Birds passing, post moves, jumpshooting, and testicles would all be the best in the NBA right now. He is the best forward of all time IMO (Kareem is a C and MJ a guard if you ask me). Also Bird was solid on ball defender but by far the best ever I know of for team D. He rotated as good as any and was the best at jumping passing lanes in the league.

Oh and other than MJ, if its a tie game with 3 minutes left to play, is there ANYONE who youd want on your team besides Bird?

i am sure someone who is left handed could do it

I can't find that one, but this is in the 87 playoffs against Detroit, when he suddenly decided to do the same...
