fmulder Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Lebron may have the superior physical skills but as pat riley said about magic and larry ..they possess a special set of skills that separate them from everyone else ...also to all lebron supporters ,hav you ever heard the word choke associated with the play of larry bird ..enough said Quote Link to comment

Lebron may have the superior physical skills but as pat riley said about magic and larry ..they possess a special set of skills that separate them from everyone else ...also to all lebron supporters ,hav you ever heard the word choke associated with the play of larry bird ..enough said talent wise? lebron is better?hmmm... passing will go to birddefense, bird again... guarding the likes of worthy, blackman, ellis, english, wilkins plus the pfs nance, malone and olajuwon when the twin towers of houston were around...shooting undoubtedly birdmovement without the ball, malamang kay bird ito kasi hindi naman sya on top of the key guyrebounding... bird again...physicality bird again, because bird plays the power forward position when mchale or picney is on the bench plus bird played without the handcheck ruleball handling... watch youtube to be convinced that bird is better james is more athletic but talent wise it still goes to bird...bird is more fundamentally sound and much much more effective.

dfgvan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) if you guys don't believe me that bird is better than lebron... then watch this... skills wise, physicality, all aspects goes to bird, add lang natin may post up pa si bird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULvo7__wwBU Edited October 7, 2012 by dfgvan Quote Link to comment

Jasonkidd Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 these two players is considered to be the best..one is already one of the greatest while the others will sone be.. i cant argue with u anymore but that is my opinion in which i believe many will agree with me.. Lebron must learn to trust and believe in himself if not he will not achieve anything. he dont have the heart of MJ, Bird, Magic etc.. Quote Link to comment
dfgvan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Mr. JasonKidd, if I may ask what is your age range? Have you have watched how the game was played in the 70s, 80s and 90s?The most that I can compare lebron would be dominique wilkins Quote Link to comment

dfgvan Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 yep tied sa blocks... look at the stats career blocks ni bird and james are both at .8also have you watched bird's games? have you seen him block a player? it may not be as emphatic as james' but still as effective. given those criterion which is comprised of skill sets...say who is better at each category...

alberto_ Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 i think larry bird had chronic backpain/spasm his whole playing career. what if mj, kobe or even lbj and those players deemed better than larry bird have it? Quote Link to comment
dfgvan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) he got that injury ng 1985 or 86 i think...anywho, for ranking purposes bird, magic, mj, bill (not walton), alcindor, wilt, west (nba logo), stockton, malone, duncan, pippen and isaiah are on a different level compared to the rest.
