Bird
30.3 points 7.9 assists 12.5 rebounds 2.2 steals 1.0 blocks

Not only does LeBron already put up much better stats than Bird but when you look at it in terms of per 100 possessions the difference is even greater. LeBron is statistically an entire tier above Bird.

Re: LeBron vs Bird argument officially destroyed
Lebron is Better Than 88-92 Bird NOT HEALTHY 79-87 Bird.

Dubeta, Jeff might ban you. You need to calm down until the start of the 2016 NBA Playoffs.

Stop comparing Larry Legend to this flopping Beta.
Bird was a deadly shooter, LeBron can't see the rim beyond 5ft.

Bron is a better basketball player. I don't know how you, out of all people are saying otherwise, considering nearly all of your analysis on players is purely from a statistical standpoint on here.
He just is. He does everything Bird does, but better, outside of rebounding.
He scores more, he is a better passer, better defender, better two way player, etc.
Larry Bird and Earl Monroe were my damn heroes when it came to basketball, who I have countless tapes of, and plenty of footage of, yet I'm not ignorant enough to think that either of them are better than Bron.
Given they have 10 games in a series, I'm sure Bird outplays him 3-5 times himself, but at the end of the day, Bron is a better player. He puts up better stats, playing a similar style of ball, with similar strengths, in a less stat inflated era. Not to mention he is a far more dynamic player on defense, and probably on offense too, which says a lot given how multi faceted Bird was.

Bird doesn't play basketball any "smarter" than most all time greats.
He was just dirty, tactical and aware of what he could get away with. Much in the same way that Stockton or Payton were "smart" players.

Re: LeBron vs Bird argument officially destroyed
The facts are, statistically Lebron stands up with anyone, including Jordan
Jordan is 40/8/7 on 30 shots per 100 possessions
Lebron is 37/9/9 on 24 shots per 100 possessions

Bran is as soft as tissue paper. Bird is far better. Continue letting that tear you up inside.

Yet Bird could barely play for more than a decade before succumbing to injuries whereas Lebron has rarely if ever missed any games, while also playing an extra 179 playoff game over the span of 9 years
