My favorite sports quote of all time is Jordan made you look slow, but Bird made you look stupid.

[SadDad]

One minute in, and I already saw 3 technicals, 2 flgrants, and an ejection in today's NBA 🤣
I miss this era. Grown men, really out there playing like it matters.

Dennis Johnson was critically underrated. Instrumental to these Celtics and the SuperSonics championship obviously. DJ was the man

[ksollwb]

After watching this, I have to say that I prefer that version of the NBA. The inside game and the mid-range jumpers impress me more than endless threes and no defense. Even the misses created exciting put-back efforts.

[Stevesautopartsify]

I'd rather watch this series on a repeated loop for the rest of my days rather then 5 mins of the current no defense, 3 point shoot out, load management, no loyalty player super teams NBA!

"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

[skweetis]

This game wasn't about Kareem "disrespecting" Bird (yeah they were jawing but just two GOATs being competitive). It was more a reaction to the Showtime Lakers running roughshod over the Celtics in game 3 (137-104). After that game, the Celtics were down 2-1 and all the momentum was with the Lakers. Bird called his team "sissies" in postgame interviews, and they as a team came to play physical in this next game to throw the Lakers off their rhythm and turn a footrace into a slugfest. Honestly one of the greatest finals series ever, absolutely legendary.

It’s crazy watching these old highlights, how much harder the fouls were.
Meanwhile today, Lebron gets touched with a pinky and goes flying. 😂

[FreedomFighter]

These were the golden years of basketball

[ronniewylie]

The highlights of this game are better than anything the NBA has now. My goodness, do I miss real basketball.

[JGD]

I haven't watched basketball in YEARS and I actually got excited watching this. This type of play is great, much more physical and team-oriented than today.

[MaxSoutter]

Its time to officially acknowledge Bird as Top 5, all time.

[Nickecho]

I'm not sure what game they play today, but THIS is basketball!

[johngalt]

0:39 favorite no call ever, Cooper butt checked over the photographers by Bird

[centexan]

Over time, we tend to forget just hiw great these games were. As a young man I was a die hard Bird, McHale and Celtics fan. Thanks!

[williamwright]

More physical than today's NFL. Love it as a fan.

[Blackphillipsupporter]

So many legends on those two teams. This rivalry is what saved the NBA in the 80's

[dougmcnair]

I remember watching this game with my dad just stunned at how hard and how good these teams played.

[stevebon]

Bird was a beast...Growing up in New England, it was a joy to watch him play

[moosewhizzerdave]

The only time I ever paid attention to basketball was during this era. Larry Bird was not fluid or graceful at all, but boy could that guy shoot, and was he ever effective. What a talent, what a competitor. And I don't mean that to downplay the level of talent overall in that series. That series was absolutely incredible. I look at those two teams, and am reminded of the incredible level of talent that was on that court. Today's NBA is absolutely unwatchable by comparison.
