I think even now his greatness will stand in history as staggering, far greater than jordan, and if len bias had not died, could have made a run at bill russel's 11 title rings
Bird wasn't fast, but he had quick hands, and very good coordination. You don't always have to be super athletic. Magic wasn't anything special as an athlete either, and he was also great.
Having watched this vhs when I was a kid 4,000 times, I would have to say that the Bird vid is the best. Jordan and Magic are great, but this one is the best.
Not really, can shoot, rebound, had a lot of heart, pass, was clutch, do all the little things that make a team win. Noone was smarter or had Bird's hustle. CptBlkAmerica2. Jordan could dunk better but was he as clutch or could shoot better, you could probably find someone better in every single facet of the game, but where they would lack, he didn't, he did it all
Because he can`t jump, is not so fast, doesn`t look so athletic and he doesnt dunk cool. Yes true: but he can shooter better than anyone and fron anywhere, is more clutch than anyone, can rebound better than any smallforward, can pass better than any forward and handle the ball better than any forward and more XD
Because he wasn no Leaper, Dunker, Fast Paced or Athletic guy as most Forwards but then again what all these people forget is that he was the Greatest Pure Shooter Ever (Difficult Shots Without Preparing and Limited Athletic Ability), A Game Creating Forward That Had Point Guard Like Hands and Vision to Pass, Dominated the Boxing Out Rebounding skill like A Master and was Always A Second or Two Ahead of the Play or his Rivals to Improvise, Force and Create Another Play out of the ordinary

How does a "slow white kid who can't jump" as a small forward average a double double for his career...the best ever!

I like Magic the best out of these three, but Bird's video is the best. Now in the entire video I'd have to say Isaiah's was the best.
