1 on 1 Lebron will beat Bird but no one judges how good a player is by 1 on 1. I still take Bird only slightly over Lebron. Bird was an underrated player probably because he was white, but he played the game almost perfectly. He is one of the greatest passers ever but not a lot of people realized this because his rival was the greatest passer ever. Every time he stepped on the court he was the smartest player on the court. In my book he is better than Magic but Lebron will need to achieve more to be ahead of Bird. Lebron knows his basketball and thats why he named Bird a top 3 player of all time.

Clearly, you have no clue re: HIV. Magic wasn't married when he contracted it and the only reason that he found out when he did, was that he had to take a physical for a life insurance policy that he was buying either shortly before or shortly after he and Cookie were married.

It's likely that Magic was HIV positive for at least a couple of years before he found out. As far as anyone knows, Magic never cheated on his wife.

Yeah he did cheat on her. More times than you can count. Doesn't take away from his positive traits but he was not a saint by any stretch of the imagination.

Never claimed he was a saint!! During his single days, he was banging more women than most of us have met!!

How do you know he cheated on her? More of your unnamed sources?

Brahmsian,
How is Lebron not a class act off the court? What did he do? By the way, Larry Bird is my favorite player of all-time. But Lebron married the mother of his children while Larry Legend basically abandoned the only child of his body. Of course that happened long, long ago and I'm sure he has changed but Lebron has never been accused of anything that heinous to my recollection. Please explain. Word.

He knowingly and quite deliberately misled Cavalier fans in the year prior to his free agency. That and by all reports is scornful of anyone less talented or wealthy than himself.

Magic may have been misled by the woman he got the HIV from and she might not have known she had it for all we know.

LeBron was the con artist, not the victim of any con job when he left Cleveland.

No this was first hand. I didnt want to believe what some people were telling me until I saw it for myself.

My favorite Larry Bird story was when he walked in to the locker room before the 3 point shooting contest and asked: "Who's finishing 2nd?"

He's married and his wife is a hottie, so I'm gonna guess no!!

I thought he was full of it about being a virgin until I actually met him down in LA back in the day. I did not know he had gotten married since.

Both are great players but the NBA has changed a lot. Bird played when the NBA was a team game and today its very little team play and mainly one on one. That's why an old Spurs team who plays solid team ball should have beat the Heat.

The Spurs should have, but LeBron's too much of a champion.
