Michael Jordan vs. Larry Bird

[The Lone Drinker]

I remember the sega game when I was a kid. I wish I still had a Sega so I could buy "Jordan vs. Bird" online.

Anyway, Larry Bird pretty much dominated Magic Johnson in my last poll, which shocked me. I figured it'd be a close one.

But here is a hard one for ya and hopefully will live up to the hype.

I have been planning on having the winner of the Magic vs. Bird poll take on the so called "greatest basketball player of all time". The winner was no doubt Larry Bird.

Bird vs. Jordan. Three point King vs. Slam Duck King.

Many say Michael Jordan was the world's greatest basketball player on earth.....

.....But those people who say that probably never saw the beauty of the rare bird named Larry Bird in the 80's

My pick? Tough call, but I gotta go with Air Jordan.

Jordan could run like the wind, leap through the sky, hit three pointers, make no look passes, was a strong defensive player, he could make his teamates look good and overpower any pack of hyenas. [Just ask any old-school Detroit Piston.]

Larry Legend could hit three pointers, outsmart his opponents, make amazing no-look passes behind his back and over his head, and make his teammates better like no other could.

That's a great list, but notice Michael Jordan's list is longer. Air Jordan could do all of the above and more.

Larry Bird could not run, jump, or overpower anyone. So his Airness gets my vote.
