"Larry Bird can't run or jump because that was Gods way of keeping things fair" -Charles Barkley

[tomkeller]

You can not say enough about Larry Bird. He was truly a marvel. Like Dr J said, "He was born to play this game." Irrepressible, Unstoppable.

[tomkeller]

Something else that's rarely mentioned about Bird that I think we all appreciated ... he never came off like a hot dog, playing for the camera. Yes, he got excited out there when they won a game. And he loved to make the plays. But he seemed to be content to just play hard, leave it all out on the floor, and let that speak for itself rather than playing for the crowd. That impressed me. And it made it easy to brag about him.

[jsharp]

The opponents' bench laughing in disbelief every time Bird scored is one of best moments in sports.

[kevinblock]

Larry Bird was incredible- I really miss that era of basketball 🏀

[derekhiemforth]

Plus, and this can't be pointed out enough, those three straight MVPs came in the middle of a nine-year run from 1980-1988. In the other six of those nine years, he finished 2nd FOUR times, 3rd once, and 4th once. So he was one of the top four players in the league NINE YEARS IN A ROW, including being the #1 or #2 player SEVEN times!

I grew up watching the Boston Celtics and Larry Bird. I'll never forget how he danced around the court making all those shots, unbelievable passes, how many times he could steal the ball or those long three pointers. Those were the days and Bird gave his all for the love of the game. He loved basketball. It was in his DNA.

[amorrobel]

Bird was a beast. Hands down one of the best ballers to ever touch the professional court.

[godsnobody]

Larry Bird was one of the few players I watched over the years with a sense of awe. The guy had everything as far as the fundamentals...and he had a knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of teammates you don't see that often.

[dhruvverma]

He’s an absolute legend. No one came close to him. And what surprised me the most is that he did all of that with an injured back and minimum jumping when jumping was one of the main skills to have

[johnallenismynameandmusici]

"You're disrespecting me if you put a white guy on me." Classic Bird. I remember watching him and Magic playing in college games and it was intense, fast-paced and amazing. They were making shots from any and every angle back and forth full-court. I remember thinking to myself, "You're watching history in the making." I lived in Boston for a while and they are rabid about the Celtics.

[davidliddell]

Any player who tells another player what he is going to do on the court And you still cannot stop him. Larry Bird was the BEST!!

[megasoma]

Having grown up watching ‘80//90’s basketball I feel sorry for those who missed out. That was the golden age of basketball as far as all-star players and the way the game was played. Bird is top 3/4 of all time and I’m a long suffering Knick fan, but facts are facts.

[MrDeworDie]

I used to watch Larry Bird videos every night for inspiration. Watching him helped improve my passing game immensely

[bernieulincy]

It was a special time in Terre Haute attending ISU back in 1975 - '78 and watching Larry Legend dominate the MVC in every phase of the game. We knew he was a special talent but never could imagine the level he would achieve in the NBA. Definitely one of top 5 to ever play the game.

[TonyinMBSC]

After winning the 3 MVP awards, Bird had his best 2 seasons statistically. In 86/87 & 87/88, Bird became the initial member of the 50/40/90 club. Shooting at least 50% on 2pt shots, 40% on 3s, & 90% from the FT line. Averaging 28 & 30 ppg respectively. Bird was also 2nd in MVP voting in 81, 82, 83 & 88.

[joekenorer]

Larry Bird was a flash strategist, he knew where everyone was on the court at all times. He could tell by the sounds of the different sneakers behind him who was there and what was happening, this made him a pass master and a play maker, and on top of all that he could shoot from any angle. He's all but forgotten these days but he will always be a, if not the, legend.

[irishgrl]

The fact that Larry perfected the spin pass just tells you just how detailed Birds dedication WAS.

[wingman-]

Not only could he play, he can talk trash with the best of them. The one thing that is underrated about Bird is how fundamentally sound he was. I read his autobiography and he always mentioned about always wanting to improve his rebounds and assists and he had no problems with scoring.

[kcash]

I was fortunate to be a Celtics fan during Bird's career. He was great, but he also made his teammates better. He was as good at passing as he was at shooting.
