Larry Bird or LeBron James

[Angel Face]

Greater player, greatest SF

[72-10]

Bird is a much better shooter, better passer and better rebounder, won more, is more clutch, and LeBron is an overrated defender, so yeah, Bird

[DoctorP]

Longevity Ill give to Lord Brando

Bird gets peak, clutch, shooting, winning

Bird is the word

Close overall, you could pick either. I prefer Bird because he brought it every night.

LeBron James. He'll double Birds finals mvp by the end of the season.

[Jasper]

tears me up to compare Bird with Bron ,,, Bird had IMO a more competitive era because of the defense that was allowed...

But Bron wins...

[Jasper]

LeBron James. He'll double Birds finals mvp by the end of the season.

This.

It’s actually an insult to Bird to set him up to be disrespected this way. He was obviously great, but everyone looks like a pauper in comparison to the king.

It's close between LeBron and Bird. LeBron has greater athleticism and obviously greater longevity. But when you consider the fact that Bird was basically close to being a 50-40-90 player who could do everything that LeBron does (pass, score, rebound, and defend), it's as if you have a combination of Steph Curry and LeBron in one.

One thing that stands out, though, is that LeBron is also the better playoff performer, which matters. I still give the edge to Bird because I'm not as big on longevity as others are. If Luka gets this much recognition, then imagine Bird in this generation who would bring far better defense, shooting, and rebounding to the table.

Prime Lebron was also the better rebounder.
