I think Bird was 6'9 with out shoes, so with shoes he stood at about 6'10 if that makes any sense. But it wasn't just his height, he had a thick body, no homo.

The NBA is becoming more and more like the WWE

Kobe Bryant’s Height
He’s a retired basketball player, so you best believe that he is not lacking in the height department, seeing as it is one of the main requirements for the job. The athlete stands tall at 6 feet 4 inches, but at some point (when he was first entered the NBA) his listed height was actually 6 feet 7 inches.

Wow! That’s a lot of inches shaved off. So how did we come across this tid bit of information about Kobe Bryant’s height? It was supplied by the athlete himself, we believe his exact words were, ‘ Everyone thinks I’m 6 feet 7 inches tall. But just between you and me, I’m really 6-4, I’m probably 6-5 in sneaks.’

Bird was reckless with his body
Magic was reckless with his d**k

That's how the NBA's greatest rivalry ended.
It was truly poetic if you think about it, Bird was scrappy as hell and would fight every night on the court and didn't give a damn about his body, Magic was lavish and flashy and was a star under the LA lights

It truly couldn't have ended any other way :mjcry:

Oh and Zeke always played at 110% speed and fukked up his achillies because he couldn't slow the fukk down :comeon:
