The Best Larry Bird REVENGE Story Ever Told

" I tried to throw the ball at the ref. Laimbeer's face got in the way". 🙂 Only Larry Bird could come up with such a line.

I remember when McHale was on Cheers and they had an x-ray. McHale said, "That's not mine, it says adult male gorilla ..... must be Laimbeer" :)

3:48 Only Bird, in a fit of rage, could laser the ball past 3 people who were in the line-of-sight between him and Laimbeer and nail him with precision.

Bird....best clutch player I've ever seen.

Throwing the ball at the referee!! Bills face got in the way

This was absolutely the BEST era in NBA History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Laimbeer hit Jordan, Oakley immediately went after Laimbeer. Oakley always had Jordans back and that’s why Jordan and Oakley are still friends today.

As a kid, i hated Laimbeer before i knew what hate was.

How Bill Laimbeer didn't get shot and killed by the opponent, their fans, and anyone else is a fucking miracle.

I love Larry Bird for that game. I thought we were beat. Me and my Grandpa and Uncle Norman start jumping up and down. When Larry stole the ball from Lambeir and past it to Dennis Johnson to beat the Pistons.

NEVER GET TIRED OF LARRY LEGEND#33 NBA 🏀STORIES ..

I love when Bird nails Lambeer square in the face with the Ball . They never even called fouls . 80's hoops was rough

Bird is a Hall of Famer and recognized as one of the all time greats! Laimbeer is just a footnote in NBA history!

The world is a lesser place without hearing Johnny Most calling a Celtics basketball game screaming about "Counterfeit Bill", his nickname for Bill Laimbeer.

Been a Celtics fan since 75. The game being played in this footage is what I came up on. The current, flop-filled, shoot 50 3's a game, trade superstars every single year, allow 5 "eurosteps" w/no travel, game just doesn't do it for me anymore. And that sucks because I'm a huge sports fan, and b-ball is my favorite sport... Saw a story recently about the league possibly calling fouls and giving FTs to the opposing team for flopping... 🤔🤔🤔 It's definitely a start👍🏼 Awesome video Never be another Larry Legend!💚

When you mention the name Larry Bird, make sure you always say Larry THE LEGEND Bird. The best Small Forward to ever play the game.

Bird channeled his energy into excellence, Laimbeer dissipated his in ignoble and classless behavior. A world of difference.

I well remember the play where Bird stole the inbounds pass. I leaped out of my recliner at home, and shot my fist in the air as I screamed at the top of my lungs.....and knocked a hole in my living room ceiling. True Story. I really did that. I mean I had always said it was the greatest basketball play of Bird's career and the best one I'd ever seen....but it's nice to hear it said here on this video clip.

this animosity between these two never really goes away after all these years, you can tell by the way Larry speaks of Bill Laimbeer

I love watching these videos...I couldn't help but think today's NBA players wouldn't be able to handle the level of physicality there was in the 80s and 90s...the good ol' days of great basketball
