On November 11, 1987, Bird completed the first 40-point – 20-rebound game in Celtics history against the Indiana Pacers
This is the time of year when low rumbles morph into loud speculations about who will win the various NBA performance awards. Following the conclusion of the regular season later this month, the Most Valuable Player, Sixth Man of the Year, and so on, will be named.
A few of the likely MVP candidates include LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Love; players such as Jason Terry, James Harden and Lou Williams are a few who have garnered Sixth Man consideration.
It’s rare that one team produces both an MVP player and the league’s Sixth Man in a single season. In the 1995-96 season, Chicago Bulls’ Michael Jordan and Toni Kukoc grabbed the titles, respectively. The Bulls went on to win the championship. Ten years before that, Larry Bird and Bill Walton of the Boston Celtics were honored with the awards. Their team also won the title that season, in 1985-86. ( writer’s note – most recently Allen Iverson and Aaron McKie won in 2000-01, but Sixers didn’t win the title)

Larry Bird was the complete player in every sense of the term and he did it in a generation where the competition included some of the greatest names in NBA history. I would argue that he's a better scorer than Bird in the same way that I would argue that Paul Pierce might be the greatest scorer in the history of the Boston Celtics. ) Pierce is made the All-NBA team 4 times(and only once was second team. In an era with those players, Bird won 3 MVP awards and 3 NBA titles. Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest basketball players the NBA has ever seen. Bird was the best all-around player who only had Magic as his equal. Bird was a hustle player with the heart of a lion. Dirk is the most impossible cover in the NBA, and shoots better than Ray Allen....

Who are the best to never grab a championship ring? At one time he rivaled Charles Barkley in the way he'd grab a defensive rebound and drive to score on the other end, while still approximating Larry Bird's touch from long range. As he grew, he refined those wily instincts, stayed a scorer, |
