Cotton, you too are my ninja, but you have shit for brains in this regard. Bernard King gets schooled today too. Your argument for Birds success today can't be his success against other guys from his era.

Dr J sits the bench in today's game, and that's assuming he even made a team. The guy could jump, that's it. He was heavily marketed by the NBA because of his flashy play. Phone Post

Lil' Wayne - Bird and Stockton are my all-time fav players.

With that said, Bird would get killed into days game. He athletic for the era he played but he gets killed by most bench warmers in today's games. Bird could outshoot anyone today with the exception of MAYBE Ray Allen. Bird never broke anyone's ankles with his dribbling. His passing was good for the time but nothing special today. He couldn't run and couldn't jump. The Advantages he would have are his ability to shoot with a hand in his face and his basketball IQ. Today he would just be a spot shooter, at best.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

gotta disagree, you dont averag 6 assists a game from the forward position and not be a very good passer. that means he always hit the open man and hit them in scoring position. kobe passes out the double team as well but kobe passes to guys where all they can do is pass back when he resets. bird hit guys when they were in position to score. and ou dont think bird couldn't guard guys like haslem or ibaka? spot shooter? in todays game you sag and allow the jumper bird would kill guys and force them to over play the jumper, something many of them have never done in their lives. bird would be a solid 15-20 point a night guy in the league today.

Way over the top trolling, fren. It is successful though because it's getting a lot of others angry so well played.

There is no way you could mean what you are saying.

jct71 - lol at laimbeer being too physical for lebron, sure alot more was let go back then but it goes both ways.
who ever said that, wow, lol. i think a lot of guys just dont realize how strong a guy like lebron is. there's a reason that guys who are bigger then laimbeer was just bounce right off him. there is not a guy in the league period, not dwight howard or anyone who can physically stop lebron in the paint

Serge "iblaka" stopped him last night lol several times

he blocked a shot in help defense. 32 points says he didn't get stopped much. i think the fact that he does this night in and night out has some people jaded to the fact that you are seeing a very special player

No, Bird was passing to a couple of hall of famers who then did their thing with the ball. Phone Post
