Larry Bird Will End Up As Only The 3rd Best SF Ever

[Cold soul]

Lebron will surpass Bird soon enough but I highly doubt Durant does. It's most likely Durant ends up 3rd greatest SF of all-time which ain't too bad.

[Blue&Orange]

So Robert Horry is the best player ever? Next time you make a post see if your logic for that comment extends to other players outside of just LeBron. If it still makes sense, proceed. If it doesn't shut up because you are a moron.

This is hilarious coming from a guy that talks about accolades. 7 ring biatch


Lebron isn't nor will ever be a better basketball player than Bird, anyone with a brain know this, not even close, now if idiots what to rank him higher because of his accolades, which right now resumes to biggest choke job in the history of the finals, sitting himself on the bench with fake cramps after air balling while his teamates and the refs carried him, and Ray Allen big shot, go for it.


And don't know about Durant passing Bird, but i'm pretty sure if Lebron ever makes the top10, Durant might the one kicking him out of it.

So Fish/Horry are better too?

This is about LeBron and Bird... not Horry and Fisher.

Who would you rather take the last shot - LeBron or Bird?

Of course Bird and that is why he'll forever be ahead of LeBron in the alltime SF list. They both have MVPs, FMVPs, rings, etc and so clutchness is the only thing that separates who's ahead of who.

You forgot about Giannis.

In a few years Giannis will be a 7 foot point-center-forward-guard. Basically positionless.

Point stands that being more clutch than somebody else isn't the deciding factor on who's better. If Lebron has more rings, MVP's, better numbers he will be considered better clutch or not.

I'm happy to be a fan of Bird, the better player, in my opinion.

I know Lebron is due to pass him in term of accolades though. But, Bird had more toughness, coldbloodedness and heart. He was a badass....a bit moreso that LeBron.

Agreed. Lebron still has a ways to go before he is better than Bird.

Essentially what people are getting at without explicitly saying is Larry Bird's brain in LeBron's body is better than Larry Bird. But that's not how it works, and Bird is better as of now.

I would not give Fisher or Horry the ball with 10 seconds to go. How often did they create that clutch shot out of nothing? As flawed as Lebron can be in the clutch, he's infinitely more reliable than two guys who can barely create for themselves.

[Lebron23]

Bird was a better defender. I don't see what the question is with that. And the stats are really, really close. You want to believe LeBron just blows Bird out of the water when he just doesn't. Wait until LeBron's career is over to make this claim because all you're gonna do is get angry when you can't state one thing that vastly separates the two.

At age 29 Lebron already has more All NBA Defensive team than Bird. Lebron with 3 Finals MVP and another MVP this is no longer a worthy comparison RG.

Eh, LeBron will play for a longer time. Larry played in such a brutal era, his body collapsed, and after he went to 4 straight NBA Finals, he lost his prime form. So leave career milestones out of it, go by averages. LeBron was a better scorer in his CLE days, barely better in his MIA days.

Bird was a better rebounder, LeBron is a better assist guy, their passing abilities are dang close. Bird was a better defender etc.... Let LeBron finish his career though.

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and i thought i have seen it all. truly remarkable the moronic things said on an internet message board.

[Keno]

and bird was the "better" rebounder because of the pace back then. it was way faster than it is today and there was very minimal defence being played.
