    Forgot his bday was same day as the day that will live in infamy

    CBS Sports Made a new Tribute Youtube

    This Montage includes way more passes than any I've seen in other vids. From my college buddy who grew up in Boston -- "it's the most comprehensive one I have seen, though someone will have to put one together with more of his defensive gems..."



    Should put to rest that Lebron is a better passer, much less better than Magic. (let the derails begin)

    Magic and Bird are the two best passers ever....because they are much taller than the PGs who had equal vision and passing skills. Just an unfair height advantage over them, to see over the defense and pass from higher angles.

    That fake pass at the 1:19 is hilarious. Poor guy. I've never seen that play before.

    rep to anyone who can figure out who #44 is....or even just the team, and we can figure it out from bbreference

    Most complete coverage of The Steal that I've seen in awhile. Forgot Bird has fallen to the floor way on the other side.

    Bird was clearly a better passer. Averaging basically the same number of assists in the flow of the game, NOT as a point forward. It's remarkable...

    man, that mad house scene of fans rushing the floor after the title. Check out Bird's escape from the floor.
