The Best Larry Bird vs Luka Doncic Story Ever Told

"The one thing I've tried to avoid all video... that ties them together... the stepback jumpshot." Dude, I love what you did there, rofl! 😂

I can say I am absolutely a Larry Bird fanatical fan. This dude's the closest I've seen.

Larry Bird would have been on another level in today's game with today's rule's. Not taking away anything from Luka.

Two different players. There will never be another Larry Bird.

I love Luka. Hands down my favorite player in the league right now but as Magic said there will never be another Bird, ever.

Bird is one of the starters on an all-time lineup. Respect to what Luka is doing for reaching a level where you can start making any type of comparison to a top 5 player. Great job of putting this vid together.

What I want to hear is how Doncic has added his own creativity to what he learned from studying Larry.

Best hoops vid I have ever seen. The comparison vis back to back. Must've taken forever looking through film. A freaking work of art!

I watched the legendary Bird played and I’m currently enjoying watching Luka play as well. I will tell you this though, back then it’s hard to look good and score consistently bc people would grab on to everything that’s attached to u. Example, I used to play in many pickup games in Brooklyn. On days that I faced non physical teams I would roast them but against physical teams I could barely get shots off and when I do they weren’t consistently falling. Based on this alone I’d picked Bird all day and everyday over Luka!

Larry was a great defender too.

It's uncanny how similar they are. As a big time Larry fan, it's an absolute pleasure watching Luka ball.

It seems to me the only differences are the left-handed game, the fact that Bird did it out of boredom, and the toughness of the league in the 80's. Also, the trash talking of Larry was several notches above Luka. But, hey, he's getting there!

It is undeniable that he has the same style game. You need individual standouts in the context of being a team player to give the game another level of interest.

Of course, as Luka is now getting amazing enough to merit some comparison to Bird, and Luka is dominating the league, we still have people who think Larry couldn’t play today.

The ONLY difference between Luka and Larry is, and no one seems to bring this up, DEFENSE. Larry played during a time when NO BLOOD NO FOUL ... now i think Luka is a generational talent ... for the current generation, and he is benefitting from years of NBA executives, officials, and the like , CLEANING up the flagrant fouls and all around dirty play ... Larry Bird PLAYED THROUGH IT. If Larry Bird didn't have the problems with his back, the man could suit up today at 66 years old ... and average 60 !

Great uploads. Larry Legend is the GOAT. You should make videos on more NBA subjects too I'd sub to that channel. hilarious subversion at 5:50. I never considered that larry was a pioneer of the step back.

When Bird played you weren't allowed to travel, just saying

Loved this video. The Celtics/Lakers/Pistons battles of the 1980s and 90s were just so awesome. It's great to bring back those memories. Great humor in this video, and amazing clips of Bird and Doncic looking like carbon copies of each other. Terrific!

Bird over EVERYONE!
