301 is why people filled the stands to see bird play --- to greater extent than any player. The using of team and other players made it insane to watch.
This was the last year before his big back injury....he still dominated even with the bad back...but without that injury he would have continued '80 -'84 intensity of play...he would of been better which is fuckin scary.
So after the Celts beat the Knicks in Game 7, Stern had to give Patrick Ewing to the his Knicks (the team he grew up rooting for) the next year? ASSHOLE.
@FavreianVengeance Stern had to give Patrick Ewing to the his Knicks? The Knicks won the draft lottery and made Patrick Ewing the number 1,pick that's how they got Patrick Ewing. What did Stern do rig the lottery?...LOL
Classic game 7 performance and display of all around skills for Bird. This was a great series and King was a tremendous player, just not as well rounded as Bird and the series proved it. Great post fatal9ish.
@fatal9ish loving ur highlighted bird games. i have saw his passes and amazing shots time after time and it always makes me smile seeing him do something amazing !!! many thanks to u fatal9isgh!!!
Teams couldn`t double team nor Bird nor Magic. Being 6 foot 9 inches tall they could see all the floor, unleashing the pass to the open man. The diference between Bird and Magic regarding Jordan is that under pressure (by two opponents) Michael had to jump or stand on one feet in order to pass the ball. Magic and Bird on the other hand just had to strech their arms and throw the ball to their team-mates with great ease. Jordan just wasn`t efficient as Bird and Magic in that sort of situation.
I was lucky enough to witness great athletes in the late seventies, eighties, nineties and todays. From track and field, through soccer, boxing, gymnastics, swimming, tennis and basketball. But watching Bird, Jordan and Magic play and compete the way they did. Their godlike talent and tremendous will to win separate them from all the others great athletes of that era. I miss those days of real competition. And in the middle of that frenzy were these three amazing figures.
@AceroySangre ....please don't include that fat biggot in the same sentence with Larry Legend. He admittedly, wasn't even in McHale's league, let alone Larry.
I love it when people try and tell me that Bird, Magic and Jordan couldn't compete in today's NBA ... Kobe and Lebron are great...Kobe's legend is still growing...but the divine trinity would dominate today's game much like they did back then.
@saturndual32 u dont think bird and magic would "decide" to team up like wade and lebron did, do u? what a joke those two are.... they got the talent to be two of the best ever too. what a shame
Bird had 5 pts after the comparison with Bernard King, when they said Bird had 35, so he had 40 pts with 1 more foul shot to go at the end.

I always loved when a guy was hand checking Bird. Bird would just slap his hand away and then make a play like it never happened.

Bird, Jordan and Magic, to me the divine trinity of basketball.
If only their younger selfs could be cloned and unleashed on the current league...
