Larry Bird in the modern 3pt shooting era would be a cheat code. 6’9 Curry-Jokic hybrid with better defense

can play off ball too and also a legit interior defender.

He was a good defender in general. Made 3 all defense teams.

Just with the medical treatment alone today Larry would be a cheat code.

He was 6’9 barefoot. Prob could add an inch or two to his official height today. He’d be a walking triple double in today’s hyper centric offenses

Russell is the best Celtic ever but Bird is a close second.

fair enough and there’s a reason number 6 got retired leaguewide.

There is a distinction between greatest and best. Russell is without a doubt the greatest Celtic ever. But I’d say Bird is the best Celtic.

Sorry, kid. But bill Russell is the absolute biggest and baddest Celtic ever

He and Pierce, the only two Celtics to win the shootout I think.

Antoine had an all time embarrassing showing though.

The legend is that Larry had a few beers before this 3 pt contest. Maybe several.

“Long Distance Shootout” is a hilarious name ngl

If I remember correctly, it was because AT&T was the sponsor and “long distance” (waka waka!).

Second only to MJ. The ultimate competitor and winner.

I’ll always laugh at the one time Charles Barkley was telling the story and he accidentally said that RAY ALLEN was in the locker room with him and Bird that night and Shaq kept roasting him, talking about the 3 point shootout between John Havlicek and Dirk Nowitzki.

And he received $12,500 for that win. That wouldn’t even cover his bar tab ~~after~~ during the game.

Before the 1988 3PT Contest (then-called the ‘Long Distance Shooutout’), Larry Bird walked into the locker room and asked his fellow All Stars “so who’s coming in 2nd?”. He went on to win his 3rd straight title without even taking off his warmup jacket. 🐐
