He'd vote for Wilt as number 1 anyday. He pretends Wilt is tied with MJ, Russell, and Magic. But deep inside those guys are just number 2+. He tries to mask his bias but its all too clear really. I'd respect him more if he just comes out and admit his bias and stop pretending.

Wilt.
Storyline aside, what Larry Bird has done in his career is far easier to surpass and you could argue that it is in fact being surpassed right now.

I would say it's justified.
Magic is basically the Russell of offense (no coincidence that he's arguably the greatest winner after Russell). Put him on a basketball court and suddenly his team will be scoring like crazy.

Larry Bird - Arguably the greatest game 7 performer in NBA history.
Wilt Chamberlain - Lost back to back to back game 7s in '68, '69 & '70.
I can understand anyone taking Wilt over Bird in a ranking like this, simply because the totatilty of his career was a little better than Birds, who had an inconsistent first 4 years and an injury ridden last 4.
However, I'm taking a prime Larry Bird over a prime Chamberlain all day, every day, and 33 times on Sunday. And, to me, that's enough to give him the slight edge.
My vote goes to Larry Bird.
