    I'll wait for Korvers and Red s similar videos when they retire since they're all basically the same player
    I didn't say they were the same player

    I said that's the only way for a White American player to succeed today, they need to be a specialist..facts, it isn't even debatable..

    It's not like there's a shortage of White pro athletes, they're more athletic than ever..they're dominating the Tight End position, many great linebackers/pass rushers, there are elite athletes in baseball, etc..it just doesn't translate to basketball, the combination of athleticism/height/length/skill isn't there..

    Believing that Larry Bird's dominance was legit is pretty silly, it's like believing Jesus's miracles

    Dude, I couldn't give less of a about Bird. I'm also well outside the black/white war. I just call it like I see it. If some no name red neck would say anything like that about a black icon, he would get called a racist and be bullied out of his job.

    I understand the history, but at some point you gotta get past that.
    If the "reward" for being treated anywhere from second class citizens to vermin throughout history, is that "blacks" get to supposedly be more liberal with thinly veiled, racially charged comments, why would that be an issue?

    You couldn't sound more ignorant.

    You are the one justifying racism in the verge of the year 2019 and I'm the ingorant one?

    Let it go son. Remember it, always have it in mind, learn from it, but don't let the anger consume you. These are different times, people is more open minded, caring and loving. Spread love, not hate and bitterness.

    Racists love to pigeon hole whitey. Dude, Bird owned everyone's ass in his era; no exceptions.

    America is the land of immigrants (many have no connection to those times). As an immigrant, I don't want to hear their whining and from my experience neither does the growing hispanic population. Just makes me want to avoid them and this victimhood

    Not surprisingly, you missed the point, which was, if that's what came from substandard treatment (which still exists to this day), it's not worth complaining about.

    Easy for you to say. It's not consuming me, I just don't suffer fools. When I see ignorant comments, I can't help but check the person.

    no one is really putting up much of an effort to contest his shots besides some half assed arm raising... i dont think he could get his shot off in the modern nba tbh

    At scoring/shooting, sure.
    But no he was not.
    So you admit that Bird was better because bird was just as good as magic at everything else.

    Regarding the thread le, that's a meaningless statement unless we have an operational definition of "transformational player."

    Regarding Bird vs Magic, I vote Bird mainly because he was a better scorer.

    HE was the better scorer but obviously longevity of prime matters. I agree with Amb Bird had the better peak but Magic had the greater career and greater impact. Again not even worth a debate people already have done it plenty you are where you are on the debate it won't change

    You're absolutely crazy. Not to mention uninformed in the history of the game.

    It's easier to get shots off today than it's probably ever been (can't speak to pre-1970's). Freedom of movement, no handchecking, no Jordan rules, relaxed rules on dribbling/carrying etc.

    If Larry Bird could accomplish what he accomplished during an era where you could push, pull, grab, hit, and sometime tackle a player -- I think he'd be alright in today's game where you can't blink at a player w/o drawing a foul.

    It'd be far easier for a super star player transported from 1987 to excel today than it would be for a super star player to be transported back to the 80's and 90's and do the same. I'm not saying impossible, but less likely.

    Kobe Bryant, for example, would still be a star player back in 1987. So would LeBron. And Tim Duncan. But Steph Curry would have an awful hard time acclimating to the physicality. Think if 'Jordan Rules' were applied to him. Not to mention how dribbling rules have changed with palming and euro steps that couldn't be executed the same.

    Michael Jordan averaged 37 points a game in '86-'87. If he could do that then, what could he do today when they couldn't touch him? Just think about it.

    Larry Bird would be one of the best players playing today. Probably even better than many think because, if adapting to the new style of shooting volume threes, he'd destroy.
