    Bird avg. over career just over 10 rebounds. Bird avg. over career (2) 3pts baskets per game with most of his shots coming from mid range and foul shots.

    Young Buck.. Bird was the master at Juking somebody .. He was a great passer so people were always expecting him to pass .. Players from this era were coached to work the ball around to get a high % shot .. The 3 wasnt shot much for that reason .. Pull up some of these old games and study the offense , they moved the ball with constant motion and back picks and give and go... Now keep in mind they actually played Defense ..

    Bird and Magic did play similar in respect to passing and getting everybody involved. They can win games with their passing alone. Magic was the flashier passer but Bird had incredible passes too. Both elite in passing. Both have that vision pass first mentality like Lebron. These two players is who Lebron resembles the most minus the brute force to the basket game. Lebron is more like if Magic and Shaq had a baby.
    In respect to Bird and Magic I would give Bird the slight edge in being the better player. Bird was the better shooter and the better clutch performer.

Hard to watch the crying in the game now. We fought like enemies on the court but after the game we were gentlemen. I miss that. Todays stars are amazing and with the physical atributes and science they can play a long time. Different era different game. Larry could play just as good in todays game.

    Back in the 80’s they weren’t shooting the number of threes per game that they do now. It was more of an inside mid-range game with threes in key spots. Bird probably averaged 6 or 7 attempts from 3 per game but I could be a little low on that. Key pt is he won the 1st three 3pt contests would shoot 40% or better from 3 several seasons.

    Wilt Chamberlain was the NBA’s first GOAT.
    He was so amazing that the league had to change rules to make him less dominant.
    Even with the new rules established he was still considered the GOAT by his peers and fans and by many to this day.
    When the NBA and ABA merged in 1976 the league became stocked with talent with Bird about to join in just 4 years.
    Bird stepped into a starting role as a rookie and dominated, winning ROY over Magic.
    Bird mastered the original concept of the fundamentals of the game as it was meant to be played at the time, in a way that NO ONE before or since ever did.
    When MJ came into the league, Bird schooled him on “the way to play”, but MJ was so athletic that he could transcend the game and bypass the fundamentals with his speed and jumping ability by simply going up, around, or over defenses.
    Jordan’s amazing abilities transformed the game yet again and brought about a 2nd change in how the game would played from then on…until Steph came along to transform it once again into the 3pt shoot outs of today.
    I don’t care for the soft wide open game of today, and I can appreciate Jordan’s abilities, but I love the game as a TEAM sport, and players like MJ and Kobe IMO were selfish individual players who cared more about personal accolades, scoring titles, and box scores rather than the success of their team or teammates.
    I would rather see Larry drive, draw a double team, then SEE & THINK to make a no look behind the head pass (assist) to his open teammate for an easy 2, rather than see MJ mindlessly drive through a double team (with blinders on), keep the ball for himself to draw a foul, and then make 2 at the line to pad his own stats…I don’t even care if he makes a spectacular dunk for a 3 pt play.
    That’s not the strategy or genius of Birds play and why I love his style above all others.

    The three point shot was only added in Bird's rookie year in the NBA. Even though he was known as a good shooter, most teams and players really took a while to adapt their tactics to new styles. What they had all trained to do up to then was to get into the paint and take high percentage shots.

      The three point line was started "as an experiment" in 1979/1980. His first coach, Bill Fitch hated it. In fact, a lot of changes in the game and this was a *big* forcing coaches to handle their fundamentals differently. So I count Bird's first year in the Celtics there aren't going to be any three points.

    Larrys’s 40% from 3 is a different animal than Steve Kerr averaging 40%. The other team’s defensive plan is for Bird, he is option A on offense and league alpha. He’s expected to shoot last second shots, difficult shots, beat double teams, and playmake. Its way tougher 40% than players whose role is to shoot after their teammate has drawn the D or on the swing.

    You need to watch "The Greatest Rivalry in Sports History (Magic vs Bird)". This is when basketball was a team sport that was about winning the game. There was no 3 point line when Larry started but he won the first 3 point contest then won the second then won the third while wearing his warm up jacket. If you looked closely at Jordan, Kobe, Lebron and many others you will see things that Larry did. From his passing, trash talking, shooting and hustling there was no one better.

    Great reaction brother. Bird is gonn always be my GOAT. Some people say Jordan or LeBron but if you look at every angle of the game of Basketbalk you can clearly see that those guys were all about themselves & Bird did just as much passing as he did scoring. But Bird did want the ball in all one shot situations. He had Supreme confidence & the highest Basketball IQ I've ever seen. Buy the reason he's the GOAT in my opinion is he did the same things the other guys do that are in the GOAT Discussion, his stats are equally as good & in some cases better & he did it with much less athletic ability & couldn't jump nearly as good. And from day one of his career he played hurt in every single game until he retired. He did it through hustle, pure gritt, & most of all Basketball IQ.

      The advantage old guys like me and Jim Pierce above have is that yes, we watched Larry & Magic in real time, me starting with the NCAA championships, and followed them (I was a die hard Celtics fan) throughout the 80s, along with MJ entering the league in the mid 80s. And we have watched the 90s, the Kobe years, and modern day ball, and can make some judgement calls on the different eras. I'll take a rookie Larry Bird as my number one draft over anyone else, including MJ (my close 2nd).
      One overlooked fact- in 1979, Bird inherited a starting roster that were the worst Celtics team in history with a 29-51 record (2nd worst in the NBA). By just adding a rookie Bird to the starting lineup, they went 61-21, one of the most dramatic turnarounds in NBA history, going to the Eastern Conference Finals, losing to Dr J and the 76ers. And Bird and the Celtics ending up being NBA champions the following season.

    Yup. You get it. Keep it up. You'll be doing well before too long. Love the new guys, but so many of the greats that would probably still whoop up on these young bucks get forgotten. And larry was better than pretty much all of them. They all deserve respect. Glad you're doing your history homework! Id give you a list but I'd go on forever. One of my favorites though that nobody ever covers, Mugsy Bogues. He's not in the goat convo but once you see him and watch him you'll understand the heart players had back then.

    I can’t think of another rivalry that was so perfect like Larry and Magic that also had them meet in the finals thanks to being in different conferences. Maybe Russell and Wilt, but Wilt was with sixers for a while so same conf as Celtics. Closest thing for NFL would have been if Brady and Manning were in NFC and AFC so they would have played against each other in multiple Super Bowls.

    best passers (regardless of assist numbers) have to include magic, stockton, bird, Bob Cousy, and oscar robertson. i am open to accepting others in the top ten especially a true center (Bill Russell honestly even though he probably mostly got the hockey assists as opposed to true assist)or other big man but if you are looking for true passers bird HAS to be in your top ten as a passer. he literally knows where you are on the court and if you can’t accept that he is as good a passer as anyone, there is a youtube channel that can’t accept that bird was truly great. i won’t mention him by name in a place that puts respect on the best basketball player of my race, just look up bird reactions and scroll. look for a video that says larry is a joke and you’ll find your home.

You also have to remember that he and magic came into the NBA together they pretty much left together and probably the best time they ever had was when the two of them played on the 1992 Olympic dream team and that's when you need to check out 11 Hall of famers one team.

    MJ and LeBron 1 & 2, sorry, you need to do more research... Bird beat all the best in his Era in the playoffs... He was the only one to do it back then... Magic never got past Jordan, but Bird swept Jordan twice... Jordan and the Bulls had a losing record against Bird and the Celtics, and "never" won a playoff game against them (0-6 in playoffs)... Bird's skil set and basketball IQ would carry over to dominate in today's soft league, where most of today's stars would struggle back in Bird's Era... Throw in the medical advancements and he would have played 20 years... But, even though he only played 13 years, 12 were full seasons and he was an All Star for every one of them... It is hard to compare past with present due to the changes in the game and medical advancements, but by the same token, it was tougher in the past than it is now and the longevity factor of today gives more opportunities for stats and such, making current players seem closer to past playets... But in reality, and if you are honest and you compare per Basketball talent / IQ, Bird is top 3 all day long, and LeBron would fall in line lower down... Just My Humble Opinion (from actually watching both play during their primes)...
