    Default If Larry Bird was lucky enough to face MJ every playoffs...

    Larry Bird is 6-0 versus Jordan in the playoffs. Waxed that azz each and every time. But what if Bird was lucky enough to face MJ every single year in the playoffs, would it be sweep after sweep?

    Did Bird treat MJ like LBJ treated DeMar

    When MJ got 1 all-star, he waxed the team that waxed bird/magic - a team that had way more all-stars

    If MJ had an all-star from his rookie year, him and bird would've fought to the death to make the Finals every year.. I give the edge to MJ

    even though his brand of ball wasn't quite as good as bird's, it wasn't too far off that his dominance wouldn't adequately offset..

    MJ was never taught a basketball lesson like lebron was by old men in 2014.. mj's lottery cast in 86' played the Celtics closer than lebron's champion super-team played the geriatric spurs in 14'

    If Bird was playing a MJ without an allstar or one that coming off a broken leg then yeah. But from 1988-1992 what would have happened to Bird?

    Like saying what would happen to Lebron playing against Carlos Arroyo every year in the olympics.

    Lebron was losing in his prime when he was supposedly the best to far inferior players. Duncan only lost to guys who could be considered his equal in his prime.

    My guy. Seriously. Enough is enough.



    Four MJ topics created in less than two hours??? What is wrong in your head boy??


    You really can't think of anything or anyone else to discuss? The man has been retired for 16 years!!?? Probably longer or close to how long you have been alive and you been obsessing over him for an unhealthy period of time under this account.



    Its gotta be tiresome for you to keep up this shtick so the dedication you have is extraordinary but why not put it to use in something productive in your life?
