Mike Gorman: I want ball in Pierce's hands than Bird

[Blue&Orange]

I believe Pierce is a better player than Bird.

I believe this is the 5.006 time you should have said nothing.

So when it comes down to who's the athlete: Bird = Pierce?


You gotta be retarded if you think they are = in terms of athleticism.

You guys on ISH always preaching that old school is less athletic than new school but some how Pierce and Bird are equal.

Have you watched them play?

They're both below average for pro athletes in speed, and leaping ability. They both compensate for it with quick shots, falling away. Bird usually caught the ball on the move, and attacked fast. Pierce is a better ballhandler, and creates his own shots. Neither could rely on their speed to break down the defense, but they both occasionally froze defenders with a pump fake, and got a step on them. If Pierce jumps an inch or two higher, Bird makes up for it by being a few inches longer.

I have.

Pierce got that slow deceptive old black speed while Bird on the other hand is just plain out white guy slow.

No disrespect to white people.

Pierce just got a lazy game. He only does what he needs to without exerting a bunch of energy.

Do you want him to jump his highest or run his fastest on every play? That's a waste of energy.

I forgot about that perfect correlation between melanin, and athleticism, my bad. Pierce's deceptive old black man game had me deceived.

He probably meant to say he wanted Pierce to have the ball in his hands so he could pass the ball to Bird.

Honestly, I might take Pierce over anyone since Jordan in a "get me a bucket for the win" type of situation.

Another nod to Pierce.

After Jordan my choice would be Melo

Reggie Miller,Ray Allen,Chris Paul,D Wade,
Durant

are players over Pierce in a get me a bucket for the win
for starters

If anything though
Chalmers,Rudy,Tyreke would also be good options
for long shots or end of clock

Chalmers with his end of clock buzzer beating
half court 3s,
Rudy with beating the Raps,Heat,Nets

Tyreke with the Greatest Buzzer Beater of All Time
Down with 0.4 sec left,
Absolutely destroys the Grizz with an almost 3/4 length
3

Greatest commentary and crowd reaction ever,
In less than a sec

Pierce at his best wasn't anywhere near Bird at his best. This is a stupid comparison. OP either just likes attention or really doesn't know much history.

[ProfessorMurder]

Gorman has either hit the point of senility or he's just paying tribute to Pierce for what he did the last 10+ years (even if it's not true).

Everyone knows Bird is arguably the most clutch player ever.

Bird missed a lot too.

[Jameerthefear]

Pierce isn't even on the same level as Bird.
