It's kind of unreal how many future Hall-of-Famers played in that game: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parish, Dr. J, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, Bobby Jones, and Maurice Cheeks. Imagine watching an NBA game where 9 out of 10 players on the court are Hall-of-Famers. That's incredible.
-
You know you got to be one hell of a trash talker to make Dr J throw a punch at you Lmmfao 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
-
Dr. J couldn't guard Larry down low. On top of that, Larry had unbelievable range. He could just keep going deeper outside. Larry was deceptively quick and one of the greatest passers of all-time.
-
Imagine being a rookie Charles Barkley in his 3rd or 4th game ever, and it's preseason, and you're watching Larry Bird and Doctor fucking J throw hands! What an absolute trip
-
well done, nice job putting all this varying coverage together into one very watchable and enjoyable video....overdosed already on Bird videos (my teen and early twenty years)....but this was very much worth it.
-
Larry was whoopin his rear end and his pride. He was torturing J.
-
This was not a pre-season game. This occurred six games into the 1984-85 season: 11/9/84.
-
Bird and Doc never knew when this happened that it would still be talked about so much 40 years later. I think this incident speaks of the extreme competitiveness of both fantastic players.
-
Bird was setting the tone were going to kick your ass and nothing you gonna do about it we are the Eastern conference champions 😅
-
That was all between them...I love them all, they were all the real deal basketball players, not like today's game..I respect Dr. J, Barkley, Bird...
-
Referees dealing with those kids for ages..
-
His name maybe Bird but he got that dog in him 😂😂😂
-
Charles , you WERE holding bird while J was hitting him, stop!
-
Outstanding video 👍🏻
-
Ainge is one of those guys you LOVE to have on your team but HATE to play against. Cracks me up how EVER TIME he talks about these “fights” his eyes light up and his smile gets so big. 😁🤣
-
Only Charles Barkley has trouble pronouncing the word "Larry".
-
When Larry was on there was NO stopping him. I think the man could have gone outside of the building and still made the shot. I watched a video where he shot from the baseline over the backboard and made it -- unreal!!!!!! One of the best ever!!!!!!
-
Excellent excellent excellent video!!!!
-
All in the name of entertainment guys, no one was hurt. Dr. J is great a great man, remember those commercials “Hi I’m Dr. J. But if I was Dr. Erving…..” Larry is a treasure.
-
Larry would go anywhere to tweak the hell out of someone. Dr. J lost it. When I saw this back in the day, it really was shocking. Even the greats can lose their cool. He told Dr. J he needs to retire. Would anyone else have the guts to say that to an NBA legend? Only Larry Bird. Just to emphasize the point, it was a preseason game!?!?!?! They had that amount of animosity toward one another.
