God only scored 19 points ( 4 in the 2nd half) in the next game..... ...and was swept that series...
Bird was playing mind games.....or he's an atheist

During breaks in games, Jordan has been wandering over to the scorer`s table to get updates on how many rebounds, assists and points he needs to fill his three double-figure quotas.
"The guys at the scorer`s desk let me know what I need," he said. "They tell me, `You need three assists; you need two rebounds."

I do kinda agree with the premise of this thread: Bird was the definition of a selfless team player, a moniker which is often (most unjustly) given to Lebron just because he's a forwards that averages assists.
In reality: the difference between the two, and their respective approaches to the game, couldn't be more different. Jordan was similar too - he was just a good bit better than Bron.

What game was this from?
What was the score at the time?
What was LeBron's line when looking at that?
What quarter was it?
Where on that paper says or can been seen that it's the teams stat sheet for the night?

Also, at some point, said that Magic was the best he's ever seen.
Also, at some point, said that King was the best forward in the league.
Also, at some point, said that Dominique should've won MVP instead of him.
Also, at some point, said that DJ was the best he ever played with (while the majority of "outsiders" wouldn't agree).
Also, at some point, said that Wilt was the GOAT when you look at the records book.
...
Bird always has lots of praise, lots of nice words towards great basketball players, no matter what... when the subject isn't about on who beats who, at least...
On the court though? Dude was a ruthless, cold-blooded killer who did what had to be done in order to get the W, who didn't back down from no one, and the win was all that mattered to him.
Oh, and on the court, he would talk shit like no one else

And obviously the OP doesn't know which Knick game, what the circumstances of the game was, what quarter it was or the score, what that paper says etc..etc...
He just assuming James is looking at a stat sheet to try to pad his stats.
It's not like he's nut slappin' a jumpshooter while sticking his foot underneath the shooters foot to come down on or making fun of cancer patients like his boy KG did.

It is what it is
Re: Bird will always have more respect from tru hoopheads than MJ/Bran, no statpadding
Bird has stat padded, don't be silly.
He has admitted many times before that he and Magic used to check each other's stats on a daily basis to see what they had to get to get a leg up on the other guy.
If you don't think that had absolutely no influence on how they played (being so conscious of your main MVP rival) then you're dumber than I thought, OP.

The nostalgia is strong with some people. They fear players of their era will be forgotten and are being underrated and instead of being objective decide to offset it by overrating and exaggerating. Magic and Bird in particular are two guys I feel 80's guys will NEVER let go of. We could have 10 Michael Jordan's enter the league and they will STILL say "well they're not better than Bird/Magic". And now come Lebron/Kobe who imo are right up there with those two.

All I'm saying is that there no such thing as a player who has never statpadded ever.
Some rarely do it while some do it on the regular, but everyone is conscious of their production.
