Larry Bird's last Big Game: 49 Point Triple Double on 1992 Blazers two months before retirement.

Спорт

Just two months before his retirement, with a painful back condition, Larry Bird delivers an extraordinary game against the soon-to-be Western Conference Champions, the Portland Trail Blazers. 49 points, grabs 14 rebounds, and dishes out 12 assists.

    This was the 10th to the last regular season game Larry Bird would play in the NBA, when he scored the 49 point triple double against Portland. He'd spent the previous offseason having a Hail Mary back surgery that ultimately didn't work. According to his teammates, Larry had to wear a hard shell back brace just to be able to play. I got curious and checked. After Larry Bird played this game and retired, no one in the NBA would have this high of a scoring triple double again until Russell Westbrook finally tied it in 2015. That's 23 Years! AND that's after the NBA spent 2 decades, over and over, changing rules and officiating with the STATED PURPOSE of making it easier for shooters to score. And it still took 23 years! That made me look backwards. And it turns out that in the early years of the 90's and across the entirety of the 80's no one scored that high of a triple double either. Twice during that span, 2 guys came close with 47 point triple doubles. One of those guys was Michael Jordan and the other one was...Larry Bird. You have to go all the way back to 1975, in the prior era, before the ABA merger when not all the best players were even playing in the same league against each other, when Kareem scored a 50 point triple double to find one better. Not only was Larry on his last legs, playing in pain when he did this, he had also lost his love for basketball because Magic had been forced to retire before the start of this season because of his HIV diagnosis. But, his team needed him to do it to win this game to try to make it to the playoffs one more time. So, he did it. Old, broken down, ruined back, broken hearted Larry Bird held the highest scoring triple double across a 40 year span of modern NBA. I feel like if this had been any other superstar, this would be a big deal and talked about a lot more. Thank you for the video.

    For those who don’t know much about Birds play style. He’s best described as a hybrid between Jokic and Luka, superior defender than either and shoots the ball like KD. He played in the wrong generation. One of the greatest shooters ever but only ever took 2 threes a game max because the 3 point line came the year he entered the league so it was still taboo at first. In today’s NBA with the spacing, pick and roll play, and emphasis in 3 point shooting his game would have thrived even more than he did in the 80s

    I believe they had just one loss at home in 1986. 50-1 for the season thru the playoffs.

    As usual, Rick Adelman was out coached. Why would you have Danny Ainge , who is a great free throw shooter, on the bench when you are inbounding the b-ball, up 3 with 10 seconds to play? Instead, they leave Kersey and Buck Williams on the court, who are notorious bad free throw shooters. The ball should have been thrown in to either Terry Porter, or Danny Ainge, with Drexler being a 3rd option. Blazers win at least 1 title with good coaching in this era.

    That was a travel and a 2 point shot at the end of regulation. Bird got the homer call, twice in one play. Regardless, from this PTB fan and season ticket holder at the time, an epic game.

    Bird's career could have been better if Len Bias who was picked in 1986 hadn't died of an overdose. Bias was better than Jordan, think of a Kevin Garnett only 10 years earlier. Bird and Bias and Mchale and Parish would've torn up the league and won multiple championships.

    I HATE this game! BUT, please hear me out, for CONTEXT: I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. The Celtics have KILLED the Blazers. In 1992-93, I found out, at that juncture, the only three teams to have a winning record AT Portland, were Boston, the Lakers, and Milwaukee. It is now 2024, and I am 51. My biggest SPORTS wish, is for Portland to have a winning record (even by one game) against Boston, in games AT Portland, before I pass away. It's NOT going to happen. In 1984 when I was 11, my Dad's friend Mason Sr brought his family, and at a picnic, Mason Jr accidentally made me step into the pond with my shoes on, and they are from BOSTON. Just a few days later, I saw Larry Bird (I hate White athletes) KILLING the Sonics, in a Seattle at Boston game. Worst of all, in the NBA Champions list, I saw Boston Boston Boston Boston EIGHT times! How DARE they!! Championship hogs!! If I were born in Boston, and Caucasian, I would LOVE the Celtics and Larry Bird. But, because I'm Japanese-American, I HATE the Celtics! Same with the Houston Astros: If I were born in Houston, and were Caucasian, I would LOVE the Astros and Alex Bregman and Justin Verlander. Because I am NOT Caucasian, and NOT born in Houston, I HATE the Astros, Bregman and Verlander. Before ANY Caucasian-American snaps back at me, keep in mind, you are a STRONG White person, and think hard: By snapping at a helpless minority Asian VICTIM like me, don't you feel like a bully?
