One of the biggest debate topics ever in Basketball history, being argued over for centuries, is whether Magic Johnson or Larry Bird was better. Personally (coming from a Celtics fan) I really admired how legend Larry Bird played the game. I see Larry Bird in myself as I play, both of us being tall white guys who can draw fouls and can play the ball quite well. On the other hand, Magic Johnson played a completely different position so it's difficult to compare the two. Although I really admire how Larry Bird played, I still have to give it to Magic Johnson for being one of the best players who ever played the game, with 17,707 points, 10,141 assists (11.2 per game! That's almost double Larry Bird.) and 6,559 rebounds. Magic Johnson is the assist god! But then again... Larry Bird got more points and rebounds. UGH, I can't choose between them. Let's hear your opinions!

I'm not the biggest basketball fan but i would have to say Larry bird. Just cause how often do you see a "white" basketball player that is that good. I'm not trying to be racist but there isn't many. Magic Johnson was a beast as well but i feel like there are more Magic Johnson's then there could be Larry bird if you know what i mean.

Different type of players; hard to say. I'm going to go with MJ just because he's one of my all-time favorite NBA players.

The flash that Magic Johnson played with was a wonderful to sight to see. Bird is awesome don't get me wrong but if I'm starting a team up and I have to choose one to be captain I'm choosing Magic. Not often you see a guy that tall with handles that silky smooth.

Larry Bird in my opinion but they both have great qualities.
