30/10/10 in peak prime.

while barely dribbling and touching the ball. let alone hogging it.

Literally dragged garbage Indiana state to NCAA finals only to lose to Magic Man and Spartans.

3 Consequitive MVPs. beating Magic over and over. becoming the Best player of 80s decade.

2 MVP SWEEPS:
------------------
1984 MVP+FMVP (arch nemisis Tragic Magic defeated);
1986 MVP+FMVP (Hakeem + Ralph twin towers defeated).

Destroyed Magic Johnson for 1980 ROTY honors. 93 votes to Larry, 3 votes to Magic

Created a Dynasty that should've won 5 rings in 80s decade had they didn't ran into better teams in Magic-Kareem's LAL, Dr J-Moses' PHI, Bad Boys Illegal defense.

Had Bird did not run into LAL, PHI like better teams, Bird would've had 5 rings just like Magic. Bird's 2 Painful loses are against Magic's LAL.

ESPN and Klutch sports and NBA deliberately disrespects Bird because he is Caucasian, anglo saxon, white man who they think he OVERaccomlished with that non-athletic, lanky, muscle less body wearing short shorts.

Never has media ever respected Bird's brilliant IQ, mind games, trash talk and supreme confidence. Because he is white.

Little they give credit to 1998 Bird that he could've won Ring as a Head Coach had he not run into GOAT and 1998 BULLS.

1998 jazz-pacers finals. Jazz stood no chance. 1998 Pacers with Head Coach Bird were Franchises best team ever. better than 2000 finalist.

This GOAT List shall never change:

#1 GOAT
#2 Wilt
#3 Kareem
#4 Magic
#5 Bird

Rest of them never belonged in top 5. all media driven. fans playing favorites.

Peak Bird at 30/10/10 and 50/90/38% could be the best player to ever play the game. I mean, pure, head coaches' dream leader.

The only reason Larry Bird can't be the GOAT is because that space is occupied by the one and only...

All that bluster and you still have Magic over him. Why?

Somehow a guy won the MVP award 3 times without getting any respect from the media. I guess that just makes him even more amazing.

Because I MUST be reasonable unlike other IHF fanboys, kobe'tards and bronsexuals included.

Magic Johnson Vs Larry Bird has 2-1 Record in the NBA Finals. unfortunately, Magic has a winning record. Better team with much better Center in Kareem.

All Larry had to do is equal Magic with 1-1 or 2-2 or 3-3, Bird would've stolen #4 from Magic. Because, Bird was clearly a better player than Magic.

2-1 record makes Magic look to be better leader, better floor general in the clutchest situation. which may not be true.

But again. Magic has a winning record in highest pressure situatons. So, He edges out Bird. If people want to switch both. I've no problem. as long as both are in Top 5 GOATs. good enough.

I have Bird in the top five, behind Jordan, Russell, Wilt, and Kareem.

The Legend of Larry Bird, The Head Coach

Just imagine if lesser talent like Kobe doing this as Head Coach....

The stories NBA, ESPN would've made out of.......

Instead, Larry is just another token white Head Coach with ZERO credit

This should be the consensus top 5.

Absolute clown take from the OP.
In head to head Finals, Bird only beat Magic ONCE.

Hes great.....hes white.....and the reason both he and Magic have generally been fringe top 5 in recent times is due to defense. Thats all. Nothing more, nothing less.
