Yeah no way Gradey will be able to pass it...or rebound as well as bird did. [Reply]

I don’t see any reason he can’t at least be another Kyle Korver with that quick release at 6’7”.

“My parents couldn't afford to give me any money," Bird said, as narrated by Indianapolis. "So I wanted to sit out a year and work, and then go to college. But it didn't happen that way," Bird added. "My decision to leave wasn't that I wanted to leave, it was that I felt like I had to leave."

People talk about how Bird would get worked now, but if came up during this era where you make millions and have personal trainers year round, he would own the league.
And when Bird played, the 3 pointer was kind of a secondary shot because many teams played through the low post.
I mean, the man farmed during the off season, and would routinely drink beer before and after games.
This may sound crazy to some, but I believe that Bird may be the best passer the league has ever seen. And if he devoted himself to staying in shape and shooting thousands of threes in the off season, he would have been Curry like.
