What makes Larry Bird so different from any other shooter that he's compared to is that Bird was so much more than a shooter. He was a 6-9 SF who could bang down low, rebound, and had the court sense of Jason Kidd. Maybe Morrison has as good a shot as Bird, and maybe he has a similar release, but that alone doesn't make you like Larry Bird.
