Lucille Santiago it was number 1 cuz bird purposely missed all the shots to make it more insteresting and make it more of a challenge so he beat the other dude by 2 with the money ball
For anyone wondering what the record is for made SHOTS in this competition and not simply the best score, it is indeed Craig Hodges with 21 out of 25. Mark Price and Jason Kapono hit 20, as well as Devin Booker, who just did it about an hour prior to me typing this.
Joe Naso What a Joke !! Lol Larry Bird is not even in the Top 50 3-points shots made of all time so do your research...The best 3-point shooter of all time is Steph Curry.
Bird made 19/25 with a score of 22 in 1986, I don't know why the dude put the 1988 performance of him... Craig Hodges made 25pts in the first round of the first ever contest (1986), but there is no full video to count the baskets And the world record is 24/25 with a incredible score of 29 by Patrick Sanders in Japan's All Stars
It was that western conference finals with Sacramento Kings VS Los Angles Lakers I realized how rigged and manipulated the NBA actually is. Peja Stoy, Chris Webber, Mike Bibby , Vlade Devak, Hedo Turkalow. One of my favorite basketball teams of ALL-TIME 2002 Sac Kings and the officials gave Kobe and Shaq that series. Worst officiating in ALL seven games you’ll ever see. Pathetic
@@williamwood7348 It's funny that you misspelled every single one of the foreign players names. Don't blame you though, not easy names to spell. Especially Turkoglu.
@@williamwood7348 Not knowing how to spell a foreigners last name doesn't make anyone ignorant. I just found it funny you got all the American players names right and butchered every single one of the Euro players lol
@@qianhuang59 Depends on your criteria - if your Criteria is most points scored, you’d only have three names up there: Hodges, Kapono and Price. Maybe Curry If you counting the new Scoring rules. And if that’s all you’re measuring, then that’s the most accurate list for you. If you’re measuring clutch under pressure, Which I judged to be winning even when you have the odds against you, even under duress, then I would pick 1988 Bird.
Alas, poor ignorant Millennials lack historical context and don't realize why Bird is Number One. Bird didn't just want to win; he'd won twice before. Bird was all about crushing an opponent's hopes and dreams. He knew that getting someone's hopes up only to dash them was more demoralizing than simply beating them. According to Danny Ainge, Bird was keeping mental track of the score and missed those shots intentionally so it would come down to the final shot. Bird was a master of psychology; that's why he walked away with his hand raised before the ball ever went in the hoop.
a lot of his contemporaries and team mates believed he started off slow on purpose to make it more of a challenge later. Notice how it was that last ball that won it for him? Also he won the first three 3 point shooting contests, then they stopped inviting him.
Bird never took off his warmup jacket and before the 3 point contest he told everyone “hope u are thinking about 2nd place cause I’m winning this” not to mention he won 3 three point contests in a row and this was made 2 years ago.
Danny Ainge said that Bird was keeping count and missed those early shots intentionally so he could win it with the final ball just for the sake of drama and excitement. Anyone who knows Bird knows that's something he would do.
Everybody who ever watched Larry Bird compete knows he wanted to make every shot. No way he missed on purpose. I never liked the Celtics but Larry Bird wants to make every shot, every time. Period.
@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals Lol I don't need Danny to tell me what I've seen. Larry was shooting trick shots just to give everybody else a chance and he only got serious on the last two racks.
For y’all that’s hating on Larry legend he put that because that whole contes Larry decided to play in his warm up jacket and still won if you go back and look it looks heavy so hating on my favorite player
Larry Bird's best performance was in 1986, 22/30, 10th performance of all time (maximum points in the final round), a record that stood for almost 20 years
Craig Hodges literally shot 21/25 for a total of 24 points in 1991..which is documented IN THIS VIDEO. So unless your arguing that 5 years is almost 20 years you couldn't be more wrong with your statement LOL
Bird: "I've won it twice, I'm bored. What can I do to make this more exciting and challenging? I know: I''ll miss a bunch of shots on purpose so everyone else thinks they can win, then I'll crush the MFers on the final shot." Walks away with finger raised while last ball is still in the air...
For anyone saying that Bird underpeformed, you'd be correct. Even for his previous 3-point contest standards. Go back and watch his 3-point contest in 1986, the first one ever held, and you'll see why he was so lethal. Without a money ball rack, the dude made 23 points and made 9 in a row before he missed. What's so impressive about the one that everyone remembers is that even though he underperformed, he still won the event and told everyone that he would. The funny thing about the in the warmup jacket comment is that everyone forgot that he literally did and said the exact same thing in 87, and he performed much better in that shootout lmao.
If Mark Price hadn't gone cold on the last rack in 1994 he would have probably had the highest score bragging rights. Even his misses looked liked keepers.
great video but how do you put bird first and peja last lol peja scored more points and where my boy ray allen at? he should've been up here if not 1 def 2.
donnie juanstar you dont get it why bird is number one...this was his 3 championship contest in a raw and he shooting in jacket purpose...last shoot is for the win
He record means next to nothing. Remember they seem to change the rules every year. Craig Hodges hit 19 in a row, 21 out of 25 shots. Up to now no one has ever done that.
Bird: "I've won it twice, I'm bored. What can I do to make this more exciting and challenging? I know: I''ll miss a bunch of shots on purpose so everyone else thinks they can win, then I'll crush the MFers on the final shot." Walks away with finger raised while last ball is still in the air...
For everyone debating about curry and Thompson just stop looking at the point system and check how many shots each person made that would tell u if Klay and curry deserve to b on this
it wasn't the point bird didn't hit as many as the others, it was the circumstance and pressure and coming through. but hodges looked like he was gonna hit 30
You fail to understand the drama of that contest. Bird missed early shots INTENTIONALLY so he could win it all on the final ball. That's why he walks with his finger in the air before the last shot dropped.
It’s called “Best Performances” not “Best Scores.” Yeah, Hodges hit 19 in a row, but Birds was a legendary performance. Rumor had it that he intentionally missed all of those shots to come back and hit that last shot. Is that true? I have no clue. And also, that warm-up jacket. What a show.
Well I see why he put this Larry Bird one at no. 1. You gotta understand the moment. Sure it wasn’t a very good three point performance. Although he had won the last two as well, he needed a certain amount to win it. And that last ball, that he shot to win his third three point contest in a row, he called it and knew it was going in, and put his finger up, knowing that it would drain. He also did it in his warmup.
Hodges 1, Bird 2, those are the most memorable. Hodges clearly number one 'cause I doubt that anybody will ever copy his performance, usually you start thinking when you don't miss, even as a great shooter
You guys just don't understand its about the PERFORMANCE, Bird had to beat 15 and he struggled and came back barely in the contest. Kept his warm up sweater on and put up his finger before the last shot went it. Legendary
Haha that’s a good joke. As a player or this three point contest ur wrong either one. Cause what he did is easily the most iconic moment in the nba three point contest history
The guy who made this video is clearly a Celtics fan...
Bird is beast. Though, not number one.
Definitely😂😂
hahaha
Im a pacers fan lol
Lucille Santiago it was number 1 cuz bird purposely missed all the shots to make it more insteresting and make it more of a challenge so he beat the other dude by 2 with the money ball
Bird missed more than double the shots of everyone else on the list
That's kind of the point... He was uncharacteristically cold as ice--- but stayed calm and poised. Now that's being a champion.
The greatest shooter of all time showed why in the last two racks.
Its about how he came back a won with one ball left
JD Sheehan fr hw should not be on here
@@ronaldm.6150 no he was not,klay thompson can easily kicked his ass.steph is the greatest shooter

I'm glad you put Craig Hodges in here. Not many people have heard about him.
EVICENTLT Birds were off a higher quality at theend when it REALLY COUNTS = IDIOT MORON'S
His performance was the best ever.
Jesus Shuttlesworth he supposed to be no.1 on this list he got 20 or more straight shoots made before he missed not Bird, he was the worst one.
He has an emerald evo card in 2k20
#FACTS
2:39 Are you f*cking kidding me !? Your #3 is the Real #1...Craig Hodges made 19 shots in a row !!

Didn’t even break the record and missed his last 3 nah
Larry Bird best shooter all time and he broke his hand before the NBA saying he didn’t even shoot half as good anymore and look how he shot...
Yeah
Joe Naso What a Joke !! Lol Larry Bird is not even in the Top 50 3-points shots made of all time so do your research...The best 3-point shooter of all time is Steph Curry.

3-Mark Price: 20/25 Score:24
4-Peta Stojakovic: 18/25 Score:22

Jøséph Āntön tru, tru. He was a great 3-point shooter. Nobody talks about him. Even Chris Webber said it on open court.
Stephen Curry is the Mark Price version 2.0
Quickness, handles, good passer with deep range of the bounce. Price would be 25-10 every season if he played today.
He's better than Curry.

Somehow the actual 25pt round that was constantly referenced, isn’t on the list 🤔
Price & Hodges’s for me too! But I’d lean more towards hodges I mean 19 in a row that’s super impressive! That is number 1 in my opinion!
19 in a row is absolute insanity, won't be forgotten by anyone who watched it live.
This guy who posted this, owes 6:51 of my life back...

Was the basket smaller in 88 or why is the guy who missed most of the shots on 1?
Matimio Seal that’s what I’m saying
Because of how he came back historically to tie the game. Rumors say he did it to mock the guy who went before him. That's just how Larry Legend is.
Matimio Seal his name isn't guy it's Larry Jesus
no he fucking didn't 😂😂😂he simply missed the shots, not deserved #1. not even close
skankhunt42 - Even if he did miss most players would have probably lost by then but not him.
Why does missing 3 or 4 at the end, and making many to start, seem a pattern?
Stojakovic was the best!!
If Mark Price hadn't gone cold on the last rack in 1994 he would have probably had the highest score bragging rights. Even his misses looked liked keepers.
