While being bored over Christmas at the in-laws I watched an old game on ESPN ('85 Finals game 4) and caught the last of the 3rd quarter and all of the 4th. In this game Bird took over in the fourth and was absolutely awesome. He nailed the outside shots, stole the ball a couple of times and blocked some shots and was the difference maker in this game. I was really impressed and found myself on the edge of my seat to see what he was going to do next. He even threw a creative shot over his head backwards when going to the basket and it almost went in only bouncing off the rim. This made me sorry I never paid any attention to him, however this is really b/c I did not get into Basketball until I was twelve in '92 and by then his back was so bad I guess he didn't have much left in him. Those of you who followed Bird and Magic, which of the two were the better one?
