In 1974 Larry Bird was my P.E assistant when I was in the 8th grade and
he was a senior at Springs Valley High School. At the beginning of each
P.E. class we always ran 10 warmup laps around the gym. One day, a
trampoline was set up on the basketball court and there was Larry Bird
bouncing on it. As the whistle blew and we reluctantly lined up to run
our laps, our teacher (who was also Larry's basketball coach) blew his
whistle, and said "Larry is going to take 10 shots while jumping on the
trampoline. If Larry makes any shots, each one made will delete a lap
that you must run." Coach threw the ball to Larry and right there in
front of me and the entire boys Jr. High P.E. class, Larry proceeded to
hit 7 out of 10 shots while bouncing up and down on the trampoline, 35
feet away from the goal. Larry set an incredible example for me as a
young boy in French Lick, Indiana that helped me through my entire adult
career. If you are willing to work very hard and never give up, your
dreams can and will come true. Thank you Larry.
Imagine larry playing today and giving him more room because of the constant fouls called today. He would be unstoppable
Bird was the GOAT before the GOAT MJ
It was an awesome period because you had Bird and Magic and either one could take out the other's team in a playoff series. I wish Jordan had had a comparable situation but during his time he was totally dominant with no real rival. That does not diminish Jordan, actually speaks accolades about him but it would have been more entertaining during that period if he had a real direct rival like the Magic and Bird scenario.
Lol this dude explaining documentary clips for his YouTube vids 😂
Larry Bird is my all-time favorite. Followed closely by Michael Jordan. But Larry Legend is the GOAT.
Come chuck! Really bird was better! Sorry love ya but no contest. In a respectful way chuck! Loved watching you play! Bball isn't close to what it used to be. To me the NBA today is a joke!
Larry would have averaged about 70 points a game in today’s NBA where you watch players take open shots instead of defense.
Kareems hook shot was so smooth
Bird was like no other for sure….
Larry destroyed people with a busted back, theyd have no shot against prime Bird
Byrd, Jordon, Magic. Basketball does have anything close to that now. But we do have kneeling, blm, and black fictitious national anthems.
I miss Basketball.
"Larry was really good at trash talking his opponents." So you might say that Bird is good at… chirping
so you're doing the bs giveaway shit too huh
Bird was in the original dream team! With the greats!!
Bill Russell
He was awesome
I loved watching Larry play back then. Every game was another display of his ability to out think everyone else on the floor. I wish i had known about all the trash talking; that would have made watching him much more fun! That was the best era in basketball.
I think what i admire most about Larry, though, was how he stood by Majic after he was diagnosed with HIV. Bitter enemies turned best friends.
UNCANNY!!!
A fierce competitor that outsmarted his competition.
If Larry were un his prime now he would be dominating in today's NBA
How about pistol Pete , bad arse dude with a B.B.
I'm from the 60s, so I've seen all Larry Birds games on National T.V. he was the king of the 3 pointer fade aways .
He could play and dominate any position . he and Mc Hale were the best
at passing off plays of his time . Bird
played mind games and used his brain
to dominate and know his every next play .
