  You have no idea how deep the Larry Bird well goes. Top-tier passer. Top-tier rebounder. Top-tier free-throw shooter. Top-tier hustle. Top tier jump shooter. Top tier IQ. Top tier 3 point shooter. Top tier team leader. Top tier trash talker.

  He was slow because he had a bad back most of the time he played. Also magic and Larry are still friends to this day. What magic said on Larry&apos;s retirement was insane <br>Magic: &quot;you only told one lie your whole career&quot;<br>Larry: &quot;just 1&quot;? &quot;That&apos;s pretty good&quot;<br>Magic: &quot;you only told 1 lie to me and the people here. You don&apos;t remember do you? I&apos;ll say it (looks down and pauses) you said that there will be another Larry bird one day. And Larry..... THERE WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER BE ANOTHER LARRY BIRD one day. You take that to the bank, I love you, I respect you, and I admire you&quot; . Truly one of the best retirement speeches ever for an athlete.

  Bird was the guy who dominated the golden era of the NBA. He got 67% of all MVP votes in the 80&apos;s against Dr. J, Magic, Jordan, Isaiah, Drexler, Malone etc<br>Jordan was playing but was just another good guy in the 80&apos;s, he became great only after Magic and Bird retirement.

  Larry’s jab step was so effective <b>because</b> he was such an all-around threat that his opponents were on edge — if he wasn’t shooting, he was making crazy passes. If he looked like he was committed to shooting, he’d fake the crap out of them. He could already be IN his shooting motion and suddenly pass it at a weird angle or behind his head. You’d swear Bird had eyeballs all over his head, his court vision was <b>that</b> insanely excellent. <br>“Bird was a bad man” sums it up perfectly.

  What made Bird so special was that he didn&apos;t do it all himself; he made his teammates better. With his passes, his teammates had to be paying attention 100% of the time because the ball might appear at any time.That kept them involved, and made them better. Boston went from 29 wins the year before Bird to 61 wins with him as a rookie. In college, he took the Indiana State Sycamores to an undefeated regular season, and to the NCAA finals, where they lost to Magic Johnson and Michigan State, and it wasn&apos;t because Indiana State had a bunch of talent other than Bird.

  He was also a coach of the year and an executive of the year. Bird and Magic absolutely saved a dying NBA.

  You do know Bird is the founding member of the 50-40-90 club, he played with a broken back, concussion, fractured face, week after foot surgery his basketball IQ was genius. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson saved the NBA. Love love love 80s basketball!!

  I watched both Larry and Michael Jordan play in person. Both are total legends. I used to play the video game called Jordan vs Bird back when I was a kid. I would walk into the arena and see Bird on the other team and think &quot;Awe, man we gonna lose&quot;.

  Jordan was <b>0 in 6</b> against Larry in the Playoffs. Michael even scored 60+ points in one of those games. Larry was the <b>only</b> Pro-Player Jordan <b>never</b> got &quot;revenge&quot; against.
