You would take Larry Bird over LeBron? In a basketball game?

What's funny is all the posters who were too young to appreciate the talent, spout off against guys who've seen both the

You old guys are blinded by nostalgia. Athletes in every sport are better today than they were 30+ years ago

Everyone looks good when they don't have to follow the rules

Division Bell

If your argument is that “refs missed calls against LeBron = Jordan is better,” that’s a really dumb argument

RealTaysomHill

Mar 28, 6:01pm

Do you really want to tally up and compare all the travels? LeBron would lose.

No. Like I said, it’s a really dumb argument

Refs asked MJ for shoes/autographs at games but sure they gave him a bad whistle

You put Larry or Jordan from back then with today science and they improve too

That’s a very convenient hypothetical. Not sure it’s true

Larry Bird is playing in the NBA today. And is dominating. His name is just Nikola Jokic.

Thats an excellent comparison.

Maybe if you’ve never watched either play and only seen a picture of them.

You’re wrong but that’s ok. Larry wasn’t better than Magic. LeBron is better

Kobe? Revisionist history mucho. Dude was amazing but he's lucky to make the top 10. Prob 8-12 range.

dryflyelk

Yeah, he wasn't very efficient on offense. He shot a high volume.

It's amazing how few people actually care about data. He's a great player but might be one of the most overrated.

It makes me wonder who really would be #2? Top 5? If we dug into the data?

You could make a solid argument for Kareem. He and MJ are top 2 for sure
