Yeah but Bird had injury problems late in his career. Had Bird been healthy it would be a no brainer. Duncan is just so dependable. Both are great clutch players. I honestly think Duncan is the 4th best big man in NBA history behind Russell Wilt and Kareem.
And it's really hard to pick a top 5. Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Jordan? Do you leave out Russell?

Is there any question about this foul warranting an ejection?
He definitely wasn't going for the ball there, but it didn't look like he was trying to take off Rondo's head either. He just wrapped him up in mid-air. Definitely a flagrant 1... but I don't think it was bad enough for a flagrant 2 and subsequent ejection.
Although, the refs are being consistent. That hit wasn't any harder than the hit Haywood gave LeBron, and he got thrown out too.

Bird had injury problems, but still put up numbers. And the Celtics were almost always in the mix for a Championship
Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...

So are the Spurs. Bird also had a better team surrounding him.
I just think it's close. Bird has an edge, but I don't think it's a large edge.
I've had to watch Duncan destroy my Suns year in and year out. Maybe I'm biased because I only caught the end of Bird's career.

Well the officials let the players play for 3 quarters, and din't call every little ticky tacky touch foul on the Celtics. Give the Hawks another 40 free throws, and it might have been a close game, especially if Bibby and Josh Smith had managed to show up.
Too bad, I was rooting for the Hawks to put an end to Doc Rivers' tenure in Boston.
