Bird would be ridiculous in today's cupcake, no defense league. With the spacing, no hand check rule, shooting more three's, his mind games.... he would dominate. Looking forward to the rest of the series about the best SF of all time!!
He dominated THEN.
@@fridaylong2812 With all the evidence today, this is still a thing?? I meen. There are still trollers like You out there? We have all the vids, and level-headed people who can back it all up. Even the best players of the time? It's ridiculous. 🤨
Also, there’s so much better equipment now, especially in footwear. That has got to add years to these guys careers.
Watch "Larry Bird greatest passer (re-edit)". It might help you decide between Larry and KD (and Lebron, etc, etc).
Jordan said to people who doubted Larry's greatness: "You guys don't get it; Larry is by far the greatest small forward that has ever played the game." And Jordan knows first hand because he played against him many times in the Eastern conference. His Bull's regular season record against Larry's Celtics is 11-17, and 0-6 in the playoffs. His Bulls got swept twice in the playoffs! In one game Jordan dropped 63 points on the Celtics and still lost in double over time. That was the same game where, after the game, Larry said "it was as if God came down in the form of Michael Jordan", so the respect went both ways.
KD can't pass like Bird could. Larry's IQ is off the charts and the greats know it as well.
I don't get why people even try to compare the 2 players, Larry was better in almost every single, if not literally every single way.
@@PersonalStayOut Some people think Larry was not good one defense, but the records show otherwise.
Bird was a much better rebounder and passer than KD. Birds 🏀iQ and clutch levels were/are possibly the best in league history.
But the biggest difference that I’ve noticed between the 2 players (and I started watching NBA in 1982 so I got to see a decade of live Larry Bird) ..... the biggest difference between Bird and KD is the heart, will, motivation and leadership.
Bird would give up points because he understood the importance of getting his teammates involved. Working as a team. Contributing to help raise a teammates confidence level within themselves and confidence in Larry... knowing that if they get themselves in certain positions Bird WILL get them the ball. No words needed, just practice and repetitive playing. Those teammates confidence and knowledge would raise not just for a game or a season, but for their entire career. Thinking about Mchale, Chief and maybe Ainge. Then as a result those guys end up contributing to the franchise and winning rings.
KD on the other hand.... just the opposite. He jumps ship from a talent filled annual contender in OKC and he signs with the Warriors. That’s not low character, that’s NO character. Can you imagine Bird in 1983 after two consecutive Eastern conf finals to Philly whining around about KC Jones, McHale, Parish etc then in the off season getting himself traded to the 76ers or Lakers to join DrJ and Moses?? Or Magic and Kareem??
He definitely wouldn’t be known as “Larry Legend” like he is today.
Maybe “Larry the 🐍 or 🪱 “ or “Larry the PUNK” or “Larry Leaver”.
Also KD is making 10 - 12 X what Larry or Magic made as they were literally saving the league and setting things up for future players to make the 💰💰💰💰💰💰 they do today.
When was the last time you saw KD diving for a loose ball or scrapping for a rebound ? Tying up for a jump ball ?
Never.
Who is the better player between Bird and KD ? The one who brings more positive impact and more success to the team they play on. Bird by a lot. Anyone who instantly says “KD” either hasn’t seen enough old film of Bird to truly make an educated pick OR they’re just a hater basing their choice off of some sort of biased whether it be the era each played in, racial or they’re just scared of stepping 1 inch outside of their perceived status quo.
Choosing KD over Bird is like choosing a Ford mini van over a Rolls Royce or choosing a ham sandwich over a $100 T-bone steak.
It’s honestly not even close.
Larry Bird average over 40 today, no doubt 60+ on any day
In his prime Bird was as good or better than anyone who ever played the game. 🏀
MJ agrees with you.
ever
Correct
Idk how MJ would feel about that, but I think that Magic definitely would agree.
💯💯💯💚🐦
I Understand why people would take KD, you've seen more of him because of the modern times by default so i get it but I'm taking bird anyday and it's a pretty easy choice
If there was somehow a significant amount of money to be won (or lost) depending on a persons answer to the “Bird or KD” question then most of this younger generation who will normally just rattle off “KD” as their answer would instead stop and do exactly what they should’ve already done in the first place before answering a question like that. They’d stop and go educate themselves on some old Bird footage, stories, stats and other NBA greats opinions THEN answer the question.
If their answer is still “KD” after properly educating themselves then that’s great. Fair enough. But at least then they’d be giving a much more educated response as opposed to one potentially based off of race, NBA eras or just what their fellow 15 year old buddies say.
Regardless of the ultimate answer to that question a huge % of young fans would come away afterwards thinking “wow that old dude is way better than I realized”. I wish it was that way with all of the past greats.
Bill and Wilt. Kareem, Walton, Magic, Baylor, Dominique, Oscar, DrJ, McHale, Olajuwon and dozens more.
Go look up some Bernard King HL’s. That dude would shine in todays league.
It’s going to be funny in 20-30 years when there’s kids born in 2030-2040 talking 💩 on Lebron, Kobe, KD, Jokic, Harden, Giannis
calling all them trash, slow, weak 🤣 saying that they played with plumbers and cab drivers. Oh it’s coming. It’s gonna happen.
And even worse than just that..... if things within the league continue on the path they have been at the rate they have been.... talking about rules and refs calls etc... there will be NO defense in 2040-2050. I don’t mean bad or lazy defense, I mean NO defense. The league will be a league of 82 3 point contests a season. Or variations of that and the game
H-O-R-S-E. And worse than that yet still.... the players will be making $4 - $5 BILLION a season. And they’ll sit out for weeks at a time (from the 3pt contests) with a pimple on their ass.
Now you modern day fans, you 15 year olds imagine that scenario then realize that’s EXACTLY how us old school 80s-90s fans feel about today’s league. 🤚🏼🎤💥💨

Sorry, KD isn't as all around as Larry
Yes thank god there is someone who knows he swept mj.
He should be held in the highest light possible, people dont understand the legand of larry joe bird, the fact all the greatest players threw the last 50 yrs will tell you dont mess with that white boy
The win percentage has a new leader at the moment, Kawhi Leonard is 1st (452-158), Magic is in 2nd (670-236) which moves Larry Bird to 3rd (660-237). In 2023 Kawhi Leonard isn't done with his career yet, so he might stay on top, or not.
Don’t forget Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, and NBA Executive of the Year awards.
I've always wondered, isn't win percentage considering minutes played and difficulty of schedule really the best metric for determining a player's skill? I mean, the fact that Magic and Bird have the highest win percentages in the hardest league the NBA ever had has to bump them up several pegs. I don't ever really get why that's not talked about more.
@@nunyabusiness5075 Kawhi was roll player on that San Antonio team he got his numbers from..🤦🤦🤦♂🤦♂🤦♀🤦♀
This is a Robert Horry argument, LOL! 😂😂🤣🤣
He talked so much trash that they have it on film. Priceless.
My Dad was a Pistons fan. Still shakes his head when you mention Bird.
I was raised in Detroit..almost got my ass whipped for showing up to school in a Bird jersey lol
Dude thats a priceless memory. Your dad knows the real pain larry bird was to every single team.
He was a 1 of a kind basketball genuis
Don't get it twisted Larry Legend can fight and he did 🐐☘️🏀👍
Oh hell yes. He had no problem putting a fist in someones face. And he did on multiple occasions.
Larry COULD NOT fight.......... BUT buddy better HIT HARD because Larry Legend WAS Tougher then LeaTher'
@@kristalmacleod3004 Larry knew how to fight and there are videos and stories of him fighting on and off the court.
Larry Legend and Magic saved the NBA 2 🐐🐐 have some respect, they wouldn't be playing this game if it wasn't for those 2 guys 🐐🐐
Bird and KD are both elite players. Their career shooting averages are identical. KD is a better scorer. Bird is a better rebounder and a far better passer and playmaker. My bottom line, though, is that Bird was an ultimate warrior. I cant say that about KD.
Couldn't have said it better.
Forgot to add that I really like your channel.
Why do black men 35 and under refuse to believe that Larry Bird was as great as he was? KD couldn't even play on the same court as Larry. LeBron may be King, But Larry Bird was GOD!!! Of Basketball, of course.
It's racism. They have been so brainwashed that white men are inferior. Hell,the Heavyweight Champion of the World is White. Tyson Fury.
After winning ROY and finishing 4th in MVP he then finished 1st or 2nd in MVP for the next 8 straight years. 9 solid years of dominance of the whole NBA by the greatest all around player ever.
It gets me every time. When youngsters think they know more than the NBA Legends, who actually played against him. 😆
Great reaction. Next three are great videos but your buddy needs to watch Birds greatest passes and then see how he would feel about Bird in today’s league. When you watch keep in mind he also averaged 10 rebounds per game in an era with Barkley, mosses Malone, Ewing, Olajuwon, Kareem, Dunkin, Robinson and so many more big centers I can’t name them all
Everybody has their opinion, but IMO to take KD or LeBron over Larry Bird is shortsighted. Watch Making the Case for Larry Bird, by Clayton Crowley. He makes the case for eight different players explaining why each of them may be the goat. Larry was the founding member of the 50/40/90 club and helped drag the NBA out of the toilet. Also, they’re playing in different eras. Today somebody looks sideways at a player and it’s a foul. A stubbed toe has the player sitting out the rest of the game with oxygen. In the 80s and early 90s they played like men, it got rough and the refs let them play. Twice, Larry Bird broke bones in his face and came back out and played the rest of the game. I don’t see any players today doing that. Everybody’s shooting threes, nobody’s going for rebounds, there is no team cohesiveness - everybody’s trying to be the star. They bounce from team to team in search of a ring rather than working on making a great team. I’ve been watching basketball from the late 60s. Larry Bird is the greatest player I ever saw; highest basketball, IQ ever. (and I was a Knicks fan!)
The players today would not have a chance in Birds era
KD? The Bus Rider? Over Larry Legend the Bus Driver? That's an insult, not even a comparison. KD would be knocked on his ass half the time. Is KD going to battle Moses Malone for rebounds? Is KD going to make the array of no look passes? Is KD going to sacrifice his body every single game? Not a chance. KD post up game doesn't even exist. I watched and watch both. It's not close. 2nd Highest win % in history is Larry Bird.
100%. KD is a thin pane of glass compared to Bird.
It's kinda dumb to compare KD to Larry. Especially since Larry mentored/advised KD. There's video out there of both of them talking about it. Bird played in an era of man-to-man defense, which led to more isolation ball, since help defenders who didn't immediately commit to a double team could be whistled for illegal defense. Eliminating that rule counterintuitively opened the entire floor, which has led to today's explosive game. Players with vision can absolutely feast on rotating defenses. Doncic is proof. Bird would've thrived.
The ’80s was such a great decade for basketball was because it featured some of the best players in history in the best team situations. You still saw give-and-gos, fundamental pick-and-rolls, but also a new wave of high-flying dunkers, and of course, physical play that today's NBA lacks. It was an era of man-to-man defense, which led to more isolation ball, since help defenders who didn't immediately commit to a double team could be whistled for illegal defense. Eliminating that rule counterintuitively opened the entire floor.
Larry was super clutch and a total menace
On the mvps in today's league, who has gotten 3 in row? When Larry Bird was playing, he was the third one to do it in NBA history.
Cool react. Liked. Bird was different. Definitely the highest basketball IQ ever, IMO. My GOAT is two headed. Bird & Jordan. Legit never seen anyone like those two. Mike has the edge with the athletic ability. But both were just different than I have ever seen since. Yeah, I'm an old head....but I don't hate on today's game. I evolved with it. If Bird or MJ were in today's game, they would dominate. Spacing & no hand check would make it unfair to the rest of the league. They would legit score anytime they wanted to. Getting 40's on the regular. It's not even a debate for me. I'm just glad that I lived through that...and happy to see all the young ballheads now seeing just some of their greatness on here.
The real GOAT is definitely Wilt, who is probably the closest to the combination of the two. Insane skills, great passes, and more physically dominant than Michael could ever hope to be. I don't even get why people would call Jordan his airness because Wilt had a full 6 inches on Jordan's vertical leap and is the reason that dunking from the free throw line was banned.
@@chinaboytag1 everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That's yours. I still stand by mine.
Lol, KD isn't a team leader like Bird. Can't pass like Bird or make plays. Great shooter like Bird, both have very high release points and can get their shot off but Bird made the all NBA defense second team three times. KD will never do that although his defense isn't weak. Bird played more team defense and stole the ball rather than tight man to man but he could hurt you on defense too.
The GOAT!
absolutely correct girl
I miss the Larry Bird Mullet. I grew the LBM back in those times.
Great reaction again..
Great video guys. Good work!!!
Great video!
I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to the next three of these.
👍
My first suggestion is Bird Greatest Passer - re-edit with additional footage.
I loved Larry Byrd, Chief, Ainge, Johnson, McHale, Carr and the rest.
Check out Larry Bird verses Michael Jordan best story ever told
The fact that he was so far ahead of the game. He was bored, he challenged himself by telling the defense his game, and he still came out making records. With today's diet and excercise, the guy would be a monster in today's field. To go even further, teams worked w/ VHS at the time. A play wasn't a Google search away that you could watch at 60/fps. It had to be a coach starting and pausing, the n rewinding to show a play. If Bird could pull up a play and study his opponent, He still would be Larry Legend.
"I probably would have swung back then" was a great comment.
I hope they show Gary Payton saying that Bird was the shit and the coldest player he's ever seen. That's gotta mean a lot coming from a guy that guarded almost all the greats in their prime and is probably one of the best defensive players ever.
Larry bird swept mj everytime they met facts.
Larry bird would have been the all time goat if his body never failed him.
1 of the greatest shooters of all time as well as a great defender, can pass like magic and 3 mpvs back to back when 90% of the greatest players of all time were competing with him.
Nobody could touch him in todays game facts.
Big facts
& would do all that & still Lay a concrete slab or build a room at his mamas house afterwards
@@BadTV1993Also facts.
Just to keep it straight about Bird winning those 3 league MVP's, it was 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN A ROW! And that was with a hell of a lot of TALENT back then! Good job guys!
Dude every player he played with bk then is a hall of famer, and he was the man of the era 100%
Nobody would say different even today, labron wouldn't say he is better then bird and would be humble with it to
Bird would own the modern era. He would average 40!
KD said that from an early age, he idolized Bird, and he patterned his whole game around Bird's.
Larry and I love all the players , but Larry is the best of all time
The players were celebrating a very special moment in the season. To be honest if I was an Atlanta I would have been falling out of my seat. You get down to it what else can you do? Enjoy the moment.
I’ll tell you the biggest difference between LeBron and Bird. LeBron goes to a new team and says ok I can’t win with these losers. I need this player and that player and one of those players and we can win. Bird went to a dead last team as the only addition and never once complained about his teammates. Instead he took that dead last team to first his rookie year and made his teammates Hall of famers. Celtics had 29 wins before Bird got there and 61 wins his rookie year. The amazing thing is that was as many games as they had won in the two seasons before Bird got there. So yes Bird is way above LeBron or KD ether one. No disrespect meant to ether of these greats
Bird = Goat was a bird, now a goat
Too many GOATS to herd. 🕊️
Sorry, KD is not even close to Bird.
Show me all the video's of players telling stories about how KD told them what the play was and where he was going to shoot from and then do it. That is just one of the things Bird did that sets him apart from the rest.
Bird is the best all-around player ever.
White man dominated black man sport. He is Larry Legend!
You are both Hilarious brothers
the trainers lap thing was not meant as he would fall into the trainers' lap, just that he was going to make the shot from where the trainer was sitting, which was a 3-pointer.
one of my favorite stories was I think it was Isaiah Thomas that said if you put him magic Jordan and bird in a room together bird is the one walking out
KD SOFT
LARRY BIRD KILLER
What I have learned watching videos of Larry Bird.. he was not at his top game in the 90's.. he was hurt with back injuries... and still came out and made stuff happen.. Just would love to see Lebron go against Larry in the 80's.. I truly think Larry would take his ass to church.
Bird would score much more easily in this era without people grabbing his shirt, getting in his airspace, or raking him across the back with their nails like they did in his day. His biggest problem would be controlling himself to avoid Technical Fouls.
More like controlling him tradh talking mate tbf 😂
@@topdrive543 Folks would need a thick skin - Bird v Draymond would be crazy - I think the practices with him and Draymond on the same team would probably be really wild.
@@jpecci1262 absolutely, nobody thinks bird would not only dominate in this day but absolutely destroy and take over todays league. Im always gunna back magic when he said and i quote " there will never ever ever ever be another larry bird "
Even mj when bird retired was over the moon cause he couldn't beat him.
And i think larry bird was the only player to ever get the better of mj and this was prime time air jorden to
Don't get it twisted Larry Legend can fight and he did 🐐☘️
Larry Bird was a greater competitor, greater passer, greater defender, greater all around player, and by far more clutch than KD. Without KD's 2 cheap rings this comparison would look real disrespectful to Larry Bird.
That's whyvthey call him larry legend goat status
Bird over anyone ever. If he stayed healthy it would have been curtians. Bird was a beast he single handedly saved the nba!
You Young Men just Don't know How Great Larry Joe Bird was in his PRIME.... 3 TIME MVP Three Years in a Row.. Only 2 other Players have Ever Done it and nobody else has Done it Since Larry Bird 🐦... He would tell you what he was going to do before he did it to you... He was playing Horse against 5 other players and they still couldn't STOP 🛑 Larry Bird...
I don't know how you can say today's game is harder when the best three players today all say the NBA is easy compared to European basketball and European basketball is similar to 80s 90s nba
☘️🏀🐐
Bird would destroy this era’s league in all stats. There is no comparison between how physical the game use to be compared to the weak sauce of today’s league. You barely breathe on a shooter and a foul is called…..back then it was pretty much street rules “no blood, no foul”. Add in now if they’re shooting a 3 point shot they get three free throws….Bird would be averaging 40 points a game. Bird was well above 90% free throw shooter, he’d average 20 points a game just off of free throws. In the 60 point game he had against the Hawks, Bird went 15/16 from the free point line, and he had many games where he went 12 for 12 or 11 of 11 from the line. Bird hustled more than any other player ever has. He never quit playing whether he had the ball or not, he was always moving and always a threat.
Two great stories about Bird you need to find….1) When the dream team played the college kids….Rodney Rogers got schooled by Bird, won’t ruin it for you, you need to see it, Jamal Mashburn tells it best. 2) John Stockton said right before his first game against Bird (in Utah), that Bird walked past their bench saying he felt good that night and felt like he was going to get 43 points. 4 or 5 minutes in to the 3 quarter Bird scored his 43rd point and checked himself out of the game, so he ended with exactly 43 points like he said he would.
Bird did all this Against The Showtime Lakers, Bad Boy Pistons, 76ers, and just think of all the Great Players in the League at that time, including MJ.... and to get Back to Back to Back MVPs...... Ya Better Check Yourself, Before Ya Wreck Yourself.......
KD couldn't have dealt with Bird in the NBA of the 80's and 90's. Today you go to the line if anyone just breathes on you.
Bro, I be honest. I grew up watching Bird, MJ, Magic, etc. And I am from Cleveland, I watched Lebron from rookie year, even seen him in high school playing in the area where I grew up. and I am going to tell you this, you tell me, from all my years watching basketball, you tell me, who would I pick between Lebron, Durant, whatever, I am picking Bird 10/10 times. Lebron, Durant, they are amazing too. Bird is not athletic like them, but one thing Bird has over Lebron, durant and pretty much every player in NBA today, Bird had heart, balls to the wall, no fear, trash talk you down and back it up and nothing you can do to stop it. AND Bird had that killer instinct, give me the ball with 2 seconds left, I will make it and send us home with a win, you never hear those words come out of Lebron, Durant, etc. Bird would kill everyone in NBA today if he was playing in his prime. no one could touch him. I guarantee, Bird would average triple double every game with ease. Only player I can see that could match Bird would be the NBA true MVP Jokic.
You dont need flashy things to win baby.
When the game is on the line, you had to keep the ball out of his hands. back then there was no zone defense and they couldn't double team someone if they didn't have the ball and Larry could take anyone 1v1. Denial is your only chance.
Bird 6'9 6'10
This guy saying he’d take kd over bird is ridiculous. Bird would mop up the floor with his “franchise.”
KD is good but Larry is just on another level. These young guys do not realize the greatness of Larry Bird. He was appropriated the brand " Legend" by his peers, and the media for a reason. He is "Larry Legend" when being talked about. As for the rest of the NBA players, past and present whose game is legendary, that adjective is just kind of generic now.
Check out Larry Bird's greatest passing video it'll blow your socks off
❤🎉
With all due respect KD isn't even in the same tier of players as Bird. The 86 Celtics would absolutely shred any team KD has ever played for.
Just the net is string music .
They didn't pay off the left hand story...he scored 47.
Larry Bird said Michael Jordan was a god but then he swept Chicago's three times on the way to the finals
Ask Michael Jordan, he believes that LarryBird had no weaknesses. I guarantee that MJ was was better than KD will ever be, and he thought that LarryBird was the best player on the planet until he retired.
Try..Making the Case..
Bird would destroy kd mentality. Bird is greatest at in NBA history
You wouldn't have taken a swing at Bird. Have you ever watched the fights that he got in?
Tackle him. 😎
Birds better than any other BB player you pick!!! Bird adapted easily to every situation ....you have no idea youngin!!! LOL
By the way, love you guys, but Larry Joe Bird won 3 straight MVPS! 84, 85, 86. Who else has done this?! Research. I know. 3 straight 3 point winning competitions. 12 starlight All NBA teams, and how many defensive teams? 24, 10, 7. Not including steals and blocks. Also played in a really defensive era. Can KD not get hurt? Is he still playing? Crickets. The ultimate player and warrior. Ask Michael, or Magic, or Lebron. Research
KD is great but he is no Larry Bird. in a 9 year run from 1980 to 1989, Larry Bird got 67% of all MVP
' votes that were cast. All other players combined only received 33% of the votes.
More Great players have talked up Larry Bird. and many are HOF.......I have NEVER Heard other player Talk about Jordan, Kobi Labron etc...There Must be Something about This..
Bird would kill in today's game!!! LeBron just wishes he was better than Bird..... you gotta be kidding me!
24/10/7
LeBron James put Larry Bird in his top THREE. Yeah. That is correct.
Juice the thing for me was there talking about his looks saying he talks like Forest Gump , this is reacting to Larry Legend playing basketball and by the way, you didn't do it Juice but I haven't heard them say any of that shit about other players what's up with that fr have you seen some of the guys looks he's lighting up just being honest, your Friend can take KD all he wants we all have different player's they have but it goes to far when it gets personal and some times it sounds like something else fr
KD is a great scorer but he’s not a leader who makes his teammates better. I love KD but he’s no Larry Legend
How about reacting to Pistol Pete Maravich, the man who had most of his moves stolen that you never heard of.
Did he say it's harder nowadays? Brother learns some history. It is not harder nowadays.
You had to get right up in Bird's face to guard him and even then he'd just pass it to someone else. He had such a high arc on his shots. And, no. The NBA is not harder today than it was in the 1980s. Go back and watch some games. The rules on contact have changed and the league is softer now.
Nobody has done reaction vid to quarterback Jim McMahon Chicago Bears. 25-0 as a starter unbeatean NFL record. . Called hiis own plays. Would bot watch game film. Got Chicago Bears first Super Bowl in 1985. Brought the BYU AAir Citcus to the NFL. Played like a Defense player
Nobody like him now.
👀
would really help if you guys talk louder so we can hear you. damn.
In the 60point game when Levingston n others cheering Larry they don't say the entire crowd was cheering for Larry. Watch the complete game and you will hear the crowd cheering Larry Larry Larry. When Larry Bird was young he always played with black people at the basketball court near his house... so I'd think thats where he got his trash talking and didn't like when white people guarded him. Idk just a guess. But he did always play with black guys from his area. Thats 100% true story Bird growing up playing with all black people.
LeBron couldn't beat Bird back in the day cause Larry's a team player and LeBron has to have the ball all the time! It's called a team for areason!
KD any other player in the league has never had the game IQ Larry Bird had, may I suggest watching "Making The Case; Larry Bird
Objective pov of someone else. May react to it doe!
I just really, really, really don't think people understand how much talent existed in the 80s. Plus, KD never had guys dragging him by the jersey like Bird. In today's offensive league, I think the legends of old would be getting a lot more points. If Westbrook can do it, they are definitely much much better. I'd entertain other ideas. I mean, nobody can top Wilt as the GOAT, but I think it's a lot closer between Bird, Magic, and Jordan than people think. I'm still cool with whatever anyone wants to go with, but these modern players? Man, they are trash by comparison. I don't think any of them no what it's like to carry a team. They all just partner up. I'll give Curry a pass because it's not his fault that the Warriors were great and I do think that Curry is much better than the rest. That being said, I'm not putting any guys that need to switch teams every couple of years on a list with GOATs that carried their teams like Bird.
That's Hilarious, you should here what Lebron has to say about Bird.....Just saying 🤷!
Craig Elrod was the white guy.
Takin KD?? What are you talking about. Still the only 24/10/6 player ever
You need to watch the video titled was Larry better than Jordan. Larry used to torch Jordan. Michael only started to beat him when Larry got back problems.
Larry Legend kills all
