A quirk in Larry Bird’s game is that he loved inbounding the ball. He even told his teammates to let him do all the inbounding if possible. This led to an insane amount of beautiful full court plays.

The white Jokic
Even when Bird got a rebound his teammates were wired to leak out. The moment he touched the ball he was a threat to create an assist from anywhere on the court.
My favorite is the one underneath the basket to Rick Fox. They don’t show the replay here. Just an absurd pass
it’s the little nuances like this that are never brought up in player comparisons, and aren’t tracked in advanced stats, that make the game great. you can’t appreciate stuff like this without ever seeing it.
In a different universe Bird is a 4 time Superbowl champion with the Patriots.
Actually cool to see, nice post
Damn that’s way more of them than I was expecting.
What an awesome compilation. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and for sharing.
Jokic and Kevin Love also good at deep shots. Just something about those 3 guys I can’t put my finger on.
Bird is top 5 for me, people sleep on Larry Legend
Bird’s vision and McHale’s touch is a bananaland combo
Kevin love used to be great at this
My favorite player of all time…
He put up 20p/10r/7a on 47/41/93% in his final season, all on a bad back and having to lie on his stomach whenever he was subbed out (and he still averaged 37MPG).
Bird passing to Reggie Lewis…. what should have been…
Cherry picking merchant
Cool compilation, but love of inbounding isn’t exactly a “quirk.”
“NBA doesn’t play defense like the 80s anymore” lol
Lebron could never
Larry “Kevin Love” Bird
This made me miss Lonzo. This was his specialty too
Tom Bradys’ true father
Bro should have been a quarterback
That’s where KLove learned it from
OK nice video of full court outlets but more than half of these are off of rebounds, I feel misled by the title and now I want to see some side-out plays too.
