Converse commercial with Larry bird and Magic johnson

[Matt00851]

funny how this was the one ad that turned them from rivals to being the best friends ever

[Matt00851]

to me larry and magic are the 2 best players the NBA has ever seen in the last 20yrs

[AMilitantAgnostic]

How many ppl would drop their last $1000.00 to sit in the dust and watch them play to 21 points 1 on 1?

[mjwatts1983]

@AMilitantAgnostic Doubt they would stop at 21.

And it wouldn't be one game.

[thenintendogamer]

@Mraloneandsad I'd rather fly like a Bird than be like Mike :D

[uberathlete]

Sick commercial. Even the story behind it is awesome.

[omeganaphtali]

Nobody care about lebron, aside how come your gen is always copying somebodys else's original swag

[lebron6shez]

they should make a kobe and lebron ass like this

[2pacinseattle]

Fuck the Magic or Bird shoes, Air Jordan or bust.

[DarkMage573]

@2pacinseattle Looks like I bust.

[nikar679]

@2pacinseattle

fuck Air Jordan and bring back the converse pro leather Dr. J

[Laydeezmancris]

this brings back ALOT of childhood memories ... magic always had that natural charisma about him!

[moviesilluminatis]

symbolism pentagram satanic magic johnson and larry bird is FREEMASONS -

[AMilitantAgnostic]

@moviesilluminatis LMAO -- OMG you are just all kinds of fucked up!

[formeyousee]

I didn't know you could upload video from a wrist watch.

[libertatus]

EPIC in its day!

[wesmeis]

[sikokiller12]

BEST ACTING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[huytiopful]

cus everyone knows bird would win

[lilbzzzz]

larry bird sounded kind of homo when he passed that rock.LMAO

[OakvaleParkInn]

Dirt road filmed between West County Road 200 North and Cave Quarries in West Baden Indiana.  Basketball court filmed at the house Larry Bird had built for his mother on Abydell Pike

[elithecat]

@OakvaleParkInn Great info. I'll add it to the keywords

[prodiggy13]

Guy in charge of Laker equipment =

[1994g0]

These two guys-Bird and Magic- are unbreakably linked together.Forever.

[2pacisthebest90]

Magic is better

[hmwillow]

bird can beat up ben wallace.

[173girl2]

bird looks like beatles

[MacNaismith]

I choose... BOTH!

[CrazyMan631]

"show me what u GAWT"

[dodentha]

i like how magics voice cracks like christopher walkens when he says "I heard converse made a pair of Bird shoes for LAST years mvp."

Birds just minding his own business shooting around at his crib, when magic johnson rolls up in the limo, the look on larry birds face at 0:08-0:11 is like "Aw man i was having a great time just shooting around by myself, why the hell does this slapdick have to show up!"

[topnotch992]

does anyone know where i can find a pair of either of these shoes??

[robomanification]

@topnotch992 Well you might have better luck on Ebay. I had a pair of both from 1999. Well there were reproductions. 

[topnotch992]

is there anywhere that I can find these shoes?? they are legit.

[HP24Laker]

larry looks like jigsaw from saw..

[leontanko]

the guy driving the tractor got 5000$ just for driving in his own field

[playajake18]

u see this was 1984 and ppl were still kinda racist(obviously not larry) and they didnt want 2 show magic scoring on larry LMAO

[MorCilinho]

@playajake18 or larry blocking magic

[cbaldwinjr]

@playajake18

Actually it was 1986 when they filmed it

[playajake18]

@cbaldwinjr u kno wat i meant lol

[asianliciousonline]

Everybody wants to be like Mike...Basketball will be alot better if everybody wanted to be like Magic/Bird...

[jerzeesphinest1]

@asianliciousonline Mike had a killer desire to win, nothing wrong with that,

[crimdell]

I don't know what would be worse, wearing a pair of green shoes or a pair of yellow shoes. Sure do miss these guys though.

[cbaldwinjr]

@crimdell

Hey man, those Magic Cons were off the hook. You just had to know how to coordinate

[crimdell]

@cbaldwinjr Yeah, definitely better than thos green Bird shoes. LOL.

[joekiddlouischama]

I love how Magic is wearing his entire Lakers' uniform, whereas Bird is in his Converse sweats ...

In other words, the arrangement doesn't really make sense, yet it still works.

[Roswellsounds]

@joekiddlouischama Seeing it, in this time and age where one NBA player hosts his own miserable talk show to comunicate his next destination in the league...

I take it like as a bliss. THEY were better. WE were better. These times are a disgrace...

[Rodimus1]

Who directed this commercial?

[jburd4469]

@79Kassius i did too it was pretty cool

[CaptainMego]

@79Kassius me too

[MyLASER10]

@79Kassius I saw it when it came out to

[hpd929]

Can somebody tell me exactly where to get "the bird shoe" online; just like the one in the commercial. I found a couple sites, but it doesnt seem to be the shoe that i see in the commercial. thanks a ton.

[uTubesEnemy]

im mad the shoes are exactly the same lol

[79kassius]

I just got finished watching the documentary about Bird & Magic on HBO and they did a great segment on the two of them filming this spot. It was pretty cool.

[dazv555]

me too I came here to see this vid, after i watched the documantary.

[timekeeper20ARC]

i dont know about you but i wanna get those shoes

[grounded4ever1987]

Larry used to dislike Magic and Magic said that before this commerical we never shaked hand!! and after this commercial.. Larry and Magic became the best two friends :P

[kevinisWAVYDC]

Funny how this video end in 32 seconds :)

[agirard77]

he meant FINALS mvp you donkeyturd....it was filmed in september '85 it's in their book that came out recently

[ohiostmarine29203]

what year was this ad

[ChazzyJoe]

1985-86.

[Gerkinstock]

Nah, couldn't have been. Magic won his first MVP in 1987, Larry his last the previous year.

[ChazzyJoe]

It was. It was filmed in September of 1985 and was aired throughout the 1985-86 season.

[Gerkinstock]

Really? So, Magic was predicting that he'd be the MVP in 1986?  If so, he was one year off.

[tombraidertuff]

those arnt converse

[jjjoestar]

0:18 Magic's cock is amazing :D

[drawnfrommemory]

what an awesome commercial!! larry and magic are awesome

[realtyboy2010]

everyone got to read the history behind this commerical. bird and magic hated each other until magic agreed to meet at birds house to film this commerical and then they became friends but still rivals of course.

[isaachaze1]

@realtyboy2010 lol i just read about it in their book, when the game was ours. great story. larry bird's mom was doting on magic and feeding him lots of food. they talked after that and found out they had a lot in common

[cjpphotography]

@realtyboy2010

In the book

"When the Game was Ours".  Book was SOOOOOO much fun. Loved it!

[FrsBigeasy]

1 of the best commercials by the 2 best Players of the NBA in the 1980's.

[slicingwater]

They should've been advertising longer shorts, why did they play in those shorts they might as well been wearing underwear.

[Flipper79able]

You know who started the style of wearing baggy shorts? It was Micheal Jordan. He probably started wearing them cause he didn't want to show his skinny little legs.....I bet he never knew it would become a new style.

[HeadlessEye]

Jordan liked to wear his UNC shorts underneath his Bulls uniform. He wore baggy shorts so they wouldn't be visible. 20+ years later, EVERYONE wears their shorts baggy.

[cubsfan4life33]

@HeadlessEye Jordan wore "looser" shorts, but the Fab 5 of Univesity of Michigan made popular the super baggy shorts.

[HeadlessEye]

True, but the idea of wearing your shorts low enough so that your nuts weren't showing originated with Michael. The Fab 5, basically modified the look Jordan popularized.

[cubsfan4life33]

And thank goodness he did.

[hmwillow]

because in those days you would have gotten ridiculed for wearing baggy pants; just like we now ridicule people for wearing short-shorts. get a brain idiot.

[slicingwater]

come on thats ridiculous, look how small and short they are, I mean someone should have taken a stand and said no, I will not wear these shorts so small they're way above my knees. It ridiculous.

[isaachaze1]

@slicingwater someone did take a stand. his name is michael jordan

[ttheonlyt]

your retarded

[slicingwater]

So the shorts don't bother you, at all, they don't make you uncomfortable.

[sport0a2z]

very nice

i love converse

[OGCowboyck]

idk bird better keep his distance from magic cuz if magic gets cut and bleeds on bird he's dead

[blackman34]

i love converse weapons...i have four pairs of them lol......

[jtothapizzy]

Awesome

Don't get any better

[brianpcurran]

was actually shot at bird's mother's house. mrs. bird made the two of them sit down and talk.  they have been great friends ever since.

[weldingmachine1959]

is there a retro release of these shoes?

[cragmac1000]

Yes they are called Converse Weapon 86 Hi tops

and they are frikkin' sick!

[weldingmachine1959]

[jambaathy]

"Show me what u GOT!" lol

[wickedskillz101]

@jambaathy lmao that 'GOT' is >9000

[low803]

converse weapons look em up u'll find em

[We4get1918]

Thank you SImmons. Yeah I'm listening to old ones cause there was no friday report.

[discoAL]

the crazy thing that trips me out about that time is.... that style of sneaker was ORIGINALY known as Dr.J's..which was pretty much played out in the street, nobody really liked them. they just didnt look good no-matter what you wore..but today it really is a good looking shoe..

[rrush2214]

WHERE CAN I GET THE BIRD'S SHOE???

[tricomi28]

I remember this throwback commercial when it first came out.... I'm getting fuckin old.

[agirard77]

i wear these sneakers when i'm with the ladies

[ScarletKnights]

Ironically, Larry and Magic became friends during the filming of this commercial.

[dv122]

sexually?

[playajake18]

@ScarletKnights u got word 4 word drom wikipedia

[WiltatKansas]

@ScarletKnights I love Larry but we must admit that the Magic shoes are the great ones.

[Buttscum]

@WiltatKansas i used to own a pair of magic shoes. now, i wished i owned a pair of bird shoes. they are much cooler.

[rogertayloRRR]

I like "choose your weapon" id get the bird shoe

[302MarkVII]

I wish I could get a pair of these today.

[Zeeboe]

You can on Amazon. :-)

[Zeeboe]

Gosh, I would have given anything as a child to have a pair of those Magic Johnson shoes. :-(

[marcel52789]

My Dad Had a pair :)

[Zeeboe]

Nice. I am hoping to get me some in the future on Amazon.

[JoeyPencils]

I have a pair too...oh wait you mean sneakers...never mind

[marcel52789]

Even Though My Dad and Magic are the Same Age My Dad Looks Up To Him.

[prof21]

[GzuzKryzt]

Simmons ensues.

[indianwhite]

BIRD vs. MAGIC, Legend vs. Legend

Missing in the Picture is MICHAEL JORDAN.

I sorely MISS them, and their COMMERCIALS.
