Even a prime Jordan couldn't be an aging Bird.
He was unbelievable. 🏀
Bird moving around like a 90 year old man, but still dominating the pace and flow of the game. Great reaction bro.
Watching Larry In His Last Year Here Makes My Back Hurt. Even With His Bad Back He Still Gives It Everything. I Never Get Tired Of watching The IQ Master At Work Though.
A bit of trivia. The coach that Jordan bumped into when his game winner waved off is Chris Ford. He played for the Celtics the first few years that Larry played. And he made the very first 3 point shot in the NBA.
Oh no way... Thats good to know!
Nah, no chance that they hadn't shaken hands after the game. Michael and Larry got the utmost respect for each other.
They did shake hands. You can see a very quick shot of them finishing (a low 5) as they start walking into the tunnel.
He even cursed Larry. " F U larry! ur so good" 😂😂😂😂
Bill Laimbeer was the only player Larry had no respect for…
nobody could guard larry bird at the post. It's like, pick your own poison scenario.
This was already larry with the bad back. And still kicking mj's butt.
Kicking Horace Grant's butt you mean. Bird and Jordan weren't guarding eachother. Celtics got the win here,but from 1988 and on they lost most of the games to the Bulls,pretty much because they started to decline as the Bulls started to improve. Prior to 1988 Celtics usually destroyed the Bulls.
There were brief moments in the game where Jordan and bird were guarding each other
@@PixelPro-4000 Neither could really contain eachother. Bird was too big for Jordan and Jordan was too quick for Bird. You'd expect to see Pippen on Bird a lot but Grant was the one who probably had nightmares after this game
Y’all see a literal video of my killing the Celtics on his own vs bird and a superior team while bird isn’t even guarding mj and vice versa and still somehow manage to speak as if mj was getting personal torched by him. Y’all bird Stan’s have to stop that. Lol. Bird is the man, but he is as NOT kicking Mj’s butt.
@@TheIcemanthomas
Cry a River. Bird & his Celtics TORCHED Jordan & his Bulls. The Win column doesn’t lie.
Larry has a 70% win record over MJ.
This was the same game where Celtics No. 35 Reggie Lewis blocked Jordan's shot FOUR TIMES. ua-cam.com/video/fi5BORi8Rck/v-deo.html
If you don't know his story, Lewis was an up and coming star. He would make his first All-Star Game the following year in 1992. Then in a 1993 playoff game he suddenly collapsed on the court. He was diagnosed with a heart condition and a few weeks later during an off season workout he suffered a heart attack and died.
That's still painful. I didn't have to happen, IMO. The Celtics assembled a team of the best cardiologists in the world who told Lewis he would have to quit playing or risk death. From media coverage at the time, it appears his wife convinced him to get a second opinion. The second opinion was from a single doctor who claimed Lewis had a treatable condition and shouldn't worry about continuing to play. A couple weeks later he was dead.
Losing Len Bias in 1986, then Reggie Lewis in 1993 really set the Celtics back. If Bias had played for Boston, Larry Bird's career may well have lasted longer.
It was sad watching bird play his last three seasons. His broken back and two back feet, made him a shell of the player he once was. You need to see prime bird in 1986. He was unbelievable. I saw his whole career. He is the Greatest I have ever seen.
I watched that game live. What a great game. Bye bye MJ!!!
No way... I would of loved to watch that
Great reaction! It's amazing to think that regular season game could be that intense! There are a lot of great games from Bird to react to:
88 ECSF game 7 vs Atlanta
60 pt game against Atlanta
86 Finals against Houston- generally considered the greatest game Bird ever played.
You keep making 'em, we'll keep watching 'em
As long as he stays with old school players, yeah!!! showing anything from 2000 on I’m not down with that game of horse!!!!
Ill def check these out. I cant wait to see the Larry dominate some more!
My favourite moment from the '88 Finals against Houston is when Larry is in the paint and dribbles out to the 3-point line and drains one. He excelled in every part of that game.
The mic sounds great. You dont need to lean into it when you speak. You sound good when you're sitting back and enjoying the video. Love your setup.
Awesome thank you for the feedback! It means alot!
This is such a legendary game! I wanted to say that your microphone sounds great. I really like the background that you’re using for the reaction videos. I don’t think you need to change it. Yes, Michael Jordan almost had a very nice game winner, but so did Larry bird. Seriously, both of these legends had an amazing game.
Thank you! so encouraging to hear the microphone and layout is a W!
LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT !!! 🐐 ☘️
You keep staying with the old school players when basketball was a real sport and I’ll keep watching……
I plan on it. I love this ERA of Basketball
@@7footreacts did you play college ball?
Against MJ, the goat, it's comforting to know that the muscle between your ears can keep you in the game.👊 Great video 👊😁
it is worth watching someone's reaction video about the GREATEST OF ALL TIME GAME. just keep on doing that brother!
Thank you for the support!!! I will do my best
Bird was so injured by that game but he always gave the fans his best.
It is truly amazing that Bird was as agile as he was at this point in his career due to his back. As you delve into Bird more you will learn what he was going through and what had to be done to "unlock" his back for 4-6 hours so that he could play a game. Bird said himself that he should have retired in 1989 and was constantly wondering if he would be able to walk or hold his kids if he kept playing.
Jordan had 37. Larry's double achilles surgery and back surgery made him move like an old man.
Great reaction. Larry Bird is the word highlights video. AMAZING
… great video !
a must watch !
Great reaction. Those were prime BB years. Pure entertainment, edge of your seat action in the paint. Defense was part of the game.
Also his post moves highlights video and his defensive highlights video. He does much more than shoot. Also averaged double digit rebounds for his career.
I love the career, double-double! And 3×NBA all-defensive, second team 👊
the ppl that say bird wasnt a good defender OBVIOUSLY never watched him play.. he wasnt a locked down one on one defender but he was good and he was a GREAT team defender. averaged MORE blocks than Lebron and the same amount of steals for their careers.
Mic sounds good bro
Thanks MOOOSE!
mike sounds good!!! and your sound is not too loud. if it ever is i will just adjust the volume :) you can watch the full game on youtube. enjoy thanks so much for all the videos..
I grew up watching this era of the NBA that had produced so many NBA Hall of Famers and had an aggressive style of play, which is why I don't watch today's NBA very much, it's gotten too soft. Great reaction and congrats on 1.1k. 👍✌️
Thank you for the support been watching for awhile now.. Means alot
@@7footreacts I've been checking out your channel since you were around 300 subs. Great reactions, keep up the good work. 👍✌️
You’re right, Dave!!! today’s NBA is like watching a game of HORSE
Also: Paxson deserves more credit than he gets. Every time I hear Jordanaires talk about how crappy MJs team was, it pisses me off that they don’t acknowledge him!
Your microphone is an improvement. I agree about changing the distracting borders. Keep up the good work, there's a lot more of Larry Legend to watch.
bro u gotta react to more classic games ur energy is on point for this lmao
When I play basketball I love that swish sound going through the poop.
NBA needs to bring back serious defense ... it's boring to see players drive with such ease nowadays .... I don't know ... I found the '80s and '90s games way more fun to watch.
Ok yeah. This sounds muuuuch better than before. Especialy after you turned up the sound a little bit. Well done. All you need now are a good pair of headphone for you and another for your wife. Sharing cabled in ear phones gets uncomfortable for you both. Anyway, I'm liking your reactions. Sorry for the rant.
No you’re good I appreciate all the feedback. Hope you enjoy my channel 🔥
Don't take this the wrong way, but you could be Maria Sharapova's younger brother. You really have similar features. This is by no means an insult nor a challenge to your masculinity.
None taken. Id smoke him in tennis too.
That game was so close. It was really the closest game in the playoffs between the two teams.
It wasn't in the playoffs but in the 90-91 regular season. These 2 teams in their primes meeting in the playoffs would be a dream match up.
Bird was at the end of his career. His back was in horrible shape. Bird is the goat.
NFL 1st Play Touchdowns is a good suggestion.🏈
oo some NFL. Might have to check that out!
@@7footreacts Thanks from East Texas 👍🇨🇱 Home Area of "Mahomes Magic"NFL Opening Plays is the official title.oops! My mistake.🙄
Watch game 7 Eastern conference finals Celtics v hawks 1987
Also check out game 5 divisional playoffs Celtics v the pacers. When Larry smashed his face
Horace Grant “guarding” Larry Bird. Adorable!
MJ posterizes Bird! But, he had to travel do do it so the poster never went to print. Maybe in the next life, Mike!
Awesomeness
Love Bird and Reggie Lewis was a good ballplayer too but unfortunately he died too soon or maybe the Bulls wouldn't have been so dominant in the nineties had Lewis not died
Sounds great. Thanks mom and dad
Bird catch and shoot is so seemless its just gorgeous. Cocked and dumped!
Consider this 91-92 game was played as Larry Legend was just about to RETIRE & crippled by back & foot injuries. Jordan was soon going to win his 1st NBA championship title & START his Bulls dynasty. Bird, in retirement mode, & Jordan's, at the start of his peak, but their stats were pretty much EQUAL? What's wrong with this picture? 🤔🤔🤔
In 1986 (Jordan's 2nd year in the league) averaged (43.7 PPG) to Birds (28.3 PPG) in that playoff series. In 1987, Jordan average (35.7 PPG) to Birds (26.0 PPG) in that playoff series.

*39.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 5.8 APG, 2.2 SPG, 1.8 BPG) vs
Larry Bird Playoff Statistics vs Jordan:
*27.2 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 8.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 0.8 BPG)
Michael Jordan Regular Season Statistics vs Bird:
*33.5 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 5.8 APG, 2.7 SPG, 1.1 BPG
Larry Bird Regular Season Statistics vs Jordan:
*26.9 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 6.4 APG, 1.4 SPG, 0.9 BPG
These are Facts!
Jordan numbers were STAGGERING. Jordan averaged nearly 40 POINTS PER GAME against Bird in their head to head matchups in the playoffs. He also dominated Bird in their head to head regular season matchups, but lost against a veteran Celtics team full of Hall of Famers in the playoffs because he simply didn't have enough talent on his team. Jordan will go on to win 6 championships (Maybe 7 or 8 if he didn't retire in his prime) and his 1996 Bulls team would eventually win 72 regular season games -- the second most in NBA history. Jordan's talent and accomplishments were clearly far superior to Bird's. Bird should never be compared to Jordan because it's just not fair to him. They are NOT the same. Jordan was completely different. Magic/Bird is the appropriate comparison.
Your wife is right you look like a young Larry Bird. In this video
Jordan never beat larry in playoffs 6-0 against Jordan
If other players were actually called for travelling they'd have half the points. Jordan travelled incessantly and modern players are a joke.
There is a huge difference in Larry's movement, this is a very stiff Bird. One can only imagine what a prime Bird could do against Jordan.
The vast majority of people either don't know or forgot about Scottie Pippen's stats for this game, so lets look at Bird, Jordan and Pippen. Who do you think had the best game?
Bird 15-36 field goals, 1-5 3pt, 3-3 foul shots, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 34 points
Jordan 12-36 field goals, 0-3 3pt, 13-13 foul shots, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 37 points
Pippen 12-24 field goals, 3-4 3pt, 8-8 foul shots, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 35 points
I got to give it to Bird on this one! Other two still played great but Larry pulled out the win! Props to him for sure.
Now that's a game, huh?
Tell me again how Bird couldn’t play today’s NBA???
Why do people say he wasn’t athletic that is the stupidest thing ever ran for 48 minutes every day for 13 years
Every time I see that bogus foul call against McHale I get angry!!! The refs did him DIRTY!!
Jordan should have passed it to Paxson on his left for a 3 at the end.
Absolutely. Alternatively, he could have passed it to Pippen. on the other wing. This game actually highlights perhaps Jordan's biggest weakness - inappropriately hogging the ball - which took him half his career to mitigate. Their only option in the time remaining is to make a 3 to get a 3rd overtime. That's it. In this game, Pippen has made 3 out of 4 of his 3pt attempts. Paxson is batting 1000 having made 5 out of 5 of his 3pt attempts. Both are in position. Meanwhile, Jordan hasn't made a single 3pt shot. What does he do? Takes it himself. Not only that, he seems to panic shoot. When he misses, what do his teammates do? Exactly what he's trained them to do. Grant and Cartwright, in the middle, make sure to get the ball back to Jordan for a 2nd failed attempt.
This is about the time that Jordan finally started to change (occasionally) and get the ball to a better positioned teammate where appropriate in clutch time and finally begin to win championships. He'd never admit it, but I've often wondered if this is the game that made the difference.
@@carolehall1000 I agree he should have passed in this play, mainly after his first 3pt attempt. But Jordan usually took the last shot,even in difficult situations, because he made them more often than not. Pippen was the opposite of clutch and I'd be reluctant to see the ball in his end in the clutch even if he was having a perfect game. With an open Paxson however, Jordan should have passed. If this game was a turning point, we don't know, but in this same year Jordan fed Paxson the ball play in the 4th quarter after play in game 5 of the finals and the Bulls won, so maybe you're right.
@@davidschmidt1793 Those passes to an on-fire Paxson just weeks after this game, along with that pass to Paxson for the game winner in a later finals is what got me to thinking about this over the years! When Jordan spoke about it, he seemed so proud to have done it. Also, I probably did a poor job of communicating, so thanks for responding so I get a chance to clarify! Jordan usually did make his shots and was definitely more clutch than Pippen on the whole. I was trying to convey that even where appropriate - a better positioned teammate, a teammate having a hot night - it just didn't seem to be a possibility in Jordan's crunch time mindset during the first half of his career. (He'd do it outside of crunch time.) FWIW, not only this game, but the Dream Team experience which happened the next year, may also have had an impact. That Team was all about passing the ball and team play. Of course there wasn't really ever a clutch situation in any of those games, but if you watch the highlights of even their very first game together, the qualifier against Cuba, it's well into the 1st period before Michael Jordan even makes his first basket. The Michael Jordan! It's remarkable. He was obviously efforting playing real team ball.
This game with the Celtics is absolutely a game the Bulls should have won. This is physical prime Jordan and physical prime Pippen on a team in a championship season against old, broke down, broke back Bird and his battered Celtics. Bird's back was so bad at this point, he was in the hospital for a Hail Mary surgery just after this season ended. McHale was mostly back on the bench during this point in his career because he had so much trouble with his feet and an additional ankle injury had made him miss the 6 games prior to this game. The only reason he was even at this game is they planned to put him in for 5 minutes here or there to judge how his recovery was going. Because of this game staying close and leading to double overtime, he ended up playing way more minutes than intended (but still only about 20.) Parish is holding up pretty well but he is 37 (almost 38) years old at this point. Even Reggie Lewis, one of the young guys the Celtics hoped would take them into the future past the Big 3's playing days had a back injury that had originally been going to keep him out of this game.
Maybe I'm falling into the trap of getting so caught up in the mythos and lore surrounding the legendary career of Jordan, that I'm just looking for the reason his team lost. Maybe it's not so much that he lost but that the Celtics just...won. Maybe my focus should be that having the heart to play through pain, the sense to call on strategies honed through years of experience, their knowledge of the game and the players was enough to battle and beat the youth, health and skill of their opponents.
@@carolehall1000 Yea, you're probably right. You could definitely see Jordan trusted his team mates more during their championship years, even passing to Bill Wennington for the game winner in that double nickel game in 1995. Prior to the 90s he usually took matters into his hands. I guess he just matured and started seing the game differently. That's one of the reasons I'd choose his 89-93 version over the high scoring 86-88 version any day.
@@davidschmidt1793 💯89-93 Jordan is the best Jordan! Thanks for the interaction. I love that era of basketball, and it's nice to hear the opinions of someone knowledgeable about it!
It is a sweet sound,only the Crack of a baseball bat is better.
No, he never lost in the playoffs (they face only 2 times 86/87) against mj but in the regular season oh multiple times mj handle his ass. plus that larry birds team had 5 hall of famers while jordan had himself and without him the bulls were the worse team in the league at the time.
React to Michael jordan trash talking videos and let your wife be in the video. Think you both will like it. Good content btw 👌
Noted! Ill be sure to check it out! Thank you for the feedback and suggestion.
I watched it live. Michael Jordan might have Scored 71 It takes a team to win the game jordan was a ball hog
Nobody on the team created more shots for his team mates than Jordan,which is why he usually led in assist rate. People mistake Jordan's volume shooting for ball hogging. Jordan was asked to shoot in volume and he did so,efficiently. What Jordan had was a high usage rate. He shot in volume but also created more plays for his team mates than anyone else on the team.
When you learn to be quiet I'll be back. You apparently can't see how you take the enjoyment out of watching. ..and stopping the video routinely routinely rakes away the movement and consistency. You comments are meaningless and the commentary is completely lost. GOOD BUY!
Personally, I'd rather reactors pause to comment, rather than talk over the game which causes them to miss important stuff.
Aloha wow shout out to my favorite player Larry legend one-off the best all around player stay in good spirits and best of health
