LEGEND: The Complete Story of Larry Bird | Documentary
“LEGEND: The Complete Story of Larry Bird” is an original documentary surrounding the life and career of NBA legend Larry Bird. From his early life in rural French Like, Indiana, to his historic career that saw him capture the heart of the city of Boston…and the world.

Being able to watch the documentary of Larry Bird was the legend
1,5 hour!? That's crazy man. Awesome work!
Definitely need a Magic documentary after this
Haha, In Birds younger years he was already tearing nets to where he had to wax them🤣
I can't pick which sound I like better the "chuck" as it drops straight through
or the "thunk" as the ball comes in at a 20 degree angle and goes in off the back of the rim
A true pioneer at the wing position and all time clutch performer man. 3 straight MVP's against a young MJ, Prime Magic, Isiah and co. Larry was like that fr
This channel is so underrated. The amount of time and effort you put into your vids really deserve more subs and views. Keep it up! You'll be the no.1 NBA docu channel in no time.
Awesome documentary….that's an 80s – 90s work ethic right there…get up and go to work, sore neck meh…sore arms meh…sore back meh…go do your job. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks Trice…feel like a kid again.
Great documentary about Larry Legend! Iconic athlete. Keep up the good work! 🏀
The question needs to be asked, what would have happened if he didn’t hurt his back? It’s scary to think how much better he could have been had he been healthy.
I loved larry his hard ass way of being and that comes from being poor in a small town something a lot of us 80s kids can relate with his playing is what got me liking Larry but his story is what made me love bird overcoming what he was born into from pure talent super inspiring
You had "M.L. Carr" labeled as "Nate 'Tiny' Archibald". Might want to clean that up. 🏀
This is the player who dominated the league while the original Dream Team players were still playing.
Thank you to everyone who has shown love to this project! It was an honor to tell the story of one of the true legends of the game.
Wanted to make a quick note, at the 35:04 mark “M.L. Carr” was mislabeled as “Nate “Tiny” Archibald”.
Thank you to everyone for watching!
Masterpiece!!!
Bird wasn't scary because of what he did,….
He was scary because he told you exactly how he would do it.

Well put together package. Very well done ❤ 🇦🇺
Larry "The Anomoly" Bird! The goat tamer!
It was a true joy and an honor to have watched those great Celtic teams! I'm an Irish Catholic from Newport, Ky. Which is also the hometown of Celtic great Dave Cowens. It was a natural to be a Celtics fan. Then Bird became a Celtic and that solidified my love for the Celtics. Storybook fandom imho.😊
Bro… just finished watching. You keep getting better and better at this man. I can't wait to see what you're like in a year or two, it's gonna be insane
You censored out the “playing like sissies” and “playing like women” comments.
I don’t care how offended some of your viewers get…those comments motivated his team. If he stuck to the censored version you all showed, the series would have been over in 5, and history would have been very different.
Quit walking on eggshells with the overly offended
Seeing the rivalry between Bird and Magic reminds me of Hadlee/Botham and Imran Khan in the heady days of the 80's if they weren't playing against each other the first thing that they would do is see what each other player had accomplished that day
It made them as great as they are
great doco cheers for this and go Celtics!
THE ORIGINAL BIRD MAN 💪💯
My grandma NEVER called him Larry Bird, it was Larry Joe fuckin Bird
