Where would you rank Larry Bird all time?
Posted on 6/7/22 at 1:01 am
Posted on 6/7/22 at 1:01 am
Top 3/5?
53

Best SF of all time
Posted on 6/7/22 at 1:38 am to lsudepression
Maybe slightly ahead of Duncan, so top tier.
Posted on 6/7/22 at 2:24 am to lsudepression
For me? Second behind Jordan. For others. Top 5

Prime Bird is a Top 5 player of all-time...easily.
He walked into the league and dominated immediately.
Larry Bird finished top 2 in MVP votes every year from 1981 to 1988 He finished 2nd,2nd,2nd,1st,1st,1st,2nd,and 2nd. This streak began during only his second season in the league.
Bobby Knight said Bird had maybe the best hand-eye coordination of any basketball player ever.
He could've won 6 NBA MVPs in a row but writers back then weren't giving it to the young guys.
Problem is he basically broke his back and his career was too short.
But from 1980-1988. Damn.

Top 10: Took a 32 and 29 win team (the 2 years prior) to 61 wins in his first year. Won it all in year 2.
Ended up winning 2 more and frankly when you compare him to the LA Lakers and Philly 76ers of that era -- he had less help.

1. Jordan
2. Shaq
3. Bird
4. Kobe
5. Magic
6. Kareem
8. Duncan

I conducted my top 10 on raw talent and pure dominance, somebody you would pick on a video game to make a “super team.” I’m not factoring playoff wins or finals wins

Number 2, Behind only Joe Burrow, for top athlete in any sport, All Time.
Posted on 6/7/22 at 5:49 am to lsudepression
Probably 3.
Posted on 6/7/22 at 6:11 am to lsudepression
Did you see him play ? Just curious.
Posted on 6/7/22 at 6:46 am to lsudepression
Lebron
Mj
Bird

Id have to look at who i would put ahead of him first
MJ
Lebron
Magic
Kareem
Shaq
Kobe
so 7 I guess can't really justify putting anyone else ahead of him. I guess you could argue about Kobe or Shaq to get him top five. Top 4 are pretty solid on my list.

I say 5-10 range and closer to 5. MJ, Wilt, Russell, and Lebron all have good arguments for GOAT. So Bird is somewhere in the mix right after that of Magic, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq.

In my own personal rankings, he's number 2 behind Michael Jordan. He did things on the basketball court that only he could do. He said that Pete Maravich was the only player that he ever played with that saw the court the same way he did.
The man was an artist out there.

Can we just pin a "Hot take: Larry Bird was under-rated" thread to the top of MSB already? I feel like I see a new one pop up once a week

He's definitely in my Top 1,000 of All time, he would be a waterboy for the Top 10.
Posted on 6/7/22 at 9:46 am to lsudepression
Top 5
Posted on 6/7/22 at 10:54 am to lsudepression
3-4 range, could make a strong argument for 2
