[QUOTE=miles berg]No, he wasn't loki. You gotta realize that 1993 is over man. I really enjoy your rants sometimes but you live so far in the past I doubt you can even see the future.[/quote]
Dude, look at videos of Bird. Dirk doesn't even approach Bird's general quickness. I'm talking on foot-fakes, ball fakes, and first step.
Seriously, most people can see this. I'm talking '81-'86 Bird here, btw.
[quote]I mean that in a nice way. You gotta get over the past, it isn't like the game today at all. It is 10x's faster, quicker, and more athletic today with better players, athletes, doctors, trainers, and a far better coaching pedigree available to kids starting at the age of 4 and lasting until they retire in their 30s or 40s.[/QUOTE]
Bird was averaging 20/10/7 in 1992 at age 35 with crippling back and neck injuries. The game hasn't changed so much from 1992, sorry. A player of Bird's ability and skill is timeless. He'd be a 25/9/6 player [i]at a minimum[/i] today.
I still can't believe you think Dirk is better able to create shots than Larry Bird. :oldlol: Man...Bird is one of the 3 most skilled offensive players [b]ever[/b] imo. I know for sh!t sure that he wouldn't get shut down like Dirk's been several times by (significantly) smaller opponents. His footwork was significantly better, his off the ball movement was WORLDS better, he was a better offensive rebounder, better finisher, comparable/better shooter, far better post player, and had a better handle.
I prefer this one.

The jumpshot that Larry takes at 3:06 is the cleanest jumpshot I've ever seen.

:no:
[B]He id be 25/9/6 player between ages 31-35 on...
At ages 22 to 30 Bird would be a 28-30/10-12/ 7-9 player and under todays rules & lack of fundamentals... some 2-3 years above that.[/B]

Do you know what "at a minimum" means? It's the worst case scenario.

[quote=TmacsRockets]How close or far apart would Lebron, CP3, Duncan be in comparison to Bird?[/quote]
He would be in the good player gap of today's game, not the great. Larry Bird is not physically gifted enough to compare with today's players. He would however get a fraction (a strong fraction) of his points, assists, and rebounds through pure fundamentals. On the defensive end however Bird would be a crutch to a team today, due to his lack of athletic ability.
(and about Bird being comparable to Dirk...Since when was Larry Bird 7'0''?)
