All y'all acting like Larry wouldn't dominate in this era, just look at those shots. Larry's defenders easily force him into tough shots, but he makes them anyway. He just makes them.

Dude's got every trick in the bag, the fadeaway, the turnaround, various fakes, the hook, the floater, the scooper, the up and under, the spin, the drive, the drop step, the shimmy and double pivot, the touch around the basket, the using of both hands...
Better post game than any player right now, big man included

Bird would flat out dominate and destroy in any era

Bird`s 2nd Most Underrated Aspect is his Post Game after Defense (Great Team and Post Defender). Bird Had All The Moves in the Book, Infact He Was a Creator of Many of the Modern Moves In Today`s Game
Bird said that he would play PF more in this era. He would abuse the post because it got less physical.
But yeah, superstars like Bird would be epic in any era. He might've been a bit better in this era in terms longevity because of the advance training and health system. It would be fun watching him play in this era. It would be a better version of Dirk. Bird is probably the best all around player in the 80s, and one of the best all around players in NBA history.
There are a lot of players that I would like to see play in this era. Like Mchale. I would love to see Mchale vs Gasol and Howard.
If Bird had Above Average Athleticism...He Would Have Been The Best Player Ever By a Large Margin...Cause He Could Do It All at a Good & Great Level With Average Athleticism
