Absolutely absurd

If Bird and Durant played each other Durant would be crying in the locker room at halftime saying Bird hurt his feelings.

Bird is top 5, and the top small forward.

No way in hell Larry said that word. Total bullshit.

3 MVP's with Magic and Michael in the league.

There are so many very good if not great players who all say Larry Bird talked more shit than anybody, but also backed up his shit like no other player EVER.

There is no way those two morons are telling the truth. Bird would NOT call them "n-words". What I know about Larry Bird is he's a Legend in the NBA, best player ever and he's good people. He can even laugh at himself. Not even being into basketball, I LOVE Larry Bird.

Lots of goats, only one legend!

maxwell YOU LIE THE EFFECTS OF COCAINE ON THE BRAIN

Trying to get Larry in trouble.

Besides being the MVP for 3 years, Bird was ALSO 2nd in MVP voting for 4 years, 3rd for 1 year, and 4th for 1 year.  All of this was between 1980 and 1988.  Top that.

People always leave out Bird's defense. Led league in defensive win shares 4 times. You can count the number of players on one hand who did that

Kevin Durrant was not loyal to one team Larry Bird the GOAT

I graduated HS in 1984 and Bird was my hero athlete.

Bird is on the Mount Rushmore of Basketball, and definitely one of the most intimidating players to play in the NBA, not because he was physically intimidating, but because he was playing 3D chess, while most players were playing checkers. Even Kareem admitted that Larry’s brain was his biggest weapon.

without thinking too hard, larry is top 5.  we are talking winners here.  everybody lucky he had a bad back.

Larry Bird, any fkn day, year, month, decade, and century —-including Sunday

I never heard any other black players say that Larry ever said that! DON'T BELIEVE HIM! 🙈🙉🙊

Larry Bird controlled the game just like Bill Russel did and it can be argued he literally played against ALL the hardest opponents of the 80s and early 90s.

You know Bird was the truth when well known racist Vernon Maxwell speaking highly about him (even though lying about what Bird said to him)
