Luka is a better version of Larry

Reverse that breh. Larry is what people keep trying to hype Luka up to be. Larry got boards with one of the greatest front lines in history, better passer, decision maker and shooter. Is Luka a better driver? Yes. Bird got his numbers playing off ball, Luka has the ball most of the time. Luka is dope but he isn't Larry Legend.

Would you put Larry over Dirk?

There’s a story I can’t find about some shyt where college players or rookies (including Jordan) were practicing in the same gym as nba players, and the college players ball rolled over to the pros side and jordan was like “yo little help” and bird took it and chucked the ball to the far end of the gym and told him to go get it :mjlol:

Breh was an ass just to be an ass :skip:

A bad elbow kept him in the Holiday Inn while his teammates lost Game 3 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. That was bad enough. But when the Cleveland fans and moronic electronic media had the audacity to cry, "We want Bird!" Larry needed no more motivation to suit up for Game 4. "They don't know what they're saying," he snarled. "They don't want me. They don't want no part of me. I'm gonna throw both barrels at 'em." It was vintage WWF. It was vintage Larry Bird. He made sure he came out early for warmups. He waved to the crowd. He took a lap around the floor. And then he buried the Cavs with 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists. Talk about John Wayne clearing the room . . . "I loved it," he said. "I loved every minute of it."

Larry: "I remember one of the referees came up to me before the game and said that if the crowd came out of the stands they would protect me. Oh, I had the fans riled up, but I knew we'd play well because I knew the other players would back me up. I was ready to play that night."
