THIS. Bird would drop 25-30 a game, 10 rebounds and 7-8 assists a game in my opinion and would be right up there among the top players in the league.

So basically Bird would do things Lebron and Kobe haven't been close to doing?.....:dead: @ this bullshyt. :dead: @ the thought of Bird as the best player in todays league.

:mjpls: in his prime didn't even get those kind of numbers against niccas like Craig Ehlo but Bird finna do that against todays athletes :dead:.

I hope you are trolling because if you are not, you are ignorant of Bird's career stats. Larry was producing numbers similar to Lebron's career stats with a higher rebound numbers. This the guy who took many legendary players to school with sound fundamental skills and high bball IQ. If Larry was to play today, his skills, wet jumper, and the confidence he have will make him into an all-star.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Bird's numbers would take a hit from the slower pacing, and there are better perimeter defenders today than there were in the 80s. But, he'd still be one of the top 5 players today without question.

We're 1 year removed from Kevin Love averaging 26 and 13 on 45% shooting and Bird wouldn't put up numbers?

I really think he'd be the 2nd best player in the league behind Bron. I think a prime Bird could put up 25, 10, and 5 in today's game while being a perennial 90-50-40 guy in terms of shooting percentages.

He'd be the ultimate stretch 4 in today's league and a matchup nightmare every single night.
