Basketball fans Reacting to Larry Bird "Highlights" for the first time || He’s definitely valid 🤯 

Props to your brother for being so knowledgeable

DEFINITELY VALID. Lil' man knows his basketballl history

Larry Bird was the best player in the league from 1984-87 and was checked by some of the greatest defenders of all time: Bobby Jones, Scottie Pippen. Dennis Rodman and Michael Cooper. And he averaged over 10 rebounds a game. It's tough but I have him as my all-time small forward and I've been watching since the 70's. The young fella knows his stuff too. Smart young man.

The NBA was definitely more entertaining back then. Anything could happen! Jordan,Bird and Magic ruled the League.

In the '80s Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were the best, back and forth

Great reaction. Lil dude knows his stuff.

Larry could do it all. He not only could shoot but pass, rebound, and could play good defense. Larry has three championship rings, three consecutive league MVPs, created the 50/40/90 club, and many other accolades. He played against some of the best of all time in a very, very talent-rich era. And he is one of the greatest trash talkers of all time.

What a good kid you have there. I had to say it because I don't see many anymore.

THE most COMPLETE player EVER! LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN & THE TRUE GOAT 🐐 ☘️

Larry Bird's rookie contract - "In 1979 he signed a five-year, $3.25 million contract with the Celtics. That deal was the highest rookie contract at the time in ANY sport." "Magic Johnson/s rookie contract with the LA Lakers was signed after they picked him up from Michigan State. It was worth around $2.3 million over five years as part of the entry level deal he struck with Lakers owner Jack Kent Cooke."

dude the defense was way tougher back then. no touch fouls like today. they were rough

Shooting from where: "ANYWHERE" is the only acceptable answer on that...but this is really a great breakdown of Larry's place in NBA history.

Larry actually retired in 92. The CEREMONY was in 93, on a night with no game. Standing room only.

Larry and magic ruled the 80s in the nba. They saved the nba as it was failing miserably without their rivalry there would be no nba meaning no jordan kobe curry lebron or shaq. The billy goat jordan took what larry and magic did and made it a world wide phenomenon. Jordans bulls mixtape is a must now along with magics too.

The kid knows his stuff! Kevin McHale and Robert Parish formed the Boston Big Three with Bird. Three rings in six years ain't bad.

I love Larry Bird. I was born into a Celtics family. I remember watching Celtics games with my grandmother.

Your whole family is legend when it comes to intelligence. God bless your parents.

Uhhh. Your little brother is cool. I could hang with him. He’s got a great eye for basketball AND history.

A great one.. Merry Christmas to you dudes..

You are a student of the game. In the bean,we call him Larry legend, true basketball genius

3:27 Larry broke so many ankles because he was a true triple threat he could do anything at any time so you had to respect his shot, dribble, and passing! You had to worry about everything in his game so a lot of defenders fell for his moves because if you didn't try to block it or jump it he was gonna put it in your face!

you guys are adorable. hope you guys have a wonderful christmas.

Props to the kid for having some historical perspective.

MJ was the second best player back then.🤐

He retired from the NBA in August 1992. The ceremony you saw at the beginning and end of this video was his number retirement by the Celtics in February of 1993. There was no game that night, and the Boston garden sold out to standing room only, and Magic Johnson flew across the country to be there

Michael Jordan 0-6 vs bird in playoffs won 3 point contest 3 years in a row and won mvp 3 years in a row

Little man knows his old school basketball. You go!

Very impressed with his knowledge

Lil man is almost on point with his insight, well done man 👊 Bird made millions right from the start in 1979

Lil dude was super knowledgeable about basketball history. He's very impressive. W reaction.

Little man knows his hoops! You have a nice channel Jemima. Yes, having lived through the Bird era....he mystified people. he played with his head.

That young man is really impressive.

Young man you know some basketball history! ❤️

I am super impressed by your brothers knowledge of old school basketball... A lot of grown NBA fans don't really know anything about Larry Bird! In my opinion Bird is the 🐐

Thank you guys, Awesome! Loved it.

Love my little man comments. He is no joke, and knows what he's talking about! 👏👏👏👍

There's a famous quote from Pat Riley "with the game on the line I want Jordan, with my life on the line I'll take Bird."

Larry Legend is the GOAT in my opinion

Second comment: that's the best honest breakdown grown men argue about but can't say it that simply. It was a joy back then because we had a handful of stars. Now it's entertaining because there's a lot more stars. That's it. Simple as that. Same for football, hockey, baseball, and soccer.

There was NOTHING holding back those Boston fans from rushing the court after a big win.NOTHING

I was done subscribing until I watched this video. Loved it. Thanks!

Larry Legend, all there is to say. He should be on all time starting team

another excellent video

You're going to have to watch quite a few Larry Bird highlight videos, of different kinds, to find out what his full impact on the game was. He was amazing. Probably the most complete basketball player there ever was as far as all around skills. Passing, shooting, winning, clutch shots, IQ, and more

This reaction was a holiday treat for all of us. Thank you two for the smile on my face. Happy New years to all.

Brilliant young man🙏🏽

Bird played with a partially broken back, had Bird played today, if he stubbed his toe, he would be out for a week or two. Enjoying you and your son...😄

Great reaction guys! Subbed! Love how knowledgeable lil bro is on bird and the game from the past! Would love to see you guys to react to nhl greatest hits Nhl best saves Nhl knock outs Nhl fights Cheers from 🇨🇦 Ps would love to see more reaction with lil bro

Bird was the only player ever to beat every legend of his era. He swept Jordan's Bulls in 86 & 87 playoffs.

Lil man is a hooper hooper. Love to see it!

New sub. Think the young man knows a lot of insight into the NBA back in the day. Do more Larry Bird it will do u a lot of good going down that road. Enjoyed this.

Amazing young man!

Larry Bird's first contract with the Celtic was for 3.5 million over a 5 year contract. It was the largest deal at that time.

Lil man knows his stuff

Bird would absolutely run roughshod in today's game. He played against a slew of HoF players in a time of physical play that would stop a game and involve the Police in today's league. Todays players are free to flow and demonstrate their athleticism,which leads to the false impression that today's players are quicker,faster,jump higher and are simply more athletic than in Bird's day. Fact is that if left alone to move freely, Bird's era would have looked the same.

Lil bro knows the deal!

Bird is the greatest small forward to ever play!

What a smart young man ⭐️

Your lil brother knows way more than you do. Smart lil boy

Played with a broken back before rookie year

🐐

You keep hearing about Larry Bird because he was a great shooter, rebounder, passer, and the greatest clutch player that ever played the game.

Little man knows a good amount of ball and economic knowledge. He's going places. I'd say should play ball but idk his skill, could be a coach for sure, but maybe get into economics lol smart little guy man, damn. Like unbelievable....I'm definitely sharing and showing a lot

Respect to shorty here

As far as pay goes, Legend was the highest paid rookie ever, across all sports.

Love this kid! Luv Old Boston

i like you and your brother is knowledgeable and cool

The kid looks like a young Chris Carter the legendary Vikings receiver.

The reason the jab step worked for Larry is because he was an amazing passer and unselfish. If lebron tried it I know he's not passing so wouldn't bite.

Your brother: Has the potential to be an amazing coach or GM one day!

Absolutely the most impressive thing I have ever seen on a basketball court was the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk competition. You might want to watch that as an example of what humans can achieve.

❤

Bird was the word 👍

Larry and Magic were very similar skill wise. Both could play all 5 position. Bird use to fill in at center in some formation. It was not uncommon for him to bring the ball up the court. The number player on the team had to be Kevin MicHale. Cedric Cornbread Maxwell was it before McHale. DJ could play, Angie was a 3 point shooter, Parish was at center. All could score when needed.

you gotta react to the video of Larry and Magics upbringing from childhood right through, and how their friendship blossomed thru hardships & good times! You'll have a better understanding of their story....

Should watch "making the case" for Larry being the goat. I still got Jordan but it breaks down Larrys stats and everything

Larry bird is top 5 dead or alive. Imagine a man telling you what he is about to do to you and you can't stop him. Larry legend videos get views!

Birds The Goat

Kid knows his stuff but I’ll say this bball was a mans game back in birds day it’s soft as puddy today barely watchable

Bird made 24 million in 13 seasons

This kid is Great ✌🏻😁

A recent comparison for Larry is Luka Doncic, though they really can't talk like they used to. Larry was a talker, there's videos and compilations of legends talking about it.

He's a genius

@9:33 Bird had his finger and his back fcked up before the iconic parts of his career. He could've been greater

P.S. Larry Bird signed the highest rookie contract at that time! ✌❤T.NoBoDY

Magic took 1 million a year to be cap friendly because he likes winning. Others on the Lakers were paid more, but Magic made his money via investing and endorsements .

Kids awesome

Great reaction, but you don't have to yell when you're talking to the camera. I have a volume problem myself sometimes.

Guys....at 2:07 you see his retirement ceremony from 1993.....at 2:23 you both do not know when he retired....guys......

Back then Larry Bird was the highest paid making 3 million a year

His name was and is Larry Legend lil homie. I don't need to tell you that though! You're well on your way to be a bigger and better fan than me 💯 Even get on the court yourself if it's your blessing.

The youn boy with you knows hes game. A. B. From Australia.

For those that think Larry Bird was not as good as he really was. This comment is for those whom never had the chance to see him play. At that time it was not about the individuals stats it was about the win. But if you need some stats here you go: Here are some of Larry Bird's notable career achievements and statistics: Three-time NBA champion (1981, 1984, 1986); Two-time NBA Finals MVP (1984, 1986); Three-time NBA MVP (1984-86); 12-time NBA All-Star (1980-88, 1990-92); Nine-time All-NBA First Team (1980-88); All-NBA Second Team (1990); Three-time All-NBA Defensive Second Team (1982-84); NBA Rookie of the Year (1980); NBA All-Rookie Team (1980); Three-time NBA Three-Point Contest champion (1986-88); Career-high in points: 60 (March 12, 1985) -- tied for franchise record with Jayson Tatum; Named NBA Coach of the Year (1998); and Named NBA Executive of the Year (2012). Larry Bird, was the first player to accomplish the 50-40-90 achievement, and one of two players to achieve the feat in multiple seasons. Career averages: 24.3 points per game 10.0 rebounds per game 6.3 assists per game 88.6% free throw percentage 49.6% field goal percentage 37.6% 3-point percentage Now we can't forget that Bird famously played with two injured ankles and a notoriously cranky back that forced him to lay down on the floor during practice breaks. He likely used these crutches after season-ending foot surgery just six games into the 1988-89 season

FYI: Durant only can wish that he is half as good as the Legend.

Dang! Lil brother knows his history. It was a tougher game back then. If you could watch the old games in high def, you’d like it more than todays games. The quality of footage from then is so poor I’m sure it’s painful for you to watch. Lol. It really was bad back then. 😎

funny thing lil boy there saying that Larry better feature was the 3pt shot... because the 3point shoot was established the year he came to the NBA , so nobody was practicing that... so thinking that Larry best thing is something that he developed as he was in the NBA, talks a lot about his other skills... he was a great passer... he had like 10 rebounds a game thru his career... so arguably, a GOAT claim

🐦 = subbed 😃 Magic And Bird A Courtship Of Rivals is great.

Sorry. Chanp.....those moves would drop people today, too. ;)

Players from the 80's would thrive today. Today's players would fold in the 80's. The play-offs the year before Bird & Magic entered the league were on tape delay!! The NBA almost folded before Bird.

bird the greatest of all time! shut out the mj bulls not once but two years back to back, mj couldn't even get one game.
