Not enough longevity imo

scootsy

he definitely had enough longevity to be my own personal GOAT.

He should have let someone else work on his Mom's driveway.

Yeah 13 years... I see your point. 12 if you don't count the injury year

Michael Jordan played 13 w/the Bulls, Bird played 13. Both played long enough

BYUfan92

They both played 13 years, yet MJ scored 11,000 more points, 1,000 more steals,

scootsy

2/14/17 6:23pm

they also played very different positions, you cherry picked stats, and those you used have nothing to do with

Its an issue when you're talking GOAT status. You can't be GOAT it you aren't

scootsy

2/14/17 7:04pm

nobody is saying he's the actual GOAT. ribo said that he is his PERSONAL goat. big difference.

I was going to rebut a few points of yours, but there is no need when you

scootsy

2/14/17 10:17pm

you make an interesting point.

I'm sorry but longevity is the last argument you

I'm not trying to knock Bird off of any platform than GOAT. Undisputed HOF'er.

scootsy

MJ. Though LeBron is getting closer. He's unbelievable.

2/14/17 4:26pm

I'm pretty sure ribo said Bird

2/14/17 4:35pm

Love Bird, one of my faves. In fairness to modern day guys however I do think

riboflavin

Me neither, just saying media these days is totally different and if they had

BYUfan92

LeBron's passive aggressiveness sets himself up for a lot of flak

BlackBart

never trust a man with a personal goat.

Have you ever read his autobiography? I liked it.

RdF3

Crush4

2/14/17 4:55pm

Top all time for sure but not even close to GOAT

Paul Hewson

2/14/17 6:31pm

It's ok for him to be your personal GOAT. The case for him as GOAT statistically
