That's perfect, the first pass (1:46) is to me easily the best pass I've ever seen in my life. Over the shoulder, with REVERSE spin on it (since it's coming over his shoulder), so he can go to the right of the defender and then have it pop back left to McHale...for the layup. INSANE!!!

Bird could do it all...and I mean ALL. Who you know in NBA history who get you 10 rbs. with 2 other bigs on the floor, shoot 40% from 3, 90%FT shooter, stone-cold clutch shooter (tell you about and back it up),ambidextrous around the rim up to 10 ft away, pass with vision like Magic?

Even towards the end of his career as he was picked for the Dream Team, a reporter commented to Jordan in an interview about Larry Bird being more of a symbolic choice for the team. This pissed off Jordan and he responded: "I don’t care how old or in pain Larry Bird is, you name me a forward in this league who’s not already on the team who can rebound, throw the outlet pass to get the break going, shoot the three-pointer, play in the half-court and has the presence of Bird."

@@heartoflion3736 - I don’t consider MJ as THE Goat, great yes, Goat no. You’ve got to understand the era of ball Bird played in and it was a helluva’ lot tougher than Jordan’s time. The main difference is Jordan was all about himself, just look at all the statements his teammates have said. Now, go and listen to what Bird’s said and his opposing teams players had to say about him as well. I’m not all about “ show” and believe being great means bringing people up to the standards, lead by example. Again, MJ was great in his era, but we can’t compare the times they played in the league with each other and give it to MJ......apples and oranges.

Larry beat every single top star of his Era in the playoffs... Dr J , Magic, Hakeem, Isaiah, Barkley and MJ.

Those long range touch passes particularly blow my mind

Bird plays like street ball because he grew up playing street ball.

Love your videos bro. Magic vs bird will never be replicated. I love those two men. People say they saved basketball. I think they did more than that. They spread that infectious love they had to their fans, who spread it to their family and friends. Point blank, they saved the world. The world was better in the 80’s while magic and bird respectfully duked it out on the court. And it made everyone around them better people. Period.

Bird is the absolute GOAT in all phases of the game ! The proof is that Larry Bird was an NBA player and was bored in the league. He announced before a game the he would play left handed and scored almost 30, over 10 assists and almost 10 rebounds. The man was bored !

"I patterned my whole game off Larry Bird. He paved the way for all small forwards to achieve excellence. Too many people think that he was just a jump shooter but he was so much more. He was also one of the *GREATEST* passers ever in the league." He said a few more accolades however I can't remember them all. "I would rather guard Michael Jordan than LARRY BIRD.

"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

When Lebron got old enough to know who Larry was, Lebron started taking notes.

Liked the Celts back then also the Blazers with Jerome Kersey, Clyde the Glide Drexler & Terry Porter. The NBA had so much talent and excitement

So glad you realized just how good Larry was! Bird said he used to play with the Black guys in pick up games when he was in high school. He said he wanted to play with those guys because they were so good and it up'd his game! The most unique part of Bird was his work ethic!! He was always practicing, and running laps before games when the other team was having a shoot around. when you don't have the natural physical skills like almost all black athletes, then you beat them with your mental ability and court awareness. Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale have both said, they are in the Basketball Hall of Fame because of Larry Bird!!

The Olympic “Dream Team” was something to behold when it happened. I was lucky enough to grow up in the 80s so I got to see these guys in their prime

Magic & Larry, resurrected the game of basketball......My dad loved basketball, but stopped watching, until the competition between Johnson & Bird was highlighted......What my Dad used to say, about Larry's game, is that it reminded him of someone, who was not only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, hockey, baseball, football, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, and was what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique and gifted players, I have ever watched!

Bird was still in college when Bobby Knight said that Bird had the best court awareness of anyone at any level.

You are right, a great era of the game. But hey, there were some before that one too. The Russell and Chamberlain period was awesome as well. As ball fan, you probably know about Connie Hawkins. Oh my, had he gotten to play in the NBA from the get go. He probably inspired the play of the Doctor. The Hawk was one of my favorites. There are many.

There's a reason he earned the nickname Larry Legend before he even hung up his shoes. The old saying "He was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers" applies to Larry like no other. Think about it this way. Magic and the Lakers were stacked DEEP! Kobe used to ask the Legends "How did you get beat by Larry? He looked slow as hell." He WAS slow physically but that brain was always 3 steps ahead. If a Team had problems keeping up, imagine being his Teammate. Look at these passes and tell me how in hell do you practice that? Magic and Larry had a great rivalry on the Court but an even Greater friendship off of it. MJ had a love, hate relationship for years. MJ and the Bulls lost to Larry and the Celtics the 6 times (if I remember correctly) they met in the Playoffs. People talk about being SAVAGE today. Larry was a BRUTAL SAVAGE. He'd bitch about being disrespected if you put a White guy on him to guard. Tell the other team the play, then do it! Think you want to throw hands? Dr. J was the ONLY one that got the better of him because 2 of his teammates were holding Larry. No problem. He dropped 36 points on them after that so who really won that one? Larry was on the downhill slide when The Dream Team was put together yet he was still selected. And what a dream it was.

My fave pass was when he threw it at Bill Laimbeer’s head lol

28 was Quinn Buckner. Good Defensive Guard. Won Olympic Gold Medal and NCAA champtionship in 1976. College Basketball announcer now. Maxwell was 31. Great forward. One of the best finishers around the rim ever. Always had a high FG%, even thought I don't remember him having a good shot. But right under the cup, he was killer. Very good defensive player. Could be a bit streaky. Could take over games sometimes too. Energetic guy. Totally a guy you wanted on your team. He totally keeps that LA-Boston rivalry alive. He still hates LA to this day. LOL. Will never let Magic live down his mistakes from the 1984 Finals. He has a very funny story about Larry Bird's first day of practice and how the pros wanted to show him up. Look for that. He also talks about how small town Bird was. All he could talk about was basketball. Nothing else. I don't think with today's focus on stats beyond points that Maxwell would have won the Finals MVP. Bird was clearly the reason the Celtics won. He didn't shoot well and averaged only 15 pts to Maxwell's 17, but Bird had 15 rpg and 7apg which is crazy. Bird had a big game in the close out but by then the storyline was set that Bird had a poor series. Maxwell was a big Part of the Celts defense. He would take the best scoring forward leaving Bird often covering the power forward......but this also freed up Bird to wreak havoc on the other team with his anticipation and help defense which was fantastic. In the 1981 Finals Bird had back to back 5 steal games.

He was a multi-dimension hoop stud of the highest order. Check out game 6 of the 1986 finals. He had telepathy.

Basketball was number one for me as a kid and I was lucky to have my first consistent memories of watching basketball being the 83-84 season. I remember big things from earlier but 83-84 season is when I started watching it in a different way. Taking the game itself in and thinking about it when I was shooting hoops in my driveway alone when none of my friends were around to shoot with. Trying to apply things as a little kid. Being allowed to stay up for the Celts Lakers championships. Then other big games as I got a little older. No KZread and we definitely weren’t inside for clips on the local evening news the next day. Opting for the Sports Illustrated videos in my subscription and trying to earn money around the house to buy as much as I could. In ways I’m jealous that younger generations had or have so much at their fingertips. All love though, happy that kids have it. Lifelong Celts fan but I appreciate so much from growing up in that era. Some things will always be better from particular eras. I can say it sucked being in college and having no way to watch those Bulls teams without going to a bar. Usually went even when I didn’t feel like being at a bar. And always paid the price. So I love watching takes on stuff I knew about but missed. There’s a lot of good reviewing going on. I appreciate legitimate stuff, different stuff from different people.

That's a huge key as to why those Celtics teams were so incredibly difficult to beat.

If you weren't fully prepared to step on the court and play you likely weren't A Celtic very long.

What Rah doesn't realize is that if you pause the video at just the right spot, you can see a time travelling Larry bird coming up behind Rah to silence him so the secret doesn't get out but bird faded back into the shadows when he heard Rah was only trolling about Larry Studying Lebron.

Bird played basketball like his life literally depended on his team winning. Nobody left his heart, soul, and body on the court like Bird did. Even Pat Riley said if he needed a guy to take a shot to win the game he'd take MJ, but if he needed a guy to take a shot to save his life he'd take Larry Bird. All due respect to Lebron and all the others out there, but Bird was head and shoulders above them all at small forward. And the question of GOAT is of course subjective, but he's certainly in the top 5 players ever at any position.

The crazy thing was, Bird was as good as anybody that ever played the game even during his last 7 years playing hurt.....Bird's overall play was unequaled against everyone, including the legends when he was healthy. Bird dominated the entire league from the minute he entered the league.

Bird was the best passer and a lot of experts agree.

All the top tough 90s guys came up getting roughed up by tougher 80s guys. 1980 through 2000 was about as exciting of an era to watch. It held 4 complete dynasties, and saw the birth of a 5th in 99 with the Spurs. Showtime Lakers, 80s Celtics, late 80s early 90s Bad Boy Pistons, 90s Bulls are all top 10 all time teams. All had to butt heads with each other. That pinnacle of complete teams created Jordan. They created a team that was almost impossible to beat in a 7 game series. If you couldn't beat the Bad Boys or the 80s Celtics, probably couldn't beat the Bulls. They were the only team that ever had to design itself to stop 2 completely styled dynasties. Made them extremely hard to gain advantage of in a series. Not only did that special era create all those teams, it literally pummeled and beat into greatness the spawning of that 90s Bulls run. Its going to be so hard just to recreate the scenario again to create that. It was just a perfect moment in time for basketball. I hate being that guy that just says my generation is better crap, because everyone wants to witness the greatest ever. We all wish we could watch Babe Ruth hit a homerun, or watch a rookie Lew Alcindor.. That era was special in so many ways. The toughness of that league can be measured in so many different ways. Just what the 80s spawned, Jordan and that Bulls team, is epic. Not even counting the unbelievable shows they put on themselves. The stars aligned for some reason in that era.

Not only did we have Bird, Magic, and the Doctor…we had all that great music and pretty good weed in the 80’s 😜
