So could Larry Bird start for this year's Celtics team? Maybe, probably, definitely, I don't know, but I just hate how people consistently make these claims about how great the players as a whole were back in the '80s. I think the players of today match up well enough.
And I hate how you tweek the thread. "We" aren't claiming that basketball was any better or worse in the 80's, dude. This is simply a thread about Larry Bird playing for the '10 Celts.
Sure, players of today match up evenly. What's your point?
