Larry Bird is the greatest Basketball player of all time. The man was not only great, but made great players out of mediocre teammates, ie. Ainge, DJ,etc. Of course, Bird played back when it was still basketball...nowadays, its street ball. I gave up watching this sideshow they call the NBA years ago. If you wanna see real basketball, go back to the days of Bird, Magic, Dominique, Kareem and a young Jordan....watch a few tapes. Take those 5 against any 5 today and they would stomp em.
