Bird put on a shooting clinic in the first half and then a passing one in the second half. You see a nice variety of Bird's passing repertoire in this game as he made several blind, no look, touch and left handed passes.
Like with most of the Celtic-Bull games in the '86-'88 stretch, Bird outplayed Jordan easily and extended both his individual and team dominance in heads up matches.
I think if Michael would have started his career at the same time as Larry and Magic, Michael would have maybe won one title. The 80s were filled with great teams and players, unlike the 90s, plus the 80s NBA star players were not cuddled like they were in the 90s and in today's NBA, you can thank Stern for that.

Larry was the man, but man I Love me some Dennis Johnson; Dennis is one of the most underated NBA players of all times. DJ helped take the Sonics to the finals twice, won one title and later helped the Celtics go to the finals and helped them win championships.

Bird puts on a passing clinic & eats Chicago up. Larry's back musta been feellin' good that night-looked like 1985 pre-injury.
