Bird or Kobe. The 3-point shot can't be overlooked in today's game.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

For the sake of this question are we going to assume that the player is in their Prime at the point they are drafted? Or do we also have to realize the patience needed for them to develop into their Prime. Kobe was not a prolific 3-point shooter in the earlier part of his career.

They come into the league as they were when drafted, and peak/get hurt at the same time. But they'd develop a bit differently I'm sure.

Bird. Hard to turn down 50/40/90 potential with dimes and boards.

Why would they come into the league in their prime? Use your fucking brain for once.

Larry Bird.

And tell him if he does his own physical labor at home his contact is immediately voided.

:D

Followed closely by Duncan, somewhat closely by Kobe, and very distantly by Wilt.

I'm not trolling anyone. I'm calling you out for constantly being stupid AF.

But go ahead and defend your position. Why would they be in their prime?
Defend my position? Wtf. Go away "geologist". Go look at some rocks or something I'm busy.

Probably Bird just because he's by far the best shooter in the bunch and it's so much more a shooter's league now. His other great skills (passing and reboubding) don't hurt either in this era either obviously.

Bird for sure. He'd light it up in today's game and probably be the best player in the league.

The game today would be way too fast for Larry Bird. Especially on defense you'd be a major liability
