Will Lebron ever surpass Bird at the SF GOAT?

[DorianRo]

What do u think?

 

[broncosmitty]

I think that's passed.

 

[bksballer89]

He already did....

 

[trojanfan12]

Pretty sure he already has. The only question now is where he will rank among MJ, Kareem and Magic.

 

[Vyle203]

Don't listen to these knuckleheads, the answer is no, he never ever will.

Can you imagine LeBron vs Bird one on one in their primes? 21-6 LeBron.

Depends. If it's make it, take it and Bird gets the ball first, I'm taking Bird.

He'd hit a couple 3s but come on, LeBron would block one and then never give up the ball.

Doubtful. Bird could get his shot off against anyone. I don't know how he did it, but he did. Could hit shots from angles that were just stupid too.

Meh, he's not 100% from 3....first miss LeBron gets the rebound. Game over.

He was more than capable of hitting enough in a row to win a 1 on 1 game. Plus, for his entire career, the better the competition, the better he played. Haven't always been able to say that about Lebron.

Plus, Bird was a world class trash talker. He'd have Lebron crying by the 4th bucket he scored on him.

Unless Bird decides to call offensive fouls when Lebron inevitably bull rushes his way to the basket.

 

[msgkings322]

I'm no youngster but it's amusing how everyone thinks their childhood heroes were better than the kids today. Sorry dudes, LeBron is one of the top 3 all time players Bird is not.

 

[DJ]

No.

Bird was clutch and he didn't jump around from team to team trying to be on the next super team. He worked hard for his team to get better and help make his teammates better.

Let em put something that really matters on the line and I know who I would be putting my life savings on.

LOL, I'll take that action.

Oh I wouldn't take Bird in one on one, that would be stupid. Do a white men can't jump shooting contest or anything that measures heart and it's not close though.

Well sure, Bird was a better shooter. LeBron was better at everything else. Except facial hair.

Lol. Good one. The fact that he had 2 other HOFers on the floor with him by his 2nd season might have something to do with that.

Excuse me, make that 3 other HOFers.. I forgot about Archibald.

DJ is also in the HOF -- so let's make that 4 -- joining Larry in his 4th season. (I won't count Bill Walton who was an old stiff guy by '86)
