Re: Is Lebron the greatest SF of alltime?
I still find those All-D awards for Bird pretty shocking. It would be like Nash getting one today. I saw the guy play defense, he was a slow SF most of the time who could be beat off the dribble by most good SFs. He wasn't even that good a post defender despite his size. He could hang in the passing lanes and his outstanding court awareness would get him steals but he was not in any sense an above average defensive forward. That said, neither was Baylor by all accounts, being undersized with a scorer's mentality . . . not Charles Barkley bad but not a good defender either.
