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.


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.

Their primes didn't overlap and don't act like they did. Bird's last MVP was 86, Jordan's 3rd year in the league.

He won multiple MVPs over Bird when they were both in the League. Seriously what are you even talking about
