Boston Celtics Hall of Fame forward Larry Bird's best highlights: Volume IV

While we have not seen too much yet of the legendary counterpart to Los Angeles Lakers icon Earvin “Magic” Johnson in the hit HBO NBA basketball series “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” Boston Celtics Hall of Fame small forward Larry Joe Bird plays an important foil to the Los Angeles title teams of the 1980s. Better known as the ‘Showtime” Lakers, the team joined the Celtics, through the on-court wizardry of Magic and Bird, to help revitalize a moribund NBA in the early 1980s.

With many younger Boston fans becoming aware of that era of play and the Celtics’ own titles teams of that decade, it behooves us to share more highlights of Larry Legend and his play with the Boston teams from that era.

And NBC Boston Sports has put out the best of Bird’s highlights, with ep. IV below.

Check out the clip embedded above for the first installment of the Hick From French Lick’s (as Bird was lovingly called) best plays, whether you’re just getting to know Larry’s game or know it like the back of your hand.
