- It's just nutts to me how people act like Bird wasn't the best small forward ever by far!!! Bird is underrated believe it or not...he was an innovator at the position in many ways but as the years go by people tend to forget or haven't done they're homework and just talk gibberish like Bird wouldn't average 35 pts 13 reb and 11 ast per game (year in year out) with these rules today come on....STOP IT! There are only a hand full of players today that would persevere under those old stressful conditions back when it was more for the love of the game than "The Bag" My Dudes Bird is a Basketball God of the highest power and don't you forget it!

I love the look on the young guys faces when I tell them I’d take Bird over LeBron day in and day out.
When Jordan was asked how he felt about Bird retiring... MJj said, "Good, maybe I can win a game now". Look it up, he said it.
Larry Joe Bird Still The Greatest Small Forward in The Association! Sorry LeBron James!

The Most Unique player Ever. Played small forward but averaged more rebounds than Ewing, McHale and Parish. Best shooter of his day but was arguably the best passer as a small forward. Slow and not great at defense but made some of the greatest defensive plays of all time. Tip passes, over the backboard, clutch shots... never knew what he was going to do next
Larry Joe Bird gets almost no respect today. Don't believe that? Go to your top five rookies of all time and see how many times Magic is mentioned and how many times Bird is mentioned. Does anyone remember who got rookie of the year that year? Young people get mad at me but i study players. That means more than stats. It means hustle,heart and what your teammates and others have to say about you. No disrespect to K.D. and Lebron but Larry Bird is the best small forward to ever play the game and Elgin Baylor is #2. People today don't realize it but these two guys are timeless

I feel sorry for the younger generation to never have seen real Basketball
I’m very happy to see young people today realize how great Larry Bird was.
I will always believe that these words and the Pistons poor sportsmanship and dirty play tactics is what kept Isaiah off the Dream Team. The rest of the NBA hated them. With talented teams like the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls the Pistons had to play "dirty" to win.
Man the way Kareem speaks of Bird should tell you everything you need to know. As a overall player Bird would always be the 1st name on my fantasy draft.
Larry Bird is the greatest of all time
As a die hard Lakers fan.....I can honestly say that Larry Legend was and is the best SF to play the game period! What he, Magic and Jordan did for the league can not be reproduced or measured in any way and in no way can or should LeBron think he is on the same level as these 3 men.
Larry Bird was and is the greatest basketball player of all time.
I saw an interview with Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain. They were asked to pick 5 players for a team, not including themselves. They both picked Larry Bird.
There is a reason why his nickname is "Legend". Thank you so much for your career.
Larry Bird is a basketball phenomenon
Larry is by far the Greatest player that also won coach of the year and executive of the year.
Best basketball IQ and the toughest mindset the basketball world has ever known! GOAT
