Michael Jordan vs Larry Bird Crazy Battle Highlights!

"Michael Jordan would make you look slow, Bird would make you look stupid. "

Bird averaged double digit rebounds for his career, was an excellent passer, and was the league MVP three years in a row.

"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

Larry Bird is the most clutch player ever, followed closely by Jordan, then a bunch of space, and then everybody else.

Bird played this game toward the end of his career with a debilitated spine and still put in the work to win over the Jordan-led Bulls.

All Basketball No Acting (flopping)

The thing is Jordan came into his prime in the very late 80s and early 90s... by that time birds lower back and both his feet were absolute jelly. He was in massive pain every time he took a step. You simply can't rate 89 bird against 85 bird

You'll notice the players didn't fall down every possession. Today, players shoot a free throw and fall down.

You can tell Larry is in Pain. This was towered the end of Larry's playing. MJ said He learned a lot from watching Larry & mainly on how to Trash Talk to get in Peoples heads.

This was a non-prime Larry. Failing back. Larry is the only star from that Era that MJ never won a playoff game against and was swept 2x by Bird's Celtics. There is no other superstar from that time Bird didn't beat in a playoff series at least once.

Appreciate y'all giving the birdman his props ❤

I think people forget how big Bird was and how well he rebounded. Averaged 24 points and 10 boards for his career

Larry Legend is in my top 3 of all time greats.

“Bron the GOAT” says someone under 25 lol.

Respectfully im a bit older and seen how basketball has changed over the years and i can 100 % guarantee you that lebron is inferior to Jordan. There's no such thing as a goat in any sport thats had a long history and is team oriented. Having said that Jordan had to pay his dues physically in a way that lebron NEVER had to do. You talk about not being able to touch Jordan but trust me he got knocked around plenty ! !League is different, its barely the same sport.

So this is Larry Bird after the back injury (plus reinjuring it twice) and in 1989 he snapped both Achilles tendons at the same time. Seemed to be moving pretty well. Had 3 blocks and a steal this game too. If you don't know old school ball, he was going up mainly against Horace Grant who was not a slouch. He was an all star one year and 4 time 2nd team All Defense. and Jordan, you definitely got to watch his stuff. Yes, he leaped, but he also had more body control than other leapers, crazy smooth with both hands.....his creativity in the air was unrivaled.

Larry Bird was so slow but he was so efficient with his limited movement. He was already at the end of his career in this video and it’s crazy how effective he was at the end of his career.

Im a bird fan, but Jordan is a killer player too - and Larry himself even once said he was "Jesus disguised as Michael Jordan. Larry always gave credit where it was due

Larry Bird's passing highlight reel is mind blowing!

All that LeFLOP nonsense at the end. Time to react to Jordan vs Lebron The Definitive Goat Debate video
