about Larry Bird

[Shadow King]

Because they don't want Bird to be the GOAT small forward, so too many people downplay his greatness. The boy was a savage, check the stats. And I'm far from a Bird fan.

Who is they? Bird has been called the GOAT SF by most hoops fans until maybe 2 years ago.

In 79 the celtics won 29 games
In 80 they won 61, Kevin mchale was still playing college ball in minny and chief was in golden state
A rookie bird averaged 21 points(team leading) 10 boards(team leading) and 4.5 assist with his next best players being a past prime archibald a few years removed from acl injury a 14 and 8 Dave cobwebs and Cedric maxwell don't get it twisted bird was that dude saying he was just a good player on a superteam is bullshyt

The Celtics eventually became though

Bird sonned Jordan in the playoffs. Repeatedly.:LarryLegend:

Think about that.

 

[SunZoo]

Bird > Bron.

 

[bucks3115]

Bird > Bron.

 

[SunZoo]

Not at all.

And don't come at me with no advanced stats. Bron got that work from Dirk and a bunch of role players. As ill as Dirk is, he has a fraction of the impact on the game that Larry Legend had...you put him in a league where the 3 is a much more viable weapon and practiced shot, Bron wouldn't want any smoke.

When they talking about clutch

They said MJ KOBE IVERSON AND OTHER

why they dnt mention Larry Bird , this guy was a serial killer

After watching that 30 for 30 lakers- boston

I start asking myself why they dnt mention larry when its come to clutch player

Who are these people mentioning Iverson before Bird in this context?

other than that, I agree that larry's clutchness is so underrated.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Its 40-50 players better than Larry in the history of the NBA

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Larry bird is overrated.

you don't need to bring advanced stats lol simple things like athleticism and longevity is what puts Bron on another level than bird

you said put bird in todays era and he would practice 3pt shot and everything and become a more lethal player

how about we put bron in 80s era where he would terorize the league as there was literally no one built like bron outchea in the era where zone defense was not allowed. I would love to see who would be defending him one on one but let me guess 80s was a macho era where nikkas would use machete's for defense and no one from todays era would survive the 80s
