Being how Bird was a 13 year pro when he retired, and LeBron is now a 13 year pro,
we can closely examine both players body of work.



Larry Bird career averages:
24.3PPG 6.3APG 10.0RPG 1.7SPG 0.8BPG
.496 FG% .376 3PT% .886 FT% (rounded up 50/38/89)

LeBron James career averages:
27.2PPG 6.9APG 7.2RPG 1.7SPG 0.8BPG
.498 FG% .340 3PT% .744 FT% (rounded up 50/34/74)

While LeBrons ppg seems way more impressive than Birds,
its a product of volume as he attempted 2,226 more 3 pointers and 3,750 more Free throws. *

*Bird does beat him in 2 point attempts by 101 attempts.

and while LeBron scored 5,042 more points than Bird did, it is because he actually played a whole extra season+ than bird, playing in 90 more games, and totaling 4,035 more minutes than Bird.


Bird won the MVP in 3 Consecutive years, and is also a 3x Champion and as a rookie helped his team make a 32 game turnaround and get the 1st seed in the conference. (LeBron was 18 game turnaround and no playoffs)



































First thing we gon see is beat a 70 win team :russell:
