(As long as your tape hasn't been sitting in the basement for years and that one part is fuzzy.) NBA fans from New Hampshire to Virginia are sure to appreciate this one-of a kind video.

A stunning portrayal of Larry's humble journey from the tiny French Lick to basketball stardom, this video shows the greatness of the best player ever - even if bocce is your favorite sport, you will instantly fall in love with Larry.

This is one of the best sports doccumentaries I have ever seen, and the best NBA video I have viewed. It seems that an hour is not enough to recap the great career of Larry Bird. Unfortunately this film was made in 1991, so his final season and Olympic experience was not covered in this video. I also feel that it could have gone in more detial over certain events in his career. However, it is an amazing film which makes you believe that Larry legend is truely a miracle worker. This film tells it like it is, and is a good pick for any Celtic, Bird or Magic fan. Watch it.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the legacy of Larry Bird, this is the film for you! Some of his greatest achievements and highlights are on tape for all to see and is guaranteed to amaze you, from his high school days to his NBA championship teams. His road to basketball stardom is nothing short of inspiring and touching, which simply adds more depth to the legend of Larry Bird. See how Larry Bird revitalized a once dying NBA, into the NBA as we know and love today. Simply, Larry Bird is a legend!

This video just goes to show that Larry Bird is indeed the greatest basketball player of all time. His uncanny ability to dominate a game without even shooting the ball, or scoring 50 points, or registering one of his many triple-doubles to help the Celtics win. He could raise the level of the players around him. He wasn't blessed with great athletic ability, but made the most with what he had by his sheer determination. His overcoming so many stikes against him to succeed should encourage anyone. Michael Jordan might have scored a lot of points, but Bird was the greatest all around player. He averaged 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists over his 13 year career. This video is a must have for any Celtics/Bird fan.

I still can't figure out why the
NBA nutcases always want to push
'Tragic' (overrated) Johnson into
every Bird video. I really could
not give a turkey that Johnson &
Mich. St. beat Bird in that damn
NCAA Final. Also, so the Lakers
were a better team than the Cel-
tics (barely!) in the '80's. John-
son had very little to do with it!
Besides, James Worthy, Jordan's old
mate from N.C. was the real leader
of that Lakers Champ team(s) anyway!
Not Alcinder, either! Rock on Larry!

I absolutely loved this video. I debated keeping our VCR, even though this was the only VHS I have. Absolutely incredible, narrarated like a Wonder Years episode, this video is a must for young kids growing up, and those of us a little older who still appreciate the old days.
