Magic/Bird are essentially put on a pedestal despite playing w/ MULTIPLE HOFers their ENTIRE career & not having won more titles than Tim b/c they saved the league from the crack era.
The thing I don't get is how they are still people that argue Bird is better than Tim. Tim beat's Bird when it comes to All NBA teams, championships, total MVPS when you combine regular season and finals mvps. Tim also has longevity on Bird but still some will argue Bird was better.

Magic/Bird are essentially glued to the Top 5 b/c they saved the league from the crack era when games were being broadcasted on tape delay.
