Message from Larry Bird and Reggie Miller

[KCAASE]

What happened to Larry Bird. He is so old now.

[west93]

Reggie Miller is the best 3 point shooter ever i dont care what anybody say

[sawyerleemoore]

With these guys on the administration, how aren't the Pacers better?

[DarkMage573]

@sawyerleemoore Right? lol

[usnate1]

And dont you find it interesting that CBS network in 1991 was the first FULL nba season that was contracted to be veiwed. Bird and magic's many games were prerecorded and you couldn't see them throughout the country. To see Wilt you had to go to the game or wait for the 2 telivised games annually.

[junkmailboy1000]

why does Reggie Miller not look like he's getting older??

[dmana3172]

Larry Bird was, and will always be the greatest player ever. No one will ever succeed him, not even Jordan.

[fivebadkids]

@dmana3172 jordan was better but bird is second to only jordan

[mrho4speed]

@fivebadkids Bird's all around skills made him a better player than jordan. One on one Jordan was superior, but the game is 5 on 5 and Bird was a better passer, rebounder, shooter and inspirational leader. Jordan gets the nod for scoring, dunks and defense but you can build a better team with Bird.

[8MunchenBayern8]

@mrho4speed Bird better than Jordan? moron.

[mrho4speed]

@8MunchenBayern8 Yes, Bird better than Jordan to build a team around. Bird's court vision and unselfish play improved the players on his team. He demonstrated this at every level. Jordan had to be screamed at by coach Phil Jackson to pass the ball, to have confidence in his teammates. As great as Jordan was Bird was better, more versatile and his teammates were inspired by his play. Jordan dominated after the NBA expanded and the teams were weaker. He learned how to win by watching Bird & Magic

[8MunchenBayern8]

@mrho4speed lol well youre 1 out of a 1,000 people that think bird is better than MJ

[mrho4speed]

@8MunchenBayern8 If basketball were played like tennis, you'd have no disagreement from me. Bird's winning percentage in games he played was just over 70%-the highest % of any player ever in the NBA. Jordan was a close 68%. Bird averaged more assists per game than Jordan and had more triple doubles. He played when the NBA teams were better. Bird was a better team player, Jordan a better individual player (scorer + defender), but the game is 5 on 5

[usnate1]

@8MunchenBayern8 Larry Bird in terms of skill to Michael is superior not athleticism which is only 1/10 of the game as LB showed us. Magic knows, LB was the only player in jordan's era that he never beat legit. The way Bird played was so hard that he ruined his back. His last 2years his numbers dropped because he didn't play 1/3 of the minutes he used to. MJ was the most popular not the GOAT. One of the Greatest. Google if you want proof :airjudden2.tripod.com/jordan/­rank.htm

[usnate1]

@mrho4speed Dido. 2 count em' 2 of MJ's coaching had to fight his whining self to get him to do better. MJ NEVER faired well in the 80's against the greatest teams. 90's ball was nothing compared to the prev decade. 7 out of the top 20 wining-nest teams in the history of nba came out of the 80's. What about the 90's? The bulls...and uh the trailblazers 2 seasons and the suns 1 and the jazz 2 seasons oh the supersonics 1 season wow!!!! Yeah MJ greatest ever against mediocrity...

[mrho4speed]

@usnate1 Couldn't agree more. Not Jordans fault he played against weaker teams, but thats the facts.I live in Chicago and loved watching Jordan, his athleticism and tenacity were tremendous. Bird's team approach made his teammates better at every level-look how he won at ISU. Bird turned a 29 win 53 loss Celtic team to 61 wins his rookie year! Greatest turnaround in NBA history--Duncans 34 game improvement is misleading - David Robinson, Shawn Elliot and 1 more starter had season ending injuries

[usnate1]

@8MunchenBayern8 Then you can't count or see or you've seen too many nike, gatorade and wheaties commercials to convince you that jordan was the greatest. Jordan in the 90's only. And he was only 1 of the greats....Jordan took notes from LB not the other way around.

[PanayotiProductions]

reggie miller is right. larry bird could kick the shit out of christopher reeve. even before the crippling accident.

[Bird33Larry]

Bird eh melhor

[Dippy895621]

THE BEST 3PT shooters ever

[amrcnengineer]

@Dippy895621 not anymore

[kobebryant24kb24]

two GREAT shooters

[HOPFreak]

Better at what, Checkers? 1. Jordan 2. Jabbar 3. Bird

[babyray31]

reggie miller is way better than larry bird

[theflyingsource]

i know you like reggie miller as a ball player but, layer is the top 5 best players of all-time he's better than bird in three's bot not player.

[kurtsnyder]

That comment is so incredibly stupid that it doesn't even deserve a response. :?

[WiltatKansas]

yeah, who could be better shooter than Regiie, yes, Larry.

[borisd719]

Wow, Larry Bird is the anti-Dick Clark; he has not aged well at all. It's hard to look at him now and realize he is one of the greatest players ever.

[slugger233]

man the coach must be really tall birds 6,9 and that cats like 4 or 5 in taller must be like 7,1 or 2

[masterdeviance1985]

bird looks so old now...

[davidspraker]

i have 40 different larry bird cards

[CaptPrice274]

@davidspraker LUCKY BASTARD

[bluesdrummer715]

Larry looks like Larry Fine from the 3 stooges!

[xxwhatevahxx]

Damn! I thought Larry & Reggie was gona have a shooting contest

[chillymacdaddy]

LOL

[twiistaaa]

i was watching space jam, both bird and bill murray have aged bad. in 10 years they went from looking mid 40s to mid 60s.

[pacboy24]

damn larry looks older, hes my all time basketball hero and insperation but my god time flew so fast, hes still my number one #1 fan

[jafka633]

He's aged a little in the last few years, looked really young when he took over in 1998 and to today.

But you can count on one thing you have some greta basketballl nouse there, he'll bring you back, sounds like you're not loyal follwers of true greatness Indianins!

[hoosier3060]

It's funny, because they try to shift your attention to the past. Great. That's why we have ESPN classic and youtube. What about the future. How about runnin' all the thugs and problem-children out of town? How about getting a true leader that can lead by example (JO ain't cuttin' it).

[fx772k1]

Geeez, the music makes it seem like someone died. Slash the prices...and they will come.

[platinumjah]

LOSERS!!!!!!!

[Bwaire]

huh, mr. bird is beginning to take on the appearance of a bird

[IU90]

This season has been "interesting and challenging"? Looks like we've got new euphemisms for "disappointing and embarrassing."

[uricehe4]

"Either you're with us or you're not with us." Thanks, Reggie, for giving us neo-con foreign policy applied to the NBA.

[rlam724]

Western Conference owns all.

[kingtutstomb]

Go Pacers! I'm still a fan, I don't care what happens.

[holliday1332]

Legend looks naked with no 'stache.

[indyhoosier]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[marypoppinseab]

larry, you're better than this

[dntrwl]

"when being in California where people don't really know who you are" WHAT?

[cameronhylander]

I love the serious/sad music in the background. Good luck next year with Mrs. Dunmurphy!

[TheCommercialMan]

I want my season tickets refunded now!!! Larry Bird and Miller alone could have done better! Even at their old age.

[griderjim]

Why is every fan base now known as "(team name) Nation"???

[encierro75]

You're either with us or against us. We used to supply arms to the Taliban, er, ahem, Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest. We have to fight against the Axis of Evil... you know, the Pistons, Bulls and Lakers. Someone tell Reggie Miller that Barack Obama wants to get back his big Dumbo ears.
