James Worthy:  "Jordan made you look slow, but Bird made you look stupid."

@justinpitcock5312

Rodman still hating all these years later because he’s supposedly the best defender ever and Bird always smoked him. Bird’s still living in dudes head rent free.

@randyhuke3773

Bird would be even better in today's NBA

@markstanton2362

Bird's road to the finals was much harder than the Lakers' road to finals

@MarkFreeman-kd2hz

So glad I got to watch Larry,  Magic, & Jordan on t.v.😮. That will never happen again. 😢 Best basketball 🏀 ever!!! Today is just not as exciting 😢

@ezcapehax7033

Player, Coach, and Executive of the Year. He stands alone on the top.

@RoofDoctorsJoanne

Bird for about 4 years in the mid 1980's was as good as anyone who ever laced them up. & i was a Sixers fan.

@writerseye

Players today would want technicals called on Bird for taunting.. He's hurting our feelings by telling us the play ahead of time and then making the shot anyways...he's taunting us... 😂😂

@kenfcarzn

Man these dudes are crazy! Do you understand how crazy good Bird would be in todays game? All he had to is stand behind the 3pt line a shoot open shots he would torch every team

@robertswift6101

Larry Bird is one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game period !!!!

@InvisibleKnight7

That’s such a big factor in today’s game - today’s players have not studied and learned from the past players. No development after high school.

@mikelogan3816

Imagine Larry bird playing in a league where no 1 would be allowed to touch him

@chriswilliams5982

What I find ironic is they say he couldn’t play in today’s game. Well these crybabies couldn’t play in Larry’s day. Now you stub your toe you sit out four weeks. In the 80’s you played through pain and you had to be physical and ready to fight.

@monsieurqueeley2197

The Legendary Larry Bird was a man amongst men. His stats and championships speaks for itself.

@HaroldCarlisle-h8n

Larry Bird was flat out good, I don't care what era it is. He would dominate any era.

@scott783

Well Dennis Rodman, I witnessed bird kick your ass first hand , so , if he would be in Europe , you would be in Siberia!

@2GunRock

The 80's Celtics/Lakers rivalry was the best I've ever seen. So evenly matched, two of the best players in their primes, one on each team, great supporting casts, and the games were so competitive. Bulls dynasty was the best once they got rolling, but they had no real competition to challenge them. Celtics/Lakers - flip a coin?
That matchup had you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It was almost surreal.

@kurtsherrick2066

Dennis Rodman was a great Rebounder and Defensive Player. But he has never been accused of being smart.

@JAMESGANG-f5u

The intent behind Rodmans statement 
-jealous
-racist
-quickest way to get his own name in the headlines

@MrPocketfullOfSteel

I was soooo fortunate, to have been born in1966, here in Cincinnati. Hoops wise, Boston and Larry filled that ONLY void (sports wise) that I had in between baseball and the gridiron. I consider myself EXTREMELY fortunate as a kiddo, then as a teen, to witness such greatness. It's like, everyone else on the court had "pushed in the clutch & down shifted" whenever Larry and Boston were on TV. After maybe, three years, I realized why. Because I was watching ABSOLUTELY UNEQUIVICABLY, the BEST hoops player ever. There simply was Larry and everyone else was fighting it out for #2 etc. etc. There has been NOTHING that has even been close, since he left and IMO - there never will be. Those were the most INCREDIBLE Celtic teams I have ever had the privilege of watching. Thanks Larry!!!!
