yea, there's not really a legitimate argument to be made regarding Kobe being better than Bird. Bird was just a better basketball player. Criminally underrated passer. One of the best passing front court players of all time.

And there's no "bu bu bu kobe played with shaq excuse" when Bird played his entire career with a super stacked squad... mchale and parish pretty much the best frontcourt ever..mchale is in the argument with Dream as having the GOAT post game...26pt & 10rb and 18 & 11 a night from your starting pf and c > 29pt & 13rb and 8pt & 7rb from your starting c and pf...bean's also the better 2way player for his career...add in longevity and the fact bird will come out of his own mouth and pay homage and it's a no brainer...the gawd over the bird

Wade was NEVER better in Kobe in NOTHING....Wade had a historic run to them finals though and watching Wade strip Kobe on that last play was depressing i forgot that game was even close...i thought u nikkaz blew us out...but Kobe can't let Wade steal his ball there...he be trying too hard

Yeah being a much better scorer and a defender doesn't count:wtf:

Plus Kobe in the offs>>>Bird. Bird was vastly overrated as a playoff performer. Dude was flat out terrible some years. He had 3 really great yeara(84,86,87) rest was mostly crap

you idiots comparing dudes based off stats in eras with extremely different styles of play

49ers..Braves..Celtics

That doesn't tell the whole story though. Throughout the 80's teams were averaging closer to 90 FGA while that number dipped below 80 for much of the 1990's and is still in the low 80s in the present day. There were also more free throw attempts.

The overall FG% in the 80's was higher than it is now but the 3-point% has increased over time. No surprise the midrange game is looking :flabbynsick:

Bird could of gotten off in this day of age.

I point to "non athletic" white guys such as Chandler Parsons and Mike Dunleavy to be getting there's (Dunleavy a few years ago) and they have 1/10 of the skills Bird had.

if Dirk can be a hall of famer 1st ballot, surely Bird can had he played in this day and age.

Look at Bird's last season in the league and he was playing w/a shytty back :whoo:

:whoa: I understand and agree with what you were trying to do but Parsons will be twice the player that Dunleavy is and is about twice as athletic. If you used somebody like Pat Garrity I'd understand.
