Bro the 90s was the golden age for sports I grew up watching MJ there will never be another not even close ..MJ is the greatest athlete in team sports history bar none
Dude there is nothing leflop can do to pass Micheal Jeffrey Jordan as the goat he has too many flaws
DEFENSE MAY NOT BE THAT IMPORTANT IN TODAY'S BASKETBALL BUT BACK THEN IT WAS AND MICHAEL WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST IF NOT THE GREATEST AT HIS POSITION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL 🏀
This current era is a clown show; players are allowed to carry, travel, and charge without consequence. They have no mid-range games, post games, or defensive prowess, particularly Lebron. They missed games from numerous injuries and never play 82, even though there is no wear and tear on their bodies from playing defense, which they don't.
Regarding your glorifying someone with no bag and SIX finals losses, it defies common sense. Competition mandates a winner, which completely disqualifies Lebron. The NBA removed all defensive rules to allow this bum to take four and five steps to the hole unfettered. In the 90s, he would be toast the first time he charged into the lane.
This bum isn't top 20.
My Top Three players of all time are #1 Michael Jordan #2 Larry Bird #3 Magic Johnson
Great List Bro, THATS RIGHT
I don't think magic was better than Kareem. Impossible but I agree with your first two top players
Good top 3, I would go Michael, Larry, Kobe, and then Magic but the last one is close. 🤓
Mine's too.
1.Magic
2. MJ
3. Bird
🫡
No one can eclipse Jordan, better player in a tougher era, could you imagine what he would do in today's game in his prime
Great reaction youngster. Imagine watching this in person? I was able to witness MJ in the flesh a few times at that old LA Sports Arena vs Clippers, and what my 20/20 vision saw was like nothing it had seen before or after. I've bled purple & gold since Magic's rookie season but without hesitation I proclaim MJ to be the GOAT. And in my opinion it's not even close. That wasn't a push off. Mike was strong but not that strong where he can push aside a 230 lb. man with his off-hand. On the play before MJ drove hard-right for a layup and Russ thought he was going to do the same but MJ stopped on a dime. Only thing that took Bryon's ankles was Mr. Momentum.
We can't compare anyone with MJ. He shines alone in a higher dimension🌟🌟 You can only compare with other people. MJ GOAT FOREVER ~~
Agree
Jordan was a complete player all around. A phenom with a basketball
I just can't get into the nba today but to each his own
This video would definitely make you think of today. All I’m looking for is to see if Lebron actually wins this year (Finals). Here’s how goofy people are: Even @ 4-7 (if he loses), people would still be delusional. I’m an 80s baby (who saw THE JACKSONS), so Lebron is just another player to me🤣
My 1st time on your channel. I really appreciate that you don't use foul language. I'm old school, from Chicago and saw Jordan play. MJ is tha GOAT... PERIOD!!! It's about how he made you feel when you watched him play. Even seeing your reaction, showed me how excited you were. The mixtape is a thing of beauty. The editing and music were fantastic. But it wouldn't be nearly as fascinating, if it did have MJ.
Jordan is #1
9:32 the triple clutch layup. One of the guys on the bench was Sam Bowie, who was picked before MJ in the draft.
For me Larry Bird's my goat . Like you said though Larry Bird beating Jordan like he did May Jordan the Beast he was. But for me the three greatest for what they did for the NBA or Larry Bird Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. The league wouldn't be anything to what it is today without those three
The numbers don't show the beautiful game Jordan played.
Nah. BB isn't that great today. Skill level is high but drive to win isn't there. Jordan, Magic and Bird played every game like it was their last and that was the difference.
Today it seems like a really long season that I don't care about until playoffs.
Jordan is the greatest athlete to ever play basketball and Bird is the smartest player to ever play basketball. I don't really compare them as they come at the game so very differently. Today we have this obsession with GOAT stuff but the truth is they are two of the very best... if you insisted on picking one player to be "the greatest" I think it has to be MJ. It's probably a silly distinction since they are both so amazing in their day and so clearly better than everyone else they played against. MJ is talent, Bird is brains... what makes you the GOAT you decide?
Dude I love this mixtape. It’s almost have a soul itself💪💪💪🔥
Jordan’s the goat. Alotta players have skills. He had the drive determination killer instinct like nobody else. Closest thing to Jordan was Kobe.
Great reaction! I enjoy your videos. I know what you're saying about players like Drexler and Ray Allen being overshadowed. It's like Sham. Sham was an excellent horse, but he ran when Secretariat did. He had the unfortunate timing of racing against the greatest horse who ever lived. There are lots of extraordinary Hall of Fame players who were both eclipsed and denied championships just because they played when MJ played.
You mention the greatness of Lebron. The problem is that with the greatness, there is a litany of serious negatives. That is all part of it. You can't just cherry-pick the good and ignore all the rest, especially when it is GOAT talk.
I love that you distinguish between subjective and objective lists. Not enough people do that. They mistake their favorite player to also be the GOAT, and in many instances, that is not the case.
Just an opinion playing defense makes it competitive, centers shooting 3's all game one team tries to out 3point shoot each other, put jordan in the NBA and if he was 22,23 years old and no one is guarding him 45 points a game easy
MJ is most definitely well-deserving as the G.O.A.T. He was rewarded with multiple Regular Season & Finals MVPs. He has more trophies, awards, accolades and records achieved in a short time. He has the best moves on the court and much more electrifying than any other player. He actually played defense. My favourite team is the Toronto Raptors, however, MJ is the Greatest of them all.
Lebronze fanboys disrespecting mj these days , and saying we’re just nostalgic over him and can’t accept that someone’s better , but wtffffff Lebronze ain’t that dude 😂😂😂😂. I still ain’t seen no one better than mj . Greatest team sport athlete I’ve ever seen . So dominant.
The quality of today's NBA game is better than ever? Hard no. Better at shooting threes. YES. In today's NBA certain players are allowed to carry the ball and travel. Lebron gets three to four steps to the rim and is allowed to put his shoulder to bowl over players. Just watch the replays in slow mo. The flopping and free throws awarded to phantom fouls is completely out of hand in todays game. If players in the 90s were called for fouls by brushing jerseys against each other like today, imagine how many more inflated the point totals of those offensive stars of the 90s would be? Imagine Karl Malone or MJ's point totals then?
No, the rule changes in today's league make it impossible to defend without getting foul called on you and players just get out the way to allow players like Lebron to score. MJ never had it that easy.
If MJ rested on defense like Lebron does and only worried about offense, could you imagine MJ's scoring with all that energy saved? Think about that.
I was a Lebron fan earlier in his career, but once he started team stacking and trying to win the easy way I lost respect for him. That Miami heat team was a disgrace to the word competition.
Also, it doesn't matter if Lebron wins two more championships. That would mean he needed at least 22 seasons to just match MJ's WIN total. Think about that. MJ won 6 for 6 (100%) in 11 full seasons with the BULLS. Right now Lebron would need to win back to back just to be 6 for 12 (50%) in 22 seasons. That means it would have taken Lebron twice as many seasons to win the same amount of championships all while playing with other superstars on his team. How could that be better than MJ? Make that make sense.
That game you went too as a child with the wizard was not the second time he retired that was the 3rd time he retired
Russell was already committed to trying to beat MJ to the spot; when MJ did the dead stop, Russell couldn't possibly recover in time. I feel like MJ didn't push Russell so much as he spanked him.
The goat forever timeless
How can winning another chip make Lebrun a better player when Lebrun peaked years ago…make that make sense
MJ has a best defender ever video and you need to see it!!! In my eyes, LJ lost the augument as soon as he called himself the goat!!! Not his place and it was arrogant and disrespectful!!! G.O.A.Tś do not flop or stay at the net to make baskets and give lackadasical defense if at all!!! LJ is actually a mainstream media creation since he came out of hs!!!! The media has protected him his entire career!!! ESPN has a lot of explaining to in reference to current PED usage accusations on the net!!!! He is looking not so good in this situation!!!
Let me ask you this bro, how could the quality of the NBA better today if the competitiveness is nowhere near the same than previous eras?
I mean greattmess, prowess and the overall love of the game is rooted and grounded in being the BEST, by beating the BEST.
Without competitiveness there's nothing exciting to watch about any sport, let alone basketball.
Men thrive off competitiveness, hence the reason for the creation of sports in general.
GOAT short simple apt. PERIOD
A lot of us seen both Micheal and lebron in real time there is no comparison to Jordan no cap
I was never a basketball fan before or after Jordan, but when he played i lived the game. MJ didnt dunk, he flew. He floated. He had invisible wings. He had more air time than the Blue Angels. Watching him, you just knew you were witnessing greatness. Beyond his airtime, his ball handling and almost uncanny awareness of the location of opponents and the basket made him a standout during a great era for basketball.
I saw MJ play it was amazing. I saw Larry play, I cannot describe it. Larry was just...something. Larry Bird is the one true Goat.
Nah bro . Impossible. He is behind Jordan
@@bereal1640 is that even your opinion dude? Os someone repeat it and you believe it? It s behind in what? Eye test brah. I don t give a F about stats. Everyone kwen in the 80s that Larry was the best on the planet. You got covers of magazines sayin it brah
Goat of the ugliest mascara or game. I saw him in person a few times and his game was as ugly as Candace Parker without Maybelline. He was as athletic as pregnant sloths. And his handles were mediocre at best. Even his own teammates (McHale and Ainge) view MJ as the GOAT. The great Bob Cousy also views MJ as the GOAT.
@@ThatGuyMalasartesIt's the opinion of Bob Cousy, the NBA logo (West), Baylor, Magic, Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing, Mourning, Divac, Barkley, Rodman, Wilkins, Worthy, Hill, Mullin, T-Mac, Nash, Tim Hardaway, Iverson, Kobe, Richmond, Moncrief, Dumars, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, Ginoboli, Reggie Miller and Wade. That's a whole lot of hall-of-famers. I think we can both agree that they're just a little bit more qualified than you on the subject. Even today's cats (Durant, Leonard, Curry, Tatum, Doncic, Lillard, Zion, Harden, Butler, Edwards, Ingram, LaVine, Mitchell) view Black Jesus as the GOAT. Did you see the NBA poll on GOAT done earlier this year? His Airness doubled Bron in votes and Bird didn't even receive one vote.
Eye test? Jose Feliciano said you're in dire need of Lasik. I saw them both and MJ was a Bugatti at the Autobahn. Bird was Big Worm with a Jerome in Martin perm in a ice-cream truck on a lazy Friday afternoon.
Can't be the GOAT when you're not even the greatest small-forward all-time. King Flop passed him up many years ago. Bird has had more All-Star teammates than Meadowlark Lemon and he only has three titles. Magic beat him two out of three times in Finals and once in the NCAA chip game.
The way this dude banged on bigs was out of control.
It wasn't Jordan fault that Clyde made the statement that he was a better shooter than M. J ....so the G.O.A.T answered the challenge!! Lol
mj was the best period, and its not even close. young folks just dont know, his motor never stopped, on both sides of the ball
And it only got more beautiful over time, is the thing. Even as the body aged, the GAME kept going up, up, up. Indeed I love to watch his Wizards reel. The ultimate DAWG never lost his bite. Best that ever was, at anything.
The game will continue to be tremendously lacking in quality until the rules are revised to allow defense to be a part of the game again. Today's game too offensively oriented because Adam Silver feels like the higher scores and big statistical numbers are the best way to promote the league.
Craig Ehlo, Patrick Ewing, Bryon Russell, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler. They each got embarrassed by MJ on the court many times.
Russell was pushing MJ off way before Jordan even touched him, check out the play, Russell didn’t even complain
Great reaction. Check out. Jordan "One of the best defenders ever"
The first shot of the comeback, the practice jumper in the gym, is like watching Michelangeli play Hanons.
“…includes Lebron James”😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂#HeKnowsBetter #PrepareForAnotherLoss😄
I think LeBron has better physical attributes, but Jordan's level of body control and consistent competitive fire on both ends are better
If you want to see more of Michael Jordan's defensive highlights. The reason of his first retirement, is because he lost his father. Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T
Your being nice - there is nothing lebron can do to make me choose him over prime MJ if we are talking basketball skill. Did you ever see jordan flopping , missing layups , missing dunks, shooting 3 for 18 from 3. I didnt realize how bad lebron was until they started comparing him to MJ - go look up lebrons finals stats - lakers recently won against boston - why lebron sat out. Put him in and force the team to play lebron ball they lose .
I'm sorry, when people say comparing eras, which rules? You HAVE to use Jordan era rules. Today's NBA players, as much as everyone likes to say they are superior athletes, I disagree. They are superior in their training, but not in their skills. Sorry. Today's NBA players, have rules that allow them to take MORE steps to the hoops without travels, step-back shooting, uncalled offensive and defensive push-off and elbowing fouls, less defense, etc. The Rules have changed in-line with "the talent" today. Most of these ball handling "carry" moves today could not be completed under the Jordan era without being called, leading to more turnovers. I think it would be harder from a pure fundamentals ability to "take away" these modern ball player's skills, in favor of a more traditional way to play basketball. I think it would be harder for modern players to adapt to less lax, more right rules. Joran WAS and will ALWAYS be king. The perfect player and athlete.
GOAT 🐐 and it's not even close...MJ alone could not beat the Celtics, Lakers, Pistons...because the Celtics were MORE than just Bird...Pistons were MORE than just Isaiah... Lakers had Magic/Kareem/Worthy and more....MJ had...uhhh... yeah just MJ....when he finally got Pippen and a better TEAM, his TEAM could compete with those other TEAMS just fine and MJ led in almost every category... but make no mistake about it, MJ outplayed all those guys individually, even in losses...so tired of seeing "MJ didn't beat TeamX"...because it was just MJ vs TeamX...he even said "I don't think one man can beat the Boston Celtics"..its silly to think Lebron on the mid 80s Bulls could have done anything different against the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons...especially getting tackled/punched/elbowed by the pistons
👊👊👊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏VERY WELL SAID
LOL! And this isn't even the wildest MJ highlight video on UA-cam. The Michael Jordan Defying Gravity video is crazy!
Nba is Gay. Who YOUNGINS will never Get Close. MJ for Life
2 Olympic gold medals ✌️
13:40 Lived to see Lebron’s greatness❓😄😄😄😄#We’llSeeHowThisSeasonEnds
# 1 BIRD # 2 JORDAN
# 3 MAGIC
You want to talk Goat ? Wilt Chamberlain holds 72 NBA records , 68 by himself .most that will never be broken. He averaging 50.4 points per game , 25.7 rebounds and 48.5 minutes in the same season. And they didn't have the 3 pointer in his era. Wilt has the most 50-point games in a season with 45 . Most players don't have one.in a career ..He also had a 100 point game. They made several new rules just to make it harder for him. His records and life time scoring average would have been even more if they didn't have him play less offense and more defensive in his second halve of his career .Check out his sats . He was also super strong and a track star. ..
They also had no defense back then.
The ultimate playoff choker
@@linorestrepolobo3620 Negative
My young friend Bird was the greatest all around player to ever play. The one player Jordan has alot respect was Bird.
Respect to bird . He was a machine but Jordan is in different category by himself. Nobody is close
Jordan nominated as the best sportsman ever . Something more bigger than just a basketball player
19:07 The state of the NBA? We’ll see if LeFlop can win this year…💯
I am from Chicago, and I think MJ is definitely the goat, but in terms of clutch, it is CLOSE, in fact, I would actually give the edge to Bird. Razor thin there though, the case could be made either way in that category. 🙃😎
NO PLAYER today TOP 10 !
# 1 BIRD ( best all around )
# 2 MJ ( couldn’t beat Bird )
# 3 MAGIC ( everyone’s top 5 )
# 4 WILT ( 100 points , man )
# 5 RUSSELL ( 11 rings , man )
# 6 KAREEM ( of course top 10 )
# 7 HAKEEM ( deserves top 10 )
# 8 DR J ( Jordan before Jordan )
# 9 KOBE ( least competition )
# 10 DUNCAN ( solid as hell )
# 11 CURRY ( one trick pony )
# 14 KD ( had his chance )
# 16 JAMES ( way overrated )
10:16 Patrick & Mike went to school together, so if anyone would tell you to leave him alone, it’ll be him🤣😂🤣
I love me some larry Bird .but the debate should be between lBJ and Bird .would take Birds mentality over l B J any day that should be the debate
Since you asked… the current NBA is unwatchable.
Lebeba not top 10 all time.
No way Lebum is the goat 😂 Lebum is the the goat 🐐 of turnovers check is stats on his turnovers
Jordan is the goat 🐐 6-0 never lost in the championship
Never choke
Best scoring
He was fear and you get embarrassed by guarding him
Less turnovers
Black Jesus lol
And nobody ever dunk like Mike
The whole world wants to be like Mike
I copied his style and I barely gets stopped and every time I got the ball they double team me lol
I do not watch the NBA anymore.
#1 Michael Jordan #2 Wilt Chamberlain #3 Kobe Bryant
Those are the best ever in order in my personal opinion.
Jordan is BY FAR the GOAT. It's not even close. Where it starts getting messy is at #2.
As for today's NBA, it is UNWATCHABLE!!!!! Nothing but a 3pt shooting contest, where players are allowed to take 5 steps, FLOP, and take too many games off (load management) in a league that has BANNED Defense. Adam Silver has admitted that he changed the rules to make it easier to score. NBA players have even said that it is easier to score in today's NBA than in the European League!! B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!
If I get first pick for all NBA team I'm taking Bird 1st
MJ is the GOAT and Kobe is Goatjr!
Is the league today better and more skilled because of pure talent, or is the rules more catered to the offensive player, and it's no real defense being played? Hence, viewership is lower
Jordan is #4 on the list. He would have not even had a league without Bird and Johnson. The NBA would have folded if not for those 2 in 1980. GOAT not even close.
I’ll agree with you that skill wise. The NBA is better than it’s ever been. However, that doesn’t mean that they are better basketball players. I do love the overall parity in the league right now though. It hasn’t been this good since the late 80s.
Overall skill levels in a sport should always improve over the years. The fact that you look back 40 years on someone’s rookie year and honestly consider that this man would still be the best player in the world on top of what he did for the game as a whole puts him above everyone else. I mean yeah lebron is breaking records but he’s played almost a decade longer in the NBA. I would hope by now he would have caught up with at least some of MJ’s achievements.
Appreciate you appreciating Bird. A great player and wicked competitor. Agree with you that Jordan outshines Bird (and all others) in complete dominance.
As far as today’s NBA, I can’t say kind words about what I’m seeing on the courts. Lack of defense and spacing has made scoring very easy. The amount of palming and traveling allowed by today’s rules makes the game look comical at times. Not going to deny the athletes are better overall (as diet, training and analytics have improved), but their fundamentals regressed as most pro players are fast-tracked to the show.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s made me spoiled by excellent team basketball, where teams played defense, bigs blocked shots, and a more physical style of play was allowed (to some extent). Most pros went to college and played a few years under terrific basketball minds, which led to a good knowledge of the game and a practicing of basic skills.
💯
Jordan was more athletic and quicker than Bird, but Larry had a better all-around game, and was a better passer. He could make passes that put even the Harlem Globetrotters to shame! And he could hit the threes as well as anyone. He even hit a shot from behind the basket while falling out of bounds. It's hard to say who was actually better.
There is no comparison. Jordan was above all of the legends. It's not close
@@randabeast If I had to choose, I'd say Larry was the GOAT.
@@kentclark6420larry chooses MJ
Larry Legend is the man but the best all around player over jordan isnt happening
Larry never chose MJ
as GOAT , Larry saved
that title for himself !

#7 Hakeem
#8 LeBron
#9 Steph
#10 Kareem
ok i had to reply again, i left that last comment halfway through the video...
Jordan is my GOAT, but like the man himself said at the beginning of the video, everyone plays different in different eras. Lebron is the Goat of this generation.
But...... ive seen them both, and Jordan was better in a single game scenario. he was clutch, he was aggressive and confident, he was athletically dominant, he was a master of fundamentals, when the Bulls pg got hurt doug collins put jordan in at pg and he averaged a triple double until the starter returned to the lineup. When people said drexler was a better player because he shot better from 3... MJ shot 6/6 on 3's in the FIRST HALF of game 1 of the NBA FINALS! just to prove a point (still an nba record).
Lebron will end up having the greater longevity and career stats - its simply amazing that he is still the player he is at this age, so i dont fault anyone who says hes the best they've seen, just like i respect old heads who say russell or wilt or kareem or bird or magic or whoever was their goat (my dad has oscar robinson but when pressed he will say mj was up there) because the game is just different in different eras
Yeah, Clyde got it bad. Patrick too. Knick fan here.
PS hah. I said that and then you said that.
There's a video of THE SHOT from different angles that shows it DEFINITELY was NOT a pushoff. Look it up
In the 80s it was just Jordan vs Detroit Lakers and Boston the 90s Chicago added role players that is the difference
Today’s NBA is terrible.
LEFLOP DOESNT PLAY DEFENSE..YALL GIVING BIRD TOO MUCH CREDIT 😩😩It was MORE of the HALL OF FAME CELTICS TEAM..not just BIRD beating JORDAN 😩😩😩GTFOH😳
Love Jordan but it's hard for me to say Jordan is goat. Didn't make much of an impact when he came in. His drive was to win by himself was the thing that keeps him from being the goat for me.
Jordan was such a gifted athlete but his ability to play a team game wasn't there.
He says himself that he wanted what Bird and Magic had and he learned the hard way that he couldn't do it by himself.
Magic and Bird came in knowing what Jordan had to learn. You need your teammates.
Jordan for me is under several players in BB IQ but better than everyone else in athletic ability to play the game.
So I have a top six.
Magic and Jordan are my guards, Bird and Duncan are my forwards and Kareem is my center and Bron is my sixth man. I can make a great case though for McHale as sixth man
I have seen all of these players in real time and I said what I said.
😂😂😂😂😂
If Larry Bird is a
better shooter , a
better rebounder ,
a better passer , a
better free throw
shooter , a better
3 point shooter and
Michael Jordan never
beat Larry Bird , than
what the hell does
that make Larry Bird ?
Micheal best defensive player
The current NBA is better than ever? What on earth are you smoking over there. This is the weakest the NBA has been in years and the viewership numbers prove it. No defense. No heart. Average players dropping 30 points. Whack calls. Glorified in season tournaments. The Lakers hanging banners worthless banners.
I just cant get past the fact that MJ was *0 in 6* against Bird in the Playoffs. Jordan even got *63 points* in one of those playoff games. Even when Jordan had Pippen... the Bulls *ONLY* won 1 game against Bird in the "regular" season. MJ even claims that Bird is better than LeBron.
This comment lacks so much context and is so flawed it’s not even worth a rebuttal
@@linorestrepolobo3620exactly. Jordan was doing all of the lifting against the Celtics in that 86 matchup and some say that they still can’t figure out how he didn’t beat Bird in the playoffs. All he needed was some help and when he got some he kept the game in a stranglehold.
How can you argue with that, the top players are telling the story. How can you argue with the players that were there
Bron is trash. His accolades are longevity stats. His rings aren’t from being a cornerstone to a team. They’re from assembling juggernauts made of established players essentially playing pickup. The entire league and media caters to his madness. His legacy is going to be one of having a detrimental impact on the league just through his attitude. I’m 100% a hater on James. I’ll own that. He wouldn’t come close to a top 5 and I could make solid arguments against even a top 10.
Jordan is above all of the legendary players including bird.
Scoring today is not a big deal. Rules have been changed and because of the 3-point shots, the team must defend the much larger area, and there are many spaces through which you can penetrate or from which you can throw to the basket relatively freely. In addition, steps, travels, and carries are admitted much too easily as if we were in the schoolyard in the small classes. ~ inflated statistics.
#ADneedsMoreHelp
Michael Jordan had his best year in Basketball the same year Larry Bird swept him in the playoffs....for the second time. If MJ is the GOAT, where does that leave Larry legend?
React to Michael Jordan BEST rare Video ever Voyager that’s the title of the video unseen footage of MJ it’s unbelievable.
No. There is no 'The One,' there's 'The Two' Prime to prime, Larry Bird is the equal of Jordan and possibly greatest all around player to pick up a basketball. You're not going to see Larry flying through the air dunking, that wasn't his game. What you will see is spectacular footwork, incredible passing, a fine defensive game, off the chain timing and court geometry that stands up to player of his era - no exceptions. He was a relentless point machine and he put it on every great player he went up against including Jordan with Pippen (even in the sunset of his career).
It will always be Jordan and I get it if you’re a Bird fan.
.. Agree 👍 BIRD
@@spitnificent Actually I grew up in a Laker household. Magic was king. I didn't know much about Bird. I've taken that journey and watched Bird. Followed his story and achievements but more importantly his skill set. There is no one in his era to match it. Jordan is spectacular there is no question. It's just a fact prime to prime Jordan has nothing on Bird.
But you must also remember.. Larry was in pain almost his entire career. Just 3 years in and his back and feet were mush. Of course Jordan is the best scorer of all time.. but look at the overall picture. Look at the passes Larry made that no one can match to thos day.. Jordan's famous clutch shot to win.. Larry made 10 or more just like that. The angle of many of Larry's shots. How about an entire period left handed? And how short larries career was because his back and feet were destroyed for the previous 5 years. Can you even imagine a HEALTHY Larry bird?
Bird was the greatest all around player to ever play the game. These young people don't have a clue. Look at Bird's record against Jordan. Not just 0 and 6 in the playoffs. Lebron James couldn't carry Bird's Bags.
i think alot of it seems better today due to rule changes that make it easier for them to move and shoot. No hand checking anymore, lot softer on what is called fouls now. Game is not as physical in my opinion. I miss the older game style. The baskets then were not as easy to come by unless you were crazy talented.
I'm taking Bird over Jordan.
Check out how many 7 footers he dunked on in this video. And this is just a FRACTION of his highlights. Greatest of all time BAR... NONE.
