@Goddilla33 I do give Bird credit for trying to play d & the Cs did get the best if the Hawks because their team was so much better, but Bird didn't get the best of every1 most of time though. Worthy, Rodman & Mahorn did excellent jobs on him in the playoffs, usually limiting his scoring & forcing turnovers from him. Good battles tho.
Effort? When you've got zero chance at blocking the shot and can get a foul/flagrant foul/or a limb torn off, just let it go dude. If Bird got his arm in front of the rim, he woulda had his shooting wrist ripped off. Every defender picks and chooses his spots. You don't try to block every single jumpshot, layup, or dunk because you'll foul out in 5 minutes or get burned. This ain't NBA 2k12.
@fkorambayil yeah effort motherfucker! these two were rivals and bird would try anything to stop wilkins. they had a competetive hatred for each other on the court. oh and by the way dumbass larry almost always got the best of wilkins as he did with anyone and everyone he faced.
I wouldn't expect a dumbass like you to understand. Getting called for an and-1 on a dunk you have no business trying to block is not smart basketball. I bet you're some pasty-thin 35 year old white dude who thinks Bird is the great white hope.
This is the nastiest facial ever in the history of the NBA. I hate all those Top 10 dunks where the defender is off to the side or not even jumping. Retarded NBA.com video's Top 10 dunk of all time was Lebum dunking on a flat footed dunking trying to draw a charge.
A facial is when the dude gets the ball busted into his face, falls on his butt, arms flailing from the missed block, and he FULLY COMMITTED to muffing the shot. Props to Bird for playing D, but....he shoulda known better...

@fkorambayil He should have known better for what? A good ball player tries to block a shot and play D no matter who he is going against. Would you have thought it would have been a better play for Bird to not even try and block it? I wonder what K.C. Jones his coach would say about that? Bird was a surprisingly good shot blocker for having no jumping ability. I think people get too caught up in how they look rather than trying to do the right thing.
All the greats have gotten posterized one time or another, I don't know why everybody gets a kick out of LeBron being posterized. They act like he isn't isn't a great player cause he got dunked on.. Like look at what just happened to Bird!
everybody gets dunked on eventually! Patrick Ewing gets the biggest brunt of it, but, in actuality, Ewing was a great defender. Sometimes you try and you fail anyways, but, at least you tried.
bill simmons makes this seems liek the end all be all of dunks.....i mean very few people can leap like 'nique, but there ARE better dunks. however, to be fair, people dont really ever posterize bird, mainly cuz the guy couldnt get 3 inches off the floor. love the call tho. i thought tommy heinsohn was gonna say HE FOULED BIRD ON THE DUNK like the homer he is.
At least Basketball Jesus went up for the block...if that was Nique dunking on LeBron, BronBron would have stayed out of the picture then wiped him clean after he landed...
Larry Bird is a monster, but damn that dunk was just NASTY

... At least Bird hustled. Most guys would have just let it go.
If you're always making an attempt, there's always that rare time when you'll block that. If you don't make an attempt, you'll never have that.
