Basketball Stories: Indiana Glory with Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, and Isiah Thomas | NBA on TNT 

definitely do i miss that show

With EJ

4 real

And pls don't put any WNBA or women analyst in that show

doubt it, the podcast world killed shows like open court

When it comes to punk b*tches Isiah's definitely the most legendary.

For real. Never should have cancelled it in the first place

I absolutely love this interview, but I’m from Naptown and I went on Saturday night and it was great!! My son and I had a blast!! Didn’t get to go on Sunday but I will say Saturday night was better than this interview.

💯

True but SAS made 17 out of 17.

@@faubourglincoln 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

It’s less exciting for TV viewers but I’m sure the experience with your son and getting to see a bunch of top tier players have fun was crazy. I’ve always wanted to go to one

only 4k? for me 4m

More people watched this.

infinitely better!

Good to know since I didn't watch all star game or any of the other events haha! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

Somewhere between 4000-4019x more entertaining, yes.

I'd say they ALL came out looking pretty classy in this conversation...

Out of every NBA store, I’ve heard speak Larry Bird has an amazing way with words, just straight classy

All of them did. Not just Larry

And he comes off as completely honest, unafraid of saying the wrong thing. I know on you tube at least it's the in thing to hate Isaiah, but he was a much better player than he gets credit for. I'm glad for the opportunity to watch all.these guys, I was a magic Johnson fan from well even before college. I read about this high school kid who was 6-9 playing guard , the first time I saw him play , I was in love. Here where l live everyone was a larry bird fan Celtics, so I seemed to always stand alone. Great days.

I would agree one hundred percent. This gentleman is how you conduct yourself.

You and Chuck both. Love those shows.

Haha same! I listened to them episodes over and over again when I was going to sleep. They should bring it back!

I swear, I thought I was the only one that did that my wife knows episodes word for word

The podcast world is killing today era!! Not gonna happened

literally

Different mentality

He said both, but he did say against first which definitely shows his mentality

And then there's LeFraud James who was so weak minded that he teamed up with two top 5 picks from his own draft class to win and stacked superteams everywhere he went.

@@thsu8 and he called himself goat too.... not one of the greatest players before had done that, even ones with huge ego like MJ

Boy Bron living in you hater suckas heads rent free​😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@szmike

YOU GOT IT.

Forever the legend

They both were. Bad boys get no love.

The only human who won MVP, finals MVP, COY, Olympics champion and executive of the year. He literally mastered the sport, imo Bird is the greatest ever (and I am a Lakers fan, but really, there's no contest)

For real though, if even half of the current NBA players had the mindset about the game and how they approach it like these 3 did, the game would be in a much better place.

but it is telling that isiah has to "squash" beef with karl malone, magic johnson, larry bird, and I'm sure he'll be the first one to try to get MJ, which he will never get.

when media tried to promote Larry as The Great White Hope, Larry shut all of that down

Man. But if Isiah would've killed that noise in the moment, it might've changed so much of the narrative around him which kept him off the Dream Team. Refusing to kiss Jordan's ring contributed, too. But the Bird/racism thing really hurt Zeke's reputation.

@@giantkiller56 That entire thing in 1987 was said by Rodman ... that if Bird were black he'd just be considered another great/good player -- which is true because Rodman's commentary was about how the media depicted black players vs. Larry Bird, a white guy who is not supposed to be this good but if he were black, he'd get treated like just another great/good player...it's the truth but nobody explained it well and Bird wasn't even thinking like that and he knows and knew Isiah was being sarcastic and joking as if to say, 'yeah right...' but Thomas repeated what he was told Rodman said and instead of leaving Rodman out to dry and ruining Rodman's career, Isiah Thomas took on that baggage and was 'the bad guy' because he knew what the politics of the league were and he knew where Rodman came from and that could have destroyed Rodman's career so Thomas doesn't get credit for sticking up for his teammate....Bird didn't think much of it and neither did Thomas or Rodman, just the media trying to make something out of nothing...guess what? They still don't talk about how Bird made it public how he kept getting offended when a white guy was guarding him....Bird said that several times and yet nobody says anything negative about Bird and depicting stereotypes among white players -- which ultimately proves Rodman's point. HAHAHA!

LARRY DID THAT ALL THE TIME. HE WAS THAT GOOD.

Kareem is antisocial .

Oh my gosh, that would be dope! Get McHale on there too because he is so funny! And Dominique too.

Obviously you are referring to Kareem as the captain. I think it's Larry but that's not important. If u can get those together then I'm here for it.

Kareem is not anti-social anymore.

Showed how he had people shook throughout the year.. he’s jokin and everybody got scared and quiet

Move on IT

Larry and MJ have a similar mindset. MJ is way colder bec he will never sit in the same room with Isiah or Pippen

@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 after the last dance, yea, but before that?i think MJ still okay sitting with Pip

konfronting birdie about wat?

@@pp-vf8ls yeah and Pippen was wrong. The first person to take something more personal than MJ which MJ took personal for life.

That Nets game was crazy. I think that's the same game he punched on like the whole team with two hands.

@@chrismoseley349 yup indy was an 8 seed. pushed 1 seed NJ to the brink. overtime, final game of the series

Its a good thing Reggie's a media personality now so people don't forget him. One of those guys like Allen Iverson that get talked down on by people that didnt watch him play and just see the numbers and don't understand how impactful they were. Kids are going to look at Reggie Millers 18 points a game and think he was like an Aaron Gordon level player, but my god anyone that watched him knows they want their team to play anyone but Reggie Miller in the playoffs.

@@ericlytle2209 Reggie only averaged 12 shots a game for his career. 18 points on 12 shots is incredible. Think about this, the 2 greatest scorers of all time (by ppg) are wilt chamberlain and michael jordan. and they averaged 23 shots a game for their careers. even jordan admitted reggie and the pacers were the closest anybody came to taking them down during their 6 title run

@@frankcross6958That’s the ultimate respect that any plyr can get if they get that from the goat MJ yo 💯💯💯

Excuse me? you are not a native of Indiana. And you will never be.

I’m from Houston. My first favorite player was Reggie, and loved the 90s and early 2000s pacers.

nah, MJ dont need that (he have Last Dance for it), Bird clearly needs to do it and as much as i hate IT Pistons, i really wants to see a biography about Isiah

Luka is so shy he wouldn't say coherent sentence in front of so much greatness 😂

Mjs got too much drama

Luka have to win first Larry was a winner

Larry is very low-key and private.

That competitive juice still flowing

@44:50

THATS LARRY!

“They’re used to coming off the bench”

And he said later on he wasnt too much of a trash talker 😂

That statement in its self is a form of mental cardio LOL Larry is something else man. Dudes clever as they come. @@Truthorfib

That’s Legend.

Agreed. I would LOVE to see more of these!!!

Same

Naw. Oscar is either 1 or 2

@@calfrye5343I don’t think he meant literally lol

You're forgetting about Oscar

​@@calfrye5343Oscar would never be above Larry c'mon now

@@kaitsu1952 He can definitely be 1 or 2 to play in the state. Learn your history

Bird elevated Rose to his best play of his career.

loss* losses* smh

Lol

@@rsmith317stfu Biden voter

For days and days and days

Well said 👏

I was a baby wen larry legend played an he was my fav 3 point shooter real tlk

Agree Larry Bird is the best basketball player in the NBA history.

yeah, watching his highlights make me wish I was rooting for the Pacers more.

That’s what separates the men from the boys.

Like Chuck and Shaq?😂

@@jarekwajcfeld6610 Chuck says the truth and Shaq just says "I have 4 rings"

Not a fan of gils arena lol

Because this isn't a debate show guys their reminiscing

The only one = greatest ever

I think they should replace the all star game with 3 different sit downs of former players. I used to take the weekend off just for the all star weekend festivities. Now I dont even bother. Its just gonna be 40 ft shots and dunks. But I do watch the highlights.

@@missayawk hahahah Yeah i stopped watching it a long time ago too.

always

Isiah

I saw the other two play but Reggie was from their era so he brought the heat. Reggie was amazing

Bird and / or Jordan will never be with the crew. They know that the less they put themselves out there the more people will want them.

@@rickbackous1041 Also, it's time for the younger generations to pick it up. Not sure which players of the 00s are capable of representing the Game the same way (apart from Shaq of course). It takes a lot of personality to openly discuss your flaws etc., too, no matter how good a player you were. Perhaps Nowitzki, Gasol, Nash. LeBron for sure once he has retired. KG as a sidekick but he's too dominant to listen to for a longer period. Melo and Wade like to talk but they try to push their own narratives too much, Crawford lacks charisma/storytelling. Maybe JJ Redick can. Timmy D doesn't speak at all unfortunately 😀

@@Armine771Tim Duncan for that once-in-a-blue-moon all-timer episode

More heart in Bird's concussion game and Isiah's sprained ankle game than LeBron's entire career.

I concur

@@thsu8 which reminds me of the likes of Dwayne or Davis leaving court on wheelchair....

Obviously you didn't watch the likes of Kobe, Duncan and KG in the past 20 years. Had you said 5, it would make more sense.

Facts

best basketball show, especially first seasons

Me too. Used to cry when he lost lol

HE IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PLAYERS! ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE HIM.

The dude is a basketball God, won everything (literally, inside and out of the court). I grew up watching Kobe and Shaq, but as a adult, looking at the sport itself, gotta admit Larry Bird is the greatest ever, no one else gets even close

It just came out lol

No they are not because jokic doesn't play defense

​@@anthonytaylor7928You don't watch basketball, stop telling on yourself.

@@dimitrijetucovic1307 let me ask u something why is it because of my opinion u May differ . Instead of agreeing to disagree .u reply with an idiotic comment indicating I don't watch basketball? I challenge u smart sir.explain to me what is a trap full court press? A match up zone? A box and one? a motion offense?? A inbound stacked Play?? Now these are just basic fundamental offensive and defensive strategies u learn at a Early age? Can u describe them to me ? Since it a better expert than me please reply and don't reply with a condescending dumb answer with another insult to cover up ur ingorance like I'm kinda expected u to do .

@@anthonytaylor7928 Explain how Jokić doesn't play defense when he's consistently been one of the highest rated defenders in the last 3 seasons first and then i'll answer your questions about different coverages and styles of defense.

@@dimitrijetucovic1307he doesn’t though this is facts

I'M ALL WITH YOU ON THAT!

facts, that and load management...

Isiah

I was arguing with a young hooper who claimed Bird is not as skilled as Luka therefore Luka is a superior player, and I couldn't quite explain why Bird is 5 to 10 times better than Luka as a player but I made it clear he was. I also rank him above LeBron but not Jordan overall. But #1 SF of all time definitely. For me Jordan, Bird, Kobe and even Isaiah have this insane mental toughness and will to win that it bothers me is missing from LBJ when people try to label him GOAT.

Yep. 🤝🤝🤝

Isiah

Yep, awful back injuries and the dude was out there playing at 100% effort. If you love the sport, how can you not respect the man?

Try to search open court bro. Madami dun 😁

Larry would also take a bullet for someone 😌

Fr

WHO DOES THAT? BIRD! HE WON THE FIRST 3 POINT CONTESTS.

Him playing WITH Jokic would be really fun 🤩

And sorry for the mcmajor typos should u ever even see but still.. ty

I wish I wasn’t a child growing up watching Reggie. If I would have seen his game as an adult + his personality, I would have definitely been a Reggie Miller fan. All I rooted for was MJ and the Bulls bc they were everywhere. I Hated Reggie an the Pacers. Being form Boston, all you hear is Larry Bird but I was too young to ever see Him play , but from these highlights man he was a cold dude on the court. GREAT WATCH
