Article: Larry Bird Was Better Than LeBron

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Lebrons early career was awesome in number and the eye test I agree, he's a once a lifetime all-time player. But the dude Bird LEAD his team to a Ring in his 2nd year(even though Maxwell won finals MVP) while McHale and Parrish were role players ( 1st and 2nd yrs in NBA).

Parrish was in his fifth season and he wasn't a role player. He was their most important defensive piece and was by far the main reason why they had one of the best defenses in the league. Shut down the paint all throughout the playoffs and shut down Moses in the Finals too.

these guys were not better athletes and are fukk'n tiny as hell compared to back in the day.
these new nikkaz are not that big, like that.

GTFOH nikka.

Larry Bird just a better overall player than LeBron.

 

[Maschine_Man]

Pretend that Lebron doesn't play in a league with far better athletes brehs.

Pretend that Jerry West would dominate Stephen Curry because "the good Ol days" brehs.

Pretend they aren't judged in relation to their contemporaries breh.

It's all relative breh

Was Lebron really that much more than Dominique to say that his athleticism would have him averaging 40?

More basket-ball minded yes... If Dominique was in today.. Maybe hé would be lebron or slighty inferior


Today sport is a science... Back then its was research

 

[Surreal]

I saw Bird play in his prime. Bron not seeing him

Nique was a better skillplayer and able to execute better than bron.
Plus bron, wilts in big moments and will not impose his will and become a jump shooter.
When he is the player who physically can get to the basket at will and does not.
Nique was dunking on you, and bringing thunder any and at all times.
Bron sulks like a baby and will quit.
Even grant hill was a better skill player before injury as well.
Plus ramped higher than bron.
While bron will defer and won't commit to the high quality high IQ brand of basketball to be a winner.
Nor, will he develop a real post game and actually use it to open up other components of his perimeter game.
On top of shirking leadership by not playing his natural.
Nique never shirked on playing and never gave up on the hawks.

Prime Bron much better than Prime Bird, Career wise it's still a toss up imo

 

[Surreal]

Jordan was 0-6 in playoff games against the Bird-led Celtics and was the GOAT

 

[Art Barr]

THIS is the difference maker. The article completely ignored defense. Offensively they are neck and neck. Maybe Bird gets a slight edge. Defensively, no contest. Bron in a landslide. Advantage LeBron.

Bron is not a better defender than bird.
Bron is the best pursuit player in the league.
Yet, bird was arguably the best clutch defender and clutch difference maker in NBA history.
Not to mention,bird never gave up and bron gave up against a clearly inferior big three.
That incomparison to birds' celts was nowhere near as good as the bird celt's at all.

All this bird was monot athletic and naysaying is stigma bullshyt.
That after you get rid of the emotion you dispensed rooting against bird.
As bird is the best real life villain in the history of television, EVER.
you have to be honest and stop ignoring what bird was.
Like literally just mentally if you had a huff ass team playing in Boston.
Given the refs and the Boston garden.
Your visiting team may have never scored in the garden.
Like literally if we took any bron team out the time machine inot the garden.
Just off the ac being " Supposedly broke".
Bron would have cramped up and mentally wilted and got blown out by sixty.



Art Barr

Bron is a complete mental midget to bird just for starters

 

[Art Barr]

Jordan was 0-6 in playoff games against the Bird-led Celtics and was the GOAT

I saw two of those games in the off's both disgraceful losses, too.
Even tho mj lit it up.
I don't see bron lighting it up like mj did against the celt's and I see him getting at most.
barely seventeen points on a mentally drained and frustrated low shooting percentage and hella mental turnover.
Plus, bron does not have players.
who mentally can will themselves and bron can not fortify a unit at all.
So, the whipping the heat and the cavs would have gotten by the Celtics.
would have been systematic like they did mentally deficient teams with no real high bball IQ led leader.



Art Barr

Bird and them was whipping the sixers with Malone, Dr j and Charles.
Bird and them was whipping the dream and a SAMPSON.
bird and them was whipping the cavs with price, daughtery, Ron, Nance.
Bird and them was owning the Lakers and it was so bleak till the magic sky hook.
Like magic had to go to Kareem trademark and the greatest last second shot in black history, EVER.

Brons also not a deadbeat dad..so he better..

 

[Goatpoacher]

Bron is not a better defender than bird.

I don't remember ever disagreeing with you on any issue in the last 30 years... but this is so wrong. Bird's lack of defensive ability was a running joke.

I also find it hilarious that people give Bird full credit for winning with a ridiculously talented team. How many of his teammates are in the HOF?

 

[sfgiants]

That ain't what I asked you.
Your knock on Bird is he "played with Hall of fukking famers".

LeBron played with Shaq. And we know Wade is goin' in. Bosh might, too. So what are you saying, Todd?

It's time to come up, put your dollar bills in the air
They said meet me at the White House and I was there
