Have any of you watch Larry Bird play? Not that impressive...

Being able to sweep baldan during the playoffs twice in a row is not all that impressive?

every post after this was a waste of time.

kids need to shut the f*ck up

The other day I watched a full playoff game between Celtics and Lakers.

Certainly Bird was a great shooter and very fast passer. And like any other great player, he'd have his moments of greatness.

but

He'd have long stretches where he didn't even touch the ball. Like straight up they don't even include him for many possessions. Like he's Caldwell Pope or something. Wth is up with that.

Bruh...

That's how the best players play.. BJ Armstrong mentioned in the documentary that when MJ reached his zenith as a ballplayer, he was just doing things to win the game - that's it - he was letting teammates move the ball and do as much as they could on their own... Then he stepped in if needed to put them over the top or to shift or pile on momentum as needed.. this method still requires a goat production rate, but it's with the optimal TIMING that maximizes chance of victory.. aka why score a bucket that a lesser player could've scored? Why not wait until a critical possession where the best player is actually NEEDED to score?

That's what the best players do.. lesser players like Nash, CP3 and Lebron think they need to make all the plays and pound the rock - they're wrong - their results speak for themselves.. a horrific championship frequency

He is a better version of Lebron.

It's called playing within a system. Him going stretches without getting the ball is a good thing. It means other players are getting lots of touches and more able to get a rythem going. This happens less so in ball dominant systems where everyone else but the ball dominator stands around waiting for him to make a play.

I also suggest people watch this play at 0:42 in this video

How many players can do that play? Can Luka and Jocker do that in 2022?

[Lakers Legend#32]

Magic owned Bird.

Gotta love when jordon extremist alts say that LeBron's isn't eligible for GOAThood because his game is "ugly" and then proceed to say that the guy with this jumpshot form is better:
