Its not just the All-Star game...the regular season is basically a 3-point shooting contest (shite, maybe Bird should come out of retirement, bad back and all, he could drop dimes on these lazy defenders slash entertainers defense. This is 70s basketball... All for show, you get yours, I'll get mine.

Even when the Joker won the title he said, "I'm just glad its over...now I can get back to my horses.". Meaning, he was tired of " performing ".

Jordan wept on the floor.

The NBA has become a dog and pony show. I think its a legit question if its still a legit sport. It seems to have drifted to millionaires just trying to entertain for a few hours, with no care about outcomes.

He doesn't love basketball. He's just all-time great at playing it.

You don't think plenty of players in the 80s and 90s felt the same? This is a job, after all.

Larry would have to get up and down the court first. He's not doing that at 67 lol.
But on a serious note with the way the game is played today, Bird would be the perfect player to dominate today. He was a 40% shooter only taking 2-3 3's a game. He would be taking a minimum of 7-8 3's a game now if he played.

No fool, that just means that basketball is not the only thing he enjoys doing in life.
