Everyone knew he had some passing skills, but man, I just watched some old clips of him, and he knew how to move the ball around for a guy his size. If he averaged 10 asts I bet he still would have average 25 + pts a game. I dont care how talented Magic Johnson was as a PG, I believe that Bird had as much skill passing the ball as Magic, the only problem was that he didnt utilize it enough. Of course it stood out, 6.3 apg for his career, but he could had been even better, as a triple-double threat. Larry Bird was a great scorer, great rebounder, shooter, and passer. He also had a knack for stealing the ball.
Agreed. People know he was a great passer, but 6 APG is absolutely incredible for anyone, let alone a SF
