Have slow twitch fiber/dad bod Luka and Jokic changed your opinion on what Larry Bird would do in today’s league?

[beenz]

Larry Birds game translates to any era. Him and Luka have a similar mentality/mean streak that also translates. Drew League, Rucker, NBA. Wouldn't matter

larry bird would have no problem going to the hood, lighting everyone up while talking hella shyt the entire time.

 

[Torrential]

This dweeb ass coli dudes really think 80 and 90s players wouldn’t match or exceed production if they were given carte Blanche to shoot 12 threes a game

 

[Max Power]

LeGBT been trying to hype up this era like it's planet Krypton or some shyt.

LeBron's era has been written, everybody ate, losing finals record, miserable players, angry fans and Balkans that don't even take the sport seriously dominating.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Yes.

Changed is probably not the best word, as I already believed he would still be a star…but maybe further solidified that opinion.

[BrehWyatt]

No. I figured Larry Bird would be a hall of famer in most any era.

 

[FS4LFE]

No one logical has ever said Larry wouldn’t cook in this era. Y’all just making up things to shyt on the current era.

 

[CHICAGO]

When the Warriors run was beginning, there were A LOT of people saying Bird would be too slow footed to play in the modern league, which was stupid.

Now the same people gonna rewrite history and pretend like it was always about being skilled

DURING THAT SAME TIME
THEY SAID SHAQ WOULD BE
TOO SLOW FOOTED TO PLAY
IN THIS ERA WHILE
PAO GASOL AND ZAZA PACHUIAH
WERE THE STARTING CENTERS
IN THE WCF

[Diondon]

Larry still Top 10
Aint nothing changed

 

[get these nets]

We called BS on all the "most athletic era ever and old players couldn't cut it now" dummy threads and posts over the years.
Should bump them to see exactly who saying that silly shyt.

 

[duncanthetall]

Larry would be cooking the absolute shyt outta these nikkas today

 

[Rekkapryde]

No. Larry was one of the nastiest players to ever touch a basketball court. Would be great in any era.

With modern offensive spacing/medicine/training, he'd be even better.

Yeah, there's certain guys that would beast regardless of the era.

 

[JA_Carter]

Prime Bird would be the best player in the league right now. He’s a more agile and better defensive version of Jokic

 

[Still Benefited]

It makes all the "players too fast now,players too athletic now" post look funny in the light?


Always seemed suspect to me anyway. This aint the nfl where guys are running their full speed. You can only run so fast while dribbling a basketball stupid. Even with the ridiculous ammount of leeway for traveling these days


Having the handle that allows you to maintain dribble while running super fast is what matters,not the speed itself. And the handle is a skillset.

And backpeddling,while being comprimised by picks,plus overcommitting based on a fake or handle seriously limits how much your speed matters on defense. Its proving how much watching film,knowing your opponent and skills mattered.

 

[Guile]

He would have better nutrition and training. Think of a smaller more athletic slightly worse shooting but way more skilled Dirk.
