1 on 1 Lebron can guard Bird but Bird can't guard Lebron.
[QUOTE=Kblaze8855]Better defenders than Lebron didnt lock him down I dont see why he would.[/QUOTE]
I love Bird but come one man? Better SF defenders than Lebron who used to guard Bird? In the 80s? Can you give me one name? Have a hard time recalling any better SF defenders than Lebron in the 80s ... There was indeed perhaps some better defender in the 80s, but none could have guarded Bird better than Lebron.... they were to tall or to undersized like the 6'5/170lbs Cooper.... all were mismatches... Pippen was around, but im not entirely sure that rookie/soph was a better defender...
Hm.. who could it be.. are you maybe thinking of Bobby Jones? He had the size / strength to guard Bird... but Bobby was way out of his prime and retired in the early 80s...
Even if you want to have it your way, then lets just say Lebron would be able to guard Bird much better than Bird could guard him..... agree? :)
This is basically like comparing Jordan to Kobe. Though they are the two best ever at their positions, one player is clearly much better and more dominant than the other. LeBron would make an absolute mockery out of Bird.

Lebron couldnt even outscore jason terry let alone dirk. How is he going to compete with a better version of dirk?
:roll:
Not sure who would win, but I don't see Bird stopping Lebron. Too strong and too fast for Bird. Due to the strength mismatch, Lebron might be able to get a few stops on Bird.
On the other hand, Bird is a much better shooter than Lebron.

LeBron abuses guys like Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Ron Artest, Luol Deng and other elite and athletic defenders, yet you think an unathletic, slow, small and terrible defender in Larry Bird stands a chance against LeBron?:roll:
Logic clearly isn't your strong suit. I'm out.

you are overrating lebron
If you play basketball you know that if there are two players of similar size and skill the game can go anyway. Why are people going out and disrespecting bird? Bird has a competitive edge that lebron seems to not have, in basketball mental toughness and belief in yourself eclipses athleticism and potential every time. The man played a game only finishing with his left for the sake of it i mean cmon. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R76nMD8buR8[/url]
Just because you guys perceive Lebron as this 1 on 1 master doesn't make it true.

it's ironic because a poor mans bird beat Lebron in the finals :roll:
One on One to 11: Bird 11-4
