Who Was the Better Player

magic had the team.....bird didnt.......look at what Larry did.....with the ""rejects""...not really but they wasn't a Lakers team team squad.....!!!!!!

Magic, but it's very close. SUPER CLOSE. Too close to not start a fight that nobody is gonna win. Personally, I got Magic 5 all time and Bird 7 All time. But, if you flip flop it, I'm not gonna win either. My argument is that, while Bird was a better scorer, he couldn't play all 5 positions and be the best player on the court at any time, any day, any position. That's all I got. Razor thin between the two of them.

Bird is the only non-center to win 3 consecutive MVPs joining Wilt & Russell & Bird is the founding member of the 50-40-90 - club and one of only 3 players to have multiple seasons & 1 of only 2 players to do it consecutively. Magic 🎩 Johnson was my childhood hero & like Magic, I know Bird is the all-around GOAT. Bird also won 3 straight 3pt contests & Bird never lost a 3pt contest.

love both players....Larry bird was someone you dont mess with...ask the players....he put up the numbers...!!!!...magic was there in a scale of 1 to 100.....100 being the best......bird....94ish..... magic was 88-90ish....bird was a sniper a killer ....im telling ya...and i love these players....

Bird is the all-around GOAT. No player in NBA history can shoot, rebound & pass better than Larry Bird.

Bird's 3 MVPs were back to back. Only Wilt and Kareem have done it other than him.

bird was on another level....people dont understand

I woukd give the edge to bird

Larry Bird!!

Who was the best - they were the best. True rivalry not made up
