That  defense looked soft as hell for the most part , but Bird was that dude

Larry would get bored in games so he'd shoot with his off hand, or take certain types of shots. This isn't the only instance.

 

[f3djam]

i think the boston players even had a bet that who'd score the most points with left hand or sth. it was in simmons' book

It's still hard though. I'm the same way and it takes skill to be able to do that.

Larry Legend

 

[dyyhard]

that double clutch left hander in the lane at around 5:00 was nice...

 

[axel f0ley]

was he also better at smoking marijuana than rasheed wallace?

 

[jthagreat]

i can honestly say i never (dont remember) ever seein bird play.

Wow, for how unathlectic he was (in this vid) he was the man. man that arc on his shot was crazy.

I hate the Celtics, but you're a damn fool if you don't recognize how great Larry Bird was.

Shhhhhhh!!!! You'll start another argument... besides, you have it the other way around

Larry was a better athlete than people thought - sure, he couldn't jump high and he wasn't explosive - but his conditioning was excellent - that combined with his intelligence meant he could be very efficient - hence his rebounding numbers for his career.

I love watching him play - I have a few games with him from the mid 80s.

That was a serious triple double too - he had 10 and 11 in the 3rd quarter I think.

Left handed layups is one thing - but hookshots in traffic is a different story - he just made it look easy.
