No i'm not butthurt. No it wasn't one of the best finals. Lakers and Celtics were much better. But hey i am not the one who thinks Dirk is better than Bird. lol.
I never once said Dirk is better than Bird in that thread. I voted Dirk because he is my favorite player and I was too young to actually see Bird play. Im not going to vote for someone when I haven't seen one of their games.
I also said in that thread that before its said or done, Dirk will be a legend. He made that prediction look pretty good in the playoffs last year.
I didn't see Bird play either but you know there is a thing called the internet which i am sure you could find some footage. Plus he played against better players than Dirk has.
One ring won't make you a legend. Did you also forget the years before he choked in the playoffs? He would have to continue to build from last year and not regress but he is like 33/34 he doesn't have much time and i don't think he has enough left to come close to being a legend.
How many rings does John Stockton have? How about Karl Malone? Reggie Miller? Patrick Ewing?
And those other playoffs were hardly his fault.
His career average is 23 pts. 8.5 reb. 2.7 assts.
His career playoff numbers are 25.9 pts. 10.4 reb. 2.6 asst. and last seasons playoffs were not even his highest ppg average at 27.7.
11x All-NBA
10x NBA All-star
2007 NBA MVP
2011 NBA Champion and Finals MVP
Not to mention 38% career 3 pt. percentage for a 7 footer! Are you kidding me?
Your telling me those are not numbers of a legend.
