The Pacers played the Lakers for the NBA championship in 2000. Larry Bird was the Pacers coach and he screwed us, the Pacers, by playing his buddy Chris Mullin over Jalen Rose. Mullin was a good player in his day with Golden State, but he was an old, washed up player with the Pacers. All Mullin did was get beat defensively and brick three pointers. Jalen was in his prime and could have helped slow down Kobe. Shame on you Bird!!!
I agree, if jordan called for his fouls, he only last 1st half, wilt was awesome but not know howto pace game or pass as well, didnt make team mates better
If the Celtics had any brains they would have made him coach/gm right after retirement. They would have avoided 16 years of fucking losing. My Celts paid for their power brokering bs. Hand the reigns over to the man. Don't let lesser thans handle the business.
7:47 Probably the greatest combination of basketball players the world has ever known. Actually, without a doubt, the greatest of all time, no question.
You said it EXACTLY -- NO ONE ELSE CAME CLOSE !! -- buddy. That ain't NO LIE !! Amazing, isn't it, when you are just blown away that EVERYONE - at least those who know anything about professional basketball -- JUST don't GET IT !!! Bird IS THE BEST ! Great one !
some of my favorite players to watch growing up:bird,d johnson,magic,d thompson,g gervin,m ray richardson,p maravich,dr.j,parish,mchale,ainge,kareem,walton
I did grow up with these guys im only 16 almost 17 but its awesome 2 know that Bird and Magic are the 2 players that saved the nba and then jordan came and boosted it even more and now its a multi billion dollar corporation cant w8 for the season Celtics 09
nice video. I like Larry Bird. Altho I was a Magic Fan when I was a kid... I realized I should have been a Larry Bird fan. Anti-Social in some sense, and not over-rated. he's more of my personality. He's more action than words. Anyways, I like Bird and Magic, nevertheless.
Really great video. I grew up watching the Celtics and Lakers of the 80s and I still think the 84 Finals was the best ever. As much as I still enjoy watching the NBA its not nearly as much fun to watch.
Great Video. Brings back memories of enjoying watching NBA games. Have not watched one in about 7 years. Just can't stand it any more. What a shame it has become!
I have been a die hard lakers fan since 1978 i was originally a bucks fan when jabbar played with them.followed jabbar to l.a and the rest is history.like a lot of guys have said in their comments,there will never be the likes of bird and magic ever again in the nba.i must admit,i use to love to hate the boston celtics,but i really enjoyed the battles they had with the lakers. two guys in my opinion that are the greatest caucasians to ever play the game.larry bird and pistol pete maverick.rip pm
lol theres not many good caucasians to choose from..but i will say larry bird definetly outplayed majority of the african americans if not all during the 80's..but i gotta go with Mj as the greatest followed by russel as the greatest winner..but i gotta say larry is definetly top 5 all time.
How about you shoot yourself...MJ was and is the most overrated player of all time...he shouldnt have been allowed to play in the NBA...all of those no-calls in his favor...bs
what do u mean by african american? u mean black people? or people from africa that live in america, like dave matthews? i ask because because steve nash is african-canadian. and hes definitely not black
I have been a Bostons fan sence I was 9 years old and now 32. How great the 80s were magic and the (Boston Celtics) This is what basketball was about.
why did he leave bird open like that at @ 2:57

Kobe Bryant couldn't hold Birds jockstrap. Bird could have averaged 40+ points if he wanted. Bird just wanted to win period.

Bird, Magic, Maravich, and (wait for it)
World B. Free - those are the 4 players that
made watching roundball the most fun! MJ might have
been the greatest, but he wasn't as much fun to watch
as those 4.
