Photo of Wilkins and bird is so awesome. You’d think that unathletic white guy was a bum. Shows that two different styles and levels of athletes can both be great
Larry Bird was maybe the one guy who could match Michael in terms of that killer instinct.
It's unfortunate that Bird's career was shortened by injuries. We could have seen some classic playoff battles in the early 90's between Chicago and Boston.
Looks pretty athletic to me. I'll put it like this, if all those BLACK players let a slow, clumsy, no jumping unathletic WHITE BOY beat them and make them look like chumps then THEY must really be the most unathletic players of all time. I mean think about it. BIRD was athletic and the smartest player to ever play the game. How can a player who is unathletic dominate the game like Larry BIRD.
Larry Bird ain't playing no more! Stop trying to make him look like he's the goat because he's not! Never will be. Give props to today's playoff players!
If basketball was a game of chess, Larry had people in checkmate before the game even started. Wasn't fast, but the dude had vision of the game that was so aware it was freaky. Not only took advantage of every window but he created his own advantages with that talk, getting in guys heads, making them forget their game. Truly one of the best ever.
The white dude that was guarding Bird was Bobby Jones… Or trying to. Bobby could play Dee. But he couldn't cover Bird. Who could..? Coop from LA did the best.
Charles Barkley is my most favorite commentator, that is my favorite basketball player in the NBA all time. It don't matter if Larry can score or Shaq can stop you from scoring. Charles can smoke you like a Winston!
Of course we know how awesome Bird was, one of the top 5 greatest of all times. But I think Dominique Wilkins was pretty great too and very underrated. I think Jordan overshadowed him because they were very similar players.

There was sooo much more personality in the game back then.
Larry Legend backed up every trash talkin' thing he said!!!
THE greatest forward to EVER play in the National Basketball Association…Larry Joe Bird
Josh Giddey maybe the next Larry if he keeps at it. Doesn’t look athletic at all yet somehow drops a triple double

@6:04 was the funniest story
having ur game winner wiped, then nailing it again from the same spot. thats cold as ice
If you can do what you say it's not trash talk more of a warning. Larry bird did not trash talk.
The true goat.
I don't even like basketball, but can't get enough of Larry Bird highlights. Legend.
Danny Ainge Baby Face

I'd like to see Bird try that crap in today's NBA. He'd get his white ass beat.

Larry bird is a national treasure
Look out….
Lol that cracks me up
Bird was a perfect imperfection.
salvatore perez please tell me where your comment is
black people tend to think only black people can play b asketball well. I think God sent Bird to mess them up on that.
3:53 that's insane… he noticed his own shot is about to miss and runs up for the rebound to put it back in… holy smokes.

People forget Larry bird was a monster
Larry bird is quite simply the coolest motherfucker who ever lived
Larry Bird looks like every white dude who was 30 in 1993.
3:54 dude…. i mean, dude. How many shots do you have to take to know?
5:05 wtf
3:54 WTF!!!
Fighting number #54 in the world. Its a damn shame!
He must be MENSA smart. He seems to calculate his next 5 moves at a time. He’s the goat!
POOR EFFORT. BOO!
Bird talked more shit than anyone ever but backed up more than he talked
Mj made you look slow Bird made you look stupid
Back when players played to win
The white G.O.A.T OF ALL TIME!
The brother that fell off to bench laughing was white boy come home 🏡🏠🏡🏠
Larry Bird, the coldest white boy of all time.
“ any time we had a chance to win Larry bird changed that “😂
“That’s a heat check. To see how hot I am” 💀💀💀
Flyyyy Birrrd.

I remember this as a kid before Jordan bird was hard to beat
Larry was the real life version of that famous McDonald’s commercial. “Off the glass, into the trainer”
