How an Unathletic White Guy Dominated the NBA 

Why?

Great video man I don't even watch basketball and I watched the whole thing great work.

Its criminal this dude aint got more subs,great vids since the start

Subbed. Fantastic video, please what is the song around 12:00?? I need to know

No bro…

@Kiddman32 Stuck his finger in the air and turned his back to the shot. He never even removed his warm up jacket. The man was the shit!

Jordan laughed about that when he was watching "he never even bothered to take off his starter jacket".

"i'm looking to see who is coming in second".

Bird and Pistol Pete were phenoms

Lmao

Those would be racists that claim to be SJW/woke/whatever they call themselves now. People that claim you can't be racist against White people.

It's because he's white isn't he?

Aha yes, that poor privilege. He had that "Dad killed himself after years of drinking problems" privilege too. Truly privileged.

​​@@AskTorin people are very jealous out there. You could have your whole life recorded and they'd still call you a privileged, a fake or whatever else.

@@AskTorin🤡

Not to mention he is 6'9 which is tall even for NBA standards (6'6 is the current average)

I ran the 40 yard dash in 11 seconds

@@BentleyOwens-tl6yz same. Never hit my 20ft long jump though. And I still tweak my hamstring after that 3rd degree tear 12 years later. Feels like a damn tennis ball sized knuckle popping in the back of your leg

Not everyone is fat American

I can run a mile in 3 minutes

lol what?

@@gedezarx luka is deff 2.0.

you have small brain. Larry had big brain lol

Except Bird was in better shape than everyone else on the court. He would consistently run guys up and down the court until they were gassed and he was just getting started. Luka is great but dude was huffing with 4 min to go all finals.

@@calmlittlebuddy3721 well Bird better than Luke for multiple reasons. Also much better on defense. But the OP comparison is good offensively. You don't have to be super athletic to succeed on offense if you have great shooting skills and fundamentals and the confidence to do it.

Yet they are allowed to make a movie called...White Man can't jump. The World Record in the Triple Jump is held by a WHITE MAN FROM BRITIAN. The only man to jump 60 feet. And what about world record holders....Valery Brumell, Dwight Stones and Patrick Solenburg....all white. And since 1987 only 2 woman have held the World Record in the High Jump....both White. Yet this is not mentioned in the Press.

Brumell....Stones...and Solenburg....all white.

@@danielbrown3461 Solenburg doesn't sound like a white name to me

@@shannon6365 He was a sweedish jumper.

@@shannon6365 Also try Stephen holm.

And it's boring to watch

​@@petergunn3614. It's become moneyball . Very boring.

What about Paul Mokeski?

@@jonhohensee3258 There are always exceptions. I was just trying to make a general point.

@@randyhuke3773 Do you even know who he is?

Bird should have been the MVP in 1987. It was his best season. That year, Ainge, Parish, McHale, and Walton dealt with injuries all season and through the playoffs. Bird single-handedly pulled the Celtics to the NBA Finals again to face the more-talented Lakers. That year it just seemed the NBA felt it was Magic's time to be the MVP. Don't get me wrong: Magic was great. However, Magic was surrounded by a lot of healthy talent in 1987. Bird truly was the most valuable player in '87.

@@bpsactclass2218 - 100%

@@bpsactclass2218 Sometimes it happens that way. Bird had what may have been his best season individually..but his team won eight fewer games than in 86 (not Bird's fault, but nonetheless). But Magic definitely had his best season, and his team won 65 games. Jordan's coming in 2nd bothers me a lot more. He may have averaged 37, but his team still had a losing record.

8 years in a row top 2 player

@@natedg78 Yup. Legend.

Incorrect. Larry never came to play, he ALWAYS came to WIN.

@@linusromey561 I thought of responding with the same. I remember when I was a hyper competitive teenager. Nothing out of bounds, just wanted to win, hated to lose. I was told it's not about winning, that this was not cool. I wish I could go back and say, "whatever" and keep on. I let that suppress who I am. Bummer.

This dude was just smarter and had more balls than anyone else. Every other famous basketball player is famous for their athleticism.

@@FirstName-zt2my i think dennis roddman was similar, didnt shoot a lot but man was the mvp for assists

@@optimumplatinum2640 Erm.. Dennis averaged 1.2 APG. He was a rebounding and defensive machine, though.

Yeah but it’s marginal. He’s definitely in the top percentile

@@FirstName-zt2myevery basketball player including bird is famous for their athleticism that’s the whole point of being an athlete

McHale doesn't get the appreciation he deserves.. there were games he straight up saved because Bird was ice cold. Man was a monster in the paint.

Michale a Top 5 PF, behind Duncan, Malone, n close Barkley

Mchale😂

@@scoop333g6 If you never saw him play, be quiet until you watch him.

@@Cannon4545 He was laughing cuz op spelled it wrong.

He’s 6’9 with a 9’1 standing reach. He needed only about 11 inch jump to be able to dunk

Because Jordan was on bad teams playing Celtics teams that were among the best of all time.

That Boston team was tough to beat!

That Boston team could no longer beat the Pistons, so it’s not MJs fault the Celtics couldn’t get past the Bad Boys.

@Tolstoy111 Jordan only won one playoff game before Scottie pipen joined him. And he had some really good teammates. I thought he was the greatest player ever. He only won one playoff game. Lebron, and I’m no lebron fan, took a bunch of scrubs to the nba finals. The year before bird played for the Celtics they went 29-53 and didn’t make the playoffs. The following year, birds rookie, they went 61-21 with an identical roster other than bird. They made it to the eastern conference finals losing to the sixers in 5 games. You telling me that the greatest player in nba history only ever won one playoff game, not series, in his entire career without pipen? That was the greatest single season turnaround in nba history until lebron outdid it in his rookie year. Bird orchestrated a 32 game turnaround as a rookie. Jordan is criminally overrated and benefited from expansion and rule changes. His championship wining years also coincided with a Lull in overall talent in the league. I’d take bird or magic any day over Michael Jordan. And it’s not even close.

@@JamesBuddell-fn6bz Those early Jordan teams barely made the playoffs. They were not good. His first year with the Wizards he had them on pace for the best record in the East till he got injured. Expansion affected all teams equally. The 90s NBA was tough and loaded with HOF-ers. Keep in mind that Jordan was a few years younger than Byrd was coming into the league. Only 21 - he took a while to bloom. Pippen was a bench warmer his rookie year. He was not impactful on the Bulls winning anything that year. And btw the Celtics also changed head coaches Byrd’s rookie year. It’s like Phil Jackson taking over for Del Harris on the Lakers. A new energy.

It means Athletic mean shit if doesn't have IQ clutch winner mentally, sacrifice for the team and so on ....

And Jokic isn't half as athletic or Larry or Luka.

I think we over value the athletic abilities of basketball players, at the end of the day the goal of the game is to put the ball in the basket

Larry legend is way good than Joker and Luka.

😂😂😂😂😂 y'all are funny shooting three's isn't dominating take that away and what's left 😂😂😂

Most obscure reference ever

@@A30_TKDah yes dale earnhardt, never heard of him it’s not like he was the face of what was one of the most popular sports in the country, while at its peak.

KAJ was a great athlete in the '70s, most remember his career in the '80s when he slowed down.

I saved basketball.

Agree.

@@dariuscanuto Thank you.

Watch hoopology, he funny af you finna be interested in a month❤

He didn’t get a single triple double 💀

Best compliment I could receive! Thanks for the kind words.

Caitlin give me Bird vibes, I hope she picks up the trash talking.

Coach of the Year for the pacers in '98, Executive of the Year in 2012. I don't remember who but one of the players at the time remembers him crushing everyone in three points shooting as an exec.
