The best Larry Bird NBA Finals moments with the Boston Celtics
When it comes to NBA basketball in the 1980s, none had a firmer grip on stardom in that era than Hall of Fame Boston Celtics small forward legend Larry Bird. The Hick From French Lick was no slouch on the court — in fact, quite the opposite. Larry Legend was known for telling his opponents exactly how and where he would eviscerate them for our entertainment — and then back it up on the court with chilling regularity.
To try to capture the essence of what a takeover moment from Bird was truly like to witness, the folks behind the “Free Dawkins” YouTube channel put together a highlight reel of the Indiana alum’s best play from the NBA finals in the 1980s for our education or nostalgia as the case may be.
Be sure to check it out for yourself in the clip embedded below, whether for the former, or the latter — or both.
