Bird drove the bus. Durant is a passenger
Mouseπ in the HOUSEβπ
KD isn't in the same category… The Fucking Legend
Larry Bird is every white HS basketball coach coaching from 1990-1996 favorite player.
Larry is the best small forward of all time. Kevin isn't even top 10 all time. Maybe top 20.
Love that John Salley Brooklyn accent. Gimme some of that east coast flava.
Durant is good but BIrd is a legend
KD a Bird that canβt rebound or pass think about what I said π
The way he looked around like he was about to commit blasphemy lol. Bro really didnβt want to drag birds name
Bird was COLD as ice.
And this is why Lebron can sit his ass down trying to talk shit….
Larry could do anything on the stat sheet. But he played to win, not for stats. Got his teammates involved. He was a complete player and a clutch player.
Larry would have Durant so out of the game mentally.
Not close….LARRY BIRD period!
πwhat cracks me up abt Larry Bird stores is the fact itβs always black guys who praise him. The white guys are βhe was ok.βπ
You can tell he is saying bird without saying it!
Not even close. Bird way better than Durant
Larry was CLUTCH. Iβve fβi g cold. Remember when MJ was the only human that noticed bird taking the 3pt contest in his warmups? Larry didnβt have to run his mouth to talk junk.
John Salley is that fly on the wall during the greatest time in the NBA, haven played on or played against the best of the best!
Larry was mean. KD is not mean. That's the difference
I love how the old school players talked smack and basked it up. Players these days just ain't the same and that's why the game's not the same. it lacks the passion and intensity of the past.
Larry spent his whole career and won all his titles with one team. Thatβs a big difference to stars today
Someone else become a H.L.R is uncanny
Larry said βdonβt put the white boy on meβ π
Pat Riley said that you pick Jordan to take the last shot to win the game, you pick LB to take the shot to save your life. LB would rule today.
Legend WON 3 out of every 4 games he played for his entire NBA career!
Bird was 6'10" btw
When Matt Barnes borrowed John Stockton's gym shorts for a John Salley interview
What Sal really said βKevin Durant is my favorite player and is half the athlete bird wasβ¦.but heβs no Larry bird.β
Brid is definitely better than Durant. Bird can beat his opponents out of the game by getting the defenders in foul trouble, psychology warefare by demoralizing his opponent, way more clutch than KD, much better passer, better rebounder, reads the defense better, better defender, leadership, elite mental toughness, and the fear he instilled in defenders.
Which player has 3 consecutive MVPβs β¦ which player was THE NUMBER ONE MAN on 3 title teams ? Which player is legitimately in the conversation as theβ¦.. π
I dont think Larry gets enough credit for his defense. Maybe not quite as good 1 vs.1 defense on some guys, but on a team his defense was superb, he get behind players swat/steal the ball, force players to make bad passes,
Bird >>>KD
These two are not close… watching the game for 40yrz… just trust John knows the deal!!!..
