I think I like Old Man better than Geezer...Geezer implies someone in thier 70s or something...I will also disagree about defense nowadays. I don't think many of the players today have the footwork & desire needed to play D. I see it all the time in these young cats. You gotta have heart to play good D which most of these guys don't have.Originally Posted by MonStar1
Ok geezer. Anyways I agree with him scoring on offense especially the way rules are today. BUT on the defensive end. Also I have seen ALOT of basketball and I'm not that young lolOriginally Posted by psk2310

1. He would have to play defense. I'm sorry the way SF handle the ball in 2012> 1980's. I can see him struggling alot of nights.
2. His jumper and IQ would still be tops in the league but he wouldn't be able to get to the basket or finish at the same rate as the 80's.
3. LeBron is better. And I hate LeBron stans. LeBron isn't clutch, isn't a great shooter, and has limited post moves. BUT he impacts the game much greater than Larry which hurts me to say
Listen here young buck (lol), Bird was regularly guarded by guys like Dennis Rodman, Rick Mahorn, Xavier McDaniels back then & defenders were allowed to be much more physical than they are no & Bird had no problems getting to the hole & knocking down a J right in thier grills. Aside from all his personal antics, Rodman is one of the best front court defenders to ever play the game & Bird handled him no problem. There isn't a front court player out there now that can play defense remotely close to Rodman.
That young buck thing is joke BTW. Don't take any of this seriously. This amounts to a barber shop sports dicussion. Got it?
