Re: Who was more important to their team Magic or Bird
I'm just going to come right out and say it. I think this might be the stupidest question ever posted on here. Enjoy the thread, all.

Re: Who was more important to their team Magic or Bird
How can we measure player importance to the team regarding 2 of the greatest team players ever?
In that sense, i agree with SeaNet.

Re: Who was more important to their team Magic or Bird
Those of us who watched Magic play center in that 1980 Finals game got the impression that nobody could possibly have a bigger role in their team's performance; but Bird held his own in that regard.
So yeah, coin flip.

Re: Who was more important to their team Magic or Bird
If you put them together you get a Magic Bird...I wonder how important a Magic Bird is to a NBA Franchise...
I wonder what it looks like, and wonder what it does....Something Magical I hope.

If you were to offer me 44 million dollars right now, I would offer to give you a ring made out of 3 of my fingers, part of my penis, and any other body part you would like. JO wants to win? Great. If I'd make a penis ring for 44 million dollars, JO would stay in Indy and lose for it as well.

Re: Who was more important to their team Magic or Bird
I would say Magic, since I think he's the better player (in fact, I consider him to be the greatest).
