also my suggestion

i see the "larry bird" as having limited physical ability but he finds great success by an incredibly high skill level as well as a major competitiveness. zidane had major issues due to his lack of speed early on. he turned out ok

honorable mention: riquelme

Did Larry have a temper? Did Larry ever say, "hmmm, im not getting my way right now, I think i'll go headbutt magic"? Larry has to much class over Zidane in my opinion. I would compare him more to the likes of Alan Shearer, the great English striker. Both are known for their physical style of play and were prolific scorers. But if your looking for a big name, that never really changed the game but owned the game, then I would go with Romário

Did Magic ever call Larry's sister a prostitute?

Zinedine Zidane had limited physical ability if you disregard insignificant things like coordination, balance, and strength

Did Bill Laimbeer ever coach? If so, it's safe to say he's the equivalent of Mourinho.

Yes but Zidane is a little b*tch, and I would hate to compare Bird to that prick
