Larry Bird would average a triple double in today's era. Before the back injury and double foot surgeries he was the best overall player to ever lace them up. And is as clutch as they come.
From 80 to 89, Bird had 67% of total MVP votes. In a highly skilled decade. And the only other player besides Bill Russell and Wilt to have three MVPs in a row.
Larry Bird was always playing chess when like 92% of the people he was playing against were just playing checkers. His basketball IQ is off the charts. Even if you find someone today who could guard him (and that is a BIG IF) you wouldn’t be able to stop his passing. He’d end up with 20 assists if he wasn’t scoring. He made everyone around him better.
No player in this era is on the level of Larry. People forget, Bird averaged 10 boards for his career in peak physicality. In this era, Larry is 30-15-10 every year.
Nobody in his era could cover him, and nobody from THIS era could cover him either. Even after telling the other team what the play is, where he was going, and how he was going to put it in your face, they STILL couldn’t stop him!!!
Bruh he was one of the best shooters to ever play the game, he's gunna be good in whatever Era you put him. The dude was Hawkeye for basketball, he just can't miss.
Larry was a monster and in this era of no hand check, emphasis on shooting, spacing, training advancements, and couple that with his skill already nigga it’s GGs he smoking shit
Over six seasons from 1982-1988, Bird averaged 26.7 PPG–and took two 3's a game. Jayson Tatum already has taken 4,180 3's in eight seasons. Bird attempted 1,727 3's in his entire career.
None of these current fools are their listed heights. They get measured with shoes on so your typical what they call 6’10 is really 6’8 maybe 6’9. In the real era of basketball they measured the players in barefoot or with socks on. Nowadays a 7 footer may only be a 6’10 guy. Karl Anthony towns. Omg like AD another huge waste of alleged talent.
All the Badasses from 60 to 2000 would destroy today's players internationals are best players today! Hoax ,they played D and hit the Boards along with Scoring ! The Legends would Blow todays players off the Court ! Stretchers Needed !

Bird was averaging 28 10 7 in the 80s. Shooting 50 40 90 splits. He could score in ways that modern players can't even wrap their heads around.

It was definitely harder back then than now any other stars will be icons in this era of Nba cut it out
Prime Bird today would dominate similar to Jokic
Baron reaching like a mug.KAT is a beast! Really!
Bruh…Larry is…man the disrespect 🤷🏽♂️
There are a lot of 6’10 guys with game like bird? There aren’t a lot of guys with his game at any height
Dude said KAT…stfu. The nightmare is you talkin.
Larry will kill EVERYBODY….and you better be a black player to have any chance at stopping him

I saw the Jordan Bulls
Witnessed that greatness
Let me tell you
That's a different kind of "white "boy right there
Legend🍀
Speaking the truth
Every top 20 player from the 90s and prior would completely smoke the game in today's soft era
That dude could REALLY PLAY BASKETBALL, I mean REALLY PLAY BASKETBALL. 😂

Larry Bird aint no fuckin 6'10.
Nobody can stop BIRD. In any ERA
MOre athletic today but less skills.
Bird is Dirk and Jokic combined in one player. You crazy

Larry Legend is the truth and will get busy in any era. He will cook KAT. Easy work.
When they threw out Karl Anthony Towns like they thought they had him, n bd was like yea for Karl Anthony hahahaha
Larry would tell how & where he’s going to shoot and still couldn’t be stopped
Bird talk game would cause permanent psychic damage.
Larry had the rarest thing…jordan style "i'm the best" mentality. So few people have that. He woulda won any era.
Bird is a physical ball player and with no hand check Bird will dominate. These new players never played in the physical era. Bird will cook'em.
Bird would kill n be killed his feet are way to slow this generation. Also no more hand checks.
Bird was retard 😊strong
