When Reddick is talking attempts etc. I believe there's a fact he's perhaps ignorant of. Hear me out: When watching footage of Bird I've noticed that many times, particularly in his early career but even later on, the announcers will comment that a shot wasn't a 3 pt shot because his foot was on or over the line. Bird is not someone who is unaware of where the lines are. (the "Steal by Bird.." being a good example). Which says to me that the foot on the line is because, in that moment, that line doesn't matter. Bird didn't have the _Supremacy!_ of that line drilled into him since infancy. I think, for Bird, it mattered when it mattered. Game against Washington. Last seconds, behind by 3, Bird made a 3pt shot that got waved off because time out was called. Bird comes back and hits another 3 pt shot off one foot from well outside the circle to tie it up. Later, last seconds again, when they only need 2 pts to Win, Bird hits the shot off one foot standing on the circle. Same distance shot but the line didn't matter that time. They won the game. Bird wasn't in a stat race with Steph or Reddick. Reddick's hard and fast "stat" comparisons are irrelevant and just don't tell the story.
@@LTM_Reacts Have you seen Cooper's rebuttal to Reddick? I really appreciated his explanation of how Bird got himself free. Please react to it, if you can. I'd love to hear your take.
JJ Reddick lost all credibility after this disrespect.

Bird founded the 50-40-90 Club and did it twice. And NO ONE else in Bird’s era did it.
James Naismith wouldn’t recognize the game he invented as it’s played today!
JJ is Bud light right now !!
3-3pt contest enough said
