I know that my opinion on lebron now means nothing just cause I am a heat fan. Still how is the notion that Lebron might be better than Bird at some point a crazy idea. Yes Bird is one of the greatest of all time, top 10 for sure. You guys think Lebron won't end up as one of the top 10 greatest players of all time? Statistically his numbers will be insane if he plays a full career. And yes he has to win rings, lots of them and I think he will get them.
Right now of course it's insulting to Bird to say Lebron is better, that isn't what they are saying. I really don't see it as crazy that Lebron ends up one of the very all time greats. But what do I know I am a Heat fan.
