Being a diehard 6ers dan, I hated Bird with a passion. But I have zero doubt he would dominate in today’s game. He had a unique game with the ability to get his shot off against anyone. He boxed out ferociously and was one of the better help defenders of his era. He could dribble like a guard and shoot like a Curry. And his confidence was Jordanesque.

@jackchan6624 2 года назад

Luka is luka, just becuz he did some of the fancy move of both of them doesn’t mean he’s like them , if u look at doncic game he do lots of iso , did bird and magic did that ? Bird were a 3 or 4 playing 1-2 movements before making shots or passes while magic is more supporting minded .luka did a lot post up move and ask for screen and mismatch and I don’t really see those in magic or bird game either . And then there’s this luka special move which u can called the dirk fade away or half harden step back 3s. So Luka is Luka ,stop the comparison , let the HoF be there .

@ruminating1596 2 года назад

The number 33 has shown up a lot this series. Luka has finished a few games with 33 points. Even a game where he played 33 minutes and made 33 points. I think their recent victory was a 33 point victory. Larry Bird wore 33 and if you know anything about that number then you know it's their mark. This could def mean a repeat or him actually going against Larry Bird's old team the Celtics. This Mavs team has shown a lot of similarities to the 2011 which went against the Miami heat. This would mark their third time meeting up in the finals if the Heat do make it. Lots of 3's.

I love Laimbeer. Media today complains about his instigating, acting like all he could do was hack, but it gets forgotten he actually played great too. At one point he lead league in rebounds. Also as a 7 foot center in the 80s (let that sink in first) ...once hit 6 threes in a single game in the NBA Finals!!! He played to win and everything was calculated. But, you know, Detroit vs Everybody.

Please don't compare Luka Doncik to Larry Bird. IMO, comparing the refrigerator to a true Great is way off. Hey, the refrigerator hasn't undergone adversity, appears at season starts very overweight, doesn't know how to lead his team but knows how to iso well, has team mates or coaches he visibly dislikes disappear, has a huge ego...Bird was a true Great from the very beginning. Let the kid who doubles as a refrigerator pass through maybe 5 more years. Either he'll morph into a Great & true leader or he'll be another Westbrook or Harden: all stats nothing else.

@ruminator3570 2 года назад

Whether they won the title or not you can make a case that the 87 Celtics were the toughest team in league history. If you take into consideration what they lost during the draft and compound that with all the injuries they suffered. they pushed arguably the best Laker team of the '80s to six games and we're one miss shot away from changing the series.

@paullentz1972 Год назад

The Fakers had such an easy run to The 87 Finals...whereas The Celtics had to go through Milwaukee, Atlanta and Detroit to get to The Finals. Len Bias would have extended The Celtics run. No way does Magic win 5 championships if Len Bias had lived. Bias was a special talent.
