Theyd both be great... Bird would be like a Dirk, with better passing and rebounding... and MJ would still dominate... MJ was lightyears ahead of his time in athleticism, and even now there arent too many players that can match his overall athleticism.. Also, he was fundamentally sound, and had a killer drive to win.... Remember when he played for the Wizards? He was 40 years old and dropping 50 points on 'today's nba'... Imagine what he would've done in his prime... They have the hand check rule now, so that if you touch a player on the perimeter, its a foul.. Those are easy free throws for MJ so he's gonna score even more than he did when he played

Answer 6

It is called the Larry Bird exception not the Larry Bird rule, but anyway here it is.

Perhaps the most well-known of the NBA's salary cap exceptions, it is so named because the Boston Celtics were the first team permitted to exceed the salary cap to re-sign one of their own players (in that case, Larry Bird). Free agents who qualify for this exception are called "qualifying veteran free agents" or "Bird Free Agents" in the CBA, and this exception falls under the auspices of the Veteran Free Agent exception. In a nutshell, the Larry Bird exception allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign their own free agents, at an amount up to the maximum salary. To qualify as a Bird free agent, a player must have played three seasons without being waived or changing teams as a free agent. This means a player can obtain "Bird rights" by playing under three one-year contracts, a single contract of at least three years, or any combination thereof. It also means that when a player is traded, his Bird rights are traded with him, and his new team can use the Bird exception to re-sign him. Bird-exception contracts can be up to six years in length.
