no smart guy .. it's the exact opposite .. his damn color is precisely why the great larry bird is being dogged in this thread .. because he's white .. therefore he must be slow and inferior
this thread is a classic case of the 'slow white man mentality syndrome' .. 'aw he's white, he must be slow and clumsy footed, he can't do it' .. you make up any scenario involving bird and a black player and they will automatically choose the black player ..
classic example .. the poster 97 bulls saying gerald green would beat up on larry bird .. why do you think he said that ?
.. what they're too stupid to see is that bird played people who were mostly all more athletic than him and he still dominated them .. one on one too .. pippen wouldn't have it so easy 'blowing by' bird .. his quickness is mistakenly being underestimated in this thread
Naw dude, Bird gets overrated because he's white, don't get me wrong, he's an all time great but he is not better than Jordan, Magic, Wilt or KAJ for example.
Bird won 3 titles with that Celtics team, should've won more, Magic spanked Bird 2 out of 3 times...Larry is a legend but he's not the greatest, stop overrating him.
I watched it. Pippen had to chase Bird through a screen. And I don't give a shit about what he (bird) did vs brad sellers.
LOL!!! are you DENYING that Bird hit a turn around over Pippen in the post?? He wasn't chasing Bird when Bird had him pinned for the inevitable 2 points...you are TOO FUNNY dude seriously.

funny you say that because you could argue a lot of black players get overrated because they're black ..
as for overrating him .. who's overrating him ? he's one of the GOAT .. how the fk do you 'overrate' that ? that's like saying 'stop overrating wilt or magic or .. ' .. the fact that you utter such a dumbass comment about overrating him shows your bias against him

Magic Johnson quote on Larry Bird..."Alot of black guys ask me, could Larry Bird really play...i said Man, Larry Bird was so good it's frightening."

Not before he came through a pick and screen. Youve shown almost an hours worth of clips showing bird vs a young bulls team. And most of his scores are off of picks and screens. Only three times did I see bird post anyone up. And most of his scores were on brad sellers.

You idiot...you aren't watching closely dude. I'll let the vids speak for themselves...

DUH dim wit....Bird was declining as well, dealing with age and injury...he made a young Pippen (23 years old) carry his bags....
Oh come off it. If a black guy stinks, he stinks. Look at kwame brown, michael olowankandi, harold "baby jordan" miner. The list goes on and on.
I agree with you .. and when compared with a white player .. more frequently than not those players would be regarded as superior .. everyone knows this .. 'slow white man inferior syndrome' .. so that right there skews your analysis .. it's automatically biased
