HE WAS A DAWG!! Larry Bird ULTIMATE Mixtape! *REACTION* 

Loved the reaction-- it was fun watching you see a little of what Bird was like. Also, thanks for the laughs-- I'm still cracking up over "Imagine getting dunked on by a dude named Larry." That's just how the players felt-- they couldn't believe it...until his playing (and his trash talk, which, as they've all said, he backed up) made believers of them. I hope you do more Bird reactions, so we can watch the same happen to you, as he keeps surprising you. He still surprises me, no matter how many times I've seen him do what he did, and talk his talk to the greatest NBA players ever, and then do exactly what he told them he was going to do, because they just couldn't stop him, even after he laid out in detail what the play was going to be. There's one video you shouldn't miss-- the title is "Larry Bird-- is he the greatest passer ever? Re-edited with new footage." It's really fun, and will show you some things I think will surprise you. Thanks for the great reaction and the laughs.

Welcome to the Larry Bird rabbit hole #birdgang

LARRY LEGEND IS A UNICORN AND THE TRUE GOAT!!! 🐐 ☘️

The one true Goat, Larry Joe!

You just reacted to the greatest all around player in NBA history , hands down !

If being goat means making your team better, there is no other goat but Bird.

Everyone starts reacting to Bird casually shi**ing on him and after a few vids he gonna end up in everyone's personal top5

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 wasn't only playing basketball, but also, volleyball, dodgeball, football, soccer, & strategic chess, all at the same time, & what made him so great 😊He certainly was one of the most unique & gifted players, I ever watched! You need to check out his video, on the greatest passer of all time-edited, or his 50 amazing assists, both show how incredible his court vision was, & how much teamwork was so important to him! *LUV your reaction & your adorable doggy* ❤❤❤

Larry's flashiness comes from his youth when, growing up in a predominately white town, he would leave school and go straight to the court with older black dudes. He was always thankful to them for letting him play and he continued that throughout his career. He would tell the players and coaches on other teams to not put a white defender on him because it was disrespectful to his game. John Salley called Bird "The blackest white dude I ever met." Theres a lot more Bird videos out there if you are interested. If you go down the Bird hole, he will quickly become your favorite player.

For me Larry will always be the GOAT hands down, his stats might not be as high as other players since his career was shorter due to his crazy injuries he played on. But in his time he put in so much more skill and passion against the of the most talent rich times in NBA history. Not to mention that while his teammates werent bad players he wasnt working with an insane dream team like the Lakers and was still either beating them or taking things to the wire against teams with multiple legend players.

Larry would run thru these fuck boys today

Well, I saw Jordan play. And Bird. Jordan was far better than Lebron is and for me Bird is the better Small Forward too. The best all around player ever.

Not only do I take MJ over Lebron, but I take Bird over Lebron 10 times out of 10. Bird had way more hustle, was a much better shooter (two, threes and free throws), was a better rebounder, a better passer, averaged more steals and more blocks, was a better leader, better fighter and was way, way tougher. Lebron has longevity and athleticism over Bird, neither of which makes him a better basketball player, just a more durable athlete. I take the better basketball player.

You should react to how the same Caucasian , that after he dunked on a player , even at the end of his career , made him ponder life ! Video is called “ how Larry bird almost made a player commit suicide “

Imagine a dude that won 3 championships, 3 consecutive MVPs, founded the 50/40/90 club, was in the top three MVPs for nine years, has the second highest winning percentage in basketball, won an Olympic Gold Medal, was named NBA Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year. It would be an honor to get dunked on by a guy named Larry, and that's MR. BIRD TO YOU!

Bird MADE those defenders look bad! One of them is Dominique Wilkins, one of greatest & most athletic players ever. James Worthy famously said he’d rather defend Jordan than Bird because “Jordan makes you look slow but Bird makes you look stupid”

Your comment about the defense now compared to back then made me laugh. Even the pros will tell you there is no defense now. That last person to fall was Hall of Fame Dominic Wilkins. How do you guard someone who can shoot from anywhere and passes the way he did... You don't! That's why they fell

Mj amd Larry are both better than LeBron. Sorry son,that is just facts. Larry would make LeBron cry. Lebron cant guard Larry. Larry is superior to LeBron.

He played street ball. As a kid, black players who worked at a hotel, let him play with them (I like to think they must be so proud).

ppl don't realize back then? they played hard D. you didn't get 4 steps to the basket, you don't get a free run yo the paint. you got hammered when you came to the paint. there was no 3 second defense rule. the big men stayed there and begged you to come at them. many faces got broke.

"Bro, you got dunked on by a caucasian!!". Cracks me up! Dude, for a few years, that caucasian was the greatest basketball player in the world. Magic Johnson said in a televised interview before Boston squared off with the Rockets in the Finals (after they eliminated the Lakers) "There's no question he's the best."

New subscriber here brother. Today's NBA is SOFT, if you just touch someone it's a foul or a tech if you foul them hard. Back in the '80's it was pysical as hell and even fights wouldn't get you ejected. Maybe try to check out the Larry Bird Trash Talk video, NBA legends talking about how great Bird was, Larry Bird's passing highlights video, or Making The Case, The Goat Larry Bird. 🏀🙏✌️

Larry bird with average a triple double right now in 2023 in the NBA you just don’t know how good he was

Great reaction. Now you gotta go react to Making The Case For Larry Bird to see even more. Then his trash talking video, and 5 Times Larry Bird Was Injured But Refused To Quit.

Hell yes MJ was and is better than Lebron.

Michael Jordan is without question superior to LeBron James, in almost every aspect, except for the length of career!!

How do you barely see your people. They were majority on every team except the Celtics. Celtics in the 86 were one of the greatest teams ever.

The Celtics and The Lakers were great rivals....

Larry Bird was "breaking ankles" because he hit 40% 3 pointers and 50% 2 pointers. Larry Bird was undefendable! When he faked a move, the players were screwed--hahaha.

you see the moves and think defense were easy. no they weren't, defense was really a thing not like today.

Today's game has ZERO defense! In the 80s & 90s,you could hand-check,you could "crowd",& there were no "Touch fouls"!!!

that CAUCASIAN embarrassed a lot of brothers.lol

Nash, Doncic, Jokic. Larry Bird was the progenitor.

I really enjoy watching young fans of basketball get their first taste of Larry 😂. One thing I watched throughout his career that no one really mentions is that Larry Bird had a target on his back and he ran through a gauntlet every time he stepped on the court. That's mostly why his career was over after 12 or 13 years

Best passer and shooter, anyway.

People have said Bird did not play defense - so how did he lead the league in defensive win shares 4 times? If you add up the number of times Lebron and Jordan have led the league in that category you get ZERO. People have said Bird couldn't jump , so how did Bird average more defensive rebounds per game than: Shaquille O'Neal Kareem Abdul Jabbar Hakeem Olajuwon and Moses Malone - just to name a few players who are considered great rebounders.

Early in your video when you comment about if these were the defenses Jordan had (played against) keep in mind some of the best defenses and defensive players were around. Jordan, Olojuwan, Gary Payton, Dennis Rodman, Ben Wallace the bad boy Pistons, Michael Cooper. Bird was good enough to make even the best defenders look stupid. He would tell opposing teams what he was going to do and go out and do it, challenging them to try and stop him. As far as trash talking, he was the GOAT, he would trash talk players, coaches, benches. Jordan said Bird was the best and that he learned everything about mind games from Bird.

Larry Bird said to one coach “man your disrespecting me? You put a white guy on me” You can hear about some of that in a video Legends on Larry Bird’s Trash Talking

Lebron couldnt play in the 80s he would be destroyed. They would target him just like the bad boy pistons did to jordan in the late 80s.

Bird played against some of the greatest defenders in the history of the NBA. Certainly better than today's soft league. They actually played defense in the 80's and 90's. The reason these guys fall so much is because of the respect they had for Bird's shot. if you did go for the fake he would generally pass the ball to an open team mate for 2. If you didn't go for the fake Bird shoots the ball and your job is over. he could pass or shoot equally as well. you, me, and anyone else would go for the fake the too. Bird would dominate in today's soft league.

Can you imagine coming back in to play that hard minutes after breaking your right cheekbone? That’s devotion, man. Heh

Steve Nash didn't have the elbow pass, that was Jason "White Chocolate" Williams!!

A lot of reactors talk about the defense against Bird. Then as you go along you can understand why the greatest defenders hated guarding him & would’ve rather guarded Jordan. 😂

Liked your reaction. My top 3 Jordan, Bird and Kobe. You should check out Larry Bird greatest passer of all time video re-edit with new footage. Thanks.

larry legend gets views

hey man, i subscribe from brazil u welcome, larry domain

LeBron couldn't hold a candle to mj or bird. Bird and mj are tied at 1 for me. I watched them both growing up. Bird wasn't just the shit talker he was THE shit talker. Jordan himself said he learned everything about talking trash and the mental game from Bird. Jordan had to wait until bird was basically broken and retired before he took the crown. Bird swept him both times they faced eachother in the playoffs. I will never pick between those two but LeBron ain't even top 5. The greats didn't have to shop teams for rings. Also, they dont flop or take games off to rest. GOATS bring their teams that drafted them to the championship. Period. Mj, bird, magic, Hakeem, Robinson & duncan, Kareem, kobe and so many others. Love LeBron but he barely makes top ten.

I'm taking Larry Joe Bird ... Mr fade away buckets all day everyday over EVERYONE. Greatest all around TEAM player ever. MJ and Lebum ... go sit down

You're just scratching the surface of all the videos of his greatness. He's the founding member of the 50 - 40 - 90 club. He could shoot and pass with either hand. His basketball IQ is second to no one. I'll give due respect to all of the greats, past and present. But Larry Legend is unequivocally the GOAT.

I've seen only three players have made that behind the basket shot in the NBA. MJ, Kobe and Larry.

Larry Bird preferred to play on the inner-city courts rather than with his school teams. A young Larry would take a bus to play on those courts. It got to the point where the city players started waiting for Larry to get there and wanting him there seeing he could ball. Your people were welcome to the games at that time, tickets were available for anyone to come and enjoy; the doors were wide open. They just did not come.

Pistol Pete did the elbow pass long ago & so did Jason Williams

Crazy how players back then were just getting the shit kicked out of them and now people get pulled out of a game over a jammed pinky

I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings. With that said, Magic, Jordan and Bird never quit. You know who does quit? Lebron 🤷🏻‍♂️

The GOAT baby!!

Thanks for sharing your Video with us, I enjoyed it. Cheers!

I like watching people react to bird and they almost always say he played against bad defense. Lol

Bird's shot/& overall ability was so FEARED,he had guys thinking TOO MUCH;That's why they fell on his head fakes! In today's ZERO-defense game,Prime Bird would avg 30-35 PPG,11 RPG& 8 APG.Don't forget,Bird never took a 3 point shot til his rookie season in NBA! He didn't practice 3 pointers in high school or college! If he grew up with the 3 pointer,he'd avg 27.3 instead of 24.3! He & Curry have same career scoring avg,& the defense back then was FAR TOUGHER than today's NBA! TODAY'S NBA HAS ZERO DEFENSE!!!

Rookie of Year (Took 29 win team to 61 wins in 1 year) 3x champ in 5 appearances 3x consecutive MVP 3x 3pt champ consecutively 50 40 90 founder/seasons Dagger 3 Pioneer Beat every hofr of era in playoffs MJ (swept bulls twice, 3-0) Rodman Isiah Moses Hakeem Dominique Magic Kareem Worthy Coach of yeat Exec of year 2nd highest win% in NBA Larry Legend

Bird or Stevie Ray Vaughn = instant sub, lol.

Ben S. without a shot is actually an excellent comp

Awwww your dog is adorable

Prime Bird playing today,may win 5 MVP's in a row!

I hope you took a nap after this taping. 😆 By the end you were just about gone.

*YES* he got dunked on by a Caucasian.! *YES* his name was Larry.!!! ASK ( as your generation would put it) *ANY* old head, no cap.... MJ is the G.O.A.T. and either Larry & Magic are 2 or 3.! LOVED KOBE, top 5.... LeBron I watched in high school, *YES* I saw him live in 2002.!!! He's top 6.! You all either need to watch ALOT MORE about Larry OR just remain ignorant.! He could do *EVERYTHING* Youngblood.!!!

I saw Bird play his whole career. I can tell you without a doubt, Bird is the smartest most clutch player to ever play the game! All you need to know is that Larry Legend won three league MVPs in a row, and finished second four other times. In a league with Michael Jordan in it! One of the purist shooters you will ever see. He could shoot from anywhere with ease. Bird could do it all. Bird and Jordan are the two greatest basketball players i have ever seen. Jordan was unstoppable. But Bird was unbelievable!

Didn't a Caucasian just win the dunk contest? Good luck man

You should react to “5 times Larry played hurt”. Which was his whole career!

What the '80s NBA called defense the 2020s NBA calls a foul Larry Bird had his face broken three different times during his career. The one that made it in this video was the last time. The other two times were from elbows.

Bird was nearly 6'10,& a SCRAPPER! These days he'd be a stretch 4 who'd have atleast one season 35-12-8,55%,90%,43%!

Of course, people fell from his pump fake he never missed !!

Loved your reaction 🥰

There’s two men that my mine was ever forget. Bill Russell and Larry bird. These are the two best players in history. I don’t care how high you can jump. Do you know how to win. Bill Russell 11 rings. Who did he beat for all those rings. Wilt chamberlain and the lakers. Wilt wouldn’t make a pimple on Bill’s butt.

Not bad, for a guy, NBA fans/players say that is "too slow, can't jump, and can't get his shot off." IMO, Larry Legend's Ultimate Tape disproves that claim. Instead,Larry Legend is NBAs Best All-Around NBA Player to EVER play the game. Thank you, Sir.

Very white in Boston

I watched Larry Bird when he was playing the game of NBA must I good in the 80s I was going to School when I didn't watch him he maid or other didn't maid NBA fun to watch.

My top three players of all time are #1 Michael Jordan #2 Larry Bird #3 Magic Johnson!

LeBron can't carry Mj or Larry Legend shoes😂

BTW - don’t forget to bring up the screen recording.

Lebron belongs in the wnba. Coin him Whiny B.

great reaction minus the yawns. if bird highlights don't keep you awake, you need more sleep and/or coffee.

LBJ would physically dominate Bird. Bird murders him on the court. Good thing it ain't a wrassling match.

Watch a full game from 80s defense Pistons, Knicks, bulls , pacers and so many others. It was smash mouth basketball and players played hurt . Defense is a joke nowadays.

dude, lefraud not even in the conversation. if back in the 80's they were guarded by plumbers and firemen then todays players are guarded by twitter trolls and tik tok dancers. todays D is weak compared to the golden age 80's.

Lebron isn't even close to Bird or Jordan, todays NBA is soft, no defense, no hard fouls, no rebounding. Todays NBA is garbage, can't even make it through watching a full game anymore.

thats funny cuz in the 80s, there were more black nba players than today. today there are a LOT of euros, AND white american players AND mixed players. .Is Zach Levine black? sucks to bring race into a sports argument but hey YOU brought it up.. TWICE..

Boston Celtics were very "white" back then.

Bird is far better then LeBron even all the greats like Jordan, Magic, Isiah, Kobe put Bird in their top 5 and not one of them had LeBron. LeBron is great because of his physicality but he doesn’t have a good shot, mental toughness, leadership, passing ability anywhere close to Bird. You have to watch Making the case Larry Bird.

Jason Williams (White Chocolate) had the elbow pass, not Nash

the defense was much better than today's soft league. they fall on the fakes because it's Larry Bird. you would fall too.

Lebum is a diva, a sell out, a flopper, cries and begs for a foul on every shot missed, runs to franchises to pay the most money to buy super teams, great athlete, yes, great player, yes, but, he is not an elite, or a goat candidate, what you see from old school players was sheer will, hustle with no regards, want to win at all cost, your boy lacks in that category, more worried about looking good and place blame when he fails

If you haven't seen the college Goat look at Pete Maravich. 44.2 ppg no 3 point line and only played 3 years!!!

I was with you up until you said "you got dunked on by a Caucasian" Man, I'm sorry but I'm way too old to hear racist crap from a kid who isn't even aware how disgusting he sounds when he says the stuff he says. Yeah, I'm out. Good luck to you, I hope you learn better one day.

The game has turned soft.

True GOAT

Lebron would be coming off the bench in those days. 7th or 8th man.

Easily top-five goat

Larry would have dunked on you, humiliated you and laughed at you.

Ever heard of Larry Nance ?
