Bird won 3 NBA MVPs in a row (which only 3 players have done) and finished 2nd 6 times. Between 1980-1989 Larry Bird received 67% of MVP votes.
If Larry Bird played from 1990 - 1998 he wouldn't have won MVPs. It just so happens that Barkley's prime was the same as Jordan's and Jordan is way better than anyone else.

Barkley couldn't even drink beer with Bird. He said on the Dream Team he hung out with Bird one day and was so hungover the next day after just drinking a bunch of Bud.
No one could hang with MJ on the Dream Team and most of the players even admitted it. And WTF does drinking beer have to do with playing basketball?

Wut?
Bird won NBA MVPs over Dr. j, Magic, Kareem AND Michael Jordan (Jordan entered the league in 1984 for christsakes) and Bird played until 1992. Both Bird and MJ won MVP their 4th year in the league.
Jordan had plenty of time to win MVPs over Bird...and opportunities to beat him in the playoffs but he never could.
