Hopefully, what has happened to Micheal will not only prove valuable to other NBA players but to the whole society in general!! Just a thought . . . Dan Van Handel drutx!dtvh

His shot is *probably* better than Bird's, and his passing is at least as good. But Bird is a much better rebounder, is a better free throw shooter, and has that ability to make everyone else look a lot better than they are. I despise the Celtics, but Bird is definitely the league's MVP. Dave Van Handel P.S: I hate the Celtics ONLY because of their fans.
