Larry Bird Dr. J Commercial

[ReeveRuddock]

for once let the white man win! lol

[feraligatr4]

y all r these ppl still bitchin bout sum fight tht happened 30 years ago? i miss this old nba wen there was rivalries like these that made it fun to watch. it was better when players hated each other

[akemp1993]

The dude commentating sounds like he smokes 30 packs of cigarettes a day! lol

[philagon]

hilarious juxtaposition of the commericial then the fight. Supposedly they are so friendly today that they wont even answer questions about this fight.

[fpsnerdy]

did DR.J start this?

[philiptv1]

hey there's rick carlisle!

[thatsit07]

bird just flopped

[Canonall]

Who is the commentator?

[ChrisinEC]

Wow, what one sided biased commentary. Moses a coward? lmao Moses would beat the crap out of ANY Celtic EVER!

[Tazzarinaa]

nobody wears converse now, it's all about jordans

[mightyPants]

@Tazzarinaa

That only applies in Basketball, I am sure converse sell more shoes overall than Air Jordan.

[Tupacexpert1]

Was this before Larry Bird assaulted Dr J's Fists with his face

[Richurro]

@MrBirdforthree You still mad about how your dad secretly but fucked you for 10 years then ripped your pussy off then fed it to your mom?

[LordPeja]

Is this commentator maybe Mickey Goldmill - Mighty Mick? From Rocky Balboa film series...Haha! Hey yo, Mick! xDD

[Jefgg]

@LordPeja I think the commentator was the late Johnny Most.

[PojekGwapzpo123]

lol What is wrong with the commentator

[kersey112]

They way I see it, Dr. J was swinging at Bird regardless of whether Barkley and Moses held Bird. Dr. J didn't need or ask Moses or Barkley to hold Bird. Doc reacted because if you saw, Bird grabbed Doc by the throat and swung first. Doc swinging at Bird was purely a reaction to being swung on first. Doc is hardly a coward...

[MrJordansquad]

Thts fucked up

[stewiedog01]

Johnny Most had the worst voice of any commentary. Talk about smoking too many cigarettes...

[gettsjacob]

they wanna fight fatce to fatce

[Samuelx123x]

The saddest part is that those 3 bitches combined still have less rings than Bird himselft, shame on those 3 bastards...

[FavreianVengeance]

Johnny Most is calling out Moses Malone and Julius Erving lol.

[TheJulianthegreat]

COWARDS!!!

[mbtaningco]

i don't know if i'm gonna like dr.j or not because the bad thing was he punched larry bird 3 times in the 1984 celtics vs 76ers but the good thing is he apoligized and dr.j is also a great player.

[SeanYves09]

was it before or after the commercials they did together?

[gandybien]

Is it me or if I was Malone I'd confront that anouncer! Ilhis voice is annoying

[shockduke1]

wooooooowwwwwww!!!!!!!!!! sick

[midnightrider33]

I always wanted to see those two savages, barkley and malone get shot after that.

[leechmaster21]

Johnny forgot to mention Barkley grabbing Bird around the neck from behind as well....

[aj80729]

larry and dr.j arent friends

[gaemp]

not a nice show....

[bq97]

lebron traveled

[CaptPrice274]

I dont think it was fair Dr.j was mad old that time

[bolder2009]

The announcer went in on Malone. He was going off.

[Samuelx123x]

And the most pathetic part is not that it's a 3 vs 1 fight, it's the fact that those 3 bitches combined still have less RINGS that Bird himself, shame on those 3 bastards...

[Chooify]

WTF happened to all those converse shoes now their all just the shitty black ones with the white start saying all star that all the fat lazy kids wear.

[jlfieldad]

Commentators are so good! They can be better than Jim Lampley and larry merchant of HBO!

[lionsTime]

this old dude has the funniest voice ever. malone grabbed bird from behind lol lol

[TheBullyboi]

obama 

[McFry2376]

Everybody gang up on Bird, Cowards.

[BoxingComedian]

Larry Bird is one tough mother fucker!

He ate those shots, got up and wanted more!!

[KOPRALicious]

"Angry Bird"

[arsenalgooner24]

so much for friends

[xblackstallionx]

@trevorh321 Did you watch the same video? Bird threw the first punches after Dr J tried to push him away. Was Dr. J supposed to control his emotions and wait until everyone stopped holding him to throw a punch? What fantasy world is that from?

[youngthuq]

2:10 tag team

[youngthuq]

lol the commentater want them to fight !!!!!! XD

[EKAA25]

If this happened nowadays everyone would get suspended. Stern Ball is pathetic.

[Richurro]

The narrarator is a a coward! Im glad hes dead now.

[tng150]

@Richurro that is awful, wishing that someone is dead

[myboyz24]

@Richurro Couldn't have said it any better. Except this--FUCK JOHNNY MOST!!!!!

[tharock220]

@myboyz24 Johnny Most was the most biased play by play guy ever,but come one. Can you imagine the NBA without "Havlicek steals it!!!".

[myboyz24]

@tharock220 True dat, but he smoked like 1,000 cigarettes before he said "Bird steals the pass from Isiah!"

[Flipper79able]

@tharock220 Of course Johnny Most was Bias.......he announced for Boston......what do expect !!! Every city has their own announcer that are always bias. What are you thinking?

[Jefgg]

@Richurro Johnny Most passed away in 1993 at the age of 69 in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

[guidi2005]

@Richurro harsh man

[Richurro]

@guidi2005 The world is harsh. Grow up.

[guidi2005]

@Richurro haha read your posts on this vid again and then tell me to grow up.

[Mastahboys]

@Richurro are you stupid? thats johnny most, best commentator ever

[Richurro]

@Mastahboys Do i give a fuck?

[ktsketch]

The only cheap move made was Malone. Dr J react to Bird swinging first. Not Black and White just human nature to violence.

So go ahead with that niggers shit!

[xkon71]

Sixer cowards??? I remember the coward ass Celtics trying to fight the Rockets and getting their face's pummeled to the floor. Ainge's coward ass was hiding behind a ref like the pussie that he is while trying to take cheap shots. The minority population is on the rise...your not running anything! And who was that player that dragged Kurt Rambis from behind onto the floor on a fast break?.... Kevin Mchale!!! Coward ASS Celtics!!!

[tng150]

@xkon71 I remeber Danny Ainge pummeling a much bigger Hakeem Olijuwan

[xkon71]

@tng150

Danny Ainge and Sedale Threat FIGHT. NBA FIGHT (RARE):

DANNY AINGE AND DARRELL WALKER FIGHT! NBA FIGHT (RARE):

NBA FIGHT (RARE) Danny Ainge and Sidney Moncrief go at it:

Danny Ainge throws the ball at Mario Elie's Head:

Ainge pummeled Hakeem Olajuwon?....after watching these videos, only in Ainge's dreams!

[tng150]

@xkon71 he defienetly popped Darrel walker a few times, and he deifnietly never backed down looks like he threw some good punches in all those fights

[MerkinMuffly]

@xkon71 I remember Walton throwing Sampson's pussy ass to the floor, hahaha. Then they kicked there ass in 6, lmao

[xkon71]

@MerkinMuffly I remember Jordan blocking Parish, McHale and Walton (same game) shots and Walton flailing around like a little bitch. LMAO

[JodeciMaori]

Thanks for posting this. I've seen the photo, but could never find the fight.

[libertatus]

@johnchibaby Cut/ paste the commercial to the end of the fight sequence and it would be hysterically funny!

[TheTexasTaco]

black ppl still hate white ppl

[ramone120]

This announcer sounds like he's inches from death!lol

[23yanzkhi]

eventhou its been about 30 years ago, moses malone is still and always be a f___ing coward. you as___le!!!!

[TheEman67]

great announcing

[RAV52]

Johnny most should have announced boxing or MMA as well... He was that EPIC.

[defnyung]

Bird's flop started the whole thing. But damn, Malone's choke was a low blow.

[rojasn10]

Reason #13423324 Dick Bavetta should no longer be a ref.....he was mentioned in this video! Btw im a 19 year old so im shocked that that was glen ordway holy crap!

[cantolin4]

the secound part was the best

[tharock220]

Johnny Most might be the most biased play by play man in history, but he's right in this video. Moses was being a thug. Still, the 80's were the golden era. It's too bad I missed them.

[mannychase1023]

The commentater has a terrible but epic voice! Molone Is A Coward!

[killjoypoprocks]

@mannychase1023 yea

[sswgaming]

i love how charles barkley just stands there ...hes so funny

[rosenhayn]

Dude said Malone is a Coward "I would like to see him fight Bird Face to Face" Moses would have killed larry. lol

[RickyDeHerrera]

who wanted to watch that game after both the star players got kicked out haha

[reg12269]

@RickyDeHerrera like having kobe and dwight howard kicked out together and saying "play on"... cant believe how bird's chin kept attacking the doctor's hand like that! figures dick bevetta was the ref! likely trying to keep the bookies happy on that day! the dude should be in a retirement home, y is he still reffing?

[jonbap426]

Yeah, Doc got in some straight shots while Bird was being held. Bird got in the Doc's face, Julius didn't like it and gripped Larry around the waist. To the which Larry pushed Doc with two hands, Doc pushed back and Larry swung first. Whether it was to fight Doc's hand off him or not, who knows. Then Doc responded to the swing with three jabs.

[allthatjeff]

Mchale is a pussy he culd've knocked julius erving and does anybody know what happened after this like when they met each other again?

[killjoypoprocks]

my fav people.

[callebs11]

wich came first commercial or fight

[BDog03]

the commentator must have been chewing snuff for about 30 years with that voice

[TRKoneAD2]

Great video...never saw the whole thing...remembered listenig to this game on the radio

thumbs up

[3sizzleman]

what a terrible voice

[leechmaster21]

@3sizzleman What are you 13?

[ripcurlgurl855]

i rofled when i heard the commentators voice

[gmlaster]

Damn, I miss THIS version of the NBA sooooo bad. I even miss Cosell. The announcers were one of the best parts of the game. They'd get you all fired up and ready for a fight. Now, everything's so...well, sanitary. It's boring.

[afroromka]

oh God...his voice...

[Th3MainMan]

@afroromka i felt like ripping my ears out :P

[afroromka]

@Th3MainMan Yeah that's 4 sure LOL

[Thule000]

this announcer is great

[ackmino]

@Thule000 he was a legendary announcer out of boston that did the celtics games for 30 years on radio. he was the best, check out johhny most classic clips. he was great when the pistons came to town.

[joefri0818]

Was the fight before or after the commercials they di together?

[d820m]

Johnny Most would say that about anyone, even if a Celtic had started a fight

[TheBullyboi]

fuk celtics n fuk bird you white people cant compete with us thats why ur still suckin on birds dick

[ldraheim]

@TheBullyboi you must be out on some sort of work release program

[tizas06]

@TheBullyboi SHUT UR BLACK ASS...NIGGAHH GO BACK TO AFRICA

[mdietzns]

@tizas06 dude, you`re like 11 or something. you better rethink your dumb comment here, because you might one day become a grownup asshole if you continue this shit.

[greatgriffin68]

@TheBullyboi Black people can have their athleticism, us white people would rather be smart. Yes I said it, we are smarter than black people

[ThePaulocastor]

@greatgriffin68 Racist alert

[callebs11]

@greatgriffin68 shut up racist

[dolphinbuc]

@greatgriffin68 Check your history.One incident doesn't equate to a race being stupid.

[TheTexasTaco]

@TheBullyboi this is ironic bcuz black ppl hate white ppl for slavery yet at the same time thats how black ppl got more athletic u fuckin ignorant retard, check the stats btw u fuckin fag on both of them, and have fun in jail when u get there, i hope u like being analed senceless, and one more thing, white ppl run this world so get used to it

[Cardigans5]

Lol...by the time they were ejected in the 4th Bird already had 42 pts and Dr J was in single digits...no wonder Dr J was dirty.

[saythanx]

this is how the nba should be more emotional... now there like robots

[fjccommish]

Have another cigarette Johnny. How was Malone not tossed?

[12gaugeG]

i wish artest was playing in the 80's hed own that era

[racabcn]

Ha, ha, ha!! Go Sixers! Fuck Celtics!

[MacNaismith]

Bring THIS nba back!

[Kevinownsyouall]

Barkley was and is so big little man, cant comment on the fight, its some coward stuff, but gotta love the oldschool announcers, nowadays all the announcers are scared to say anything about the refs or the players act on court.

[noah1130clawson]

Did Bird Have 42 points half way through the third quarter? Jesus! Sounds like he was on his way to a 60 point game. If anybody has this game on tape, they should upload it.

[mikallink]

dr.j. is a wuss for sucker punching bird like 3-4 times.he was ticked cuz bird was his daddy.bird had 42 points and dr.j. had 6.LOL!

[96Sonics]

First of all: 1. Bird started all that shit. 2. Malone ended it. 3. How does that make Malone a coward? I dont know but the announcer made it look like Malone was a classless coward when he really wasnt.

[rexxcarz]

@96Sonics I watched that game/fight when it happened in to 80s, and Johnny Most (the Cletics' announcer) got it right. This was between Bird and Irving. Malone jumped in from behind, headlocked Bird and allowed Irving numerous unprotected sucker punches to Bird's head. Yes, that makes Malone a bully AND a coward. He played like that his whole career and only had size going for him, not championship talent. Let the coaches and refs get between the players.

[96Sonics]

@rexxcarz ok, you convinced me about the fight. But Malone did have championship talent. He was the vocal point of the 83 Sixers, but otherwise i guess youre right

[rexxcarz]

@96Sonics Dude, thank you for your gracious response. And my opinion of Malone was just that: my opinion. Ok, I was harsh about Malone's talents. Had he had more top notch players around him, he certainly would have been a factor in winning a championship! When Bird first came into the league, some veteran black players disliked white boy Bird coming in there and handing them their backsides as he regularly did. I wonder if Malone would have clotheslined Magic or Abdul-Jabar like that.

[d820m]

@rexxcarz Moses was the main reason the Houston Rockets made it to the finals in '81

[d820m]

@96Sonics i just made a comment that Johnny Most would call anyone that if he wasn't a member of the Celtics....case in point, before Dennis Johnson became a Celtic, he and Rick Robey got into a fight and Most called him "gutless"...when DJ was traded for Robey, Most called Robey an "assassin" and DJ became a sweetheart

[Tooms1121]

awesome, this is hard to find footage.

[MrMurphy81]

Fannypack you probably fight like a bitch too

[akillyu]

moses malone is a stupid coward jerk.. Bird is the greatest among them. julius erving really sucks becoz of that

[fannypack311]

hahahahah malone would fuck up the whole celtics team

[mikallink]

@fannypack311 stupid knick fan

[kklol7]

1:13

Hey it's Charles Barkley

[serge014]

Damn, these guys were men back in the day.

[Hoopfanify]

LOL you can tell the guy is a celtics announcer

[trevorh321]

That was cheap on Dr. J's part. He was basically hitting a man who couldn't even defend himself because Malone and Barkley had Bird held. I don't blame Bird for being pissed off.

[upabittoolate]

@trevorh321 "hitting"? It looks like Doc only got in 1 shot after Larry was grabbed. Given the fact that Barkley is clearly standing up at 0:52, I reckon there's more to it than Doc just getting in pussy licks.

[upabittoolate]

@trevorh321 Correction: 3 shots while Barkley & Malone had him yoked.

[Cooley96]

@trevorh321 Really Dr.J would just beat his ass anyway

[bigmartin3000]

@Cooley96 whatever man, Bird is way bigger than Dr J. - Bird was dominating them completely and Boston closed them out anyway to become world champions so it didn't matter. Malone's such a girl and Barkley always been pretty dumb but I really thought Dr J had more class than this.

[Cooley96]

@bigmartin3000 I like them both actually those are my 2 favorite players. But lets be honest Bird only has a 2in size advantage over J and If you didn't notice Malone and Barkley weren't holding him back Dr.J wuz knockin him backwards. and if I recall properly who were the '83 NBA Champs like I said their both good though.

[tng150]

@Cooley96 Erving elbowed him in the face, so then Larry grabbed him by the neck and hit him real hard in the head, there's pictures of it all over bars in massachusets but I don't know if there's footage available like most old fights

[510markman510]

@trevorh321 thats what teamates do. thats what you expect when you fight someone with friends...

[SD1128]

MALONE IS A COWARD

[cafelcaro]

dr. j with the sucker punch

[Coledro]

Sound like a wrestling match

[racabcn]

Go Sixers!!

[Bossrah]

Wow alot of ignorant people commenting on this vid

[SasquatchSilly]

I still have the sports illustarted of this on the frontpage

[sabonisrules]

What up with Barkley being a big old pussy...?

[Hoopfanify]

@sabonisrules LOL i was thinking the same thing what happened to the big bad barkley

[d820m]

@sabonisrules Barkley was a rookie when that went down.....

[fhumnagads]

man the nba is deifferent now, here the announcer is talking about how Malone is a coward, nowadays they suspend Kevin Garnett for little elbow to Richardson

[redhead5150]

Bird was alot younger than Dr. J, thats when Bird could get the best of Erving. When Erving was younger, no one could contain him!!! The fight was just some tension in the game, they both are friends and respect each other.

[tagbrooks]

They fought because Bird made dr J his bitch this entire game. 42 points on 17/23 shooting while julius had a weak 6 points. Bird would have put 50 on him had the Sixers not started this chiken$*** fight

[cooleymanfan]

@tagbrooks shut the fuck up u fucking bastard. julius is ten times than larry fucking bird peace of shit

[tagbrooks]

@cooleymanfan @cooleymanfan...you seem like a classy dude. You won't find ANY ONE that will agree with that idiotic statement, and if they did, it would prove that, like you, they have ZERO basketball knowledge. You certainly don't appear to be the brightest bulb in the house yourself. Bird OWNED Dr. J in this game, probably more than any superstar as ever owned another superstar. The numbers don't lie. 42

[cooleymanfan]

@tagbrooks if you add his aba stats he has a lot more points rebounds, everything except for maybe 3 point shooting and assists.

[LionsTigersBears123]

@cooleymanfan thats why erving only won one championship you fagbasket

[Hoopfanify]

@LionsTigersBears123 Dr.j won 3 titles

[AppearingC3P0]

@Hoopfanify No he didn't

[Hoopfanify]

@AppearingC3P0 I take it your not counting the ABA titles

[MrHindiakoemo]

why they fight?

[howard205]

this guy is the worst announcer i have ever heard. He is worst than Chick hearn

[metaljaybird]

@howard205 Johnny Most has perhaps the two most famous calls in NBA history, and you call him the worst announcer? You need to go back to school.

[MrMurphy81]

He aint racist you dumbass Whats wrong with having a whiteboy team??? Nothing>>>> Fucking Mosses Malone ghetto has didn't let Bird fight one on one thats why birds a bad ass...!!! Dr Jays cool too but malones a bitch..!!

[hammer44head]

Wow you guys are arguing over something that happened almost 30 years ago and did'nt involve you.Ha ha ha
