Bird was a better shooter, no doubt.
Lebron is a better athlete and a better slasher.
Lebron was a better perimeter defender (particularly earlier in his career). Bird was better in the post before his back betrayed him.
Hard to say who the better passer was. The video doesn’t give much in the way of separation. I don’t think there’s anything passing wise that one could do in their prime that the other could not have done.
The overall edge goes to Lebron because of his durability. Bird just can’t match his production over the long haul, but Bird was an ALL TIME great, full stop.
@mayjay they drove straight thru, last I knew 19 hrs. Sump pump w/battery pack is in today. High dollar! Restoration people still not there! Carpet soaked since wed pm. He said the smell is bad! Mildew!
Heard Dedric is now a Spur. Maybe I can see him if he starts out with Austin Spurs.
Per Matt Tait:
Undrafted in June after an All-American season at Kansas in 2018-19, Lawson reportedly has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Spurs. This is different than a two-way deal in which a player splits time between the NBA club and its G League affiliate and, in some ways, is better.
Exhibit 10 contracts are basically non-guaranteed, one-year deals worth the league minimum. That number, for a player with 0 years of experience last season was $838,000. Not bad.

@justanotherfan Who eliminates you is sometimes a measure of whether a team choked or just got beat by a good team. Since I came to KU in 1985 they’ve lost twice in the first round, and Bradley went on and made the sweet 16. So (other than the probation year) KU has lost to a team that made the sweet 16 every year except the Bucknell year.
Wiggins is a good NBA player. He is not a star. Unfortunately, he is on a star contract, so he is a hard player to fit into anyone’s cap situation.
As for Westbrook and Harden, they will have to figure out how to work on the court together because there is no way Houston can avoid playing them heavy minutes together in the playoffs.

@BShark Justin Rose was the only one who caught Woodland all day, with a birdie on the opening hole. Rose bogeyed from the bunker on No. 2 as Woodland birdied, and he never caught up. Rose fell out of the race with three bogeys in a four-hole
