Dirk vs Bird...

[chumdawg]

I see no reason to dismiss this comparison out of hand on the basis that "Larry is a legend." Dirk will probably finish his career in a much more legendary fashion than the Celtics hoopster. First international superstar...unique, game-changing player. Probably ends up with as many rings as Bird, probably surpasses all his stats while playing a longer career.

I don't think there is any question that Dirk is a legend in the making. Do you have to wait until something hits you in the face before you can see it coming?
