They just discussed this on espn.

This is crazy. He passed bird on All time scoring but bird was injured for the last few seasons of play. Played 6 games one season, 60 another , and 40 is his last. Imagine if bird had played 20 seasons like mj and some others. Are people forgetting how good the greats were? My god the guy averaged 10 rebounds per game as a sf. Other than that their stats are very close. Blocks, steals, assists, etc... all very close.

LeBron is very good but he's not even the best player in his position today and the game isn't as physical (or fun for that matter) and the teams aren't as good.

 
Is it weird that there is always some white belt with a low post count nobody has heard of who starts a thread that pertains to Kobe or LolBron specifically? hmmmmmmmm
 
In time LeBron will be the GOAT

LOL at all the people who say the game isnt as physical as it once was. Of course its not, but Lebron is the most physically gifted athlete ive ever seen. He would dominate any era

I don't know whether to troll Bird fans and call him a can that could only exist in the shitty 80s, troll Lebron fans and call them white hating racists for downplaying Bird's obvious greatness, or be honest and say that they are pretty much neck and neck, both bring different but valuable skills to any team, and their legacy will pretty much be determined not but their skills but their success in the league when it is all said and done
 
One thing is for sure, they are both well below the one true on the all time list. Neither are in my top 5. Juice isn't in the top 30.
 
Bird would destroy Bern 1 on 1 via hard work and tenacity.

Bird is about three levels above prime Lebron.
 
I doubt Bern could get more than a couple of good shots off if he played Bird.
 
Shootin's for show-offs

Pippen was a better overall player than Bern and Bird destroyed Pippen.



Bird > Pippen > Bern
