Unique player. Wish he would have held up a little better physically in the pros. He wore down too early. Was he a drinker? His dad let him develop all his moves down at LSU. If Pete would have played for Bob Knight, Pete would have been ruined. Basketball is meant to be played open and free. This shows who is in shape and who can handle the ball. I think Bird left IU because he didn't want to play for Knight, be too restricted.

Simply The Best , and I couldn't care less about colors, since I am a real sports fan, I love sports too much to let people's race get in the way.

I'm going to go ahead and say what I think we all know deep down. When certain players, like Bird and Pistol Pete are brought up, immediately you see racial lines being drawn. Perhaps some white people overrate them, but its just as true that many black folk resent giving them their due. I wish we could just see ballplayers.
Personally, I would put Bird as the #3 greatest ever (behind Earvin & Jordan), with Jabbar #4. Maravich? Special, but maybe top 20. A true original, and I loved him.
