One of the better compilations I have seen on Birds trash talking lol. Had me laughing.

I like the mention of Luka, people drag Bird saying he'd be too unathletic to be great today but Luka is the same way

Hey, he’s getting paid 31m to not pass to those guys

Probably score 28 a game and be an allstar lol

Mark Jackson not demoted as previously thought

Mark Jackson got fired

I would hope an empty 28 PPG on a bad team isn’t enough to make someone an all star.

Mark Jackson got fired

The original NY Post article said he would be fired if he didn't accept the demotion.

I don’t really recall why he’d say it

It should’ve helped them more then anyone

...and the eventual champion Lakers were 3.5 games ahead of them before the stoppage.

You agree @Mecca

Who cares.

What was the excuse the other 4 years that nucleus was together?

Pat needs to worry about his own team.

Dude is just a troll.

Pat loves to talk.

I'd love to hear his reasoning on Tiny Archibald. good lord man. Moses? lol bruh.

Almost all those Dudes played in his era.

Old men hating.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

You think he is enough to get Portland to blink?

Yet another guard.

But, I like him at 6’7.

Maybe he can play some 3.

3-4 firsts, 2nds, Herro to a 3rd team, expiring contracts, young guys.

If Portland says no, not sure you can improve that offer.

Sounds like Lowry, not Duncan.

Player lists are literally the worst.

I don’t ever want to hear another person on here touting a former players’ opinion on all time greats, or GOAT lists as being more valid than ours.

Just another example of a terrible list made by a former great player.

irving has always had a thing against bird anyway.must be because of the rivalry they had.

Bird trolled him so bad he fucking SNAPPED….lol

It prompted Shaq to put his own list out. Definitely better, though he did put himself 1st team.

They are as biased as the rest of us, maybe even more.

I can’t take any list seriously that doesn’t have Jordan, Lebron and KAJ on it.

You can’t be top 3 in NBA History and not be alltime starting 5 when you don’t play the same positions.

That would be the only basis to cancel each other out…imo

To leave any of the 3 out of the top 10 is just brainless

I am not saying my list is more valid than anyone else’s.

But, not sure how you overcome my logic.

Unless you don’t have those guys top 3, which is another reason to side eye them….lol

Dr J is cancelled for putting Malone in over Duncan….lol

FOH

Shaq’s list is definitely better than Dr. J’s

I find it interesting that Shaq’s list is so dominated by guards that most wouldn’t have near their top 10s.

He has AI and Isaiah Thomas, but no Kareem?

Nah.

Take those 2 out, add a couple more dominant bigs from past eras and put Kareem on first team and he has it pretty close to what a universal poll would come up with.
