OK..... how does one season make an argument?
? I didn't make an argument
There are a lot of people who view Bird as a shooter. He's one of the best all around players the game has ever seen. I'm not saying he's better than Lebron or anything, but the dude is certainly a top 5 player in my mind.

Bird had one of the best all-around seasons in history in 1985-86 I believe. I ain't lookin' it up, but I remember when I was young how he was all the talk because of what he was doing historically against absolute incredible competition at the time.
Game was different, but it was extremely physical and sometimes downright violent. You had bigger bodies in the paint and high flying forwards. We act like the game is so much different. Really only the guard position is what is so different. The athleticism of the guards in today's game is different, but guys like Moses Malone, Dr. J. Michael Jordan, Dominque Wilkins, Chocolate Thunder, Charles, Hakeem, Robinson, Kareem, Magic, etc.. these guys were some very high quality athletes Bird was going against.
Go watch the video where he tells Portland he wanted to take it easy on em' and shoot left handed.
It is insanely stupid.. Had dudes wanting to fist fight on the floor.
