Ok, I've gotten several responses about my post pertaining to Larry Bird being the GOAT, so I'll address the group as a whole. I appreciate all the opinions that you have shared but you all are just horribly wrong. There's been great players but the Legend stands alone....Larry Bird is the greatest basketball player of all time. If you'll take just 5-10 minutes (depending on your reading level) to look at the attached article, you'll see that whatever "facts" you try to bring into the discussion will be dissolved by the following journalist.....
Larry Bird: The greatest of all-time? It's amazing how infrequently a guy more dominant against better teams is compared to Michael Jordan & Lebron James......

We've wasted years in here arguing over "MJ or LeBron", when the discussion should have been either "Bird or MJ". If you look at all the facts and listen to interviews of players from the 80s (the greatest generation of the NBA), you'll see there's really no discussion at all.
LARRY BIRD IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER.

*Michael Jordan was never NBA Coach of the Year or NBA Executive of the Year. NEVER. Truthfully, if you do some research, there is no Air Jordan or really.... no NBA without Larry Bird....
and Magic Johnson was also important but to a much, much lesser extent.
