you are looking at logic...others are looking at skin color...despite what you write....many are too insecure to concede even obvious points.
it goes beyond homerism....it's based on fact that Bird was a legitimately great white player, so some feel like they have to hold his banner up and tell lies in hypothetical situations.
same element of ish who wrote repeatedly about Dirk's "heroic" playoff run last year..even though that term in sports is usually used for guys that are hurt.
Emmit Smith suffered a separated collarbone in a playoff game against the Giants.....came back in toughed it out....and his team won...THAT was heroic..
Isiah Thomas almost single handedly won the pistons first ring against lakers on a banged up ankle..that was heroic
Zo came back from major kidney surgery to play in the league again.....THAT was heroic
Dirk had a SPECTACULAR tear through the playoffs and came up huge when his team needed him to....but "heroic"???????
I agree. I really feel bird has somehow amassed this paul bunyan like stature. I've already stated my feeling pippen would win one on one doesn't make pippen a better basketball player than bird. But pippens skillset is gonna hold truer than birds in a game of 1 on 1. Why they can't get this is baffleing
