Let the debate
Bird played like that while getting mauled. If no one could touch him, he would be ridiculous. Like Luca but way better. Also, I won’t discount Lebron even though he whines and flops. He wouldn’t have been rewarded for that behavior back in the day so I’m sure he would at least cut that out.Can't really debate. Two different periods.
If Larry Bird played in todays game, he is fouling out in about 15 mins of play. If Lebron played back in the day, then he is getting mauled like a toddler and crying about it all game. I guess it depends who you think can adapt better. (Same goes for the MJ argument)
Old era, you could throw elbows and it would be fine, but now, you can barely make eye contact lol
I wish they would keep it and use what we give them, if I wanted a charity to get it, I would give it to them myself.
People want to help his family. I appreciate the humbleness and thought behind it, but I wish they would just keep it.
hate this , sending prayersI just received news that a best friend's wife has breast cancer. Not sure the full extent, but she will be getting a bilateral mastectomy.
They both had just accepted dream jobs to move to Colorado from Kingston and are in the process of packing and selling their house when the news hit. She's an OBGYN and he just got his masters at UT in soil science. He's also a wounded vet. They're in a tough spot right now and need prayers.
Like Doncic? He seems to be adapting with less physical gifts than Bird. Larry doesn’t get legally clotheslined by Michael Cooper, Rick Mahorn types he doesn’t have to respond in kind…adds to stats. There’s a reason old schoolesque talents like Jocic are thriving in this era.Can't really debate. Two different periods.

Doing what you can get away with has always been a thing.Bird played like that while getting mauled. If no one could touch him, he would be ridiculous. Like Luca but way better.
