    I'm partial to Larry, but I enjoyed the video. The problem with matching players from different eras is that the rules and type of play varies enough to almost make it an apples to oranges comparison. The 80s were a much rougher era while the modern game is much more offense-oriented, especially beyond the arc. But that said, I would have had Larry win because I think he would adapt well to the modern game, while KD might have more trouble in the 80s. But as KD himself said, unless we can open a rip in spacetime, there's just no way to know.

      @@m10sz68 Larry is a 6'10" forward who could fake anyone when (and if) he would shoot. He could have passed it to himself again. KD wouldn't know. KD MIGHT block the ball, but Larry's high arc (and after the hours they played) and high IQ would have figured exactly where to arc the ball pass KD.

    If you are going for accuracy, Bird hits the winning shot then falls on Durant's trainer's lap after he called it.

    @Local_Laydee Год назад +6

    This was damn accurate! Except the block and steal by KD at the end. Bird Always makes them when they count. He would have told KD straight up where he's going to shoot and even what move. And make it.

    I just realized, if Bird hurt his back here, that means KD fought a nearly retired Bird. This means a semi-prime KD equals a 30% Larry Bird.
