Reliable at what? Making a free throw? Sure. But Jose Caulderon is even more reliable.

What is with your fascination with Calderon?
Larry Bird was just a more complete player. LeBrons all around game with Jordan's killer instinct and Ray Allen's shooting.

LeBron's awesome...but Larry Bird was the better basketball player.
Damned him with faint praises.

It may seem like a knee-jerk reaction, and maybe it is. But just the overall body of work for LeBron at this point is making me reconsider his position. He has just never been the guy to consistently take over when needed. He can do it in flashes but not at the level Bird displayed.

knee-jerk? Oh hell nah... Bird scored 10+ pts in the 4th and finished it with an eyes closed game winner in every competitive game there was.
Bird just went from 7 to top 5 in the last 6 months
He really been playing outta his mind these last few months..

This says it all. They are close even right now. By the time LeBron retires it won't be a real debate--unless you go with the "eye test" or "I just think he was better" route. In terms of resume and accomplishments LeBron will blow Bird out the water career for career. Bird and Magic have the worst longevity of anyone in the top 10 all-time and it shortens their resumes.

You just said LeBron is out of the top 5 and went ahead to list:
"
Kareem
Duncan
Bird
Jordan
Magic"

Bird beats him in everything but points. And thats because his teams were stacked.

These are two types of lists... this list is obviously a position-based list. You really think Id have Jordan 4th? How can you not comprehend this?

How about this genius........ THEY'RE NOT IN ORDER?!
Ever think about that one? This mofo acting like it was obvious.. continue your knee-jerk, stick to Bird for the cute stories and "eye test". LeBron's a flat out more dominant player on both ends.

Okay then, my fault I should have listed the positions and made it more obvious. My fault.
