Larry Bird


Going a different route here. He’s as good as it gets as dare as being an all around player. Great scorer rebounder passer and defender. Volume shooter that was a part of the 50/40/90 club




Larry the GOAT?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

While he’s considered one of the best I think he’s underrated as a player and might be as good or better than LBJ. Think if Larry has played in this era, he’d shoot a lot more. He’s a great rebounder as good a passer as LBJ and would score more today than in the 80’s and a great defender

 

[TheTrippleThreat]

Larry Bird is just a wonderful player. He could fit in to any team in any era becuase he was such a smart player. The highlight where he steals the ball on a inbound play and then hits the buzzer beater for the win has to be the most clutch play ever.
