Not only that, but while all of the others were trying to ignore and bury MJ, Larry said "Fuck that noise" and made sure that nobody could ignore him by talking about him very chance he got. Even MJ mentions that Bird's spotlighting of him was a positive development since it forced the others to take notice. They couldn't ignore something that was being raved about by one of the two biggest voices in the league at the time.

No question in my mind (YES - I know how stupid this sounds!)

@be who he is, Sorry for the length but people keep repeating the same bad story. Michael never played Bird in the Eastern conference finals. Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson, Bill Walton All Hall of Famers. All except Dennis on the 50/75 NBA team. When Michael entered the NBA, 2 to 3 Celtics made the All-Star team every year (even Danny Ainge). Michael was the only Bulls' representative on the All-Star team before Pippen's 3rd year. Those early Bulls teams were winning 38-42 games. Celtics were winning 60 plus once almost 70 games. Nobody thought those Bulls stood any shot of beating those Celtics teams. Even if Michael believed that, he was delusional. People keep repeating a story stated with no context so it was baseless from the beginning. The early Bulls were must see because of Michael but they weren't any good. Those Celtics teams were legendary.The NBA didn't have a lottery back then. The Bulls were positioned to draft Jordan 3rd in '84 for a reason. They were able to draft & trade at 8th in '87 for Scottie for a reason. They were trash hence 0-6.

JORDAN PLAYED LARRY IN THE PLAYOFFS IN HIS SOPHOMORE YEAR IN THE NBA. THAT WOULD BE 1985! LARRY BIRD AND THE CELTICS WERE THE DEFENDING NBA CHAMPIONS THAT YEAR HAVING WON IT IN JORDAN'S ROOKIE YEAR IN 1984! JORDAN WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BEAT BIRD BECAUSE JORDAN DIDN'T HAVE A TEAM THAT COULD COMPETE WITH THE WORLD CHAMPIONS. WHEN JORDAN DROPPED 63 POINTS ON THE CELTS HE HAD JUST CAME BACK FROM A BROKEN FOOT INJURY WHERE HE MISSED 64 REGULAR SEASON GAMES AND HE STILL DROPPED 63 ON THAT TEAM. TIL THIS DAY THAT RECORD STANDS AS THE MOST POINTS IN AN NBA PLAYOFF GAME! HOW DO YOU EXPECT MICHAEL JORDAN TO BEAT THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS WHEN HE DIDN'T HAVE A TEAM THAT COULD COMPETE WITH THEM? BIRD BEAT MAGIC AND ISIAH THAT YEAR, WHAT CHANCE DID JORDAN, OAKLEY AND ORLANDO WOOLRIDGE HAVE HAVE AGAINST LARRY BIRD, KEVIN MC HALE, DENNIS JOHNSON, DANNY AINGE, RICK CARLISLE(THE GUY STANDING NEXT TO BIRD AS HE TALKS TO MAGIC IN THE LOCKERROOM) BILL WALTON, SAM VINCENT, SCOTT WEDMAN, AND GREG KITE!
