Re: Who's The Dirtiest Player Of All Time???
I just did a google search of "Larry Bird dirty" and I'm not seeing any evidence of this reputation as a dirty player.
I did find this though

Stockton and Mailman deserve a mention. dirtiest duo ever

NBA sixth man of the year
Re: Who's The Dirtiest Player Of All Time???
From what I recall, Laimbeer wasn't the dirtiest. Dirty in a crafty way, like Stockton. I thought the dirtiest player on the Bad Boys was Rick Mahorn

Is this some story that has persisted in minds of LA fans?
Can anyone point me to opposing players or coaches accusing Bird of being dirty?
Yeah.....that's news to me too......Bird was never dirty.....tough yeah, dirty no.
McHale was dirty. Laimbeer has to be the winner here. Maurice Lucas was dirty and that was his job as an enforcer.
Stockton????WTF......he was too little to be dirty.
I wish someone could find the video of Karl Malone knocking out David Robinson cold with his elbow.........that was some real Mike Tyson Sh!t!!!!!!

Can't find it but here's friendly little Johnny Stockton doin work on D-Rob. I also mentioned that duo earlier in the thread - and some other people mentioned them too on this page. When you've got a 6 foot point guard leveling David - The Saint - Robinson, and then complaining to the ref's as if the Admiral was the guy who started it all then you know something's not quite right

The physicality of that era in basketball is so different than today.... I don't think the psyche of new age HS to PRO superstars could handle the kind of abuse dished out back then. It would basically be grown men targeting and abusing the fragile impressionable minds of some 18 and 19 year old teenagers that that were used to being treated like royalty by Nike and McDonald's sponsors in High School.

And I don't see Bird's name. So Bless Mathews are you just trolling or have you heard that Bird was dirty player?
Players whose names I did see on more than one list were Laimbeer, Rodman, Bowen, Malone, Stockton, Reggie Evans and Kobe.

I am reasonably sure Isiah Thomas has him beat in that category.
And major props to the only person here to mention Danny Ainge.

Bird was SUPER dirty , super deceitful dirty which is why I think he is.

Study the game tapes when he s getting in peoples faces , all that "s.h.I.t. talking" was mufuuccas saying "if you elbow me again, I'm gonna knock your white ass out."
