The players of today couldn't play with these guys.

Great passing but also atrocious defense as well. Modern day NBA players would intercept most of those passes (or at least bat them away) with their superior quickness and length.

@Flipper79able You are correct! I love Magic's game but he was a sentimental favorite in the MVP vote in 87 because he took on an increased scoring load (23.9 vs 18.8) from previous year. Remember the eastern conference head to head beat the west EVERY year in the decade of the 80's. Dave Heeren's "basketball abstract" has the % for each year on pg 50. Bird put up some monster numbers against the western teams. Magic's own words were "I'd like to thank Larry Bird for having a slightly off year"

@mrho4speed Actually, Bird was 2nd in regular season MVP voting for 4 years. He was the runner up MVP in 81 behind Dr. J.....and he was the runner up MVP behind Moses Malone in 82 and 83. Also in 88 he was the runner up MVP right behind Michael Jordan.

and those first two didn't even count as assists where the guys shooting the layups got butchered, but it got BOS points all the same.......

@cbaldwinjr Bird>Magic. His scoring and shooting range will always trump Magic. LA's big gun was Kareem (Magic never won a ring without him). Magic was a great ball handler and passer but Bird was the Celtics leader from day one. First year = ROY over Magic and a 32 game turnaround for Celts. Bird outplayed Magic the first 8 years of their careers. Bird was 1st NBA player to ever shoot over 50% FG, 40%3-ball and 90% FT for an entire season and did it 2 years straight. Was 2nd in MVP for 3 years

@gummygal404 No, that was in the 84 Finals. This is a regular season game in 83.

He`s slow, but finishes the fast break. He can`t jump but gets the rebound and finds the open man. That`s Larry Bird the best in the game
