Again I'll say: Not Jordan. Not James.

Bird.

When my memory goes, I look forward to seeing this again for the first time.

When you listen to Wilkens talk about Bird, you respect both even more. Two super greats. Some of us were so lucky in life to watch both of them.

"We both deserve to win, but somebody has to go home."  Larry gave rookie Dominique trash, but very much respected him after.
I love watching Walton on the side lines.  Larry does something amazing and he's very happy, but never surprised... yeah, that's Larry.

Great video, but one correction.. Even more amazing. After Bird had double Achilles surgery, he came back in 89-90 and played in 75gms avg 24,3pts 9.5reb 7.5ass 1.4stls on 47.3 fg%and 93% from the line. Made 2nd team All-NBA. Legend.

Man Wilkins was a beast!  And I appreciate that he appreciates the greats he played against.

Bird & Wilkins……two of the best players in NBA history. I respect them both tremendously!

I am not a basketball fan but I am definitely a Larry Bird fan and I had no clue who Kevin McHale was before watching Larry Bird videos but he is pretty wicked and Dominique is a class act all the way😊😊😊😊

I believe the fact that many have forgotten how good bird was makes it equally sad that Wilkins has been forgotten.  Dominique wasn't only a dunker. He was a great player.

Pat Riley once said that if he needed a player to make a shot to win a game, it would be Jordan.  If he needed somebody to make a shot to save his life, it would be Bird.

Basketball was different back then. These young bucks in today's NBA would get bodied so hard and have no one to cry to.

Larry Bird didn't just drop out of the sky.  He continuously worked on his game.  He did so well because he kept putting in the work.

You'd never expect Dominique Wilkins the man and Dominque Wilkins the NBA player to be the same person. He seems like such a super nice, gentle dude. In that great period of NBA play in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I can only imagine Dominque was one of the scariest opponents, sheerly terrifying. The double persona of Dominique Wilkins.

What a great video! FYI: Larry Bird not only played this game with painful bone spurs on the bottoms of both feet,  with injuries to both achilles tendons, he also played this game while suffering from bronchial pneumonia, according to an article archived on the NBA website. Astounding.

Both of these players are head and shoulders above Lebron as basketball players and as people.

Bird, Jordan, Kobe, Wilkins, Hakeem. In no particular order, those guys would crush everybody forever.

We thank you Prime Larry Bird for yet another great story!

Man, McHale was one of the greats and a big fellow, if I was his size I dont know if I would act so gentlemanly against bullying players. Kudos for keeping his cool for so many years and being a perfect match to THE LEGEND

Toughest player ever, 91 Pacers series too he was already banged up from his back and he hits the parquet floor face first and fractures his cheekbone and still came back out and took over the game
