Well, now everybody's heard about the Bird.

dejavoodoo64		2012-05-17 09:16:03 AM

Everybody knows that Bird is the word.

/Don't forget NBA championships and Olympic Gold Medal.

You mean MVP, subby?

/He didn't win the defensive player of the year, that's for sure.

He won numerous player of the year awards in college.

But he wasn't bad. Three All-Defensive Second Teams. Not your typical all offense / olé defense power forward.

Don't forget father of the year.

obeymatt		2012-05-17 10:46:49 AM

Didn't he win the Naismith and the Wooden awards too?

p the boiler		2012-05-17 10:52:54 AM

I thought Pacer fans wanted him out as far back as last year

skankboy		2012-05-17 11:11:57 AM

He is not aging very well...

JoePiscopoJr.		2012-05-17 11:23:23 AM

Also winner of NBA's dyke look-a-like award

LoneWolf343		2012-05-17 12:00:02 PM

An inspiration to white men everywhere.

We'll leave such evaluations in your no doubt expert hands.

how about redneck of the year? have there been any rednecks (guys with southern accents) in the NBA since him?

/seriously

INDIANA IS NOT THE SOUTH.

Especially considering he wasn't a PF

Tjos Weel: INDIANA IS NOT THE SOUTH.

Southern Indiana, including the French Lick area, falls into the southern dialect range and cultural range.

REDNECKS ARE NOT UNIQUE TO THE SOUTH.

This is not a repeat from the 3rd grade.

How do you catch a unique rabbit?

Unique up on him.

//Tame way.

I know you really, really want to make this point because he's white, but you're opening up a pandora's box.

Antonio Cromartie. Your argument is invalid.

skinink		2012-05-17 02:11:08 PM

Should have won more championships. Watching him and DJ as teammates was awesome. Bird and Bill Walton was also a good pairing.

The real Rookie of the Year.

'86 was pure heaven. I'd put that team up against any other.

TheKillingJoke		2012-05-18 12:42:48 AM

At least there's one thing he beats Jordan and Magic at.

As sad as it may be, he probably beats them in a mustache contest too.
