You don't think so?.....Hell yeah, Larry Bird is better than Lebron. There is absolutely no question who the greatest forward of all time = Larry Bird hands down. Let me school you.....
Mind you that Larry Bird led an otherwise ordinary Indiana State team to a perfect 33-0 season and the NCAA championship game, while retiring from college as the 5th all time leading scorer
Bird then joined a Celtics squad that had only won 29 games the year prior and led them to the best record in the league (61-21). This is BEFORE McHale & Parish joined the team
Lebron only managed to lead the Cavs to 35 wins in his first season. Bird had a much greater impact on his team's success than James did.
And

you stat-boys aka dikkriders can put away all of your charts. If Larry Bird wanted to score points, there wasn't anybody that could stop him. That's not his game. Bird wanted his TEAM involved in the game, and he made it a point to do just that. Parish and McHale are HOFer's BECAUSE of Bird. They made a living off of Bird being double and triple teamed.
Bird would take Lebron to school if he tried to guard Bird. Just ask Dennis Rodman, who was a better defender than Lebron.
Lebron led the Cavs to the finals by himself? I could have sworn there was 4 other guys on that team. You watch way too much ESPN. And BTW ...the Cavs never had to get past a team as good as the 80's Sixers to make the finals. There are the reasons why LeBron joined up with the superstars in Miami .....you know why.
Parish was a bust when he joined the Celtics. He became a HOFer by playing alongside Bird. He would NEVER have been that great without Bird.
I don't exactly see Lebron turning Ilgauskas into an All Star. He's more concerned with making the ESPN highlight reels in order to appeal to fans like you. That's why he's so "special".
Lebron James is better athletically than Bird so that's why what is made so special about Larry Bird cause he's a better passer, better rebound, better shooter, better defensive, better basketball IQ, better killer instinct, better mentality, etc.
