MickColins -  "Bird saved the nba and made it great. Fuck jordan..."

Bird and Jordan are probably extremely similar when it comes to competition. They'd both smash your nuts and cut your throat to win. The big difference is Bird is a great GM where as Jordan couldn't pick players for shit. Don't poop on Jordan, he and Bird got along.

also Bird swept Jordan twice in the playoffs.

Bird swept Jordan in the playoffs with two hall of famers on his team and before the Bulls hit their prime. Phone Post

Skill in playing the game matters more than athleticism alone.

It's like people who said Kevin Durant was too skinny and weak coming out of college...who gives a sh*t as long as he can ball.

Ranman - In the Magic/Bird documentray on HBO, a black player was telling a story how they were calling Bird white boy and clowning him and then Bird hit a shot in his face and then Bird responded by saying something like "take that ni@@er". Lol
I think it was, "Nice defense, n*****" Phone Post

  
Why dont you just type "nigger"? Youre only quoting somebody, not calling somebody it. People seem to be so scared of that word in america.. I have a couple of black friends that i call niggers all the time. Phone Post

Chorizo - 
dustin dustin - Technically all forums are dedicated to the greatness that is larry bird. Therefore, the wfa can't apply.

Bird saved the nba and made it great. Fuck jordan...


Bird saved the NBA? Magic owned him, in college and the pros. They both took the NBA to a new level, and Jordan took it even further.

Bird and Magic saved the NBA with their Rivalry.


Magic Did beat him and was a more well rounded player.

Bird was a better Shooter.


That rivalry is what sports is all about though. Honestly. Two guys who respect but want to kill each other when they play. Now the players just join forces its fucked up.

from the Dream Team documentary thread

On Larry Bird:

McIntyre: I had about eighty basketballs in my room in Barcelona and had to get the players to sign them all. Bird was the last guy, and he says, "What's the quickest anyone's done it?" I said, "Anywhere from eight minutes to twenty." And Bird said, "I'm going to be the fastest. Time me." So he signs them, and he throws me the last one: "Okay, what is it?" "Whoa, four and a half minutes!" And he goes, "Yes!" Competitive right to the end.

Been playing alot of 2k12 lately. There's a legends mode with 15 old schoolers. When you play with Bird the commentators mention his trash talk and even mention Reggie Miller. Phone Post

As was mentioned earlier, the idea of Bird being unathletic was a myth. In his prime he was quick, agile, and strong. Guys like Nowitzki, Kevin Love, and Gasol wish they were the athletes that prime Bird was.

Dont lump Kevin Love in with Dirk and Gasol. They arent the same kind of players. Kevin Love is a traditional four who happens to have three point range, the other two put together still arent half the rebounder Love is.

They had to make them longer because Patrick Ewing's dick was longer than his shorts. Phone Post

If Bird didn't have chronic back problems, he would be a serious contender for the GOAT
