Close one. I like Miller over Mullin, but Larry over KD. Larry is still the best player of the 4 especially with his playmaking and rebounding. And at his prime, he was a "good" defender like KD was. So I'll go Larry and Mullin.

Give me Bird and Mullin. Bird’s passing and basketball IQ with his 3 level scoring is as great as anyone who has ever played imo. His defense while in his prime was pretty good as well. He was give Durant all sorts of trouble.

Bird and Mullin don't wanna chase them around lol. I like them better though. Rather go slowmo.

Edit
Bird Mullin also way funnier.

Reggie Miller is my favorite player, my childhood hero, so even though I think Bird is the best player by far among these four, I'm taking Reggie & KD. Not a lot of passing going on there but who cares

Wow a 4 player comparison in which Larry Bird is the best defensive player.

Chris Mullin is the coolest looking dribbler and shooter, can watch him all day!
I've never been alive during his career unfortunately though, so feel very unlucky.

We’re getting to the point of Larry Bird being so old most people never saw him play at all. I think if we all had gotten to see him play we would be picking him + whoever over KD and Reggie.

Larry Bird has a 6 year consecutive stretch of being either 1st or 2nd in MVP voting (longest streak ever). During those same 6 years he won MVP 3 times, finals MVP 2 times, and won the title 3 times.

This one is tough to choose. Larry Bird is the best player of the 4. Kd shooting and handle at 7ft would be hard to pass up. It depends on who you like more between Miller and Mullin. The shooting would be insane with either duo.

2 on 2 Miller and Durant would be too much for Bird/Mullin from an athleticism/length standpoint. 5 on 5, Larry's passing and IQ puts them over the top.

Bird is the best player out of the 4, but Mullin is the worst. I’m really not a big KD fan, but I think the gap between Miller and Mullen is bigger than the gap between Bird and KD.
