Bird or Dirk ?

[Ratt Mhule]

Sports Illustrated has an All-Time NBA greats poll up. One of the questions is which small forward you'd want, and both Bird and Dirk are options. Unsurprisingly, Bird is dominating.

Here are my answers:

Jordan

Wilt Chamberlain

Kevin Garnett

Bird

Jordan

Tough choice but I went with Stockton. Magic is, not surprisingly, running away with this, though.

Reggie Miller as three-point specialist. Dude was a stone-cold assassin from behind the arc.

Derrick Rose as my under-22 nucleus. Bulls homerism, but he's worthy.

I went with Phil Jackson as my coach. More Bulls homerism, but he's also worthy.

Dirk was an option for PF, Bird was an option for SF. They both were not an option for SF.

My answers:

Jordan

Shaq (Could not be stopped in his prime)

Dirk (Homer pick. Tough choice between Duncan, Malone and Garnett. Out of those three, Id have to pick Duncan even though I hate the Spurs, hes still a great player and very humble)

Larry Bird

MJ

Magic Johnson

Reggie Miller

Kobe

Kevin Durant-under 22 (Rose is very deserving also and also Griffin)

Phil Jackson (Tough choice between him, Auerbach and crater faced Popovich, sorry like I said I hate the Spurs so I have to take my jabs but I still think hes a great coach)
