Not Ironic, but he still is the greatest white player in NBA history, my apologies to the great Jerry West, and Pistol Pete.

Micheal Jordan is the greatest to play above-the-rim while Larry Bird is the greatest to play below-the-rim.
To quote Tom Heinsohn, "Larry Bird played chess while everybody played checkers. He is always two steps ahead of everybody!" ...couldn't run, couldn't jump, couldn't stop either!

Don't need to jump when you have an absolutely devastating jumpshot and could pass the rock.
He was 6'9". People say Dirk Nowitzki is like him, but Dirk can't handle the ball as well, and isn't as instinctive a passer. He can shoot REALLY well in crunch time....think MJ or Reggie Miller in a slower, paler, bigger body. The dude was CLUTCH.

Bird would just light you up from behind the 3-point line.

Why would that be ironic? Birds fly not jump.
