@@GOPMAN71 Maybe you'd understand it if you understood his past. Every Bird kid worked to give his money to keep afloat. How many times have you heard his tremendous work ethic. That wasn't just on the court. But yes you're right. But it was his work ethic. Larry just *refused* to take any pain medicine. His mom worked two waitressing jobs to pay the bills for six kids. His dad pretty much stopped child support. He was an alcoholic but the family still loved him and all. He committed suicide when Bird was 19. But it was his dad who gave him strength against doing the job through pain. Like crushing his foot at his foot and having the kids force it on and then tie the laces really tight. The Birds were so poor and got bullied through school. By the second week each month all the money was left to buy Wonder bread and left over condiments on it. Maybe bologna as a treat. LOL But yeah it was just pride. He wasn't going to pay someone else for a job he can himself I guess.

Larry said Magic is the best baskets player he's ever seen. He went home and told his brothers. And they asked, even better than you? Larry said yes. His brothers went to watch one of Magic's games and they all agreed Magic was better. Magic pushed Larry to his limits. Larry even copied some of Magic's moves; like no look passes. When people complain and say things like, so and so stole someone's move, II don't see that as a negative, I've always seen that as a plus. You have to be one heck of a ball player to copy another player's moves. That's why when people say Kobe is only great because he stole most of MJ's moves, I would always tell them, do you know how hard to copy someone's style of playing and to be just as good as the person you are copying. Kobe is the goat. The stats doesn't tell the full story.

I didn't answer so he said, tell coach Ramsey(RIP) I will be shooting from the far corner. Told the coach and the coach said, "he is trying to get in your head Steve". Needless to say, that's where he made the game winner as the clock ran out. Then had the nerve to ask as we are going down the tunnel, "Hey Steve did you tell him? Heck of a player!

Then he turns around and calmly says: "I told Ya" How is that not Legendary. I'm telling you, I'm going Old School Hoops because It was All about sacrifice to Win, it was all about the Game. Now it's about $65 million and a shitty, cry baby attitude. Only M.J. was what I call "In The Air Poster Worthy" (Kobe, Basketball Gods, please Rest His Soul) had that same impact on the game, only her was clearly the better outside shooter, going in, he mimicked Michael, and why the hell not, right? lol, I did as a kid and I'm just a skinny little white boy, but they could not catch me, they could not out jump me. I wasn't Spud Webb, but @ 5'-6 1/2" *Stereotypes that white dudes are supposed to jump, I was able to slam a tennis call and @ 9'8" a dodgeball, and @ 9'0", a basketball. But, I had what I call; "The Stuff", Do you have "The Stuff" in anything you compete in? Job, Drag racing, gaming, hitting children (Kidding!, Oh...) It's just that little extra something that I call "The Stuff". *Not to bring up Mister LeBron James, but when he said he was the Greatest, I thought it wasn't that he said it, but how he said it. I don't remember who he was sitting with, but at the time Kobe was still playing. I'm sorry, but It's like this (for the era's I grew up with. Here would be my 5 starters: 1. Point Guard: Isiah Thomas [Savage, 16 points/90 seconds/ twisted ankle. I call that greatness. 2. Shooting Guard: *This will get some Booooz, But I would go with Kobe over M.J. by a few notches. It's because Kobe could shoot outside. It diminished his shooting % but of course, that would. *That is a difficult choice 3. Center: Either a 1968 Wilt (Quite literally the most gifted athlete in his time, and being 145 feet tall didn't hurt at all. It's no wonder he had 100 fkn points. But for my era, Prime David Robinson. 4. Small Forward: Healthy Grant Hill. The man easily was great. I would never go with Pippen (I can't believe people think he's so good. His career was snuffed and suffocated by Michael. **Imagine Pippen as a Laker in the '90s** 5. Big Forward: I would put Bird there, without hesitation. When his back wasn't an issue, he could post/shoot everywhere/ and Pass blindfolded. Need a 3? Ask Bird. Need another clutch shot? Kobe. Need a fighter who never backed down, Isiah. David was always very powerful and in a lot of ways a 'force of nature' that could shoot free throws. Grant Hill was getting better at shooting mid-range as the years went on, and who else would keep coming back after those foot issues. Jesus Christ! I was a bit zoned out there. FK.

The difference was that back then you had athleticism from fundamentally sound Atheletes, most who spent considerable time in college and who all had a skill set to showcase! That's why those were some amazing games to watch 👏👌. Quality type physically played basketball at it's finest with the objective being to win. You know the East and West always wanted bragging rights going into the next year as to who had the better players and that was "A Players Thing Amoung Them" It was personal to them. Certainly not the stuff they do now. All these dunks and oops with no defense, careless passing with wide open 3's that aren't even contested. Man, it's a joke watching the all-star games now!

People forget Larry went to the NBA after 5 years of college. Then retired early because of a bad back. His career was short by today’s standards so the career stats aren’t as impressive as modern players. But when he played he was truly legendary.

I have seen and heard these stories many times before but you counting them down and giving your take as a fan made them all like new again. Good job on this video, I really enjoyed watching. One I think you could have included but didn't was that entire Atlanta game - just watching the reactions of the players on the Hawks' bench as Larry surgically dissected them continues to entertain the HELL out of me. You showed one, but if you watch the entire game, it builds to the point where they are coming off the bench in disbelief and laughter. He was entertaining the crowd and playing basketball at the highest level. That's how easy it was for him. He could have been a Globetrotter. I think Pat Riley once said that if I had to choose a person to make a shot to win the game I would pick Michael Jordan but if I had to choose a person to make a shot to save my life, it would be Larry Bird.

Just think, quite literally you could have been Larry Bird, and Larry Bird could have been talking about how You still had it. That sounds odd, but it is 100%. I did a lot of that until about winter, 2012 @ 34. I wasn't quite as fast, but I know how to maximize the opportunity to shoot. FK dribbling around like Allen Iverson. All the shit is fun to do, but "Get to the FKN Hoop, Already!!". You notice Michael Jordan really didn't do a lot of 'amazing' dribbling. If you are going to shoot, shoot. Stand there looking at the man guarding you...Nah!! If the outside shot is there, duh. But Mid-Range is where you either get to be GOAT or just a poser. The 7-footers are inside, you have a guard like speed @ 6'7'...ish, or you are 6'0" Isiah Thomas/Allen Iverson who would fight Pitbulls to either get you the ball or to absolutely make you look like a 7th grader on the playground, watching your favorite high school player do his thing. I remember those days, I was short/fast, and although better equipped for the playgrounds, all I wanted to do was show the older guys I could shoot. So, in the 9th grade, I made 26 3-pointers in 18 games and averaged about 10 points a game. SO either I blew past you for the easy layup, or I smoke you from 3 point land. If my math is correct, 26X3= 78 of 180 points were 3 pointers, for I'm thinking about 44%. I don't know for a fact, but I would be willing to bet that no other 9th grader since was this efficient of a scorer, even @ 10 P.P.G. *It is Not absolutely about the Points, it's about HOW to take your shots, and how you manage your areas. So, when I was draining 3's, and the Varsity Coach (Mister Tom Steffan) said to me after another 4 three-pointer night, "Nice shooting". Many of the varsity players complimented me for shooting and lightning speed. I had a lot of traveling calls because I would rush the fake left, go right, but eventually, ya either figure it out or you go cry to your mommy. So, in 10th grade, my interest painfully diminished because the Coach (My 4th-grade Teacher) had his own Son as Center, so there was a lot of pointing figures at me because I got pissed he couldn't understand that I was getting to him. *Maybe I was too fast because he fumbled around a lot. So, I stuck to the Concrete where I learned and kicked their asses down at the park. Sorry about my life story. I have been doing a lot of reflecting lately and shooting more hoops than usual so I guess it's no wonder. Thanks for reading, if you did!! Take care

@Charles McCarron I haven't watched basketball in a very long time. I have wAtched the stats on how Stephen Curry has games of 13 makes, and I wonder how it could be they do not guard the guy. He's insane as a shooter, but after 5, you'd be focusing on the greatest threat. Defense must be a thing of the past. 2004 Listens allowed barely 89 points per game. That's unheard of anymore. That's why Jordan perfected his mid-range game. It's hard to guard mid range with a player that can blow by you with an oven more dominant drive to the hoop, creating all around. 3's used to mean something. Dunks used to mean something. I watched dunks of 2018 and they jump and go over 7footers to dunk. Now where does the integrity of the game go?

An example can be looked up when asked who was better Lebron James or Larry Bird and Smith went into this long comparison between the two but in the end gave the edge to James because James is more athletic than. Bird was. What? Simple-for Stephen A Smith Larry Bird’s skin is the wrong color.

ar·ro·gant /ˈerəɡənt/ adjective having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities. So Larry Bird wasn't arrogant.

Excellent compilation! THIS kind of confidence and the ability to back it up is why I believe Larry Bird was the best to ever play the game!!! Nobody exhibited that kind of confidence, and nobody was able to back up their confidence as thoroughly as Larry Bird. Truly a legend when it comes to basketball. Just wish he would give glory to God for his skills, the work ethic, and the intense desire to succeed that was instilled in him. He made the most of those gifts. Just wish he would praise the Giver of those gifts.

@@ckobo84 You never played with me! I hate losing because I represent the Lord Jesus Christ, and He is perfect. But you're right if the religion one believes in makes them pacifistic. Otherwise, that is a pretty idiotic, stereotypical thing to say.

I'd take Bird in his prime, before the back injuries over any player in today's game and yes that includes Lebron and KD, having said that, I think the thumbnail is pretty funny, because in that game Bird couldn't guard Wilkins either.

Nobody could guard Nique. Everyone talks about Bird vs. Magic because their legacies crossed paths, and rightfully so. But Bird & Nique had the best heads up battles the game has ever seen imo, because of playing the same position and in the same conference. Neither could stop the other.

Fun fact: after the game he shot with his left hand, he said, I’m saving my right hand for the Lakers
