Larry Bird Game Winner in Michael Jordan's Face

Jordan never could cover Larry legend. When both were in prime it was game over. Bird dominated.

same shot as the game winner in game 4 1984 finals w magic guarding him. why not?

after seeing that if Jordan is all world then Larry out of this universe

tall ass bird with a jumper. shit i dont blame jordan, he tried man.

Correction : on MJ and Scottie's faces

Best forward ever. The only person to win rookie of the year, regular season MVP, finals MVP, coach of the year and executive of the year

the only player MJ has a loosing record against, Mr. Bird

Bird jump shot in jordans face
And McHale packed jordans shit back to carolina
In about 5.6 sec

I wonder if Bird told them what he was going to do before the inbound play? He had giant balls of steel and would often do that.

Scottie chooses to play Bird from behind and once you get posted up by Bird in that close that turn around of Larry's was barbecue chicken no matter who was guarding him.

Hedo Turkoglu is better

Be like Mike? Nope. Rather be like Bird. Jordan whiny like a little bitch at his HOF induction was a big turn off.

1 - if Bird had missed, would Reggie have gotten the rebound? and 2 - who comes out to get on MJ at the end? Is that Chief? All the way out to the 3-pt line? And McHale gets the block from behind, or is it Chief, or both of them? (Video fuzzy.)

La pesadilla de jordan larry bird jajjsjsjsjsjsnsnnns

No one ever asks, "Who's the GOAT, Michael Jordan or Larry Bird?" There's a reason for that.

I've seen this many times but when you break it down Bird is terrifyingly smart.

As soon as he passes in he absolutely sprints the length of the court to get position virtually under the ring on the shorter pippen- that's bird seeing the opportunity down the floor and sprinting to set it up before anyone can put body on him.

That in turn sets up space behind him, giving him a really good low post position - the one part of the game where his height and strength means that Pippen, who was quick, agile, a great leaper and a great face up defender, would be at a defensive disadvantage.

Knowing that the double team will be coming, he then works Pippen left towards the baseline to get himself a few steps further away from the inevitable Jordan double team, before taking the pass, Pippen commits left as the pass comes in, because that's where it seems
Bird and the ball is heading and in that split second Bird' goes to the right fallaway, into the space he created, and its all over. It looks like an easy shot but it's only an easy shot because bird games this shit out before he gets anywhere near the ball and manipulates his man into a position where he can win the game with a shot he'd nail 9/10 with his eyes closed.

It's no coincidence that Jordan is in the air frantically trying to block it as soon as the double team is legal- he's the only other player out there with the basketball smarts to realize what Bird is doing - and he guessed right, he just figured it out a split second too late.

Larry routinely bitch slapped Jordan. He was a stone cold assassin.

LARRY LEGEND FOR THE WIN .

Merkin- I would choose the late great Manure Bol. He would drain one of his SWEET 3's--All Net

MANUTE

Foul last shot of Jordan

In your face, micheal,

Larry Bird had ice cold water in his veins under pressure.

Nobody could guard Bird. No two players could guard Bird. Bird.

Bird schooled Jordan. Of course. 😏

Bird totally got away with an elbow against Pippen.

Jordan looked like DeRozan before Stern decided to protect him

Followed by MJ blocked 😂

and this was Bird with all kinds of injured and a broken body...nearing the end of his career.

Loved Bird hits the shot and Mike eats the ball. Made my day

Jordan you're too small .

The First Dance hahahah

It looked like Jordan’s shot was blocked by Parish and not McHale. Hard to tell for sure. The picture is kind of fuzzy.

Damn, scored over Jordan AND Pippen and with the play drawn up. Gangsta...

Bird was a killer

Bird did that so many times it got routine

Sadly CostCordero is not here to praise Larry Bird's schooling on both Jordan and Pippen

Let's not forget the tight defense by both McHale and Parish. Both blocked Jordan's las attempt!

Bird was the original fadeaway master!

That’s when Michael realized “I have to learn the fadeaway shot!”

Bird is the Best in my lifetime, no better floor general and the ability to get the most out of his teamates.

If bird had a healthy back Jordan wouldn't have won rings

Larry got better with age like fine wine while Bill Laimbeer was like skunk lame beer and was still a whiner.

Keep in mind this man is just short of his 34th birthday here and he's playing with a back that's been screwed up allegedly since mid-1984 but who knows.

Soon he realized that sport isn't what they cared about the most 😆

HAHAHAHAHAHAW yeah this confirms that Jordan would be a less skilled Lavine in todays day NBA
I don't want to hear Jordan GOAT no more
Damn that's tuff
Now that I think about it Pippen made Jordan 😳

Bird is better than Lebron cause Lebron has specific spots on the floor where he could shoot and others he couldnt, same with Jordan. A big reason why they both are so ball dominant because they are more athletic and could blow by guys to get to those spots a lot easier. Bird however was at his best playing off ball, and had many many more spots on the floor where he was comfortable shooting from. Because of that he was always in a perfect flow with his team and made insane passes every game, and all of his teammates actually looked good even when they werent. Imo JR Smith would have excelled a lot better with Larry Bird than with Lebron. Lebron's style turns all around guys like JR Smith into jumpshooters that sometimes make bad decisions because they arent in rythym. Bird's movement off ball, ability to shoot from anywhere, and constant hustle on defense would make JR attack the rim way more and defend more too. Just the greatest teammate ever. If he were in today's league any team he goes to would instantly build around him and could easily get him good big men and a 3 and D at SG and they would beat almost any team
