Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4322497, member: 44"] It’s a valid point, in its own way, but go google a video on bird to see how dominant he was in his era. His passing alone was amazing. He just saw things that other people didn’t. Danny Ainge talks about how he would ask the ball boy to find the scoring record in visiting arenas and then he would go out to break them. Another favorite story is one day he announced to his teammates and the press that he would play the following nights game entirely left-handed at least through the first 3 qtrs. At the end of 3 he had 29 points, all left-handed. He often would tell the opposing player who was covering him exactly where he was going to get the ball and the shot he was going to take and then tell him there was nothing to do to stop it. Then he would get the ball exactly where he said he would, a take the shot he said he would, and make it [/QUOTE]
