There are people who still say Larry Bird should never have even been an all star. But who I don’t hear saying that are players who played against him, like Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Dr. J, etc.

Anyone who would say so is a fool. Larry Bird beat blacks Johnson & Kareem (Lakers) in the 1984 Finals, and was MVP. He also beat blacks Akeem Olajuwon & Ralph Sampson (Rockets) in 1986 Finals and was also named MVP.

Robert Parrish, and Dennis Johnson, who are black, were also on the Celtics, as well as Danny Ainge and Kevin McHale.
