Larry Bird Trash Talking

The Greatest Trash Talker the game has ever seen. Larry Joe Bird.

Larry: "Coach, just give me the ball and tell everyone to get out of the way."

K.C. Jones: "Shut up Larry, I'm running the team! Everyone give the ball to Larry and get out of his way!"

This why Larry Bird in my top 5 all time favorites. He was a great trashtalker, and his skill backed him up to make him unstoppable on both fronts.

I don't even like basketball, but can't get enough of Larry Bird highlights. Legend.

Larry bird never talked trash, he predicted the future!

In 1985, the Boston Celtics legend had arguably the greatest game of his career, almost recording a quadruple-double in a blowout win over the Utah Jazz. Bird only played 33 minutes, logging 30 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, and 9 steals. When asked why he sat out the 4th Quarter, he said "I've done enough damage". Larry was a Savage ...

“Hey Frank! You have anybody on that bench that can guard me?”

“No” 🤣🤣🤣

Great to see Dominique Wilkins on here. My favorite player growing up. The 1980's NBA was unbelievably fun.

"fly bird" my gosh...THAT is a true player!

Larry is the most athletic non athletic person ever to live.

Larry was the bad guy when I was a kid. As a man I realize he was and is a pure treasure. He made everyone run home and tune in to every game. Thank you Larry you made the NBA great.

[TS-rbzl]

He revived the Celtics and the NBA at the same time with his clutch plays and fierce rivalries. GOAT.

[Djm]

Basketball was dying before Bird and Magic. They saved the game of basketball and gave us the best era of basketball when it was still a team sport.

I've watched this a hundred times. And I'll watch it a hundred more. Can't get enough. Dudes ain't even mad at Larry. They just shake their head and laugh. Respect.

"Why you putting a white guy on me?" "It's disrespectful!"--Larry Bird-A White Guy 😂😂😂😂

Growing up in Larrys hometown you hear all kinds of storys. Once the man that told me this story was playing a game of pickup ball with Larry's brothers in West Baden, Indiana. Larry drives up and out of boredom bets his youngest brother $100 he's going to hit a three. For the fun of it Eddie took him on as Larry swishes the three. Larry doubles down on it saying $200 he can make a half courter. Thinking no way Eddie takes it as Larry swishes it once again. He then doubles down again on another shot before Eddie had to back out. Larry loved betting on himself because he knew he could back it up. He lived for those moments.

For an all too brief amount of time, Larry was so much better than everyone else in the league that even his opponents were entertained. The Atlanta Hawks bench got fined for rolling over and laughing after Larry said "3 pointer, trainer's lap", and then went out, made a 3, got fouled, and ended up in the trainer's lap. I can't think of any other player that ever did that. And he did stuff like that pretty much every game. Certainly the most entertaining player I ever saw.

He called me Holmes, lol. Larry played with black guys everyday after school. Larry didn't see color. Such a great guy. I love all these older players now, they so chilled and cool. Great bunch of guys.

[peterc]

His no look passing game was so tight. As kids we would try to imitate him. Those were some great days

[michaelkenyon]

Legend. I hated him because I’m a Laker fan. But I love him cuz he was a brilliant player. Larry you were one of the greatest players ever. Mad trash talker.

Larry was slow, but he also moved so efficiently that it looked weird. He had no wasted movement and always seemed to mentally be 1-2 steps ahead of his competition, no matter who it was. He isnt the best, but he was one of the greats. Still one of the most unique players in the game
