He wasn't the better scorer though, that's the thing. lulz at a sub~44% shooter in the postseason being a better scorer than Bird.

Bird wouldn't be "the man" either if he played with prime Shaq. Just saying.
And in before 32dayz says that Pau Gasol was the best player on the 2010 Lakers even though he was a very clear B/second option.

1. Kobe doesnt shoot below 44% in the playoffs
2. Kobe takes way more 3 pointers than Bird

I argue against Kobe
Re: Starting a Team - Larry Bird or Kobe Bryant
Prime Bird in the playoffs was putting up 27ppg on 60+% TS and this was way before the new sissy hand check rules were put into place to make it easier for perimeter players like Kobe to be efficient.
Kobe's Career TS% in the Playoffs before the new
Sissy Hand-Check rules = .516%
Bird was a much better scorer.
Like RRR said Bird was a team oriented player who could destroy teams with his passing and didn't need to score 30 a night to absolutely kill teams.

Different ERA, less 3PT. Kinda like the differences in physicality.
45%, Whoop dee f*cking doo. Point is he is far from being better and far from being 'unstoppable'. It's pathethic that this is even a comparison when you factor in Bird's playmaking duties on offense.

Re: Starting a Team - Larry Bird or Kobe Bryant
Decision Making, Passing, BBIQ are all part of scoring and Bird has an enormous edge over Kobe in all of those areas.
Kobe's Average Playoff TS% before the new hand-check rules
is .516%
He could have never sniffed Birds level of efficiency back then as evidenced by how he performed prior to 05.
Bird is the better scorer and its really not debatable.
