|
Mar 05th 2013 | 1

|
so we're going to ignore his defense? I'll agree he's not there yet |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 3
|
Kobe is not better than Bird, get the entire fuck outta here. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 4
|
lol my nigga you are all over the board when it comes to Kobe |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 14
|
Those are two different statements. He could be goat scorer and |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 20
|
I think Kobe's offensive repertoire is better |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 24
|
soooooo you're basically saying Kobe's better on offense and defense |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 53
|
yeah, Kobe is prolly the most skilled scorer we'll ever see |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 130
|
his skill set has nothing over mike's |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 132
|
man, i despise both those dudes, but Kobe is a scoring machine |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 141
|
yeah, dude... |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 143

Yup, Phil confirmed it already |

RE: Kobe is not better than Bird, get the entire fuck outta here. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 34
|
and that adds up to what exactly? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 37
|
you weren't even alive to see Bird play?? lol |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 40
|
History is fundamental |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 44
|
More shots went up, but more also went in |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 41
|
what are you going to believe, his eyes or your fancy number tricks? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 |
|
I'm not arguing he wasn't a better rebounder |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 56
|
the number of add'l rebs to be had is not statistically significant |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 58
|
there are more rebounds to be had. he's a 3 and 6'9". it matters |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 62
|
but he was an elite rebounder by any measure so i just dont get it |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 67
|
first of all, I brought up rebounding to put in Birds' plusses over Kobe |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 85
|
and then turned around and tried to de-legitimize it 2 sec later |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 87
|
nuance is not delegitimizing.. It's providing some perspective |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 92
|
so he's getting dinged now for being tall?!?! |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 95
|
WTF? Is there anything in this post where I said Kobe was a comparable |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 99
|
let me be more specific with the numbers, instead of league averages |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 101
|
Kosher..please read my original post about the rebounds |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 106
|
Bird is the best rebounding small forward since the merger |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 80
|
Kobe is, if not the best, one of the best pure scorers ever... |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 88
|
must be why he has a whole 1.2 ppg more than bird |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 90
|
huh? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 |
|
take those seasons away and... |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 97
|
*sigh* does this shit upset you so much that you can't read? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 100
|
the post you replied to was about both ppg and apg |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 111
|
RE: the post you replied to was about both ppg and apg |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 124

well, if you had left it at that without taking shots at bird |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 148
|
RE: well, if you had left it at that without taking shots at bird |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 170
|
yeah and bird played 3 seasons with spine problems |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 102
|
huh? I'm just pointing out Bird's rebounding is more than just a result ... |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 94
|
I don't disagree with you. But his position and height matter when |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 96
|
so does the amt of time Kobe has the ball play into his assisting? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 98
|
Why are you guys talking about his assists? I've given Bird the edge |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 103
|
so what does kobe do better? lol |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 107
|
score, defend, win, and play at a higher level for a much longer |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 113
|
lol...false, false, false, true...1/4 isnt bad |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 116
|
Oh I agree. But Bird was an elite rebounder even for his position/era |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 118
|
fair enough nm |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 123
|
I'd take Bird by a centimeter, eh, honestly it's a toss up |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 181
|
thanks for disagreeing without taking it as a knock on Bird smh. |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 185
|
lol |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 7
|
btw he led the league in DWS 4 times....soooooo.... |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 8
|
and finished top 6 in def rebs 9 times |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 9
|
so whats your point bro? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 10
|
are you making an argument for Bird being a better defender than |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 38
|
u said "ignore his defense" as though it brings his overall game down |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 42
|
ur arguing with a lakers fan. it ain't worth it |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 50
|
not true. I love Bird. I think Kobe is better. Not by much. But better |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 63
|
I said "ignore his defense" because Kobe is a better defender |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 54
|
he was at some point, but thats simply not true in 2013. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 55
|
I've made my point. I believe Kobe is better. I'm still trying to figure |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 59

your eyes are lying to you about what actually happened |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 69

Bird was engineered by god to keep the black race honest |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 19
|
Better than Magic...yep. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 25
|
Bird ain't better than Magic |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 29
|
Bird's prime is actually significantly better than Magic's. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 30
|
BY WHO POWER? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 82

Bird was a better player than Magic. Its a fact. |

|
Mar 06th 2013 | 165

Actually that is exactly how he is better. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 33
|
Bird was a 2 or a 3. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 114
|
Funny how all Magic arguments point to that one rookie game. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 120
|
bird wasn't burly enough to run with 80s 4s |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 128
|
Larry Bird was not a shooting guard. |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 142
|
his career's not as accomplished yet, but he is better than Bird already |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 6
|
No, he's not. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 16
|
Yeah, he is. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 23
|
No, he's not. |

Mar 05th 2013 | 86
|

|
Mar 05th 2013 | 131

|
Mar 05th 2013 | 35
|
Yeah most of these twentysomethings have no clue how good Larry... |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 32
|
which is funny because I am a 20 something...but youre right |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 36
|
I'm 40 and watched him play. Saying Lebron will be better than |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 39
|
"will be better than" =! "is already better than" |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 46
|
I wonder if Bird cares. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 45
|
Low key Bird is more cantankerous than Jordan |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 47
|
The main reason I ask |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 49
|
Low key? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 61
|
I wonder if anybody cares about any of this shit we spew |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 48
|
I meant beyond message board talk |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 52
|
ALREADY maybe is the key word. But he's well on his way. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 43
|
yes. bird better RIGHT TODAY |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 51
|
better career, but Lebron right today is a better player than Bird was |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 60
|
we are all in agreement |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 64
|
I dunno, people seem to mix up better career and better player alot |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 78
|
oh, that was a lot of hate in there |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 81
|
ha, fair enough. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 84
|
Right Today Bron will KILL Bird in a one on one |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 57
|
Cmon of course he would, Larry is 56 now |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 65
|
Imagine what Bird could do to Bron if he got shit on by soft ass Dirk |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 66
|
wat. Dirk is a 7 foot fade away jumpshooter and bron didn't even guard |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 74
|
Dirk hate is still a thing? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 89
|
lol. I'd hope so. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 68
|
so a 60 year old man with a bad back couldnt hang with NBA MVP? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 70
|
Jordan > MKG rite now... |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 110
|
and? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 119
|
terrible arguments. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 72
|
lol, what? This is Bron's prime right now. |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 166
|
if Larry Bird had paid someone to pave his driveway |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 71
|
niggas better hold on to that career achievement argument TIGHT |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 73
|
...arent achievements why people play sports? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 75
|
lmao |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 76
|
it's a question of who is the better individual player in their prime |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 93
|
so why not measure that in....achievements? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 104
|
because it's a team sport? because the best player doesn't always win? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 112
|
Its not a slam dunk for Bron like you think though |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 108
|
Bird played in the hack era that was full of cokeheads, foh |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 115
|
so is Bron better than Magic too alredy? |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 117
|
Valid point |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 125
|
RE: Bird played in the hack era - making his 25 ppg more impressive |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 157
|
nope nope nope nope nope nope nope --will be someones response |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 163
|
Nah. Bird's prime was actually slightly better. |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 77
|
lebron's better than bird ever was...simple as that |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 79
|
lol okay Opie ... LBJ better player and father ... already |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 91
|
when u say "dominated from day 1"... |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 109
|
I mean at 18/19, game 1: 25, 5 and 5 |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 136
|
im having trouble reconciling "domination" and not winning |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 144
|
its a team game |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 151
|
oh I see, let's discount 99% of Wilts career while you reconcile |
|
Mar 07th 2013 | 194
|
Simmons already came through and crushed those buildings |
|
Mar 07th 2013 | 196
|
All I gotta say is career average 10 rebounds per game |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 105
|
Weird metric to judge them by. n/m |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 126
|
not really. |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 160
|
and bird will never average 9 dimes a game |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 127
|
neither will Lebron |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 139
|
i round up....lebron has already averaged 9 dimes in a season |
|
Mar 12th 2013 | 214
|
he would've if he dominated the ball like bron |
|
Mar 12th 2013 | 216

Some of you are some fucking dumb asses who cant read worth shit |
|
Mar 05th 2013 | 129

RE: Those who say LBJ is better than Bird already... |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 137

Bron would make bird look like Greg Kite against him |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 138
|
And Bird's competition >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 147
|
as if Lebron couldn't hang with 80's basketball? |
|
Mar 07th 2013 | 191
|
No, stupid, as in for all the talk about Bird's supporting cast, |
|
Mar 07th 2013 | 195

you can't disput the fact that old heads are giving it up to bron |

Mar 06th 2013 | 180

Kobe's the most overrated defender in NBA history |
|
Mar 06th 2013 | 182
|
as usual, you're going overboard |
|
Mar 07th 2013 | 193
