What design do you need to make for me? Who did Larry play against? Against Nique and Doctor J, when they were at their peak...you took your own flight and come here to mess around with that jokester tone...is it clear to you now what I meant?!

1) "Doctor J didn't have Bird's team behind him, sorry to disagree with you": WHO ever said otherwise?! I don't know, do you?! 2) "Sorry if I'm teaching you the abc, but with someone who thinks Wilkins and Doctor J are from the same era, it needs to be done": don't worry, there's always a fool who thinks they know more and has to enlighten others!!! WHO EVER SAID THEY ARE CONTEMPORARIES?? WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU SMOKED?! 3) "Then anyway, apart from the shot, Doctor J was superior to Bird in everything. Do we want to make a fundamental skills chart, like in elementary school?": sure, let's do it, genius. As an assist man, as a leader on the court, as a ball stealer (the ones that COUNT), as a three-point shooter, as a buzzer-beater BIRD > DOCTOR, who remains one of the greats of this sport. Now go back to your Barbies, or read better what someone writes, and if you have doubts, ask...where did you read that nique is contemporary to Doc J only you know! Saludos!

sorry for the double!

Ahahah... just because no one has dared to say a word about LARRY Don yet... :) woe to anyone who touches him... all jokes aside, strangely enough, a polite discussion has emerged. I agree with you, but I want to specify: replicating Larry Bird is even more difficult not just because he was white, but because he was a TOTAL player, a leader, an assist man, a rebounder, a buzzer beater, a shooter, and a trash talker (this also played a role)... Dumars' consideration is spot on: he really couldn't stand Jordan, and it was often him guarding him... by the way, even though he played for the Bad Boys, he was a very fair player!

Moses a thousand times more talented than Shaq, but Shaq is a freaking wardrobe... without Bird in his way, Moses would have won a lot more, and without the Sixers, the Celtics would have won a lot more... I've always hated the huge disparity between the two coasts...

Don't worry, even the walls know the value of Doctor J! ;) He was and will always be a phenomenon... team sports are not individual sports, titles matter up to a point... that's exactly why I was making the point about Jordan earlier.
Well, unfortunately for him, Moses' Sixers were a completely different team; in fact, Bird had to pay his dues before he could raise his little finger to the sky in the years to come.

Well, it's clear, Alfredo... it's just that if he hadn't faced Bird, I think Nique would have ended up playing some kind of final with the Hawks... and history can change quickly...

Well, Alfredo, all I know is that the annals show 5 titles for the LA while Boston has "only" 3... yet Magic didn't see an MVP even with binoculars until Bird's back condemned him. And that's because everyone knew the huge difference between the two coasts, strolls for LA, battles from the first to the last for Boston. Jordan would still have been great, he would have won a lot anyway (I'm sure of it), but not as much... for a simple fact of competition and natural wear and tear, of fatigue...

Ahahah...Emerson, Larry Bird used to get blocked by Doctor (only to end up scoring on him at the end of the game), not by Dikembe Mutombo! :)
