since the poll didnt stipulate what were voting on i voted bird

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 25 March 2009 16:52 (sixteen years ago)

we're voting on who was a better player jordan or bird as opposed to who had better hair cut jordan or bird

Jordan. Never liked Bird, possibly because I grew up in the LA area.

jordan would demolish bird in one on one. thus, jordan

Leif ericsonned (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 25 March 2009 18:17 (sixteen years ago)

"Jordan played a mere 33 more games than Bird. Why so many more trips to the line? Jordan was notorious for drawing 'excessive sympathy' from referees. Average trips to the line per game - MJ 8, Bird 4."

Hahaha

srsly tho bird was a better shooter passer and rebounder

ice cr?m, Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:31 (sixteen years ago)

least likely to costar in homoerotic underwear commercials w/kevin bacon

okay yes Bird in those commercials would make them veer from "unbearable" straight into "directly from Satan's asshole", I stand corrected

I have a work email to finish, someone plz point me at some stats that I can look at re: "Bird was a better shooter" because on the face of it that seems like it's batshit insanity to me

BADGES DON'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO WALTZ OFF WITH A BABY (HI DERE), Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:34 (sixteen years ago)

last two are debatable. at least they would be with someone who isn't know it all jones. xp

dan, beter shooter from distance, don't you think?

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:35 (sixteen years ago)

hmm, I can see that argument I guess, I just really hated Bird and his era of the Celtics so I don't want to give him credit for being anything other than a big ugly guy

BADGES DON'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO WALTZ OFF WITH A BABY (HI DERE), Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:37 (sixteen years ago)

im talking shooting here dan not scoring just u know jump shooting - a skill in which bird is widely considered to be one of the greatest of all time - a skill which jordan didnt really become proficient at until the second half of his career - anyway birds got 5% points on jordan for career 3pt% - jordans @ 33% and birds @ 38%

ice cr?m, Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:40 (sixteen years ago)

birds got 4 rebounds a game on jordan and 1 assist - the one assist is more impressive than it seems since jordan had the ball in his hands a lot more than bird did - another way of looking at this is bird used a way higher % of his possessions on passing than jordan did - also he played a position which generally gets less assists - and once again bird is widely considered to be a great passer - u should check out some old youtubes - guy had incredible court vision

ice cr?m, Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:43 (sixteen years ago)

between the two it would actually be a sort of interesting argument if jordan hadnt been a world class defender and bird a shitty one - i mean if they had similar defensive skills id still take jordan but itd be close

but mj played a position that gets less rebounds. 6 rebs for a guard is equiv to 9ish for a forward, but Bird still has the edge with 10rpg. when mj was point at the point at the end of '89, he got, what, 17 straight trip dubs?

carne asada, Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:52 (sixteen years ago)

its kinda funny considering hes such a symbol of whiteness and old school sentimentality and other such bullshit - but some people kinda have forgotten how good he was - guy absolutely deserves his spot in the pantheon

ice cr?m, Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:53 (sixteen years ago)

he had good hand but slooow feet - those defensive second teams are pretty o_O imo

brid was a sm forward - theres not a +3 rebound between that and 2 guard - jordan was great as a point guard def (tho i think the number was more like 6 straight trip dubs and 10 out of 20 or something) - still id like to see the numbers but im sure birds assist ratio would just crush jordans - plus he did crazy mind blowing fancy passes all day long

ice cr?m, Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:59 (sixteen years ago)

also bird never got a chance to play point :( sure he couldve lit up the assists too

ice cr?m, Thursday, 26 March 2009 17:00 (sixteen years ago)

just to go back to the D bird was crafty def a good team defender but he could not keep guys in front of him - especially in the 2nd half of his career

ice cr?m, Thursday, 26 March 2009 17:01 (sixteen years ago)

don't mind me i'm just searching ilh for "v" but fwiw jordan's career ast% = 24.9 including peaks of 34.7 and 28.6 a couple years (and then 30.8 again in 2002, wth); bird's is 24.7% with peaks 0f 28.6 and 28.9 but pretty consistently in the 25s to 27s. jordan also turned the ball over far less often, 9.3% for his career compared with 12.7 for bird
