someone earlier said this was Jordan 19th games coming off a broken foot missing over 60 games and still scored 63 points on the entire team. How many did Bird Final wins in the 1980s vs Jordan Final wins 1990s?
@@HitsFromThePast And still lost that game, Bird made the winning pass. It was in double over time, not a 4 quarter game. Jordan choked in Boston so many times it wasn't funny. Even the playoffs the following year he choked in game 3 in Ch. Bird took over the 4th Quarter down by 5, scored 15 in the forth without McHale. Jordan missed ever single 4th quarter shot to lay another egg. That's your Goat? lol
Bird and the Celtics were undefeated against the Bulls in J's early years in the league. Don't forget that Bird coached the Indiana Pacers in the 90's. He never beat the Bulls in the multiple playoff series they played so I guess this point is even.
MJ should have got 3 foul shots in that 63 point game against Boston ! But the rule for a shooting foul from behind the 3 point line at that time was you only get 2 foul shots ! A rule changed happened later !
Good job.
There was zero pressure on Michael in those early series. he didn't have the team to compete. The Bulls had zero chance to win. so he could go out there loose and do his thing.
MJ needs to thank the Celtics, 76er’s, Milwaukee, Detroit, and lakers for aging out.
First, nobody is truly GOAT because we can’t predict the future.
Second, Larry and Magic set the stage for Air Jordan. They captured hearts and minds for the New Sheriff.
Third, Bird 3 MVP’s, Coach of Year, and NBA Executive of the Year knows Basketball. Larry Legend is a Basketball savant-obviously he would sing the praises of Michael Jordan.
Fourth, I wish Larry could have played a few more years without excruciating pain he was a blast to watch.
Lastly, I’m not sure “Legend” or “Air” respected all of the opponents they played but with them it was obviously mutual. Would have been nice to see Mike at least win one playoff game against Larry.
I would like to see them do commercials together or host SNL or even play another game of horse for a Big Mac or something.
Got swept.
Bird was a bad man every game he played
WHO WAS THE BETTER SCORER, BIRD OR MJ?
JORDAN was the better
SCORER . BIRD was
the better SHOOTER !
Jordan took more
shot attempts than
anyone in the league ,
hence the better
scorer ! If Bird took
as many shots as
JORDAN , BIRD would
have more points than

Just imagine if Lance Armstrong had his size & skills
Fun game….
Larry knew what was coming in a few years.
One of the first to truly add muscle and strength in the NBA after Detroit destroyed him.
The Day Michael Jordan Showed Larry Bird Who Is The Boss - Jordon lost the game but Bird called it the best he had seen, as for lessons Bird took Jordon out the three straight games in two playoff series throw in the season games Bird had him two to one.
Bird was a master trash talker but he was also next level IQ. He praised Jordan to the moon because 1) he didn’t want to provoke a world class scorer, 2) He knew Jordan was vain. Bird didn’t think he was 2nd class to anyone, but he made it sound that way when he felt it to his advantage.
Other comments are true - MJ at this stage was typical NBA high scorer mentality that did nothing to elevate team play. Bird on the other hand from day one he entered the league knew how to elevate his team - which is why his ROOKIE year a 29 win C’a team won 61 games.
@9:24 underrated
DJ was the best basketball player ever
Dennis Johnson?
Larry’s NICE!
Bird Unstoppable! 💪🏻💯
Up and at them!
Bird carried a Indiana State team with no one to help him to the championship game. People forget that McHale came off the bench and Parrish was okay in Golden State but the team was a loser. Larry beat Michael like a drum for years. He never lost a series to Michael so why say the Larry was concerned about Michael. Larry was concerned about Magic. Why would Larry ever be concerned about Michael. Michael couldn't stop Larry from rebounding, passing or shooting. Stop making a case for a man that lost EVERY TIME he played Larry. At least we can all agree that Larry's back gave out on him and that's why he retired. Michael never beat him.
Larry Bird, I had the pleasure and displeasure of watching live during those days and time. I still don't understand, other than his skin color why he's hardly ever regarded as one of the greatest to ever play the game.
He was a beast! But MJ is the GOAT!
Birds first year with no Parish, no Mchale, no DJ. wins 60 games. Jordan’s first season wins 32 games. Different types of players but both were great.
You forgot his Team USA medals.
I wasn’t even a Bulls fan growing up. But you will never convince me than there was anyone before or since as good as Michael Jordan. It wasn’t even the points he scored or any other stats. The guy just had the perfect physical form and size for a basketball player, the insatiable desire to win at any cost, and even when being shoved in mid-air, still seemed to always get a perfectly formed shot off. Bird was great, Dr. J, Chamberlain, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, LeBron, Steph Curry, but MJ? Sorry, he will always be on a total higher level.
Wilt Chamberlain was the best center in basketball
Cool story, bruh. Which of Bird or Jordan is a center?
amen
imagine, what would happen if simply switching the team for Bird and Jordan. i don't think Bird can carry Chicago Bull as Jordan
Ja Morant you can watch now with the jump and hang time
Jordan showed what a great athlete individual player he obviously was . This was one game …. Bird Showed Jordan who was boss and. how to win .. Bird was 6 -0 against Jordan… MJ never beat Larry .. and that’s why MJ chooses Bird to be one of his top 5 … Both are all time greats !
Well-said. I love the amount of mutual respect they show each other - and Magic’s another. Just class and dignity and integrity like you’ll rarely find today.
There were 8 players in the paint most of time Jordan was going to the basket...quite amusing what he managed to do with that spacing and rules. He would score 60 a game in today soft game.
he already scored 60 in those era... in today's game, he would go for at least 80 if things get personal in a game.
And how many playoff games did MJ have on Bird??? Like none!
Jordan never showed
Bird who’s boss , it was
the other way around …
BIRD 6 JORDAN 0
Didn't Jordan put up 63 points Larry Bird wasn't really guarding him
@@jeromrharris1126
63 points means
nothing when you
still lose the game
It is, after all, a team sport. Yes, Larry's Celtics beat MJ's Bulls. But to say that Bird beat MJ is just plain ludicrous!!!

Michael was never Larry Bird's boss. When it counted, in the playoffs, Michael was 0-6 against Bird.
Correction.. Jordan. 63 points Jordan.owned bird and the Celtics that night even if his stupid teammates lost the game 👺🔥🏀
Machiel Jordan 63 points against larry bird & Boston Celtics larry bird told coach k.c Jones help, help , throw the white towel
Larry Bird was never as great as Michael Jordan. Even Bird said, "Michael Jordan was God disguised as Michael Jordan!" He also said he never seen a player play like Michael Jordan! People like you are trying to use a team accomplishment and act like Michael Jordan wasn't playing with a team full of crackheads when he arrived in Chicago in 1984-1985.
@@LoydKline-uw4no, alright, but the Bulls lost that game. And Boston went on to sweep the series 3-0.
@@nationalchampions, Michael is the best athlete I ever saw play basketball. Larry Bird is the best, most skilled basketball player I ever saw. I'm not old enough to have watched Bill Russell, who won more championships than Michael and Larry combined.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If I remember correctly the Celtics did poorly when Larry wasn’t playing.
He was a playmaking small forward, utterly committed at both ends and completely selfless in the transition, with a Magic-esque range of passing, and the ability to see three seconds into the future on the court all the while knowing where every single player was at all times like a chess grandmaster knows their pieces on the chessboard. Of course Celtics played worse when he wasn’t playing…
You left out the fact that Jordan had missed most of that season due to injury!
"The Day Michael Jordan Showed Larry Bird Who Is The Boss" = never did show Bird....
Yeah, he “showed him” alright…by getting swept every time he played Bird in the playoffs. Bird was the better all-around player.
Michael was so good he, the bulls still have a losing season!
I just explained it to u? Plus should be sending ur comment to the person who posted this video? Since he said MJ owned Bird!
Chuck throw the game
You can sell ice to Eskimos, trying to make a case for a player that never beat another playelol that the losing player was beter, lol
He didn't show Bird who was Boss. Boston still won that game, swept the series, never lost to Jordan in the playoffs, and Bird wound up 23-11 against Jordan.
Even if Chicago didn't win. He did show bird who boss was. Even bird noticed who he was in shorts
actually the fact is jordan never beat larry bird's celtics , they were separated by about 5 years coming in the league and larry had to leave early due to injuries (but the celtics lost their two best players / prospects due to player fatalities len bias reggie lewis RIP!)
I don't care what anyone says... Larry played against Magic Johnson, Julius Erving ECT...... If Michael Jordan played during this time he would be a past phase talk. Birds era is sort of like football the refs just let them play
Well doggone thats funny because no matter how many great individual efforts that Jordan put in Jordan never beat Bird in the playoffs. So who is the boss? The guy who scores 60 points and loses or the guy who scores 30 dishes out 10 assists and grabs 8 boards and maybe throw in a steal or two and wins? I guarantee you Bird will take his less flashy games with wins vrs flashy losses. Yeah 0-6 vrs Boston in the playoffs.
I don't think Boston felt "let down", they won. MJ never beat Bird.
Look at all the wide open players that Jordan didn't pass to and the wide open players that Bird did pass too. Bird made his team a supporting cast as the commentator would say, Jordan took his team out of the game. The reason they didn't have audio at the start on the interview, they asked Jordan if one person could beat the Celtics and he said no one man can beat the Boston Celtics. Then hogged the ball. Larry Bird said Jordan is going to score his points, we are going to make it hard for him, make him take bad shots and take the rest of his team out the game. Which is exactly what happened. Yeah Bird praised Jordan after they swept him, it's easy to be a good winner.
no disrespect but in my COMPLETELY honest and/or accurate OPINION the best players ever are still #1 TIED wilt chamberlain and bill russell #2 oscar robertson #3 kareem abdul-jabbar #4 michael jordan #5 magic johnson #6 larry bird #7 jerry west #8 hakeem olajuwon #9 shaquille o'neal and #10 elgin baylor
Bird was 6-0 in the playoffs against Michael's Bulls
MJ was great but without my videos taken by Mr Jordan he would be better than Bronny James.
Bird and Jordan were different players and I think are on the same level. Bird’s body and fitness held him back and ultimately failed him. His diet and physical conditioning were not good. He never reached his full potential because of that. Bird was a better shooter and passer, not even close. MJ was a better all around player and also was a physical specimen.
Took 38 shots lol
look at all the stats bird always beat him!!
MJ couldn't lace Larry Legends shoes.
Clickbait title from someone that did not live through the era and has a limited perspective.
Boston did not have its head down....what a nitwit comment.
AS I recall the bulls either got swept despite MJ hitting 60 and not passing to any teammmates.
And Jordan never beat Bird in any series, Jordan never beat Magic AND KAreem....took him years to bea the pistons after age cuaght up to them
Bird has big help becuase he made everyone better and he actually passed the ball.
Bird was the best shooter in the league, perhaps in history.
Ask Luc Longley if MJ was at all a good teammate.
You're right about some of that but that bit about mj not beating the pistons til they got old is b.s lmao they just had won the previous 2 years but yeah they were old 😂😂
the bulls won their 6th ring as the oldest average players in NBA that yr '98...
so who cares if he is not a good team mate...winning is everything.
@@micapalma9532 exactly, the 98 bulls were the oldest team to win , 2nd place goes to the 2011 mavericks lol 3rd oldest is the 97 bulls and I think the 96 bulls are the 5th oldest to ever win .....but the pistons were old lmao Joe dumars was 27 ,Dennis rodman and Isiah Thomas were 29, bill lainbeer 33, James Edwards 35 🤣
Never beat magic? lol umm his first champo
@@SkylineR33mt
He said Jordan never
beat Magic when he
had Kareem ! That’s
just facts !
Showed him who's the boss ? MJ never beat Bird in the Playoffs !
Jordan was a much better INDIVIDUAL player, but Bird was a much better TEAM player. Boston swept the Bulls 2 years in a row in the playoffs. Bird made everyone on his team better. The '86 starting 5 are ALL in the hall of fame. Jordan cannot say that. He scored 63 points in one game against Boston and still lost. Bird was a better pure shooter, but Jordan had MUCH BETTER moves. To determine the "GOAT" you really need to define what constitutes "GOAT".
Is this about Larry Bird or MJ? The build up on this Video seems like it’s about Larry Bird!
The haters are everywhere. Bird was great. Jordan was the greatest. Jordan was not 0-6 vs. Bird. The young not very good Bulls were 0-6 vs. an all time great Celtic team. Stop commenting when you have nothing reasonable or intelligent to say.
Did'nt the Bulls lose this game? Double overtime. Great individual game. Still lost.
Showed him who’s the boss by losing the game?
By what showing him his own face in a mirror?
How old was Larry Bird and how old was Michael Jordan. Bird was the greatest
Lol. Jordan couldn’t get past Bird, aka ‘GOAT’
M.J. = 0 ..... Larry Legend = 6 ................ Better player IN M.J. STATEMENT Bird was best all around player ...... no one ever got it over on Larry Bird. Stats do not lie.
Yt ppls greatest chance to be involved in the 🐐 conversation and he is still far off
Yet he never beat bird!!! Hmmm, so who's the boss really!!! He is the GOAT, but he never beat Bird!!!!
Are you serious? The Bulls lost the game my friend. Michael showed his selfishness while the Celtics played a team game and won the game.
MEH, Larry was a 3, Mike was a 2. Honestly Mike was 2nd best ever. Larry was 7th best in my personal opinion.
if you're gonna plays the clips of interviews with the players... it would have been nice for you to let THEM ... T A L K ... instead of you ... donchathunk??? (that's why i did NOT subscribe and i did NOT give you a thumbs up)
Bird didn't have it this game with no plan for defense on MJ who should have won more MVP then got because didn't want to give it to the same player year after year. The year MJ scored 63 points in the playoffs and lost that was a MVP year and did 😊 player that started a NBA team not like Bird all HOF start8
Except that Bird and the Celtics beat them in the playoffs 6 times before Bird finally retired - Jordan was an incredible physical player, but he had no idea how to play as a team.
Ummm....who won that game? Once again, a player with the ability to include the teammates, wins out over individual greatness who failed to include his teammates. Bird 23-11 record including 6-0 in the playoffs. Don't want to hear that Jordan had no players on the Bull's, they had plenty. Swap Bird and Jordan out, and the same result with the Bulls winning. Bird got the most from his team.
Kobe Bryant >>>>> Larry Legend
Kobe Bryant would've said 81 points to larry bird , larry bird say help help to coach k.c Jones, throw white towel
Jordan LOST every time he played against Bird so he didn't show Bird SHYT
Well it wasn’t the playoffs fool!
Jordan was over rated. Pistol Pete woulda ate his lunch
Pippen, > Jordan was a lousy player .
Right…..
Jordan never beat Bird until Bird was leaving. Even in the game in question, the Bulls lost. it doesn't matter if you score 200 points, if your team loses, you lose. Bird knew this. And until Birds back was unbearable, Jordan always took a back seat, you don't have to like it, but it is true. True Goat, Bird.
Larry Bird was Boston Celtics stupid!
This person isn’t analyzing anything relevant. 1st off, Bird and Jordan played different positions. There is no real comparison between the 2. This person clearly sweats Jordan way too much and needs to learn about the game. And he misquotes Larry Bird after. Total trash. 🗑️💯 👍🏼👍🏼
Jordan never won a playoff series against bird
Larry won 68% of the head to head matchups with Jordan. Period. Brokeback Bird vs Jordan AND Pippen. 68% WIN RECORD AGAINST THE SO-CALLED GOAT LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
