    If Larry Bird had been black, he'd be just another good player.

    Larry Bird is the reason white people wake up in the morning.

    It was either Rodman or Isiah Thomas.

    Could you imagine him trying to chase LeBron around the court?

    Yeah, it took me a while to remember. I couldn't remember who said it and who agreed, though.

    lol. 50% 10 RPG and 25 ppg and 6 APG for a career is not something many players achieve. I do agree that he gets played up a little because he was so unique.

    Shoot, we don't have a single player averaging any of those numbers, let alone all of them.

    I know your reference, but if you look in modern times, if Larry Bird had been black, he'd be considered one of the two best players in history with Michael Jordan, and Magic may be just behind them.
