Larry Bird Is BETTER Than Michael Jordan | LeBron Fan Reacts to Making The Case: Larry Bird 

Thank y’all for 1k🤝 I honestly think the conversation is closer than most people make it seem. Thoughts?

You need to do some research on Kevin McHale. He was the man of a thousand post moves. Easily one of the top 5 PF's to ever play. He wasnt Kareem, and Magic did have more help then Bird but McHale was amazing.

I love the respect you show for Larry Legend. 👏

With the near quadruple double in 3 quarters, Bird took himself out of the rest of the game. He thought the Celtics were winning by too much, he didn't want to embarrass any team, that way. LEGENDARY

I'm a Bird fan, watched him kick my beloved Pistons butt. Today's game is softer than a moon pod compared to what the players went through back in the day when a "non physical" game had more elbows flying than a hockey game. Lechina James has no claim whatsoever to the title of GOAT in my opinion.

Think on this: Larry hurt his back in 1985. The pain, according to his doctor should have been enough to end his career, as it wasn't a single injury, but a constant in the rest of his life. He was effectively playing through an injury for the rest of his career. And in the years following the injury to his back, he won multiple MVPs, a Championship, a Finals MVP, put up multiple 50-40-90 seasons, won multiple 3 point contests, and won Olympic Gold. The back half of his career is enough to be in the Hall of Fame. Then add his healthy seasons, and consider that he still had more to give. That's why this man has a case for GOAT.

He came out of the game after three quarters and when his coach noticed he was one away from a quadruple double he asked Larry if he wanted to go back in. Larry said nah, I did enough damage, it isn't fun anymore.

Kevin McHale was a great finisher, Parish was a solid center, DJ was a solid point guard. All of them made the HOF. He had help, it was just a notch below the lakers. As a fan, he was fun to watch.

“I think he's God disguised as Michael Jordan,” “He is the most awesome player in the NBA." Larry Bird speaking about Michael Jordan.

I love this video because, the little narrative trick of showing you how great he is, talking about and showing how clutch Larry was, and then proving it to you by showing you a shot he misses and saying "I bet you thought it was going in, everyone else did" its so great. It really drives home the point about how wild Larry was out there. Everyone KNEW that shot was going in, and it didnt.

I’m a big Larry Bird fan but allow me to retort about what you said when they were comparing Celtics and Lakers. I agree with most of what was said but to say Bird had no help against the Lakers? You better check again. The whole starting lineup for Boston were all Hall Of Famers. Ask a lot of the greats of the era about Kevin McHale. One of the greatest post players of all time. Dennis Johnson was the best Defensive player of his era. 8 straight year all defensive player. Robert Parish was a terrific player in an era that had to go up against Moses Malone, Kareem, Ewing. Watch Making The Case The 1986 Greatest Team of All time. Larry Bird made his team better. You need to do some research. Check it out. Thx

Bird didn't play with scrubs, like the narrator suggests. Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, and Dennis Johnson, his teammates, were Hall of Famers. He didn't play by himself. As great as Bird is, he is underrated in the GOAT conversation.

16:22 1 steal shy of a quad double through 3 quarters. They don't mention that the coach offered Bird the opportunity to go get that 10th steal, and bird said "no thanks, I've done enough damage".. and he sat out the 4th quarter. Every single one of those prima donnas in today's NBA would have gone out to get that 10th steal. Bird didn't care about stats. He only cared about winning. Btw, Kevin McHale was one of the best post players you'll ever see

You really need to watch this guy's video of Making The Case: Michael Jordan vs LeBron James. That gives the most definitive argument over who the GOAT truly is.

That missed shot at the end of the game is spot on. Bird was the only player in the 80's that you expected to make his shots in tough situations because he did it so often. You expected every other player to mis their tough shots because the majority of time they did miss.

If Larry is better than Michael and Michael is, by far, way superior to LeBron James, you admit Larry Bird is better than Lebrick James? Sweet. Glad you came around

You gotta do the 1986 Celtics Tribute - The Beautiful Game! That'll show you how good his teammates were.

Congrats on 1.22K subs! Onward and forward!!!

Bird is better than LeBron but not Jordan.

Congratulations on a 1000 subscribers. Well deserved, young man!

Mchale could have been something very special, but injuries plagued him as well. He had a two-three year span where he dominated in the paint. They called it Mchales torture chamber.

The Celtics were also loaded, just a step behind the Lakers. No one else was in that discussion: though Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Houston and a couple of others we certainly dangerous and had their moments. McHale, Bird and Parish were, and still are, often acknowledged as the greatest front court of their time, if not the greatest ever. As for the missed shot in the 87 finals, the point was that everyone was shocked he missed, the other team, his team, the coaches, the fans, even bird himself. It was actually comparative rare for him to not make a game winning shot, steal, or play of some kind. Just ask the 87 Pistons!

I'd take Larry Legend over Jordan. #Clutch

Would love to see you react to Tom Chambers ultimate mixtape he's a forgotten about badass from the past. Enjoying your reactions new subscriber here

The fact that Larry had 5 HOF players including himself on the team when playing MJ and Michael didn’t even have another all star on his team when he played Bird is a huge reason he never beat him! If Bird was around during the first 3 peat time it would’ve been a more fair assessment of who’s team/ player was better!

Bird is taking all those dudes to school in that room.

Bro, is anything you do, not ever going to be about overshadowing MIchael Jordon. You begging Bird fans to come together with Bron fans to push MJ out the conversation. Thats funny. In this video you're raving about such a talented era Bird played in. But in the MJ Mixtape, you said the players of that era were just average compared to todays NBA players. Look how you're bigging up Birds 13 year record. MJ played 23 years too. Compare Birds 13 years to Jordans 13 years. No comparison. Plus he is humble enough to tell you the best player he's played against. I think Black Jesus was the name.

Congratulations on the 1k subscribers!!!!

Bird is my 🐐

Jordan never made it into the 50-40-90 club only nine players have and Larry did it twice nearly averaging over 5 seasons 1983-1988 50-40-90. The 2nd player to reach at least 20,000 points, 5,000 assists, and 9,000 rebounds within 10 seasons. (Wilt Chamberlain is the other), Larry Bird is the only player in NBA history to rank among the top 50 in scoring, rebounds and assists. One of only 8 Hall of Famers to win Rookie of the year and to be named to the All-NBA first team the same year.

What everyone's failing to realize is for Larry to Play at the level he was playing at his body was lucky to hold out for 13 years.. think about it,, he wasn't real fast yet always faster than you. How? because he actually was faster than you. He couldn't jump real high but he would always be able to jump higher than you,,, for him to achieve this extreme feet ,,in short takes a man who plays with more than just his mind and body. This man played the game with his Heart. His whole Heart.. I can give you a longer version when I have more time.. but I will tell you the amount of work N desire, practice N punishment the amount of thought ,constant concentration, self discipline N love for the game would where any man out in 13 years. Especially a 6'9" tall white Boy 😂 just a little humor. Couldn't help myself.. but you get my point.

Larry was something. Imagine if he hadn’t gotten hurt?! Well, I don’t like the Jesus reference either but if Jesus came and saved our souls which he did then they’re saying Larry and Magic saved basketball and they really did. Their rivalry was incredible. Good reaction!😃

Great reaction! Small pauses and good comments. Keep the good work.

I wouldn't sleep on McHale because he was an ultra-reliable post player who consistently got the job done. The dude broke the Celtics scoring record with 56 points before Larry took it back with his famous 60-point game, and Charles Barkley has named McHale as the toughest opponent he ever played. It's worth watching some McHale highlights to realize he had brilliant footwork and post moves like a corkscrew, consistently scoring, and he's absolutely 100% comparable to Hakeem in that regard. Yeah, the Lakers admittedly had a better team because prime Magic and Kareem is already a cheat code, on top of having Worthy is almost unfair, but I would argue that the 1986 Celtics is absolutely one of the greatest teams that ever played in the NBA.

If you want pure athleticism there is definitely guys better than bird on the rankings but if you go off pure basketball skills and fundamentals and talent than bird gets the #1 overall pic

When it comes to stats...In the past 50 years, here are the highest Total Career Avg Stat Points (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) #1) Jordan = 44.7 #2) LeBron = 44.4 #3) Bird = 43.1 #4) Kareem = 42.9 #5) Durant = 40.8 #6) Magic = 40.2

Thanks for having yourself in the smaller screen and the video as the larger. It's so much better than when the host is larger and we have to strain to see the video. Keep up the great work. I don't agreee with ou on some points, but that's to be expected. We are from different generations, things change and I believe we had better ( harder fought ) games in the 60's and 70's than new "SoftNBA" styles. Sorry if that's offensive to anyone.

Larry Bird was my favorite player growing up. He was my GOAT. As the years passed, I had to give in to Magic being greater than Larry because he won five championships versus Larry's three. I think he was better player than Magic but his back injury and Len Bias death limited him from getting two more rings. I think he was better player than Lebron but not as durable. His shooting, passing, rebounding, and leadership was better than Lebron. As for MJ, I cannot say Larry was better than him even though MJ never beaten him. I saw all those Celtics-Bulls games in the eighties and I hated to admit it but MJ obviously was just a tier above Larry.

I’m from Kansas and before Bird…I was all in with Wilt Chamberlain…who played at Kansas in Lawrence…KU..the Jayhawks…and he still…after all this time …holds 70 some NBA records..like consecutive 30 point games….consecutive 40 point games….100 points in the game they played in Hershey, PA..in 1962 against the Knicks…and after the game…hitched a ride back to New York with a couple of them…pretending to be asleep in the back seat..he averaged 50.2 PPG that year…not slam dunks…but 12 to 15 foot jump shots…one year led the league in assists…and usually grabbed 25 to 30 rebounds every night…he was a scoring machine..not Jordan…

Oh you should have way more subs u are a better reactor than most 😊❤

Founded 50-40-90 Club AND achieved it twice! I think Bird’s underrated because he wasn’t flashy and played team ball (4 of Larry’s teammates are in the HOF).

I'm not saying Mchale ad Parish were better than Worthy and Kareem, but Crowley does a "Making the Case" for Greatest NBA Teams of All Time. You should watch the one on the 86 Celtics. That year Kevin and Robert were better. If only for one year...they were better.

Bird is the only 24/10/6 guy for a lifetime

C's fan and a huge Bird fan. But, did you say he didnt have any help? The 86 team is prob best team ever. McHale was GREAT. Best back to the basket post player ever, and a great defender, Parrish is hugely underrated, He wasnt Kareem of course, but he played him solidly. DJ is hugely underrated by history. A top 5-10 guard type his whole career, playing both spots. Ainge was a really solid player on both ends, and Maxwell, Walton, Wedman, bench was solid. Lsakers had Magic and KAJ 2 top 5 ever with Worthy as a 3rd stud and really good talent in the other spots. Have to admit the Lakers were just a little better with 2 top 5 guys, but Larry had lots of help. The video briefly mentions how superior the East was then, LA had a much easier road as well. Those were great days. Good reaction.

Former Laker Michael Cooper also said Bird was harder to guard than Jordan because he was more dangerous when he didn’t have the ball. He was always setting up the next play. I’m convinced he would be the undisputed goat if he’d paid someone to put in that damn driveway.

You've got to do all the making the case videos they're all good and they're all well put together, even the one on LeBrick.

Kevin McHale career stats -17.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists / Scottie Pippin career stats - 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. Jordan had much less help than Bird had.

In took 7 years for MJ to win a title with Bird in the league.. He entered in 84, bird blew out his back the summer before 85 and went on to win 2 straight MVPs, a title and multiple 50-40-90 years. The last three years of Bird's career were post dual achielles heel surgery, and he only played in 6 games in 89. His last year was 91, MJ's 1st title. Bird was the best player in the NBA from the 1st day he walked on the court in 80, all the way thru the 80s. He was FEARED. And tbh, I'd take Kobe over LeBron most of the time. Shooting and HEART.

Pacers fan here. Note: We have only been to the finals once in the time we’ve been in the NBA. The Pacers are one of the most storied franchises of the ABA. The Pacers not living to that heritage is like a lot of other basketball related things in our state: disappointing.

"IF I HAD TO CHOOSE A PLAYER TO TAKE A SHOT TO SAVE A GAME, I WOULD CHOOSE MICHAEL JORDAN...... IF I HAD TO CHOOSE A PLAYER TO TAKE A SHOT TO SAVE MY LIFE, ILL TAKE LARRY BIRD" -PAT RILEY DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THAT MAN (bird's mortal enemy and by far the most psycho of the Lakers) TO SAY THAT??? THAT SHOULD TELL YOU EVRRYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW...

MJ is winless FOREVER vs Larry in the playoffs

Larry was the all-time winner until two years later after his retirement magic barely passed him by less than one percent...two years bro wow..

Bird is a better player than LABOOB. Career stats.... 24,.7 pts, 10.6 reb, and 6.8 assists.... for a career...

Congrats on the 1k sugar!

LARRY IS NOT BETTER THAN MJ... BIRD was the First Person to call MJ BLACK JESUS... and that's while the Celtics was still winning CHAMPIONSHIPS

Larry Bird I'd my favorite player of all time BUT!..... I'll NEVER gonna have the audacity to say Larry is Better than MJ. Im 50yo and I've been watching NBA since the Magic vs Bird era and all that time till today there's NOBODY close to Jordan.

I admire your channel, and I'm a huge Bird fan, but to be fair: Bird and MJ had two different styles of playing. Bird couldn't do the 1:1 moves and put the level of fear into the hearts of opponents as much as MJ did. Yes, they DID fear Bird, but they knew he was not as focused on his own game as much as Michael was. And it was right for Michael to have that kind of impact. Just as much as it was right for Bird to lay back and support his teammates in his game: the passing, especially. Michael was not as much a passer as a pure shooter and drive-for-the-hoop player, and it fit his style. The one part of the game that Bird has over just about EVERYONE else is that he saw the entire floor at any time and knew where his teammates should be, and he knew more about what the opponent was likely to do even if he wasn't covering the man. Bird was closer to Elgin Baylor than MJ, but Michael had Elgin's moves and hang time.

He’s not being literal. Isaiah is saying between all these legends he was the best of the bunch.

Larry even said Jordan was better than "all of us". So be as silly as you like.

I appreciate your comments and opinions. Keep them coming.

Remember, Bird played his entire NBA career with an injury to his index on his shooting hand. The finger is shaped much like a boomerang, permanently bent toward his thumb at a 45-degree angle. Two operations have failed to straighten it; he can bend it only halfway to his palm. You can get a good look at it when he hoists it up in the 3 point contest victory. That’s an injury he did not have in college and never had the same feel for the ball after it.

It's generational bro - we only know - and love - what we know, and we only know what we see and hear - and that is what is seen and said while we be coming up young fella.

Larry had extremly good help, as individuals have mention before you can look them up. But I do agree with the notion that, Magic had better help.

Larry Bird is better than Lebron James

Mc Hale was GOOD, really good too. Larry legend, the GOAT for me and for many....so special guy!!! Good video.

Awesome vid!

Pretty good argument at times. Honestly, a 6'10" PF whose clutch, can shoot the 3 ball, defend and make passes with a hard to block shot.. he'd be a problem in today's league for sure. He's everything LeBron is besides athletic, but better at it.

The obsession with Lebron is embarrassing.

The problem with the argument is bird called mj the goat but bird is underrated

aj20tower. You said it all about Larry's leadership abilities. McHale himself said it was Bird's leadership that made him a better player than he ever thought he could be, doing things he never did before, attributing his H.O.F. entry to Larry; as did the Chief and find Dennis Johnson's lengthy statement on Larry as a leader. It's incredible. Magic didn't develop his teammates like Larry's leadership did because Bird's example of every way the game was played was as perfect as it could possibly have been. The last part of D.J.'s comments: "Last year, he took us unlikely ones and made us believe as a team. He brought our potential to the fore then, and he's doing it now with us this year. He wins; he doesn't lose. When you have a guy that far ahead of everyone; and yet what amazes me most about him is how patient he is working with our team because he can do it all by himself, but wants our involvement just as much." Larry has virtually no self as in self centeredness. Never has a team leader ever become remotely that close. And when you understand what Jerry West said that Bird played basketball more perfectfully than anyone ever did but also having the spiritual gift of clairvoyance and precognition you can see why he always knew where to be on the court for the best opportunity to do something incredible, made his so-called "trash talking" work in reality calling plays in advance constantly and his clutch shooting perfection missing only one shot by a half inch or less against the Lakers, a shot everyone thought was perfect, which was attributable to the Lakers leaving him unguarded, with 2 seconds on the clock altering the shot ever so slightly because there was no one there to attempt blocking the shot, which always previously occurred. So you can see aj20tower Bird would have had 4 championships like Magic had it been perfect like all others. The Western Division was considerably weaker than the Eastern Division was and Magic skills were not like Bird's, which he admitted, particularly in the ability to raise teammates to higher levels of play. His starting team was already all star Hall of Famers. They were better than Bird's starting team because they did not have to become world class all stars as they already were.

Is Larry better than Jordan`? Its a very layered question. As an individual player? No, I dont think so and the stats, while not THAT different, also support Mike. But from a *value* perspective, I dont think there has ever been a more valuable player than Larry. He came into the league as the ONLY addition to the Celtics and swung their record by over 30 wins. I dont remember the exact stat but they had a like 29-53 in 79 and in the after Larry joined they shot up to like 61-21. I believe its still the biggest turn around ever. Larry had ALOT of qualities that cant really be quantified and he had them in spades. His IQ, his toughness, his drive etc but most of all his ability to raise everyone around him. McHale and Parish are both on record saying they reached personal levels of playing they could not even have imagined due to Larry. If you removed Larry from the 80s Celtics I firmly believe they wouldve suffered more than the 90s Bulls wouldve if you removed MJ. In a straight up 1v1 comparison, no Larry isnt better than MJ. But as an all around player and team value, I think he is. This is why I dont rank my top three. Its Jordan, Magic and Larry, all sharing the no1 spot. Ive tried it for years but whatever argument I or anyone make, there is always a counter argument thats actually valid. If someone wanna put MJ at no1, thats fine... I agree. If someone wanna put Larry or Magic in no1 thats cool too. The only real truth is that we wouldnt have a league at all without Larry and Magic, you wouldnt even know Jordans name, Jordan then took what they created and just elevated it even further. These are the three best ballers of all time. Rank them however you see fit. Edit: Congrats on 1k subs btw :D

Here's my argument on why I take bird over Jordan and Lebron. Both are truly amazing players. Nothing can take that away from them, but when it comes to Bird. He just has more going for him. Bird was a complete player who played with injuries that would put todays players out for the season. His passing and court awareness is out of this world. His shooting goes second to none. His defense may have slacked when it came to most face to face confrontations, but was made up for with steals and rebounds. He was complete. Then add him doing it with the broken cheek bone and a back injury that he had to do stretch therapy prior to every game to line it up long enough to play that evening. So yeah. When it come to being the G.O.A.T, Larry is mine. A Complete Warrior.

I still can't believe that shot didn't go in! They should've had it in 87'!

When he did that quadruple double in the game mentioned on this video I heard that he said they were killing the other team, so it wasn't Necessary.

Larry Bird was a top 10 (Probably higher than #10) player of all time. Yes, great scorer, great passer, excellent rebounder, clutch shooter, excellent free throw shooter. Where he doesn’t even match Jordan’s skills (not even close) is defensively. This is the area where comparisons end. Bird was not a particularly good defender. That is where many of the best offensive players lose the best of all time comparison with MJ.

Larry Bird was my hero as child(along with Bo Jackson and Rickey Henderson) and I got him at 6 or 7 right there with Kobe, some days its Kobe at 6 some its Larry. I also have a strange top 10 where 5 are centers, cause its a big mans game baby!

Bird is better than LeBron

founding member of the 50/40/90...and did it twice in a row ;) Only Steve Nash has more

I feel like making a Bird is the Word joke would be in poorer taste. And yet it, it still feel like it fits.

If you don't believe this take a good look at the crowds in Boston reacting to Bird. Never have I seen such incredible ecstasy and enjoyment and exhiliration, itself a spiritual experience for each person confirming in many they are spiritual beings. Such a joyous experience cannot come from the body, only from the soul where the spirit body presence resides.

He was also All NBA Defensive Second Team 82-84.

Straight forward MJ, Dr J even James we’re greater athletes but if you want the best basketball player it’s Larry all day long. Great shooter, especially clutch managed to grab 10 boards with Kevin & Chief grabbing a combined 20 themselves and a great passer and assist guy not bringing the ball down the court. He dived hustled talked trash like no other and never quit or backed down. He dominated the 80s and the tail end his back was tore up. The man was feared and did it all with no weaknesses. He took the last shot when the whole world knew he was going to take it and usually told the play in advance

Bird himself said "I think he's God disguised as Michael Jordan" and "He is the most awesome player in the NBA"

Jordan and Bird are evenly the Goats Lebum is not even in my top 10

There was no talk of who's the GOAT because of their respect to every eras greats,then came your lebum,the goat of flopping

Worthy had the best quote. MJ would make you look slow, but Larry Bird would make you look stupid.

He meant if they were in the room together playing 1 on 4 that Bird would win, that's high praise

Your content is well done! Love your respect for Bird!

"Basketball Jesus" was used because he and Magic ( MJ took over in 1988 ) "saved" the NBA and I get it. Don't like "Basketball" or "Black" Jesus being used, but I get it. I remember having to wait until after the 11 PM news to watch the FINALS of the NBA! Regular games had little appeal for a short period. One of the highest flyers in the history of the league got so bad off, steps had to be taken to save his life. David Thompson is one man you should check out. His vertical was 44" or 48", depending on his age. He was like the grandfather of Michael Jordan. Dr. J ( Julius Erving for you who don't know , incredible ) is MJ's "father". In the 70's David Thompson and Dr. J were the two coolest dunkers, but even they followed Connie Hawkins, the Hawk. He was smooth, could drive n dunk on you or shoot a smooth 15 foot jumper. My point is all these guys followed someone. The latest is not necessarily greatest as seems to be the case in ANY generation. Keep up the good work. You're gonna make it.

As far as your reaction to the big three comparison of Jabbar Johnson and worthy VS parish McHale and Bird, you need to watch the video on the 1986 Boston Celtics you have no idea how good McKale and perish were not just their physical prowess but their basketball IQperish was one of the fastest centers in the NBA in his prime had an above average mid range and jumpshot and was in excellent rebounder and passer. McHale is widely regarded as having the best post moves of any big in NBA history do your homework.

I love Larry he my top 3 faves ever but u need to watch the mj making the case the way he sums his story up at the end is poetic

Another video that I'd suggest is "Why Larry Bird Is Underrated" There are things in there I never knew before, and I've seen all the videos we've all seen, and it makes an even stronger case for Larry being the GOAT. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZNeRmifDYXM.html

No disrespect to Michael Jordan. He was the ultimate basketball player. However, they did change the rules of the game to favor Michael’s game. For some reason nobody ever brings that up.

Hiya mate nice reaction , check out The 85 86 Celtics greatest team of all time , you will see he had a great team and alot of help , they had 5 hall of famers in there starting 5

1KKKKKKKK

I can see a conversation about the GOAT being Michael Jordan or Larry Bird. For me, the conversation doesn’t include LeBron. Not saying he isn’t great at what he does, but he’s not tough; not a leader. I’ve been watching basketball since the late 60’s. I was a die-hard NY Knicks fan, but as soon as I saw Bird play, I knew he was something special. I don’t think anybody would disagree that every time he stepped on the court you knew something special was happening. He played with a broken back, he played with a broken face and double vision. Seems to me LeBron gets a muscle cramp and he is out for the rest of the game. The toughness just isn’t there anymore, in my opinion. It’s not really exciting anymore. Larry was in a league of his own. As I have said before, Michael Jordan comes as close as I can put him, but Bird is my GOAT and always will be. ☘️🐐

Larry was a bad, bad MAN. He could make his shots from anywhere on the court. His game was very consistent. Set your clock to it boys.... The man was a killer!!!!

Bird did not play with nobodies, hes team and the lakers were fully loaded but ill say for most of the 80s the lakers had the more talented team. Mchale wasnt an athletic wing defender like pippen but he was arguable the best PF compared to tim duncan. Dude was known for being a great scorer in the post that could play solid defense too. Parish was also the same, DJ was a sharp shooting faclitating PG that had many clutch moments with bird and danny was a sharp shooter as well. The team was talented and the addition with bill walton in 86, that team can be argued as the best team in nba history.

Check out some of the tapes on Kevin McHale you might change your opinion. Love you channel.
