Dirk is a better shooter than Bird, but Bird was a better passer than Dirk, Dirk is more of a match-up nightmare because of hie size, 7 feet, but Bird is a better team leader than Dirk........................Even. :o

Larry Bird. Not only did he have an amazing shooting stroke from the three-point line, but his basketball IQ's way above Dirk's league.

I think Bird was a great player and I am not trying to stain the legen of Larry Bird in any way, But I can see some verry real similaritys between Bird and Dirk.
1) Both are unstopable shooters, Dirk may be a little better.
2) Both are good at handling the ball comming down the court and in the low post.
3) Both are great passers, but I will give Bird the edge here.
4) Both are mentally tuff.
5) Both can take over a game, Dirk putting 53 against T-Mac and the Rockets, Dirk putting 50 on the Suns last year in a playoff game, And Larry with his classic wars against the Lakers, Bulls and Pistions.
6) Both are Catalysts and team leaders of their respective team's, Here I will give Bird the edge.
7) Both are White guys in predominantly A Black Mans game.

Now at this point in their careers (7-10 years) Bird already had won a title, but he came from a storied team with a winning tradition like the Celtics, whereas Dirk did not. only time will tell if Dirk can stand up to the standard set by Bird., but his career is not over yet, so we will see.

After further review I will give Larry Bird the nod over Dirk, but I still think that Dirk has the potential to be as good as Bird.



BTW: My drug of choice is Columbian Gold.........................................Coffe e, I am hooked Man, I need another fix, I cant leave the stuff alone. HA HA HA.......................... Oh well, I think I will get another cup.
