Would use against Bird. 13 years is plenty of years. The other points are fair but to say longevity plays any role against bird is ridiculous.

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

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

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

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

never trust a man with a personal goat.

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