secret999 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 He's called Larry Legend for a reason. One of the greatest all around players in history. Give him lebron's athleticism and he'd be the greatest player ever. Quote Link to comment
bongbongman Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I think LBJ is a better SF, he defends better and is a mismatch for almost everyone at that position. But Larry Legend is a better clutch shooter, outside shooter and mentally tougher. That said, LBJ is my choice at SF Quote Link to comment
ray321 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 i like larry bird for his shooting, but LBJ is better overall player than Larry Quote Link to comment
ray321 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 How? Larry Bird never had a meltdown in the playoffs the way Lechoke gave up on the Cavs in the 2010 NBA Eastern semis against the Cs, the 2009 NBA Eastern Finals against the underdog Magic and the 2014 NBA Finals against the Spurs.Larry had a better supporting cast than LeBron had in 2009-2010 cavs. Well the 2014 heat squad finals was indeed a disappointment, but hey it's their rival spurs. theres no shame on losing to TIM DUNCAN, Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard(DPoY, Finals MVP) Quote Link to comment
BoySungkit Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 LBJ... Medyo madaming galit ata kay LeBon dito ah... hehehe Quote Link to comment
junix Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 this is a no brainer. larry legend by a wide margin. Quote Link to comment
ray321 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 you really hate LBJ that much? you keep on calling him lechoke, does he always fades or chokes when the game is on the line? smh Quote Link to comment
ray321 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 wait what? he choked in the 2007 NBA finals 2009ECF and 2010 ECSF? does he had an all star teammates or even good role players that time? you think he can win against prime TD, manu and parker? i think you have a selective memory bro, you only remember LBJ's shortcomings. great players failed in some points of their careers before they succeeded.

*kalel* Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 If both are in their peaks, i will go for larry.... mas marami syang options sa opensa, hindi masyado nagrerely sa lakas ng katawan, mas mautak, consistent shooter pero me penetration at me depensa Quote Link to comment
dencio Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just to put this in perspective - how about the ff. Bird stinkers - Game 6 in the 1980 East Conf Finals (outplayed by Doc), 1981 NBA Finals, 1982 East Conf Finals, 1983 East Conf Finals, 1984 NBA Finals Game 7 (sure the Cs won and Bird was playoff MVP, but it was Maxwell, again, who carried the Celts in the clinching game) and Game 6 of the 1987 NBA Finals. Sure people will say that he contributed in other facets of the game but didn't Lebron do the same? Lest I be accused of being a hater, still believe that Bird is/was the better player, but not by the proverbial mile.

totoygwapo Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 LBJ slightly over Larry Legend... Quote Link to comment
truthseeker8 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Bird. But LBJ isn't done yet. Quote Link to comment
fmulder Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 When we talk about players at this level...there are a lot of them that can fill up a stat sheet...n lebrons is one of them...but what sets great players apart is how they perform in d clutch...when its winning time...and to quote magic johnson...i fear no one but larry bird....nuff said Quote Link to comment

dencio Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 At first, you say this. Then you post this article that contradicts your opinion. Ano ba talaga?  I simply posted an article that's relevant to this thread, for everyone's delectation. Puede naman siguro yon, no? Quote Link to comment
dencio Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Relevant to the thread but that article vitiated your credibility by posting an article that contradicts your opinion. Vitiate my credibility?? Posting an article doesn't mean I agree with it. It could also mean the opposite. Quote Link to comment
dencio Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I already stated my reason for posting the article. If you want to add your own interpretation into that - well, whatever floats your boat, man! As far as this thread is concerned, I've already stated my position and since it's the same as yours, you won't get any further argument from me. Btw, sawa ka na ba makipag-bakbakan sa mga Lebron defenders at pati yung mga maka-Larry eh tinatalo mo na din, hehe ...

Ironmaniac Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Funny comparison - Larry Bird is better than LBJ! Quote Link to comment
dencio Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Larry Bird at 6th and Lebron someplace in the top 5??? Inexplicable! Hope ESPN shares their criteria for the ongoing #NBARank. Quote Link to comment
Guiness Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 On Sports Illustrated, Lebron is ranked 5th, Bird 7th. ESPN ranked Bird 6th. and Lebron 3rd Quote Link to comment
Sir Galahad® Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Let's be honest, calling names while stating facts shows that you have a degree of animosity towards that person. Hehe! We can't pit each other one on one because Lebron is an explosive player and can blow by you. Larry on the other hand is a very smart player and if he gets hot anything he throws will most likely go in. And he is a better shooter. Strength and Speed would go to Lebron, but Larry is the smarter player. And in the 80's where you can do hard, even dirty defense (think John Stockton), Bird plays defense that can annoy the person he is guarding. We never saw Lebron have a scoring Duel with somebody. Bird has a lot of great ones again Wilkins (it's fun to watch those over and over again) For me consistency is Key - I go for Larry Bird. Quote Link to comment
