Kevin Durant: I'm not comparing myself to no human being in anything that I do. I'm inspired by people, don't get me wrong. And I want to emulate great people and successful people. I want to do what they do and I want to learn from people who make mistakes. But I'm not sitting here trying to be better than you, I'm going out there in the gym working on my shot saying, "Man, I'm better than Bird. This sh*t right here gonna make me better than Jordan. I don't give a damn about them that much. And I love these dudes. I care about me being the best I can be every time I step out there and me impacting the game. And I felt like what I've done over these last 19 years like MJ, Kobe, LeBron, you can't talk down on me as like not being around and they know that.
There is worn stitching, fabric fraying, organic fading and piling on the seams of this size 46 Larry Bird jersey which is up for sale and is going for the price of a modest house. Those imperfections are a good thing. They prove the jersey matches the one worn for seven NBA playoff games by Bird as he tore up the court. That, along with a high-tech photo game-matching process, authenticate this is a rare, game-worn jersey donned by Bird during the 1987 Eastern Conference playoffs, including in two finals games. Now up for bid at Heritage Auctions, the jersey had a bid of $175,000 as of early Tuesday morning.
In fact, Bird’s Celtics and Magic’s Lakers met only three times in the NBA Finals: back-to-back in 1984 and ’85, and again in 1987. And when it comes to drama, the Celtics in seven games the first time stands among the greatest all-time NBA series. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch at the time was a 14-year-old kid growing up in Pennsylvania. He was asked Saturday which team he was rooting for in that must-see series. “I grew up as a Sixers fan, so it was really hard to root for either,” Finch said. “Actually, when I really started to watch basketball … I was probably a secret Celtics fan that time, with Bird."

Jorge Sierra: Rudy Gobert passed Moses Malone in blocks for No. 29 in NBA history last night. Also: Andre Drummond tied Bill Bridges in rebounds for No. 31 and Al Horford moved ahead of Larry Bird for No. 58.
Gilbert Arenas: Magic Johnson lost four NBA Finals. Same with Kareem—he lost a whole bunch of Finals too. But nobody talked about it… because that wasn’t the narrative." "They just pushed greatness to us. Jordan was horrible in the ‘92 Olympics. Horrible. He was probably the fourth or fifth best player on that team." "But again, it was Michael Jordan, so he was presented as the best player. Why? We just saw that Team USA won by a hundred… and Jordan was there. Magic wasn’t even playing. Larry Bird wasn’t playing.
Eddie Johnson: And I will go on record and say you would have been in the continental basketball association and not in the NBA in the 80’s. . KD would have been Amazing in the 80’s, but you have zero clue how good Larry Bird was. ZERO!
