@Primus54 Год назад

When Larry’s shots fall dead center in the hoop and the net barely moves as the ball falls through… that is a thing of beauty.

@richardeast3328 Год назад

And the snapping sound the net makes after the ball passes through.

@eddiehaskell1957 Год назад

That's called hitting the bottom of the net. When the ball hits the rim before going through the net, i said oh hell Larry's having a bad shooting night.

@water2bank804 Год назад

I would like to see a stat....of all the shots Larry took (not incl dunks) how many found pure net and no rim I think that percentage would be mind blowing

I’m 45, back when I was 13, my uncle took me to a Celtic’s game. My family is NY. I don’t need to say any more! Yanks, Giants, rangers and St John’s. At 13, I watched that man put on a jumper clinic! Right and left handed! He scored 46 and didn’t play the 4th quarter!

@Sunny-jz3dy 5 месяцев назад

Damn! Lol. I'm jealous! Would love to have been there!

@johnflanagan9153 Год назад

I saw this play LIVE, in 1987. Mychal Thomson FOULED Bird as well, hitting his shooting hand/arm...and Bird STILL hit the shot! Look at the way Worthy covered Bird, holding him aggressively, practically terrified Larry will hit the shot...and he did. Lebron James, nor anyone in today's game has done anything remotely like this. And Larry Bird TOLD them the play. Let that sink in, folks.

@ulaper6465 Год назад

Bird is the genius in the history of basketball. None will ever beat his effortless technique.

@cacornhusker2940 Год назад

LeBrainless sucks and wouldn't last a season playing in the 80's thru the Bad Boys Era in the 90's. MJ, The Goat got mauled back then and is still the Greatest...it was like 5 man football during the playoffs back then. Remember McHale The Biggest "Softie" in the League Clotheslining Rambis??? The was Hilarious and frightening at the same time. The Current NBA Pansies in Pigtails and Tights wouldn't last a season back then let alone become HOF'ers and play more than ten years talking all those beatings.

@VZ935 Год назад

To fully appreciate how crazy this story is you need to understand how great a player James Worthy was. First pick of the first round of the NBA draft as a college junior by the reigning Champs, NBA Hall of Fame, and NBA Finals MVP, Worthy was a beast. He tells this story the best, "Fuuu q!"

@macsaints10 Год назад

Cooper, was probably the best cover man in basketball at they era as well.

@christophermclean3921 Год назад

Coming from great players is real compliment and respect. That Laker team was great.

@smoothALOE Год назад

You’re right. Big Game James was often considered the third best star on that team, but when they other two are arguably the best to play their respective positions, you realize why he gets forgotten at times. To me, there was no better player out on the fastbreak in the history of basketball. He had speed and intelligence and timing. He was awesome.

@NeverTalkToCops1 Год назад

Worthy was the opposite of that laughing hyena, harlem globetrotter styled "magic" johnson.

@davidthompson62 Год назад

As a Celts fan, I hated James Worthy because he was that good. He was really The Laker who put their team over the top of the Celtic.Worthy was dripping with talent who you hated to see his hands on the ball. He’s never given enough credit for those Laker championships after 1986 with Magic and Kareem on the team. James Worthy was awesome.

@BD-uw1kq Год назад

Larry was only loud enough usually for the person he was talking to to hear. He didn't yell or pound his chest because he didn't have to. His trash talk was psychological warfare and he viewed it as part of the game. Winning was everything.

@ilsagutrune2372 Год назад

As someone once said... "It aint trash talking if you can back it up".

@richdouglas2311 Год назад

What people don't talk enough about is how quick Bird was. No, he couldn't out-sprint you, but he was much quicker than most players in the few steps that mattered. Also, Larry was big, at least 6'9" and probably an inch taller than that. Big.

@jack-of-all-trades1234 Год назад

Agility and timing is as important as speed.

@ulaper6465 Год назад

He didn't need to out-sprint anyone. His technique was ingenious without much effort

@philr182 Год назад

This is just one reason I think Larry would be even more dominate in today's game. If he was that good with people draped all over him, grabbing and hacking, imagine what he could do in todays game. Plus if they did hold and hack, and got called, he shot over 80% from the line, so he'd bury you there as well.

That was just part of it back then, I wish people today could be able to experience the feeling NBA back then during it's real primetime! Thank you for bringing these feelings back to me after all these years. The mid to late 80's was basketball at its best, Mike was great but, back then play was real. Miss that basketball like crazy, money ended up getting in the way too much, I think. Money isn't what life is about, can't tell anyone that now days though. Things are going downhill fast.

For us who lived in the Boston area, we were lucky enough to see Bird play until his body just gave out. To say it simply, he had IT and his great play made us want to watch every game to see what new thing he might do. He really was a special, talented player. There are few Boston sports greats that get put anywhere near The Great Bobby Orr or Ted Williams; both can be argued as the greatest who ever played their respective sports. Larry Bird is one of them. That’s not small praise in this town folks!

@scottcarson4570 Год назад
