...and remember folks, he was dominating during the greatest Era in NBA history. I mean, imagine how many Rings Larry Legend would own if he got a free-pass to the Finals every year like LeFreeRide.

Look at the Passing... light-years better than James. Look at the lights-out shooting (in an era where the 3-point shot was rare... imagine if he practiced the shot hours and hours every day)... vastly superior to James. The Rebounding, the Scoring, the drop-dead, ice-cold Clutch play...

LeIcanOnlyWinWhenIgetToHandPickMyOwnTeam just doesn't measure up.

Bird = greatest SF in NBA history, folks... and don't let anyone tell you any different.

LeBron is the second best player ever (or at least in the discussion).
Deal with it and move on.

His resume puts him firmly in the discussion.

Why wouldn't he be on par with the likes of Magic, Kareem, and Russell?

I make fun of you because you're a caricature. Big difference. You try far harder to get my attention than I do to get yours. Truth hurts eh Glory Days.

Bird is the greatest player in NBA history, and the single biggest reason why the league is still alive today. Jordan had to wait for Birds injured back before he could start winning titles.

Red Auerbach termed him the second greatest Celtic of all time. Considering their storied history - high praise indeed.

Bron > Bird. Equal # chips. More MVPs more finals MVPs more finals appearances. More Ppg, more APg. More games played. More durable. Light years better D. Shit he even has more gold medals.

I don't give a rat's ass about your dumb ass, though... you, on the other hand, follow me around like a bitch.

Fact.

It's almost as if Glory Days and his sheeple don't want players of yore to ever be replaced - regardless if those guys themselves surpassed past players of their own.

Again... Bird owns many more rings if he got a free-pass to the Finals every year.

Bird was a better Passer, better Rebounder, vastly superior Shooter, more Clutch... James does have one distinct advantage though: His Defense is grossly Over-rated. Nothing about Bird, however, was over-rated.

Why would he?

His resume speaks for itself.

From the rings to the accolades to his impact on the game...few have ever done what he has. And if he beats the Warriors in the finals next year? Jordan, for the first time ever, has some real competition for his throne.

LeBron doesnt need 6 rings to be considered the best ever.
