What NBA Legends And Players Think Of Larry Bird

Now, we all know Larry was a breed of player unlike any other, standing tall at 6-foot-9, with passing skills and court vision that left fans in awe. And let's not forget, he was one of the pioneers of the three-point shot, making it rain long before it became the norm.

"If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life...I'd take Larry Bird." - Pat Riley

Jordan made you look slow. Bird made you look stupid.

Wilkins "I hate when they compare people to Larry, he was a phenomenon. I've never seen anybody like him. The fact he wasn't very athletic but could still score on you. He even tell you what he was going to do, it just made him that more special".

[OntarioAndrews]

Bird was then and is now my all time favorite NBA player.

There is no one I would ever want to watch more than Larry Bird! Even my Aunt and Uncle who never watched basketball became an avid fan of his!

I’ve been Celtics fan since the late 1970s. Yeah, I’m old. Bird completely revitalized the team. What he did for the Celtics is what Jordan did for the Bulls or Kobe did for the Lakers. For everything Bird lacked in physical ability, he more than made up for in skill and mental toughness.

[Paul-zfob]

Larry and Magic were the two greatest players ever. They could do whatever they wanted. They made team mates much better than they were and controlled games!

[thorgardhaugen]

Larry Bird is a must have in every top 5 player list. If he's not included this list is worth shit

[joiewick]

The 80's & 90's was the tru basketball era; Larry bird & magic Johnson changed the game

We Love You Larry Bird..From Georgia..🤟🏻💚🌟🌻🍑

[Sunny-jzdy]

The Celtics had to fight much harder to make it to a championship! The ECF competition was so much tougher than West at that time! Of course Magic got more rings....his course was way easier!!! Larry Bird has had to fight for everything! He's the One True GOAT!!!

[brealistic]

Larry was never about the Stats, he was about winning. He was Mr. Clutch. He turned around a awful team into a Major Winner by energizing his team with his great attitude and skills.

In the 9 years before his back/foot injuries... Bird had 3 rings (5 finals), 3 MVPs, 2 Finals MVPs, averaged 25/10/6. Had the first 2 40/50/90 seasons ever and was fractions away from 2 more before those. His team won 60+ games 6 times, never winning less than 56 and once going 67-15, 4th best ever at the time before expansion. He is still the fastest to reach 10k points, 5k rebounds and 3k assists.

Bird averaged the same points, assists and steals per game as Stephen Curry while also having the same rebounds per game as Karl Malone.

Larry Bird, my favourite sportsman of all time :)

[pedrodutra]

Shout out to Oscar Schmidt. The greatest shooter of all time. It’s great that you mentioned him, he’s too forgotten. Oscar shooting game was unreal, he couldn’t miss… legend

Its true Jordan was a "None Factor" as Thomas said in the 80s. Pistons toyed with him, Bird dominated Jordons teams. If Bird did not hurt his back I wonder if Jordon would have won even 2 NBA titles.
