Lack of athleticism was an accusation always leveled against Larry Bird, and yet he dominated. For all the supposed athleticism of today's NBA, no one has yet explained to me how and the hell Marc Gasol won Defensive Player of the Year four years ago, and a 36 year old Tim Duncan was all NBA first team just five years ago. Yes height and athleticism are prerequisite in basketball, but basketball is and always will be a skill and mental game for those that truly excel, and Larry Bird was on another level in both aspects. If the 2017 NBA playoffs (Warriors and Cavs excluded) is any indicator of the present level of skill of the above average NBA player, I suggest they get out of the training room and get their asses in the gym, because that's where Larry Bird would be, and yes he would dominate in today's NBA. It would be a clinic.

What you say is true, Bird and his generation value FUNDAMENTALS and SKILL in one's game. Thats why they had longevity and able to stay in the game to become great. Most young players today often rely on athleticism and tend to forget about developing skills. That's why after around their 7th season they'd fall to obscurity because they can't compete anymore because they not as athletic anymore

We were the only team that were keeping the Warriors from having a monopoly on the championship. I also hate that he gets so much love, when he has about as much defensive skill as a wet piece of toilet paper. He couldn’t defend my grandmother 2 hours after she’s had a stroke, but because he played on a stacked team that could hide him on defense, he got to sit in the corner, guarding the worst player on the other team every single night.

Pippen was his only teammate who was an All-Star. Rodman was an All-Star on the Pistons, not the Bulls. Horace Grant was a 1x All-Star. Toni Kukoc and Steve Kerr never made an All-Star team.

I watched every Celtic game with Bird . You have to have seen him play night in and night out to understand how good he was. Bird could score 10 pts for the entire game and still have been the best player on the floor and the difference maker in getting the win. Bird could easily have scored 40 pts a game if he wanted to, or more importantly if he needed to. The competition in the Eastern conference in the 80s was intense, the sixers teams only won one tittle with a team of all stars and some hall of famers. The 80s sixers would destroy today's teams, never mind the has with Wilkins , the bucks, oh, and of course the lakers, who lost to the rockets twice in the west finals..The physical play of the 80s would have these little babies playing today running to their mommies looking for a safe place.

Chef Curry of course! Larry Bird in his prime was not just the best player but also the best leader... Just look at his rookie season! He changed that Boston team from 29 wins the year before to 61 wins! Who does that? As a ROOKIE!!!

Jordan more athletic and a great slam dunker. Lucky to be on the great Bulls tm of the 90's! Every other part of the game ie RB's, assists, shootin in the clutch in the big games, sheer fearless bulldog mentality, best passer the games ever seen and with a doctor telling him he needed to quit playin ball or he'd be in a wheelchair the rest of his life and in 9 pain levels all the time, yet somehow, "The Basketball God" still managed to win 3 Championships and win 3 consec. MVP's! Yeah its "Larry Legend" in a "no contest" vs anybody ever! You don't give a guy a permanent nickname like "Legend" for no reason! All the smart coaches ever all say that if they could pick 1 player from any ERA to build a team around it seems that 90% of em all pick Bird! Hmmm?? He did anything to win accept play dirty or cheat! Even The round mound of Rebound puts Bird in his Top 3! Took Celtics from 29 wins to 61 wins when he got there! What a presence and took no shit off anyone! He was ready to kick Kareems ass one night in the finals! Bet nobody messed w/ him in HS or college!

The NBA probably had more talent collectively in the mid 80s, that is when Bird Dominated the league. 3 straight MVPs. Before the back injury, it was his league. Period. There has never been a better player in a 3 year stretch than his 84-86 years. At his peak he was the best to ever do it.

Let me illustrate Larry Bird's greatness. I'll put it in comic book analogy it goes like this. Jordan is Superman i.e. athleticism and he has his offshoots Kobe, Lebron etc. Magic is the Joker due to the theatricality and showmanship but...... Larry is the fucking Batman cuz he's a genius. Someone make that shirt.
