  I hate that they cut the rest of Kobe's part off. Right after that he looks at the crowd and he goes wait who here has seen Bird play.... looks into the crowd and goes "OH that's not enough hands we've got homework to do" Kobe respected those who came before him.... PS. Welcome to the Bird Gang 💚

  Larry's trash talking was more sarcastic, witty & came across overconfident, to those who didn't know his play, but he wasn't disrespectful, which garnered him the respect he got, plus, backing it up, didn't hurt either 😊

  Hey young fella, I am so glad you reacted to this video, thank you. What I am so impressed by with you compared to other reaction videos is, you don't talk over the video and miss important things. So many, in fact almost all of the reaction videos I've watched, they will react to something and laugh, but but then they miss what was said three seconds after and then they just keep going on. They don't get the full meaning of of the stories. I was very impressed to hear you pause it and apologize but then proceed to tell us why you're pausing it. Keep up the good work, you are in for such a treat.

  I love seeing younger generations reacting to Larry bird “ my favorite player”. My top 3 goats all got 3 consecutive League MVP’s. Only 3 in NBA history.

  Bird would psychologically and physically destroy teams, including their coaching staff. The dude was insane bro.

  Larry wasn't a loud guy.  He didn't yell his trash talking but it was savage.

  Pat Riley said it best. If I needed a shot to win the game, I give it to Jordan. If I needed a shot to save my life, I give it to Larry...

  I can honestly say that, being a Laker/Magic/Kareem fan, and having watched every Laker/Celts matchup in the &apos;80s and &apos;90s, if I had known that he was trash-talking like that, I would have hated him even more. <br>I&apos;m glad I didn&apos;t find out till the sting went away. These stories are one of a kind, just like Larry Legend. He IS the GOAT, imo.

  Don&apos;t forget, Larry Bird was the first real legend. He was called Larry Legend. Because he was a legend. He&apos;s a Hall of Famer. He&apos;s a 3 time MVP winner, 3 Finals Championship winner, 2 Finals MVP winner, 3-point contest winner x 3, 12 x All-star, 3 x All Defensive player, Dream Team Gold Medalist, Pacers Coach of the Year and Pacers Executive of the Year. Larry was the best. He still is the greatest all-around player of all time.<br><br>Side note: It WAS a toxic relationship between the LA Lakers and the Boston Celtics in the 80s. Both teams hated each other. Larry Bird and Magic hated each other. The fans hated each other. <br><br>It wasn&apos;t until the summer of &apos;85 when Larry Bird and Magic Johnson shot a Converse shoe commercial at Larry&apos;s house. And because of that meeting, Larry and Magic became friends. <br><br>Just thought I&apos;d let you know for your absorption of basketball history knowledge. Great job, young man.

  Larry has said on several occasions: &nbsp;&quot;The black man is the best athlete in the world and I always want to play against the best.&quot;
