Larry Bird had plenty of nights to remember during his legendary NBA career with the Boston Celtics. The night he dropped 60 points against the Atlanta Hawks in 1985 has gone down as perhaps his best performance ever, and the highlights of the contest are just as nasty and over-the-top 35 years later.

Bird drilled essentially every shot he took, and you can see the Hawks bench just wither away every time the ball goes through the basket. There is just nothing one can do when watching a star play his best.

Younger basketball fans may not know just how great Bird was in his prime. The video of him taking down the Hawks and the reactions from the announcer, fans, and fellow players tells the whole story.

And by the way, who is that recognizable announcer voice? John Sterling, longtime voice of the New York Yankees, of course!

Bird is now 63 years old, but those highlights will never get old. He was one of the most dominant players in NBA history and was part of one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports with Magic Johnson. A rivalry that spans the collegiate and professional ranks is something special.
