The coach didn't take him out with the triple double plus 9 steals. He sat out the fourth quarter because the Celtics were ahead by a lot. Coach asked him if he wanted to go in and get the 10th steal, and he said no, I've done enough damage. This is a great example of why his stats aren't better than they already were. He didn't care about stats. He only wanted to win
@@darkwolf1202 That killer competition from the greats made Larry better than most younger people are willing to admit. 👍 They won't even normally give him a chance and watch old footage of him. They can't be bothered. They know he can't be that good but he IS better than that and will blow their minds IF they'd just watch. Two letter words can be big words and carry great significance. Seriously, the man was great. Up there with all of the best and they knew it.
That game where Bird was one steal away from a quadruple double, Bird checked himself out of the game. Later he was asked why he didn’t stay in and get the QD? Bird told them he could get a quad double whenever he wanted, we were up by 20, no need for me to be in the game. John Stockton said his rookie year when they were playing the Celtics in Utah, that before the game started Bird walked by their bench and said, “I feel good tonight, I’,m feeling like 43 tonight.” Larry scored his 43rd point in the 3rd quarter and checked himself out. Bird was an insane trash talker who could back up everything he said. He was warming before a Knicks game and was banking in 3 pointers, a trainer for the Knicks saw him banking them and said bet you couldn’t do that during the game….Bird said 5$? Knicks trainer said you’re on. Celtics were killing the Knicks, and Larry checked out in the 3rd again. He forgot about the bet. Danny Ainge was by the Knick bench, and the trainer told him to tell Bird he wants his 5$. Ainge told Bird what the trainer said. Bird checked back into the game for like 4 minutes and banked in a 3 point shot and then checked back out. Dude was worth millions and but made sure he won his $5 bet……lol.
If you haven't reacted to it yet, watch the one about how tough Larry was. They talk about his medical history & how he managed. Makes his story even harder to believe he did what he did in his career.
Let's watch someone making the case as Larry Bird is the best of all time. While the video plays let's barely listen to what's being said and talk through the whole video. 🤣
He was not subbed out when the was close to the quad double. He got bored and said it wasn't fun anymore, no challenge for him. When the coach asked if he wanted to go back in the game to get one more steal, Larry Legend declined.
Bird didn't care about stats, unless it was just to mess with his teammates. He wanted to win. He volunteered to sit out on the possibile quadruple-double game. The coach asked him if he was sure he didn't want to go back in. He didn't. He wanted his teammates to get the time.
The 80's with Bird and Magic, the 2 best all-around players of all time, was amazing. As for who is the GOAT - first someone needs to define what makes a particular player the GOAT. Some say Jordan - why? If you want to talk about championships Bill Russell won 11 championships in 13 years of playing. Scoring? - Wilt Chamberlain once averaged 50.4 points a game for an entire season. Points per game over career - Jordan is first at 30.12 points per game, Chamberlain is 2nd at 30.07 points per game. People say Bird could not jump - if so, how did he averaged more defensive rebounds per game than Kareem Abdul-Jabber Hakeem Olajuwon Shaquille O'Neal - just to name a few. Why was Bird harder to guard than Jordan, because Bird never stopped moving, always thinking ahead and planning his next move.
Yep, CLUTCHEST EVER. He lived for the big games. He told the Lakers their play in the Championship game on how he was going to win the game. Oh yeah, Boston was down by 2 at the time, lol
I'm 49 and Irish but grew up hoopin. My Mum and Aunt were on the 1st International Team for Ireland and both my younger sisters played internationally. Boston was my team (Irish connection lol) but Bird was different class. Bird and Magic's rivalry really did save b'ball to give us the players we have in todays game. Luka is in that different class category too and he won't be 24 til next month... Great reaction btw, new sub
All I can think of while you are dissing Bird's "look" is "Just wait until their "look" is viewed from 40+ years on". 🤣. Got me thinking about my niece's "mall bangs" 😂 People who gave you a like and subscribe and "click to get notified" are treated to this?? "Look at that jersey! Hahaha". "Look at that #@&(* face! Hahaha" Talking over the commentary/info and dismissing and dissing the LEGENDARY Larry Bird. Not cool, guys. Not cool at all. I'm 8 minutes in and debating just shutting you off and unsubscribing. What a shame. Maybe I'll fast forward to see if you redeem yourself. 🤷🏻♀️
Agree. I had to stop the video after they paused multiple times to talk about irrelevant stuff. Seems like they're not even trying to follow the video at all.
That’s just how we are in real life, we’re not trying to change the way we act to satisfy the ones that don’t really care, we young and learning, that’s all that should matter right?
I hope you know we’re never serious about what we saying, it’s a reaction video, so we react to what we see and hear, it’s all respect over here for Larry, why would we sit here and watch multiple videos on him if we don’t respect him??
James Worthy's comment about how he would rather guard Michael Jordan than Larry Bird makes sense when you think about it. - Worthy was an athletic player. (who was voted #1 on his college team, which happened to also have MJ on it) -MJ's typically made guarding him an athletic contest, so Worthy, at least, knew what he had to do to defend against MJ. He would either be quick enough or he wouldn't. -Bird, on the other hand was the 'mental' to MJ's 'physical'. -Impossible to predict (Ridiculous IQ), he always had a different plan and you basically had to figure out a new 'puzzle' of what his plan was every time you faced him. -If you made one small mistake, it was over and he got the bucket. -That's why there's a saying that goes: "Jordan would make you feel slow. Bird would make you feel stupid".
All you need to know is this. Pat Riley once said, "If I needed to pick a player to take a shot to win a game, it would be Michal Jordan. If I needed a player to make a shot to save my life, it's Larry Bird." (And Pat coached Magic, Kareem, and coached AGAINST Bird in 3 championships.
What really gives Larry his claim to G.O.A.T. status, aside from all the points made here, was his ability to play through his injuries like no other. One injury rarely talked about is his hand. Larry Bird played his entire NBA career with a shooting hand index finger shaped much like a boomerang, permanently bent toward his thumb at a 45-degree angle. Two operations have failed to straighten it; he can bend it only halfway to his palm and was an injury he sustained after college. You can clearly see the finger at 28:07. I suggest watching the Untold Story of Larry Bird and the 5 times Bird played injured. It will add a lot more to other viewings of Bird when you know why he was motivated to play through any adversity. Remember he was always trash talking and used to call his shots to taunt the other team.
When you play in a league with no hand checks, no lane defense, no perimeter defense and bigs soft like pudding, you can't BEGIN to compare that to the brilliance that was Larry Bird. Luka and Larry??? That is laughable.
One thing Clayton didn’t mention about Bird he kept leaving out his rookie of the year award. There are many players Bird played against say he has the highest IQ of anyone they ever played. Kareem says he’s the smartest ever
Larry is making guys work to hard, get hurt, get mad, piss off the other coach and bench, bully the refs, demoralizing whole stadiums.. Only dude to Always beat the GOAT MJ.
Larry had an impoverished childhood, his dad thought himself worth more to his family dead than alive because of his military service, He killed himself ,
hey my channel dont try this im from brazil i see all videos and know basket too, hey make a real react , larry have a thousand videos , and u make this a joke , hey respect ok? tnks from brazil
You guys spend so much time making fun of the people and clothing and hair in the videos, looking at each other, talking and yelling, squealing and rolling your eyes, falling off your chairs, and getting distracted, you miss half of what you should be reacting to. The worst thing about reaction videos is watching people miss the most important parts.
You would learn a lot more if you would hold your mouth for just a minute and let the guy school you a little bit. You kept talking over every important statement. Ignorance is not a reaction.
Luka this Luka that...he doesn't do what Larry bird has done consistently!!! Luka just dose it here and there. Bird did it all the time! Plus Larry has done it all through college and from the moment he entered into the NBA his rookie year! It didn't take him 2 or 3 seasons to get good or get confidence to be good. Plus bird talked so much trash. That all these players that all yiu young bloods think are so much better would have gotten thrown out of there game so freaking fast! They would look like a bench player!!
Y'all talk over the video too much, and you miss some things that are important to the video. Come on man. Watch and react instead of clowning and making insults about Bird. He is one the best ever and you are insulting him like y'all are 13 years old kids in middle school. Show respect.
You kids disrespecting the people who played REAL basketball all through the video, or at least as much of the video I could stand to watch. Grow up, get serious or you'll never make it out of the kids league of UA-cam! If it wasn't for the people you spend so much time laughing at for their looks, y'all wouldn't have your glorified pansies in today's NBA to idolize! Peace! ✌️
25:32 If you're wondering who that was, It was Jerry West and his 70-footer shot to force to Overtime during the 1970 NBA Finals against the New York Knicks on Game 3 P.S.: But the Lakers still lost in OT
Larry stopped MJ from getting to the finals. He has to wait til Larry was broken and retiring to get there lol. Pat Riley once said "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan; If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life... I'd take Larry Bird." - Pat Riley Larry is the best SF of all time. LBJ shoots only 20% outside of 3 ft 🤣
Let's see: Rookie of the Year, 3 straight MVPs (regular season), 2 Finals MVPs, Founder of the 50/40/90 club (multiple times), won the 3pt contest three straight years, got a triple double while shooting with only his left hand majority of the game, Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year. No other NBA player can say they have accomplished these feats. Not saying he's the GOAT, but anyone saying he isn't top 10 is absurd. James Worthy said, "I'd rather guard Jordan than Larry. Jordan made you look slow, but Bird made you look stupid." Pat Riley said, "If I need a shot to win a game, I'm giving it to Jordan. If I need a shot to save my life, I'm giving it to Bird." Edit: If Bird had not came into the NBA, it never would've become the monster it is today. The issue was the NBA was predominately black, and there were no real rivalries.
Bird didn't chase stats like they do now. The only thing that mattered to Larry was victory. He would totally destroy the entire league today in every statistical category there is. He could match Chamberlain's scoring average if he really wanted to.
You guys have the same competitive nature as anyone who plays should. We need a bucket to win. I'm the teams best shot to pull it off. Gotta want the ball in high pressure situations.
As a life long Celtic fan Larry wasn't the best Celtic. That would be Bill Russell. 11 NBA titles in 13 years. I of the times he lost he has a bad ankle and sat out a couple of games. HE NEVER lost a game 7. End of story . Bill made every player he played with better.
Birds the goat. He was the best player of his time then, if he played in todays era hed be the best now. Lets just put it this way. Lets compare what Bird, MJ, Lebron did in their rookie seasons. Bird led a 29 win celtics team to 61 wins (32 game turnaround) Jordan led the bulls to an 11 game turnaround and lebron led the cavs to a 17 game turnaround. And what did all 3 have in common on their rookie seasons. Neither one had their best teammates yet.
Luka is Bird 2.0....with two significant exceptions. Bird had the tenacity of Jordan, and demanded the ball in any winning situation. Bird played against himself more than against another. His trash talk was to get others to play harder to pressure himself into more impossible situations. That kind of killer mentality is rare......Bird (confidence/ability), Jordan (confidence/skill), Kobe Bryant (skill). It's rare to see that kind of player today. unfortunately....... Bird retired not because he thought it was time, but because he didn't feel he was giving the organization the worth that he provided....due to injuries.
There is such a thing as "Too High" And while I normally enjoy your reaction videos because you actually react.... You're both so high You both belong in Deebo's pigeon coop with Smokey.
There is no way that either of you heard anything that was said in that video. You guys have no attention spam at all and just like to look at visuals. Im almost impressed that you can watch a video and not listen to any of it.
Been enjoying your videos lately, but this one was hard to watch. You were clowning the entire time and not even really paying attention to the case being made. I couldn't finish. Respect, but I hope future videos are taken a bit more seriously.
You guys could've made sponsorship level. Too bad... you probably just lost the subs that will make your channel grow & SPEND MONEY. Don't disrespect your elders.
NBA today is soft. Bird played when you could be physically resistant. If players weren't allowed to touch Bird like in today's rules, he would drop 60 like Covergirl. Easy breezy. Facts.
Fun Fact: In 1985 I believe, Larry Bird dropped a near Quadruple Double: 33 Points, 12 Rebounds, 10 Assists and 9 Steals in just 3 Quarters. Edit: I think the enemy team injured bird out before he could achieve it but idk
Nope. Bird came out because they were so far ahead. When his coach realized that he was one steal away from a quad double he asked if Larry wanted to go back and get it. Bird said, "Nah, it isn't fun anymore."
I love Jordan and he is in my top three..... Bird, Jordan ,Magic. But Jordan never beat Larry Bird and Larry beat Jordan a few times. Jordan got revenge on every player that ever beat him except Larry. And Larry beat every great player of his era, including Jordan.
Kareem, Bird, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Wilt, Russell, Olajuwon, Duncan, Roberson, then Magic, LeBron at 12...I don't think anyone playing with today's rules can be in any top 10 because of how weak the defense is. There is a real argument that because none of today's players were tested with the brutality of the, 80s and 90s....it disqualifies them. Jordan should never make top 2 pick (which is a shame because he was that good).... like it or not, three of his championships were assisted by the NBA and that should disqualify him, the case for bird is he saved NBA, was more of a all around team player, coach of year, executive of year, level of difficulty of his championships combined with Jordan simply not having to play under the same rules at crunch time. The NBA was saved by Larry and Magic show, when they were gone the NBA needed another savior and that was Jordan....when Jordan came back to NBA, the NBA made sure he won. I would love to see LeBron playing under old rules, its realy unfortunate for him he was never tested the way the players were tested in the greatest basketball era.....but I doubt he would have lasted anyways. I have bird ahead of Wilt and Russell because the competition was considerably stronger in the 80s
awesome... youre a jordan fan... watch the vid of larry vs jordan... youll see he only beat him ONCE ..... in his stat BEST year.... one game ... out of 4
When you thought the championship year was the score... I thought this was Frankenstein's Lab.😅 Luka is really good and has a lot of Bird-attributes but he is not Bird.
Luka is a poor man’s LarryBird, Bird would eat him alive, and lock him up on defense too. LarryBird would figure out Lukas tendencies and actually exploit them. Btw, Larry could beat Luka at the three point line TODAY. You can’t compare the two, or any other player to LarryBird because he was MVP three times and runner up four times, he was also rookie of the year which they left out.
The coach didn't take him out with the triple double plus 9 steals. He sat out the fourth quarter because the Celtics were ahead by a lot. Coach asked him if he wanted to go in and get the 10th steal, and he said no, I've done enough damage.
This is a great example of why his stats aren't better than they already were. He didn't care about stats. He only wanted to win
Facts.
I agree. Great point.
🥶
Absolute facts!!!!
The main point, I believe, is he gave more time to his teammates😊.
When Magic got sick, Larry was there for whatever Magic needed. That's what real friends do.
In his prime Bird was as good or better than anyone who ever played the game. 🏀
Luka's great, but I'd take Bird over him without thinking twice. Bird is #2 on my all-time list.
Bird played during the best Era in the history of the NBA.
@@darkwolf1202 That killer competition from the greats made Larry better than most younger people are willing to admit. 👍 They won't even normally give him a chance and watch old footage of him. They can't be bothered. They know he can't be that good but he IS better than that and will blow their minds IF they'd just watch. Two letter words can be big words and carry great significance. Seriously, the man was great. Up there with all of the best and they knew it.
Larry in my top 5 and ye I agree I'll take him over Luka anyday
I’ll take him over anyone because he makes everyone else better and hits the clutch shots.
Luka is really good, great even but he is not on Larry's level. Nobody is.
Luka is the closest thing in the league currently to Bird BUT he still isn’t near Larry’s level
Right
Real talk I think bird is closer to joker than luka
That game where Bird was one steal away from a quadruple double, Bird checked himself out of the game. Later he was asked why he didn’t stay in and get the QD? Bird told them he could get a quad double whenever he wanted, we were up by 20, no need for me to be in the game.
John Stockton said his rookie year when they were playing the Celtics in Utah, that before the game started Bird walked by their bench and said, “I feel good tonight, I’,m feeling like 43 tonight.” Larry scored his 43rd point in the 3rd quarter and checked himself out.
Bird was an insane trash talker who could back up everything he said.
He was warming before a Knicks game and was banking in 3 pointers, a trainer for the Knicks saw him banking them and said bet you couldn’t do that during the game….Bird said 5$? Knicks trainer said you’re on. Celtics were killing the Knicks, and Larry checked out in the 3rd again. He forgot about the bet. Danny Ainge was by the Knick bench, and the trainer told him to tell Bird he wants his 5$. Ainge told Bird what the trainer said.

Larry also has a gold medal from the dream team win.

Every reactor that does this video does the same thing. Totally over their heads
He was not subbed out when the was close to the quad double. He got bored and said it wasn't fun anymore, no challenge for him. When the coach asked if he wanted to go back in the game to get one more steal, Larry Legend declined.
If you think Bird looked old in college, you’ve never seen Greg Oden.
Bird was more than just threes. More than just clutch.
Bird didn't care about stats, unless it was just to mess with his teammates. He wanted to win. He volunteered to sit out on the possibile quadruple-double game. The coach asked him if he was sure he didn't want to go back in. He didn't. He wanted his teammates to get the time.

His injury videos really highlight how over the top Bird was, no joke.
Edit: you guys are a riot, lol
Larry was the coach and owner on paper or not... Same as Jordan eventually was. Bird schooled the Goat.
I'm 49 and Irish but grew up hoopin. My Mum and Aunt were on the 1st International Team for Ireland and both my younger sisters played internationally.

Bird was the only star MJ couldnt beat ever.
Larry is a winner! Luka hasn't proved that yet
You guys need to check out Bird's 60pt game, it is insane. He hits from everywhere.
Bird is the GOAT
All I can think of while you are dissing Bird's "look" is "Just wait until their "look" is viewed from 40+ years on". 🤣. Got me thinking about my niece's "mall bangs" 😂

u must be his daughter

Laugh at the way you guys
dressed and look in thirty years ….

They making fun of Larry Bird's hair while they got carpet on top of their heads....
They just dumb kids with no clue who Bird even is.
😂😂
3 MVPs IN A ROW. IN A ROW. Listen kids, no one was like Bird. No one. Sorry.
Larry is making guys work to hard, get hurt, get mad, piss off the other coach and bench, bully the refs, demoralizing whole stadiums.. Only dude to Always beat the GOAT MJ.
His 1 steal away from a quadruple double in 3 quarters game he deliberately sat out the 4th quarter as the Celtics were 30+ points up
Y'all made me laugh about the Larry Bird picture in college. I've always thought that.
“Already went through a mid-life crisis” 😂😂😂
Luka's a nice comparison But not just yet.
Larry had an impoverished childhood, his dad thought himself worth more to his family dead than alive because of his military service, He killed himself ,
hey my channel dont try this im from brazil i see all videos and know basket too, hey make a real react , larry have a thousand videos , and u make this a joke , hey respect ok? tnks from brazil
We love Larry these are all jokes
You guys spend so much time making fun of the people and clothing and hair in the videos, looking at each other, talking and yelling, squealing and rolling your eyes, falling off your chairs, and getting distracted, you miss half of what you should be reacting to. The worst thing about reaction videos is watching people miss the most important parts.
Hell yes! I found myself thinking, Listen morons, you’ll learn something! I’ve liked previous videos. But the disrespect turned me off.
You would learn a lot more if you would hold your mouth for just a minute and let the guy school you a little bit. You kept talking over every important statement. Ignorance is not a reaction.
I promise you we pay attention 😭even if we don’t hear it the first time we still got watch it back when editing
And people saying we not reacting enough! So u gotta understand we’re just going to be ourselves
In that game when he was 1 steal away from a quadruple double. Bird didn't even play in the 4th Quarter.
Luka this Luka that...he doesn't do what Larry bird has done consistently!!! Luka just dose it here and there. Bird did it all the time! Plus Larry has done it all through college and from the moment he entered into the NBA his rookie year! It didn't take him 2 or 3 seasons to get good or get confidence to be good.

That’s wild!
Larry stopped MJ from getting to the finals. He has to wait til Larry was broken and retiring to get there lol.

I'd take Larry Bird." - Pat Riley Larry is the best SF of all time. LBJ shoots only 20% outside of 3 ft 🤣
MJ is the GOAT but Larry is EASILY a Top 5 All Time player and if he's not in your Top 10 All Time, you don't know basketball history.
Great video, horrible reaction. You guys were acting like 10 year olds and totally missed the point of the video, lol smh.
Appreciate that fam❤❤

Check out 5 Times Larry Bird was injured but refused to quit!
Please don't compare luka to larry legend. When luka wins three mvps in row. Then you can start comparing them.
Bird didn't chase stats like they do now. The only thing that mattered to Larry was victory. He would totally destroy the entire league today in every statistical category there is. He could match Chamberlain's scoring average if he really wanted to.
You guys have the same competitive nature as anyone who plays should. We need a bucket to win. I'm the teams best shot to pull it off. Gotta want the ball in high pressure situations.
As a life long Celtic fan Larry wasn't the best Celtic. That would be Bill Russell. 11 NBA titles in 13 years. I of the times he lost he has a bad ankle and sat out a couple of games. HE NEVER lost a game 7. End of story . Bill made every player he played with better.
Watch courtship of rivals about bird and magic. The story of these two is great
Quadruple double after 3/4! 9 steals, but Bird said " i have done enough damage!"
Birds the goat. He was the best player of his time then, if he played in todays era hed be the best now. Lets just put it this way. Lets compare what Bird, MJ, Lebron did in their rookie seasons. Bird led a 29 win celtics team to 61 wins (32 game turnaround)
Jordan led the bulls to an 11 game turnaround and lebron led the cavs to a 17 game turnaround. And what did all 3 have in common on their rookie seasons. Neither one had their best teammates yet.
Luka is Bird 2.0....with two significant exceptions. Bird had the tenacity of Jordan, and demanded the ball in any winning situation. Bird played against himself more than against another. His trash talk was to get others to play harder to pressure himself into more impossible situations. That kind of killer mentality is rare......Bird (confidence/ability), Jordan (confidence/skill), Kobe Bryant (skill). It's rare to see that kind of player today. unfortunately....... Bird retired not because he thought it was time, but because he didn't feel he was giving the organization the worth that he provided....due to injuries.
Wilton Norman Chamberlain 🐐
Bird really did an irl mycareer mode 😂💯
Larry and the Celtics swept Michael Jordan the Bulls two years in a row in the playoffs
There’s got to be a ton of players out there who took some moves from Bird and owe him a big debt and a beer.
Luka is nothing more than a slight scent of Bird.
You are not the first to think that Luka is Larry only younger
There is such a thing as "Too High" And while I normally enjoy your reaction videos because you actually react.... You're both so high You both belong in Deebo's pigeon coop with Smokey.
I think MJ then Bird are the 2 best ever and Jordan never beat Bird but beat every other legend of his time.
There is no way that either of you heard anything that was said in that video. You guys have no attention spam at all and just like to look at visuals. Im almost impressed that you can watch a video and not listen to any of it.
The crazy thing is we do listen, and learn, that’s just the way we are in real life, you can’t look for yourself in us.
Larry had 'trash talking'..unbeaten 3 pt.contest..assusts unreal..
Ex-pros talk about it...
Luka good..but NO LARRY..
STOP..
Been enjoying your videos lately, but this one was hard to watch. You were clowning the entire time and not even really paying attention to the case being made. I couldn't finish. Respect, but I hope future videos are taken a bit more seriously.
That "NPC" is Bill Lambier and he was the dirtiest player in history. He actively tried to hurt people and Larry punched him in the face.
Greatest small forward to play the game
Bird wrecked his back by shoveling gravel for his dads drive way. A multi millionaire shoveling gravel.
You've gotta react to Larry bird's 3-point shootout from 1986 to 1988
Jeery West..
NBA logo is him dribbling..
Why do you play videos and talk and laugh through them?
I promise u we are listening
Can y'all react to Shawn Kemp's Top 50 Best Dunks?
Yall making fun of how Larry looks.. Why are you wearing a hood inside the house.
Luka is the closest thing I've seen to Bird but he has a long way to go.
Best comment ever though as a Larry Bird fan... "Luca is a nice Larry Bird' HaHa
They are going on about how old Bird was in college. Bird like most graduated at 21 years old
I can't watch this because you two are too silly.
You guys could've made sponsorship level. Too bad... you probably just lost the subs that will make your channel grow & SPEND MONEY. Don't disrespect your elders.
NBA today is soft. Bird played when you could be physically resistant. If players weren't allowed to touch Bird like in today's rules, he would drop 60 like Covergirl. Easy breezy. Facts.
35 minutes to get thru a 13 minute tape...😴😴😴😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Watch the 1986 Celtics.... you will find out stuff that will blow your mind
Fun Fact: In 1985 I believe, Larry Bird dropped a near Quadruple Double: 33 Points, 12 Rebounds, 10 Assists and 9 Steals in just 3 Quarters.
Edit: I think the enemy team injured bird out before he could achieve it but idk
Nope. Bird came out because they were so far ahead. When his coach realized that he was one steal away from a quad double he asked if Larry wanted to go back and get it. Bird said, "Nah, it isn't fun anymore."
Only one question. What are you smoking? I want to see if one of the local dispensaries has it😊!
I love Jordan and he is in my top three..... Bird, Jordan ,Magic. But Jordan never beat Larry Bird and Larry beat Jordan a few times. Jordan got revenge on every player that ever beat him except Larry. And Larry beat every great player of his era, including Jordan.
Kareem, Bird, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Wilt, Russell, Olajuwon, Duncan, Roberson, then Magic, LeBron at 12...I don't think anyone playing with today's rules can be in any top 10 because of how weak the defense is. There is a real argument that because none of today's players were tested with the brutality of the, 80s and 90s....it disqualifies them. Jordan should never make top 2 pick (which is a shame because he was that good).... like it or not, three of his championships were assisted by the NBA and that should disqualify him, the case for bird is he saved NBA, was more of a all around team player, coach of year, executive of year, level of difficulty of his championships combined with Jordan simply not having to play under the same rules at crunch time. The NBA was saved by Larry and Magic show, when they were gone the NBA needed another savior and that was Jordan....when Jordan came back to NBA, the NBA made sure he won. I would love to see LeBron playing under old rules, its realy unfortunate for him he was never tested the way the players were tested in the greatest basketball era.....but I doubt he would have lasted anyways. I have bird ahead of Wilt and Russell because the competition was considerably stronger in the 80s
My top all time 5 all around players. 1. Bird, 2. MJ 3. Magic, 4. Kareem 5. Kobe and these top 5 are super close....
awesome... youre a jordan fan... watch the vid of larry vs jordan... youll see he only beat him ONCE ..... in his stat BEST year.... one game ... out of 4
Lucas couldn't carry Birds jockstrap across the floor
When you thought the championship year was the score...
I thought this was Frankenstein's Lab.😅
Luka is really good and has a lot of Bird-attributes but he is not Bird.
MJ is 0 6 against Larry keep talkin your shit🤣
Luka ain’t better
than Legend …
Not now , anyways !
Luka is a poor man’s LarryBird, Bird would eat him alive, and lock him up on defense too. LarryBird would figure out Lukas tendencies and actually exploit them. Btw, Larry could beat Luka at the three point line TODAY. You can’t compare the two, or any other player to LarryBird because he was MVP three times and runner up four times, he was also rookie of the year which they left out.
