Thats because Larry Bird is overrated because hes one of the best white players in NBA history.

Absolutely not. He has the weakest resume for someone ranked as high as he is on this board.

I’ve never heard someone describe a team 2 wins from the title “not ready”.

I don’t know why you brought race into this. I do agree though that Bird was not as great as legend has it.

Time to hand over First Take to JJ Redick and Pat Bev

Why have so many people been brainwashed into liking Stephen A?

Cedric Maxwell and a couple of other guys during the 80’s said this too. Then Bird gave ‘em the business on the court.

3x MVP (in a league with Magic, Jordan, Hakeem)

Celtics ball handling is ridiculous. That might win an NBA title and can't handle the freaking ball.

24 10 and 6 over a career, with 3 titles, 2 FMVPs, 3 MVPs, ROY, 10x All NBA. His spot in the top 10 is pretty secure.


If 1980s Lakers, 76ers, Bucks and Pistons could use 3s and Shoot 3s like modern teams those teams would be better than modern team. The league was not balanced in the 1980s. The good teams were a lot better than the bad teams except the 1981 Rockets broke through.

lol hakeem is more overrated ( bc he is put in the top 10) than bird. hakeem should be out of the top 10 than bird lmao.
very short playoff success, out 1st round 2nd round miss playoffs in prime. but did have the 2 titles 2 fmvps. 1 mvp

not in top 10 imo. top 15 yes.

if we are talking about curry vs bird/hakeem, the argument is way better against hakeem.

Its always funny to me when someone hates and says “but I’m from the town there from and I’m their ethnicity”. Like that automatically validates their opinion.
