"He's not supposed to do that!"
Yeah that sums up Larry Bird's career.
That's right bro
Bird could and did dunk through his prime, just not very often. He said layups were safer and tended to only soar into a dunk at opportune moments for maximum dazzle and demoralization, like that 4th quarter fast break in 1984 game 7 against the Lakers-and for the record, that was Cedric Maxwell passing to him, not McHale like the announcers said.
The point is, since he usually didn't do it, his fans and teammates loved it and were boosted by it when he did. Even now, I enjoy seeing these, so thanks for compiling them!
Thank you so much bro I am a Filipino fans of Larry Bird
Bird was more interesting in winning games than showing off, so it made more sense to take a layup than to dunk.
Steve Nash and Larry Bird are the only players who have had multiple 50-40-90 seasons. And ... Larry could dunk, as this video proves. Best passer and overall player ever!
An absolute legend bro
He could dunk until he broke his back. Then, not so much.
Not even steph had that and he’s considered the greatest shooter ever by far (I think steph is the best shooter ever)
Wrong. KD is there
There are plenty of players who can run faster or jump higher, sure... But I'm tired of the narrative that he wasn't athletic at all... This video clearly shows that he wasn't slow and could dunk with ease. He's not amazing or graceful to behold or anything like that but he's moving well for a man of his size at 6'9. Sometimes I'm not convinced most people even realize what it means to be classified as "athletic". Too many people want to set the bar ridiculously high and say that if you're not flying through the air like Jordan or LeBron then you're physically weak or something.
Bird is athletic, strong and smart can jump but not higher than Lebron and Jordan but he can beat both Lebron and Jordan
Bird was deceptively quick and had quick hands and mind.
Bird is closer to 6’10
The same thing is done to Jokic now. They say he isnt athletic but he be running the court and schooling people like no other.
@@oldmansportsog2514Larry (and Luka) are far more athletic than Jokic. But at 7'1 .....
Would of loved to see Larry Bird in the glamour HS scene that exist today. Imagine if Bird had elite training from age 12 like todays players get. Thats why i laugh when new gen people say they wasnt any good back then..this is pure talent in this era. Imagine if they only played bball and got elite training, dieticians and trainers..
Training? You think that's why players are better in the future? So that would mean that the players in the 50's and 60's would have been just as good as the players in the 80's 90's if they had the same training. You do understand that training in the 80's and 90's was FAR more advanced than the 50's and 60's don't you? Way bigger of a gap in elite training then the 80's to today
They say he was slow and couldn’t run or jump 😂
He was slow and couldn't run or jump...after the back injury. Before the injuries he could run, but not fast. He could jump, but not high. The one thing he could always do was play.
@@PoliticusRex632 hi Lloyd. I can’t believe you let Costanza outsell those computers on you like that. Btw Larry Legend is the goat!
@@mattwatts33 you'd be amazed how many people don't get the name.
And win brother
Thats wrong
Larry Bird could move pretty good for the first nine years of his career. His last three years he was slow and couldn't jump at all. He had severe back problems.
Bird is faster and stronger than most 6'9"
Jordan said Larry Bird was his toughest opponent!! When you see those little ass shorts coming at you, you get the hell outta the way lol
Bird is a very top opponent for Jordan
Bird was the only one MJ never beat in the playoffs
His best dunk may have been the one driving down the lane at Houston circa 1983. DIdnt see it on this compilation, but it was a great dunk in traffic on a halfcourt set. I t is on youtube somewhere.
Buddy i will search for that thank you so much for the info

"1:03" mark at the link above I think?
yep, was watching that on satellite dish, he was pissed off and he actually tomahawked it, great dunk for anybody and it was in traffic!
Agree
Fast brake at its finest and you sure as heck don't see that style of ball anymore !!!!!
Yeah buddy
The back injuries were part of his lack of dunks
I guess so my friend his vertical jump is the same as Karl Malone
He got frequent flyer miles from travelling so much 😅
There are some travels
Extra satisfying to see Larry dunk on the Lakers 😁
That's right brother
Cool video. Bird didnt need to dunk all the time. He had many other ways to beat u.
Thats right bro
Bird can beat the likes of Jordan, Wilkins, Magic and many more
0:57 head at backboard
Yeah brorher
Bird's double pump reverse at 2:21 !!!!! He almost his his head off the rim. I had no idea he had such hops in his younger days! He must have had an easy 40'+ vertical.
He can dunk gracefully
2:21?? The video is only 2:09 long you idiot.
@@kaalamangdaluyanhe's trollin bro
Bird put a few players on a poster.
100 percent bro
I'm old enough to remember these dunks so when the movie "White Men Can't Jump" came out in the early 90s I said in the words of Maury..."THAT is lie!" 😂😂
Yeah that's a lie bro
@@kaalamangdaluyanBrent Barry.
It’s refreshing to see him dunk which I didn’t even know he could do. I Googled it recently. He was lazy, why go in when you can consistently 3 point from the field. Ok once in awhile a thread the needle layup.
That's right bro he can jump higher if he wants
It was a BIG travel at the end and a few other dunks, but dude got busy
That's right bro
"Couldn't jump and was slow"! That was the joke of the 80's!
That's right brother
Since he made all those dunks in the video, was there really any NEED to jump higher?
No brother he can beat anybody including Greats like Jordan, Barkley, Wilkins, Magic etc without dunking
He could finish with the dunk. Who cares how high he would do it?
Thats right all I know is Bird can out smart and out plays those so called NBA greats
In a 2 minute Bird compliation of dunks, he has more variety of dunks then Lebron
That's right bro
Find it amazing when people find out bird could dunk, he 6'8 he doesnt have to jump very high
Absolutely brother and dunking from is so easy for him
@1:30. … Bird can travel a little since they said he was slow. Lol.
Haha
Short ahh shorts god dam😂😂
Yeah brother
If i had a dream team
Steve nash PG
Larry Bird SF
Michael Jordan SG
Kevin McHale PF
Dennis Rodman' C.
A strange combo and a random comment. What's y'all's dream team .
Me too brother Bird is my number 1 player
I never said I didn't know how. T.Q.
What is TQ brother?
LOL, he traveld twice on that last shot.
Buddy I am a huge Larry Bird but I believe he really travelled
Not the most athletic guy, but athletic enough. Later on it was a miracle he could jump at all with his back issues, but dominated anyway. 😅
Bird is the best all around player brother
another myth busted
True bro
Absolutely one of the greatest of all time, but the ONLY reason he could dunk was b/c he's 6'10".😄
Its alright but one thing is,for sure brother he is one of the greatest
Shaq said he couldn't dunk when he was 6'9"
😂🤣😂🤦
Nice dunk bro, Allright
Of course he can dunk. He's nearly 7ft tall. He can stand under the basket and touch the net. All he has to do is jump a lil and dunk with ease. Doesn't mean he's athletic.
But brother he is definitely one of the greatest of all time
Who said white men can't jump?
Bird is different bro
0:44 "Oh! He's not supposed to do that!" as a white dude or what LOL
Haha
Mj has better dunks
We know that bro but eventhough Larry Bird has not gifted in leaping ability he still manage to make some spectacular dunks and he swept Jordan twice
You don’t say. 🙄
dunks don't impress me
You don't impress me. Lol.
I love to see dunks but when I became a Larry Bird fans I realize that you can hype the game and can intimidate your opponent not just by dunking
Then why watch this tape?
Minimal athleticism let’s be honest. An incredible player but was 6-9 and barely dunked
That's right bro but despite all of this limitation he dominates the league and win three consecutive MVP
