Larry Bird caps a 47 point night with two clutch threes

Nothing like Sheepman announcing a Bird gamewinner

I used to think Lebron had the ingredients to surpass bird....but Bird is still in the top 3 or 4 players all time.

@usnate1 true

Between hearing Glenn Ordway without Pete Shepperd, Steve Buckley, Sean McAdam, Bill Burt, or Smerlas/DeOssie/Nelson - and hearing this same finish as called by Gil Santos, my head is spinning.

i'll be right over...

I heard Larry was actually asleep for this game, and woke up during the post game interview. Dammit he's good.

[1973mazdarx4coupe]

with today`s rules being so ardently wimpy, Bird and Jordan would average 69 a game !

[86lenny]

Why would anyone be surprised by this ? What else would you expect from Larry ?

[BigTimePride]

As great a clutch player as anyone to ever play this game. He was wicked good in crucial moments.

Thanks for posting this, "1987." A lifelong Celtics fan, I saw this incredible game in person. I taped it at home, but it was HTS channel. That was funny to watch, because Bullets announcers Phil Chenier and Mel something (both good announcers) were all psyched to celebrate, then Bird depresses the living daylights out of them by hitting his 2nd buzzer beater. In a morose voice, Mel drones, "Larry Bird, maybe the best ever." But this way I get to hear great ol' Johnny Most go berserk once more!

Ive sen this video a million times with the tv audio. Great to see this clip again with Johnny Most and Glenn Ordway doing the radio play by play.

[willsmackyoudown]

and this way back in the day when the 3 point line was wider than todays.

[masterdeviance1985]

Too good...too good....

[matfdp123]

Larry Bird is the best SF Ever

[trevorh321]

Yeah, I agree. I cant even think of a close second to Bird. He was the best.

[elgriego331]

@matfdp123 I honostly believe he is the best all around player ever!

[dietsalt1]

@elgriego331

I agree...nobody better ever!

[AceroySangre]
