That would be an all time match up but a 2 on 2 match up is different then 5 on 5 so I think I would have to go with Kobe and Lebron because they are morephysically gifted but damn it would be great to watch...

Bron/Hiss FTW
SERIOUSLY?!

Forget about defense because that wouldn't even be a factor. Bird will hit almost every shot and the ones he miss will be rebounded by Magic. Who's gonna stop the put back by Magic?
@ you youngins.
Ya'll dudes actin' like all Bird has to do is take 2 steps and fade.
Put LBJ on Bird and Hiss on Magic.
Bron would ram the rock down Bird's throat all. game. long.
And defensively, I don't care how much you guys try to amp Bird up as some "better than you think" type defender... He just wouldn't be able to hold Lebron.
Even if you switch the matchups, Magic wouldn't be able to back down Bron in the post. And 24 would blow by Legend all day
it works both ways though... you think make it sound like Kobe and LBJ would lock down Magic & Bird....
like I said before, Bird was MUCH more of a complete player than just a spot up 3 pt shooter like some of you guys think of him to be...... not to mentionBird could move well without the ball and Magic could find him cutting to the hoop.... I'm just saying it works both ways...

man I'd take Pip/MJ on that one.... especially since both MJ and Pip were better defensive players than Kobe & James and both of them could shoot from the outside... not sure about LeBron's shooting yet...

But as slightly overrated a defender (before this year) as I thought Snake was, he IS good enough to contain Bird.
And Bron is basically Magic on steroids. No contest (in this scenario).
24 is at his absolute peak right now. To say he's not one of the smartest players in the game today is crazy. This is not the same Hiss who wasgiddy when he stepped on the court against MJ and got schooled at the ASG. I just can't see him getting schooled by Bird as easily as you suggest.Originally Posted by BullsRepeat3Peat

ya Kobe is physically good enough to contain Bird, but is he smart enough? Bird was one of the smartest players to ever play and could get off a quality shot when he needed to...
as for LeBron, he is not the player EJ was....... don't get me wrong he's a great player, but to call him basically Magic on steroids and say there is no contest is laughable
I never said Kobe isn't one of the smartest... he's just not smarter than Bird was... and his shot selection still is somewhat questionable attimes, even though he's really improved on that.... and I never said Bird would easily school him either....Originally Posted by SHUGES

Me saying Bron is Magic on steroids just means that LBJ is unlike anything we've ever seen in the L. A combo of size, speed, and power. He can pass like Magic (not as pretty but he can still drop some beautiful dimes). He can rebound like Magic. He can dribble like Magic. His shot is not as good as Magic's. But people for some reason always think of Magic as some long range bomber when in fact he wasn't. Magic was more of a post/baby hook guy than a perimeter player. Bron is faster than Magic. And he finishes/is more explosive than Magic.
Again, not saying he's better than Magic. But the sky is the limit for Lebron.
