What more could you want?  You got Bird in this game. You got Rodman (killin the boards)!  You got Isiah and Dumars in their last great win in a big game defeating McHale and a young Reggie Lewis (RIP) and Dee Brown (Reebok Pump dunk champ)!!!  Vintage late 80's and 90's NBA BASKETBALL DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS!!!

reggie lewis was becoming a problem in the league

imo Larry Legend doesn't get enough credit

all this talk about Curry being the best shooter ever come from people who never saw Larry Bird

larry is one of the greatest ever and better than curry overall

but curry is still the goat shooter

perhaps if larry played in this era it would be a different story ... the 3 point shot wasn't as prevalent in the 80s and larry actually went 4 seasons shooting sub 30% from three


but larry in his prime was definitely up there

no doubt but Larry was doing it against teams like the bad boys, the Lakers etc...shooting percentages weren't as high back then because everyone played tough defense

not taking anything away from Curry his range is ridiculous but he has done it in an offensive era

the difference is the release

steph has a very quick release so he can get it off much faster, and his release point allows him for more range

but yes, stats are inflated nowadays .. defense is weak and offense is protected

regardless, as far as form, mechanics, release, range.. nobody fuckin wit steph
