Paul Pierce vs Larry Bird
« on: April 21, 2004, 08:13:00 PM »
I visited my old high school the other day and heard some kids engaged in a discussion about basket ball. One kid was raving on how Bird sucked and was over rated in the media bacause he is white. This is clearly bullshit, but what really triggered me into jumping into the argument was when the kid said Pierce is better than Bird ever was, and then a whole bunch more of these stupid kids, stupid being the key word, agreed with him.

Now I don't follow the NBA like I used to, but does any one actually feel this way, with regards to Bird sized up against Pierce? keep in mind the major point argued by the kids at the high school was that Bird couldn't dunk.

of course that's bs. everybody knows that. bird was the best shooter of his time. if you go by type of player, pierce isnt even good to compare with bird. only thing is they both play(ed) for the celtics. bird got how many rings? pierce can be glad if he gets his team into the playoffs.

LOL peep this and choke:

I would have killed the kids right then and there if I'da heard this discussion :)

Paul Pierce isn't even worthy of holding Birds jock. Overrated because of his skin color or not... My alltime favorite player, and person who I think had the best all around game is Magic Johnson, and he is the first person to say that Larry and Jordan are the best players he's ever seen. I think I'll go with my child hood heros arguement over some high school kids locker convo :)

Ive seen no game live, but some cuts here and there like I did with most classic players, and even if I didnt the stats are objective and I know the stats since I care

he prolly said that because Miller is an old fucker who used to have money shots, including being a 90% FT shooter and a great 3point shooter.
atm the most comparable player to Bird is probably Stojakovic.

yah, Reggie Miller. Jordan is on another level. Bird and Magic are about even (IMO), but they dont compare as far as what type of player they are. Reggie Miller compares to Bird somewhat. And if u put Miller on a type of team like Bird was playing on, imagine how much greater his career would have been? Its hard for someone who is a pure shooter, to do it alone....they need to be set-up, Bird had that, Reggie hasnt. Read what 7even said...
