    LBJ

    His Defense was significantly better

    LeBron can play/defend about 4 positions.

    Can you imagine him playing on those Celtic teams? I think they win just as many, if not more rings if LBJ is on the roster
    lebron has also coached* his team to a ring. Bird doesn't have that on his resume

    Yall get too caught up in purely stats.

    Put LeBron on those 80s Celtics teams they're liable to win every chip in the decade

    Put Bird on those Cavs teams and they might not make it out the east let alone win a chip.

    Nobody remembers the coaches Bird won rings with tho. He was the heart and soul of those teams. McHale was a monster too.

    I would love to see lebron defense and offense with the 80's physicality! Freight train offense w/ an established no fly zone in the paint on defense! He would be GOAT if he played with that generation of smokers and alcoholics

    Bird was a bad ? ... he feared no one, took an ass whooping and kept balling. Shoot the lights out on you. With that said due to LBJ physical abilities you can't not go with him]

    Bron is clearly not ? with the likes of Bird, Isiah, Jordan when it comes to mental toughness

    Dr. J was on some peaceful MLK ? his whole career, only Bird was able to provoke that ? to violence lol

    The only reason that guys are faster nowadays is because of the more advanced training methods available today. Bird would of been bigger and faster too if he had access to it.
