Did you watch Larry Bird play at the Olympics in '92? This is just one stop on what was a remarkable playing career, having started with the Celtics in 1978!
I wish I could have.  I've seen highlights.  I admire his confidence!
He paid a steep price for that aggressive style. Bird thinks he could've had a longer career if he wasn't so pedal-to-the-metal.
Yeah, but length in the league doesn't always equate to the most memorable.  We may not be talking about him today if he hadn't been so agressive.
That's a great point. Who are some of your other favorite NBA players?
Obviously Malone, Magic, Shaq, Kobe MJ and Lebron. How about you?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar remains one of the all-time greats. Compared with Bird, he had a more fluid and graceful style.
Agreed, However I think Bird is someone who could play in the present day league, whereas Kareem would be a good big man, but doesn't have a perimeter game.
That's a great point. Do you think Lebron is the best player on the court these days?
All around, yes, however I'd rather have Steph right now
