Larry Bird >>>> Michael Jordan
Posted by Unbiased Bama Fan on 5/16 at 2:17 pm
At being a NBA executive. He just won NBA Executive of the Year.

quote:


Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird was voted the NBA's Executive of the Year on Wednesday, becoming the first person to win that award, plus the MVP and Coach of the Year honors.

The Pacers went 42-24 and are tied 1-1 with Miami in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Bird's moves to strengthen the team during the offseason included promoting Frank Vogel from interim to head coach and signing starting forward David West.

He acquired point guard George Hill in a draft-night deal with San Antonio, and traded for Lou Amundson and Leandro Barbosa to fortify the bench for the Pacers, who earned the No. 3 seed in the East and had the fifth-best record in the league.

"This is an honor for the Indiana Pacers, not an award for Larry Bird," Bird said in a statement. "Everyone in this franchise put in a lot of work and showed a lot of patience as we have tried to get this team to a level on and off the court the fans in Indiana can be proud of. You always believe, and hope, the players you get will fit into a plan and I'm very proud of what our guys and our coaches have accomplished so far this year."

he's probably also a better gambler than Jordan, better at paying his taxes than Kareem, and a better late night talk show host than Magic

It's so rare for great players to even be decent executives. Nice to see Larry Legend taking the Jerry West career path and not the Wes Unseld.

The better question is who is worse as an exec out of Isiah or Mike.

MVP, Coach of the Year, Executive of the Year. I'm assuming Larry is the only one to get all three?

This. No one around him wants to disagree with the greatest to ever play the game.
