Young Larry Bird told a reporter about Rookie MJ, "That guy is gonna be GOAT"

[1987_Lakers]

Is it Safe to say Rookie Jordan owned Peak Bird?

Rookie MJ? Maybe.

But Bird made MJ his bitch from '86-'88.



Game 3 of the 1987 first round.

Bird had 32/14/6 and hit for 15 fourth quarter points. A young MJ though struggled with his shooting and would get 30 points on only 9/30 shooting.

Bulls had a 7 point lead with 11 minutes left in the fourth. Celtics however went on a Bird-led run in the fourth and completed the sweep. Jordan shot 0/8 in the fourth but did convert 5 free throws.

Maybe??

Does that tell you anything at all about the idiotic comparison you are trying to make?

Do teammates come into this at all? Or are we discussing a tennis match-up here?

Just stop posting, you are embarrassing yourself, even for brontard standards..

But keep embarrassing yourself. Who am I to stop a brontard at work?

Embarrassing myself? You used head to head games from 1992 when Bird had the back of an 80 year old man.

Fake news af.

Larry said this in 1984.

He was not referring to rookie MJ.

He was referring to a newborn child in Akron, Ohio.

“That guy is gonna be GOAT.”

Missed this post. Agreed 100% brother.

Hey, shithead, when you are making statements like this: ‘Is it Safe to say Bird owned Jordan’, you have to use all games, and not cherry-pick. Maybe you would like to rephrase that to something more realistic, such as:

‘Is it Safe to say that prime Bird, while playing for a dream-team, owned young Jordan and his awful teammates’.

Except, that wouldn’t be true as well






Absolutely, not true. Their H2H stats are out there, anyone can find them.

I am bored, so I am only going to cite their H2H from MJ’s rookie year:

MJ: 27 p. (50FG%), 2 r., 2 a., 2 s., 1 b.
LB: 14 p. (35.3FG%), 17 r., 3 a., 0 s., 2 b.


2) 12/22/1984 - Rookie Jordan vs Peak Larry:

MJ: 32 p. (66.7FG%), 12 r., 8 a., 0 s., 3 b.
LB: 10 p. (21FG%), 7 r., 4 a., 0 s., 0 b.


3) 1/9/1985 - Rookie Jordan vs Peak Larry:

Body bagged

[Hey Yo]

I can’t understand you, wait…

H2H: Jordan: 38.1 mpg, Larry: 39.4 mpg

*Brontard ‘logic’ on*

So, you are trying to argue that, although their games were blowouts, Bird instead of resting, preferred to stay in the game and stat-pad?

Gotcha

Bird didn't call the shots, K.C did.

Lesson over.

[TheMan]

There isn't a dumber sports fan base than the Bronsexuals, they constantly get called out not only here but on social media for how stupid they are. Colin Cowherd, Shannon Sharpe, Nick Wright and Kendrick Perkins are the embodiment of these idiots, and those guys are routinely called out for there idiot takes

Embarrassing myself? You used head to head games from 1992 when Bird had the back of an 80 year old man.

Oh, I am sorry.

I truly apologise for this.

Do you want me to use rookie Jordan's stats vs peak Bird, instead?

He cherrypicks when it's convenient, he's well know for it.

So you admit your mistake. I'm glad you learned your lesson.

The funny thing is, my post in the 1st page was an obvious copy and paste from another user that posted it here like 10 years ago, I must say, I posted it for shits and giggles but I did not expect so many people to have a meltdown over it.

I had to explain to TheMan it was a copy/paste, he even thought I typed it myself, despite me posting it 1 minute after OP created this thread. MJ stans are not very bright.

[TheMan]

You're getting massacred here so bad you're now back tracking, "I copy pasted it for shits and giggles..."

Riiiiiight

Hug this L tightly and move on bro
