I know Larry was one of the best ever, but is Mullin ALMOST as good?

larry bird and magic saved the nba. i hardly think mullin could have made any kind of significant impact. but he was serviceable and a bit stunted with drinking problems as i recall.

Mullen was a great College Player..Scored a ton of points without the luxury of the 3pt shot. As for what for pro career's, Larry "legend" is a no brainer.

absolutely identity. same as wilt,russell, jabbar,west,magic,and given how the 2 teams are performing after this player moved on:shaq. larry legend was unreal. identity out of curiosity how old are you?im 32 but remember how awsome he was and how different the nba was back then. you seem to know your sports so im wondering if maybe you were too young to see the greatness of larry bird in his prime.

I'm the biggest Chris Mullin fan ever. Anyone that could drink 20 beers a day(which he did about every day in college) and average 20 points a game was ok in my book. He had a much better pro career than most people realize. He averaged over 25 points a game for 5 straight years. He played 16 years and averaged over 18 points a game for his career. He was a better shooter than Bird. That being said, he is nowhere near the player Larry Bird was. Bird was a better passer and averaged 10 rebounds a game. Chris Mullin should be a Hall of Famer but Larry Bird was one of the top 5 players of all time.

Yes if you are taking about 3rd grade reading.

If I had to compare Larry Bird to someone white and also playing in the same Era as he was I would compare him to Tom Chambers. If Chambers was a Celtic(better team)he would even be better. Just my opinion. Thanks. GL.
